This morning, the Green Hevra (the budding national Jewish sustainability roundtable dedicated to education, advocacy and action) presented at the Jewish Federation of North America's General Assembly (affectionately referred to as the GA).
We spoke of the greening of the American Jewish community, city by city and program by program.
So much to talk about and so little time. Plus - only 30 or so folks came. A most disappointing showing.
Still, the work is inspiring, the progress is amazing and we are fired up to make the 2014 GA - which is said to be in DC - the year when green goes mainstream.
Fall 2014 is the start of the next shemittah (sabbatical) year.
We will have LOTS to say about this over the next 24 months - so keep on the lookout for shemittah developments.
In addition, a wonderful website overflowing with "greening" resources was unveiled today by Jewcology:
It was created in conjunction with a site called On1Foot. You can find the environmental pages here.
It has materials that you can read, download and manipulate into your own lesson plans and resource sheets.
Take a tour, a little walk-around - learn, enjoy, share.
