Reinvigorate yourself and recharge your activist batteries on October 8th-10th at the Green Israel Summit 4: Green Renewal Shabbat at Eden Village Camp! As we read about the Biblical flood and the renewal of the earth on Shabbat Noach, we will learn how to renew ourselves and the environment.
Keynoting the event will be Naomi Tsur, Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem. Naomi heads the city’s environment, urban-planning and historic-conservation committees. This is only her second year in office, but Naomi already has made significant contributions to Jerusalem’s environment by developing a circuit of city bike paths, limiting private-car use in the Old City and initiating a dialogue with Palestinians about how best to handle waste.
Celebrate Shabbat Noach with stories, lectures and discussions in a welcoming, pluralistic setting. Explore the Jewish back-to-the-land movement and what Zionism means today. Learn about energy conservation, population growth, suburban sprawl, Negev preservation, and environmentalism during a time of war. Meet other young Jewish environmentalists from across North America.
The Green Israel Summit is a program of the Green Zionist Alliance. It is co-sponsored by the American Zionist Movement COEJL and Hazon.
