This 10 minute mini-documentary captures 7 years of communal work towards right relationship with land at Linke Fligl, a queer Jewish farm & cultural organizing project based on Schaghticoke land (NY) from 2016-2022. We created this film as a conversation starter, and hope it can serve as an accessible tool to deepen Jewish communal commitment to accountable land relationship.

Closed captioning included with film. The film’s title comes from a verse in Pirkei Avot/Chapters of Our Ancestors 2:16. Transliteration of Hebrew phrase: Lo alecha ha’melacha ligmor.

Chana Rusanov, Ollie Schwartz & Margot Seigle, LF Co-direcors * Sol Weiss, LF Co-director and graphic designer * Jonah Vitale-Wolff, Site Director at Soul Fire Farm * Naima Penniman, WILDSEED co-founder * Megan Madison, LF Cultural Organizing Team Member * Tagan Engel, LF Advisory Council Member * Rachel Kipnes, Education Director at Hinenu Baltimore
