Your Role in the Community

Shavuot on the Mountain is a co-created and communal experience. All of our teachers come directly from the Shavuot on the Mountain community! In addition, the success and beauty of our village will rely on our agreements for living harmoniously in community.

Teaching

Wilderness Torah is building a community ecology that serves as a platform for community enrichment, education, collaboration and exchange.  For example, participants voluntarily provide programs and workshops at Wilderness Torah festivals like Shavuot on the Mountain, allowing Wilderness Torah to offer innovative educational opportunities, while providing a platform for experienced teachers and new teachers alike to develop and share their new ideas and talents with the Wilderness Torah community. Fill out the form at the Program Offerings page and email it to Sarai with your idea if you’d like to offer a teaching at Shavuot on the Mountain.

The Village Council (Planning Team) and other Volunteer Opportunities

A Shavuot on the Mountain Village Council is hard at work organizing the festival. Please thank them for their service! When you register, you will be asked if you’d like to help the planning committee by volunteering for a couple hours in the week or two leading up to the event.

Work Exchange

There are a limited number of onsite work-exchange positions available in areas from set-up and break-down to childcare and help in the kitchen. Please fill out the work exchange application by May 18th.

Help Someone Else Go

We want to offer $500 in scholarships and work-exchange positions for Shavuot on the Mountain this year, so that everyone who wants to come is able. Please consider purchasing a ticket at a higher price to enable someone with less money to attend. If you’ve already purchased a ticket or if you’re not coming, and you’d still like to donate to the scholarship fund, simply do so here. You can also donate an item to our wishlist!
