Kabbalah and Eco-Kosher

[CGayle]

Hi Anath, et al,
There is a kashrut movement just as you imagine, called, Eco-Kashrut, named by the founder of Jewish Renewal, Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi.  Eco-kashrut includes practices that are environmentally responsive.  There is a Jewish environmental movement as well, more modern practice Jews, although there is nothing in traditional practice that would not support this.
With Shalom,
Cynthia Gayle

  Dear Ed,
  Thanks for your comments.
  But try and not use the dryer for sheets etc -and not be/c it is better for the fabric - just so  you will know (especially if you live in an apt)how life will be when we run out of resources,or what life has been for the  too poor to have resources,and  who therefore do not pollute ,but have no awareness of the problem...(of course by you,I mean generic you). That awareness issue is the point. And then the discipline to proceed with  action. That is the argument for keeping kashrus:,dietary laws, an enforcement  of discipline to show one's willingness to follow God..,in hebrew the numeric value of nature and God is the same. I think we need now new  laws  of kashrus and   an vanguard ready to take upon themselves willingly the discomfort of not using instruments that make our life easier but  damaging to the environment.,and consciously economize on resources. \
  So if I were playing God,I 'do be searching  urgently for a group ready for such sacrifice,be/c of their concern for  Nature.
  . Who will they be? What shall we call them?  Moreaneans? If everyone on listserve,and their families and their employees,students etc...joined...now that is "concretization"!
  Of course that does not negate the possibility of writing papers,researching ,developing new technology social and otherwise.,
   About Moreno and Sociatry.  Recently I started   to study in depth the  Kabballah,and come to realize that Moreno was ,yes, a cabbalist.,which makes me recall few of the encounters I had with him,and totally not getting what he was saying.  Or blown away by what he said.  Oh how i wish it was me now,not me at twenty something.   SO many similarities especially since in both cases the goal is no less than the correction of the whole.  Both assume society develops according to a definite laws. More About all that another time.
  Let me know what you come up in your research. Thanks re John Seed. Will look him up.

  So good to  hear your ideas.
  Happy New Year!
