CURRENT MISSION

Connecting Jewish ethics and environmental justice through interfaith organizing.

ABOUT ME

I am a student at Oberlin College in Ohio, hailing from my permanent home of Massachusetts. Among other exciting endeavors, I am studying Jewish Studies and Environmental Studies, bridging the two through interfaith environmentalism. I am a long-time Co-oper, have a deep love for cross-country skiing, and can often be found having crafting-parties.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once spent three weeks living and working at a cross-country ski lodge in the mountains of Western Massachusetts. I cooked, taught, skied, and cleaned. During the occasional moment to relax, I read books by the fire and talked about environmentalism with the wonderful couple who owned the lodge.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach:
-Basic knitting
-Notebook making
-Cross-country skiing
-All manner of cooking (especially baking, and Jewish foods)
-Jewish knowledge

-Other people's cooking talents
-More crafting skills
-The diverse, interdependent, and beautiful religions of the world
