Special Havdalah Hike with Naturalist Naomi Stein

Join Naomi Stein in an exploration of the plants used as besamim (spices) during Havdalah. We'll talk about the intent and meaning behind the use of spice in the Havdalah ritual, learn about the different plants used by Jews in different times and places and smell a number of divine plants!
