Be Green: Support Jewish CSAs!

Information Session: Thursday, April 29th, 2010

The Cutting Veg Organic Farm is thrilled to offer two Jewish CSAs – the Tikkun Adamah CSA at the Kavanah Garden (Bathurst St. and Rutherford Rd.), and the Pri Adamah CSA at Temple Sinai (Bathurst St. and Wilson Rd.)! A Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program is a mutually beneficial partnership in which individuals or families receive fresh, local, organically grown produce weekly, while supporting local farmers and sustainable growing practices.

So, why is joining a CSA a “Jewish” thing to do? When God finished creating the world, God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden and commanded Adam, “l’ovdah u’l’shomra,” to serve and protect Creation. When we purchase local organic produce, we are supporting a food system that cares for our natural world, our health, and our community – we are honouring our role as stewards of God’s creation. As well, by participating in a CSA that values social, environmental, personal, and economic health as “the bottom line,” we actively participate in Tikkun Olam, repairing the world. Be a part of the over 60 Jewish communities across North America that have committed to putting Jewish purchasing power behind local farmers!

CSAs run from June-October. For more information about the Tikkun Adamah CSA and the Pri Adamah CSA, join us at an information session on Thursday, April 29th at 3:30pm in the Forum. Farmer Daniel Hoffmann and Kavanah Garden Director Risa Alyson Strauss will be available to answer questions, provide additional information, and hand out registration packages. For more information or to register, please contact Daniel Hoffmann (647)388-7444 or daniel@thecuttingveg.com. Space is limited, join today!.

Locks of Love: Can You Spare 10" of Hair?

On April 25th, the South Campus LBPA Mitzvah Committee will again host a Mitzvah Day for Locks of Love, a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children under 18 years of age suffering from long-term medical hair loss. This event is open to both campus communities.

Students in Grades 2-8, parents and staff from both campuses are invited to donate their hair to Locks of Love and help a child regain a sense of confidence. All students are encouraged to come out to support their friends' act of kindness. Dani from Dani's Hair Salon will be present to cut 10" of hair, to be donated to Locks of Love.

Please contact Amy Kaiser at amy.kaiser@utoronto.ca if you plan to donate your hair or if you have any questions!
