Tu B'Shvat 2023

Please join us for a Sustainable Shabbat Dinner for Tu B'Shvat and panel discussion on Jewish environmental values. This event is part of the Hazon Seal of Sustainability/Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver partnership that Schara Tzedeck is involved with. The goal of this program is to raise environmental awareness and to make the Jewish community more sustainable. The post-dinner panel will be open to the community and features four local community leaders who work in environmental and sustainability industries, and will be moderated by Rabbi Schachter.
