December 7, 2011 - Community-Supported Agriculture: Transforming Your Jewish Community
Are you interested in bringing fresh, local, organic produce to your synagogue every week? Join Hazon's Anna Hanau, director of the Hazon CSA Program, and Naomi Abelson and Susan Paykin from the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism to learn about how to set up an innovative partnership between your synagogue and a local farm.
In this interactive session, we'll discuss: Why CSAs embody Jewish values How a CSA can reinvigorate social justice programming, get new folks involved, and liven up your congregational community How to start a CSA in your own congregation Hazon's
CSA Program has helped start over 55 sites in the US, Canada and
Israel. Its innovative educational platform allows members to explore
contemporary food issues from a Jewish perspective. Hazon CSA offers a
chance to re-examine and potentially redefine what it means for food to
be "koser" not only for us, but for the community and the earth as
well.
Join the Hazon and the Religious Action Center to learn more and get started!
