Program Description: Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action
Learn how to make a difference – and spread the word on how solutions to our Climate Crisis are available and affordable. As Jews, we are compelled to act, as our ancestors did, who faced extinction, with courageous action. The climate crisis is the defining challenge of our lifetimes.
Triangle’s Dayenu Circle will empower our Western Wake friends with “Climate Action tools” to address our heating planet earth. A quick review of the Climate Crisis will reveal how we are all impacted. Followed by the good news that solutions exist to “cool our planet,” and how they are gradually being implemented. The presentation will be enhanced by engaging participants interactively in meaningful and fun ways. The Renewable Energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable electric energy is happening – and we are all invited to participate.
The presentation will be given by Arthur and Anya Gordon. Now in retirement, Arthur founded and operated the Irregardless Cafe & Catering in Raleigh for 45 years. Irregardless Cafe was the first restaurant in North Carolina to enforce “No Smoking,” 25 years before the state of North Carolina mandated it. The Cafe also used Solar Panels to heat the hot water, and operated the Well-Fed Community Garden, 3 miles from the Cafe, which grew organic produce served at the Cafe. Anya served on the City of Raleigh’s Environmental Advisory Board as it’s Chairperson and cares passionately about our planet.
