Eco Spa Balm Making

Our tradition teaches that Shmirat HaGuf – care of our bodies – is important so that we can do good work in the world. To love ourselves we need to take care of our mind, body, and spirit. Using natural products with simple earth-based ingredients is a way of taking care of our bodies and gifting to others.

Microgreens

Microgreens are mini versions of regular vegetables. The shoots are harvested at a young age, before they grow into fully matured plants. They have a wonderful flavor and are richer in nutrition than their larger counterparts. Best of all, microgreens are fun and easy to grow!

Paper Making

As we learn from our tradition, we have a responsibility to care for the trees we have and to plan trees for the future. Recycled papermaking is a way of making new paper without needing to harvest more trees.

Pickling 101

There are many options to preserve each season’s harvest, including canning, vinegar pickling, drying, blanching and freezing. This particular activity teaches lacto-fermentation pickling – an easy, fun and extremely health-friendly method of food preservation. Participants will take home a jar of their own and in a few days will be able to eat their own pickles!

]]> Betzalel’s Workshop involves creating and working with ritual objects from local, organic, ethically sourced, and recycled materials, participants will learn both the centrality of environmental responsibility to Jewish life, as well as a sense of ownership and pride over their participation in Jewish ritual. We feel that, by creating the basic object of a ritual, with all its flaws, character, and uniqueness, children are drawn closer to ritual. By creating an alternative to mass-produced, store-bought Judaica, we create an avenue towards creative, participatory Judaism.

]]> Temple Emanu-El Atlanta Kick-Off of Crayon Recycling Program
The big outcome is that Temple Emanu-El Atlanta were able to recycle/upcycle over 25 pounds of used unwanted crayons to become 125 packs of new recycled crayons for kids in hospitals, and they are continuing the collection as the camp and preschool plan to re-open this summer.
As RuPaul has been quoted as saying, “Life is about using the whole box of crayons” and it is amazing that Temple Emanu-El Atlanta helped fulfill that for others in need.
