Thank you for your interest in Pearlstone's Yibaneh Apprenticeship!

The Yibaneh Apprenticeship is an 8-month program from March through November for adults. Yibaneh integrates Jewish and wilderness education, organic farming, intentional community, social justice and spiritual practice.  Apprentices will choose either a Jewish education or a farm track and receive specialized instruction as well as general knowledge from our amazing staff. In addition, apprentices will be able to participate in a Permaculture Design Course and Certificate. In the farm track our apprentices work along aside our full-time farmers in our farm to table organic educational and production farm. In our Jewish educator track, Apprentices work with our outdoor educators to staff our immersive Jewish holiday celebrations, Tiyul Adventures summer camp and year programs, Family Farm Festivals, young adult engagement, Baltimore city school partnerships, congregational field trips, retreat guest engagement, and much more. The eight apprentices --four educators and four farmers --will live, learn and work on the beautiful Pearlstone campus.
