Green Chavurah 

Kol Shofar's Green Chavurah is a dedicated and enthusiastic group of individuals, committed to transforming the synagogue into a model of eco-sustainability.

We believe that by seeing green principles demonstrated in every area of synagogue life, congregants will be more likely to take these ideas and practice them in their homes, schools, businesses and greater communities.

Want to do your part to stop global warming? We welcome congregants of all ages. Join others from Kol Shofar to take action, educate others, and make changes in our community.

Currently our main focus is on ensuring that our new building, which breaks ground at the beginning of next year, be as green as possible. We meet periodically (about once a month) to talk about our ideas for greening the new building. We not only discuss our ideas for making Kol Shofar a shining example of the best ideas of green construction, but also how our congregation can become the leader in sustainable  congregations. If you have ideas for the new building, or if you have ideas of how we can practically achieve our goals (by raising funds or contacting suppliers) please join us.

Your help is needed now!
Getting involved in this project is a way to impact Kol Shofar's eco-imprint for years/decades to come, and also a great opportunity to practice Tikkun Olam in our own backyard.

For more information, please contact Sarah Rose through the Kol Shofar directory, or by emailing green@kolshofar.org
