ZERO-WASTE
KIDDUSH BEGINS THIS SHABBAT
Last week, all of the waste from our kiddush went to a landfill where it might take hundreds of years to decompose. This week, all of the waste from our kiddush will decompose naturally in a matter of weeks. God created the heavens and the earth in 7 days; TIC turned landfill into compost, creating flowers, plants and food. And God saw that it was good... ______________________________________________________________________________________
