Greening our Lives

Tu BiSh’vat, symbolizing our partnership with God in creation and our responsibility for our environment, presents us with the ideal opportunity to engage in environmental education and work.  Encouraging the greening of our daily lives is surely part of this holiday’s message. To fulfill the mandate of tikkun olam, repairing the world, there is nothing more appropriate than to try to implement environmentally sound practices and energy-efficient ways in our homes, our work and our community.  You can find many suggestions of how to begin or continue this work in a Jewish context at http://rac.org/pubs/holidayguides/tubshvat/
