Our friends at KAMII congregation are hosting a Food Justice & Sustainability Weekend from January 17 to 19 inspired by Martin Luther King, Jr. and by Tu B’Shevat, an “ancient agricultural tax day that was reinterpreted to have spiritual significance by the Jewish mystics in the middle ages…now considered the Jewish arbor day.”
NeighborSpace’s own Ben Helphand will be giving a workshop entitled “Land Trusts, Leases, And Lawns: Access To Urban Land For Growing.” For more information, a complete schedule and to register for workshops and Sunday lunch, visit KAMII’s MLK weekend website.
