Food Justice Programs Well Attended
Enthusiastic audiences heard Nigel Savage at Temple Beth Zion and Cong. Dorshei Tzedek this weekend. Members of Moishe/Kavod House, JALSA, Temple Shalom of Newton, TBZ, and Dorshei came together to listen to the HAZON leader and help build the Jewish Food Movement in Boston. Immediate local steps include participation in CSA arrangements (Community Supported Agriculture), support of the Nutrition Bill (H 4459) at the State Legislature (which includes provisions to encourage school purchase of local products), continued encouragement of workshops at different synagogues to encourage participation, and efforts to encourage local supermarkets to consider exploitation of workers as they determine where to purchase food. The Nutrition Bill has been sent to Senate Ways and Means and JALSA members should talk to their senators to encourage swift movement of this legislation
