A progressive place of worship with programs dedicated to the values of social justice, Temple Sholom’s initiatives include Eco Chavura, which translates as “eco fellowship.” The new program’s primary objective is to reduce Temple Sholom’s environmental impact and raise awareness of environmental justice issues like the threat of climate change that face our world.
Launching an education program about proper recycling procedures, eliminating styrofoam and plastic products in favor of compostable ones, and hosting a farmers' market to encourage the consumption of healthy, locally grown food are among the steps Eco Chavura has taken to achieve this objective. Moreover, Temple Sholom held a screening of the documentary Food Patriots.
