"In a world where people loudly claim what they're against, Miknaf Ha'aretz asks what are we for? Sara and Samson are building spaces that help Jews in the diaspora feel rooted in the place they call home — an essential yet overlooked dimension of progressive activism within the anti-Zionist movement. Miknaf Ha'aretz lovingly build community rooted in social justice, land justice, equality, belonging and freedom for all, with Judaism at its heart."

"I got to go deep, I got to go wide. Sara and Samson hold the group in such love and radical acceptance of our humanity that a blossoming is possible. They do it with joy and humour and a lightness of touch."

"This retreat gave me deep Jewish communal care, connection to the land and taught me political and queer relations to our liturgy and intellectual traditions. I am always amazed by Miknaf Haaretz’s ability to bring the land and its many beings so tangibly into our communal experiences and reflections, not allowing it to become a passive backdrop as in so many other ritual spaces. The retreat helped me to envision different forms of Jewish and non-Jewish solidarity through their invitation of diverse educators and drawing from multiple writers, allowing me to connect parts of my life which are normally separated into ‘Jewish’ and ‘Non-Jewish’ spaces. I’m not sure I’ve ever had the privilege to bond with such an amazing constellation of people."

"Miknaf Haaretz is one of the most sacred and radical communities I have ever been part of. I'm so grateful to Sara and Samson for creating such a special safe container to do the deep work of reclaiming our Jewishness on our terms, in connection with the land, beyond nation-states. Thank you Miknaf for your incredible role in my journey of reconnecting with my Jewishness, you have made it feel possible to hold all of these difficult tensions and feelings inside myself in a way that feels nourishing and healing."

"As someone who has struggled to connect with my identity within Judaism the Miknaf Ha‘aretz Living Mountain retreat was the most magical introduction. I felt safe and supported in not knowing all the answers and my curiosity was met with openness and care. Sara & Samson have a real gift when it comes to creating radically inclusive spaces. I cannot wait to join more of their events in future."

“Sara and Samson wove together perspectives which allowed the attendees to understand how Shmita and Jewish earth-based practices can be and are approached in a number of ways - from radical political land reappropriation to reviving Mishna-era rituals. Every aspect of the retreat wove back into its ecological ethos, such as the chef who was a food-grower herself. Sara and Samson’s choice of speakers, coming from radical and inspiring projects from across the UK, drew a map for the participants for how our earth-based Jewishness could flourish across time, place and medium (from Leicester to Wales). Talmudic texts and liturgy were present in every aspect of the retreat, merging ancient text with the soil, flora and fauna of Devon in a way which invigorated my relation to Jewish sacred writings.”

“I honestly just feel so blessed and nourished from the weekend. My spiritual side has largely lain dormant whilst I have struggled over the past pandemic couple of years to connect. And it was SUCH A JOY to be singing, praying, learning, and just being with other gorgeous souls in such a wild and vibrant land space together. I also felt reconnected to my connection with land, nature and the natural world and learnt a lot from all the Shmita thoughts. It was so meticulously organised and structured in the most thoughtful way - I really felt like I was being gently carried on a journey, like Moshe in his little basket down the river!!!!!"
