Many of us are familiar with the famous quote from Lutheran pastor Martin Niemoller:
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.” Part of our lived experience as Jews, is social justice. Today we can no longer ignore environmental justice and action. Many of us believe there isn’t much that we can do as individuals that will make much of a difference. But I am here to tell you that what you do as an individual does make an impact. Here at Temple Chai, we are working to reduce our carbon footprint by starting composting and recycling programs and designing our new campus to be environmentally friendly. At home some simple things you can start with:
L’dor v’dor, it is our duty to preserve the world for future generations. Shanah tovah, Ingrid Gold
