We’re More Sustainable!

Sadye Hazan

Tue Feb 14

Last Friday was an exciting Shabbat for Hillel.  We celebrated Tu B’Shevat, the New Year for trees.  Tu B’Shevat is a very eco-friendly holiday, so it was the perfect Shabbat to show off our most recent accomplishment–we got real plates in our meat kitchen! This is a huge step from the paper plates we would use every week as we strive to become more a sustainable house.  It is one of the many steps that Hillel has taken as a participant in the Hazon Seal of Sustainability. 

In addition to having real plates for dinner, we also made a vegan meal for this Shabbat.  We had seitan, a wheat gluten that is a delicious meat supplement, pasta with a creamy garlic and tomato sauce, roasted potatoes, eggplant and mixed vegetables on the side.  By eating a vegan meal and not having meat, we reduced our carbon footprint, helping our planet!

Hillel is striving to be more sustainable by getting a set of dishes for the meat kitchen and a set for the dairy kitchen in the future. We also have two sets of metal silverware that we use for both meat and dairy meals.

We inspire every Jewish student to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel.
