Olam Bashavua
Welcome to Olam BaShavua!
The purpose of this series is to educate, inspire and inform by highlighting advances in environmental work. While we are often inundated with all the troubling news of environmental challenges across the globe, here we highlight the good stuff. We generally look for news relating to our four core values: Incubating Emunah, Stewarding the Earth, Tzedakah, and Compassion for Creatures. Each of us holds significant decision making power in our personal and professional communities.
We hope these stories inspire and empower us to move our institutions in the right direction, yielding significant global impact.
For our educational coloring book on the weekly parsha, order Tiferet here.
