3CLJC ECO JUDAISM UPDATE
We are currently waiting to hear if our application for Silver Award has been approved, which if gained, will be a great achievement for our community in a relatively short timescale. However, our Eco-Judaism credentials are not based simply on Awards but need to be embedded in our daily practice, whether on a community or individual basis. We’ve had some good recent initiatives including our very successful Eco Shabbat with Springhill Co-Housing group where we heard a lot about living more sustainably, and our Mitzvah Day, where we again brought clothes for recycling.
Another recent development is that we have linked up with a prospective member of 3CLJC, who is also a member of the Eco-Church network, so we have been exchanging notes and information to help us both move forward and improve our practice as ‘overseers’ of the Eco-Judaism/Eco-Church projects in our respective settings.
