Will talk about all the exciting things off Israel's coast in terms of slowly becoming energy independent another time.
Proud to note that Benzi Ronen, a friend, one of my first new friends in Israel, is doing B"H well, in a competition in San Francisco http://www.globes.co.il/
Very Jewish to try to cut out the middle man !
Farmigo connect the farmer directly to the end-user by taking the orders and organizing it for the farmer so that all they have to do is package it. Farmigo takes care of everything else.
Published today was an article about Jewish Sustainability practices based on a Farm in Maryland.

Proud to say that I had something to do with www.shoresh.ca in it's previous organizational form Torat Hateva. Go Risa ! They are up for another grant to continue educating the Jews of Toronto and surrounding areas in getting connected to our Jewish Roots (pun intended) by planting and harvesting and learning about what it's like being a Jewish farmer.
Recently, we grew some red peppers on our balcony, WOW were they tasty, picked right off the vine and into our salad. They were well - alive ! Very hard to convey in a blog. Need to grow your own peppers and experience it yourself !
So what's the theme - connecting. What's the goal in life? If we dig deep down we want to connect to each other, to the objects we hold sentimental value and to the Creator - G-d. It's really easy to connect to objects, they don't really talk back to us - except computers, they give us constant error messages, but also lots of productive work ! People, well, relationships need building, nourishing and maintaining; G-d, so it seems like a one-sided discussion, but really isn't. So let's connect in an appropriate way with all of our and others' possessions, each other - especially family - and G-d. Each is a whole topic unto itself. Want to keep these relatively short. Till tomorrow.
