Our Hazon Seal of Sustainability network is large and strong. Together, we can aggregate our efforts and demonstrate how we, as a community of Jewish communities, have made and continue to make a measurable difference in safeguarding this earth (being “Shomrei Adamah”)!
We applaud each of our Hazon Seal institutions for the unique and impactful programs and policies implemented in 2018. As we begin to consider and to work on projects for 2019, we at the Hazon Seal wanted to announce that we are dedicating 2019 to the area of FOOD POLICY.
Whether addressing food waste, hunger in the community, composting and/or animal welfare – we encourage you to consider food policy to be one of your projects for 2019.
This means that if you choose to join us in these efforts, we may have funding available for some of your programs![myspacer]
We are happy to announce NEW MINI-GRANTS to help Hazon Seal sites create and implement a FOOD POLICY that also promotes ethical food sourcing and animal welfare in their organization. Get all the details here. Grants are limited and first-come, first-serve, so check it out today!
Consider the following…
- Know a bar or bat mitzvah student who loves animals? Check out The Ark Project, a free, comprehensive service-learning curriculum created by Jewish Initiative for Animals for bar and bat mitzvah students all about animals.
- Learn about how your food choices matter and check out Hazon’s bounty of material that can help you tie this into you your Jewish practice. Specifically, check out our Food for Thought guide.
- Take the Higher Welfare Eggs Commitment here.
We are mandated by Jewish tradition to have compassion for all creatures, especially those who rely exclusively on humans for proper mental and physical care. We invite you to take a small yet significant step towards fulfilling this mandate and treading more humanely on our earth.
See Hazon’s food values for inspiration, here.
Choose Food Policy as one of your projects this year. Sign the commitment, apply for a grant, and make a difference by putting your food dollars to work for your values.
