Counting for the Climate
The Omer Challenge

The Boston Jewish Food Conference is an annual springtime event that brings together community members from all over New England to learn about Jewish agriculture, labor issues, health, food access, kashrut and local food history.

This year, we invite conference participants to Count for the Climate. Starting the second day of Passover until Shavuot, we will count our carbon emissions for the 50 days of the Omer and pay forward the social cost of these emissions by supporting Ganei Beantown. The Omer (“sheaf”) was a harvest-offering brought to the Temple. This ancient spring ritual of counting the Omer provides an opportunity to reflect on our relationship to the Earth and the rhythms of the Jewish calendar. It creates a link between Passover, commemorating the Exodus, and Shavuot, commemorating the giving of Torah. Today, our work towards redemption is part of a mindfulness in the way we utilize the resources around us.

Dates: Mar 8, 2015 - Mar 8, 2015
