In this episode of JOFFICE Space, we interview Ari Eisen and Rachel Binstock from Urban Adamah. Ari is the Public Programs and Retreat Center Director, and Rachel is the Director of the Urban Adamah Fellowship.
We discuss how JOFEE spaces have become a new type of entry points to Jewish life, and the Jewish values at their cores. At Urban Adamah, the value of Peah, giving away food to those in need is centered in their programs.
Together, we look forward to grappling with concepts of place-based Judaism on Indigenous land as a community at the JOFEE Network Gathering.
JOFFICE SPACE is the new podcast series from Hazon, exploring the interdependent ecosystem of people and organizations shaping the world of Jewish Outdoor, food, farming & Environmental education (AKA JOFEE) today.
About Hazon: Hazon is the Jewish Lab for Sustainability. The Hebrew word “hazon” means “vision”. Our vision is of a vibrant, healthy Jewish community, in which to be Jewish is necessarily to help create a more sustainable world for all.
JOFFICE SPACE is co-hosted and produced by Yoshi silverstein, Director of the JOFEE Fellowship, and Hannah Henza, JOFEE Program Manager. Season one is edited by our summer JOFEE programs intern, Leora Nevins, and distributed by the Hazon marketing & Communications team.
JOFEE programs are made possible by a growing web of staff, participants, volunteers, lay-leaders, donors, organizations, institutions, and foundations. In particular, our national JOFEE work at Hazon is made possible by funding from the Jim Joseph Foundation.
Music: “Deep Inside My Heart”, performed by Hazon Fall Teva Educators on Teva Tunes. https://hazon.bandcamp.com/track/deep-inside-my-heart.
