Join Rabbi Shifra for Interfaith Climate Shabbat. The focus of the service will be how faith traditions speak to care for mother earth. 

Dan Haifley will be presenting after the service on the proposal to open up the waters off the Coast to offshore oil drilling and mining.  Environmental organizations are mobilizing to defeat this proposal and Dan is one of the leaders in this effort.
