DESCRIPTION:The Conference will be live at:\nTemple Beth Elohim\, 10 Bethel Rd\, Wellesley MA \nAnd also on Zoom\n.\nThe activism of the Jewish Climate Action Network of Massachusetts is rooted in the Jewish values of Tikkun Olam (repair of the world) and Shomrei Adamah (guardians of the earth).

And if we’re going to reach our global climate goals by 2050\, we need everyone to do the work right now.\nBetween the climate crisis and current world situation\, there has never been a more challenging time to work together—which means our work is that much more necessary. The Fourth Jewish Climate Action Conference will focus on how we can work together to make necessary systemic change. Our goal is to inspire participants by highlighting ongoing successful collaborative efforts and to offer strategies for living a resilient and hopeful life in these troubled times.\nYour registration includes a screening of David Abel’s award-winning film “Inundation District.”\n \nOther Sessions will cover topics addressing:\n• The power of coalition to address climate change and environmental justice\n• Changing the infrastructure\n• Action solutions that others can use\n• advocacy and organizing\n• spiritual resilience and strategies for living\n• sustainability and greening your finances\n• overcoming racism in climate justice\n​• how to implement Jewish values into our climate work\nAytzim adds a thank you to Lynn Nadeau\, JCAN-MA member\, for her generous donation.

SUMMARY:Shmita and Debt Cancellation with Rabbi David Seidenberg
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, August 31 at 12 noon EDT / 9 a.m. PDT / 7 p.m. Israel  \nDid you know that the Shmita (Sabbatical year) cancels all debts between Jews\, whether in our outside of the land of Israel? Not only that — debts are not canceled at the beginning of the Shmita year (last fall)\, but rather at the end (this coming Rosh Hashanah)? Why did the Shmita (release) of debts happen after a whole Shmita year had passed? How did the Shmita year transform people’s relationships to get them ready for this great societal reset? How was release and liberation for the land entwined with liberation for human beings? After an overview of Shmita\, we will look deeply into these questions to discover something so important: our ancestors understanding of money\, of blessing\, of caring for the needy\, were all very different from our contemporary society’s. Hillel compromised the vision of Shmita in order to allow Jews to function in the Roman Empire — but now it is time to reclaim our heritage. How can we remodel our lives to give life to that utopian vision of so long ago? \nRabbi David Seidenberg is the creator of neohasid.org and the author of Kabbalah and Ecology: God’s Image in the More-Than-Human World. He has published widely on Judaism and human rights\, animal rights\, ethics\, and ecology\, and is well-known for his liturgy and translations.

SUMMARY:Strike for the Climate\, Albany NY: Friday Sept. 20th\, 11 am - 2 pm
DESCRIPTION:The People of Albany United for Safe Energy (PAUSE) are joining with the students from local high schools and colleges to hold a march and rally. Our specific purpose is to call upon Governor Cuomo to enact aggressive measures that can lead the nation and the world in lowering our greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to a safe level. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that we have until 2030 to lower GHG by 45% from the 2010 level. Every report the IPCC puts out is cautiously moderate and needs to be replaced by more dire predictions in their next report. Therefore\, we probably have less than 10 years to claw back our climate to a safe level before it reaches the tipping point in which hundreds of millions die and humanity\, itself\, is at risk. \nIn 2018 both the US and global GHG increased. The New York Times 12/5/18 headline reads “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Accelerate Like a ‘Speeding Freight Train’” in 2018. \nPAUSE and other groups will request that Governor Cuomo declare New York in a state of climate emergency in which he promises to do the following: \n1) Immediate ban on all new fossil fuel projects \n2) Immediate halt to all subsidies for fossil fuels from NYS \n3) Increase funding from $7-10 billion for renewable projects in the 2020-21 budget–40% of such funding will target disadvantaged communities. \n4) Convert all public buildings and vehicles to zero Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 2023 \n5) Amend building codes to require all new buildings be carbon emission free by 2023
