Dear Friends,
(This is a public service announcement about a new blog/website I am helping to build. Hope you enjoy. And write for it. And comment on it. And even critique it when you feel so moved!)
The Sova (Enoughness) Project is a blog-spot, sponsored by:
- the Center for Global Judaism at Hebrew College
- the Baltimore Jewish Environmental Network
- the Heschel Sustainability Center
BJEN (the host for my blog!) is honored to be in such company.
Inspired by the upcoming shmita (sabbatical) year which commences in September 2014, the goal of The Sova Project is to raise awareness across the global Jewish community about issues of environmental, social and economic sustainability through a multi-disciplinary conversation including activists, economists, Jewish studies scholars, communal leaders and plain old people like you and me who make the world go round.
We will seek to take the ancient, timeless values underlying the laws and practices of shmita and apply them to the hurly-burly world today.
To learn more and to join in this critical conversation, please visit us at www.sovaproject.org.
