RSVP & for more info: aaron.lawee@gmail.com Join Moishe House Silver Spring, Jews United for Justice, Avodah-AJWS, and Shomrei Adamah for a delicious and informative BBQ. We'll be feasting on homemade local, organic, Kosher burgers and vegetarian delights, and exploring what being a consumer of food actually means. Topics of discussion will include: ++ Local and organic - what it means and why it's important ++ Migrant worker rights and last year's immigration raid on the Agriprocessors Kosher meat plant in Postville, Iowa. ++ The effect of our food production and consumption on the environment. ++ Why this is a Jewish issue. This event is funded by a generous grant from the Jewish Community Relations Council (http://www.jcouncil.org/) and is completely free, but please RSVP so we know how much food to buy. | ||
