The United Nations program Plant for the Planet is training children and teens to become Ambassadors for Climate Justice at free one-day Academies open to all students in grades 4-12.
Register by the evening of Sunday, April 10th so that your student can be empowered to fight for global climate justice. Go to ClimateChangeRecovery.org for the first step in the two-step registration process; you will find a link there to register at the Federation’s site also—please complete that step no later than Sunday evening April 10th.
Academies bring students together from around the area, so that many students interested in becoming Climate Justice Ambassadors will have the opportunity to participate.
Youth teach other youth to become Ambassadors knowledgeable about:
• the science of Climate Change and Recovery,
• the impacts on people everywhere of the current situation,
• how to plant trees and organize planting parties.
• how to make effective presentations and influence policy.
And we provide ongoing activities after the Academy.
Since 2007, Plant for the Planet has empowered more than 36,000 children in 50 countries to stop Climate Change through planting trees and getting adults to act. Academies give students the skills and confidence to speak out on Climate Change.
You can also share these event through Facebook and encourage kids to spread the word through Instagram. (Links below.)

Please join us for our Community Seder on Saturday, April 23, at 6:00 pm. Great for all ages, the seder will be led by Havurah member Adela Basayne with roles played by other Havurah members and music provided by Havurah musician Beth Hamon. In this thought-provoking, personal, and celebratory seder, we will plan our escape from Egypt together.
Please join Congregation Shaarie Torah for a special second night seder full of song, celebration, kosher food and wine, conversation, learning and connection.
Why is this Seder different from all other Seders? Tonight we celebrate with Song! The Torah teaches us that the exodus from Egypt began with a Song. When they found water in the wilderness the Israelites broke out in song. And Moses says goodbye at the end of the Torah with a song. Song is central to the Jewish journey. As we make our way through the Passover story in this traditional seder, we will sing the songs handed down from generation to generation, along with new songs of our own. It will be a night of melody and harmony bringing people together.
