JOFFICE Space 1.3 - Hazon Detroit

Hazon: The Jewish Lab for Sustainability

In this episode we host stars from the Hazon Detroit team. Wren Hack is the Director of the Hazon Metro Detroit office and Brittany Feldman is the Manager of Sustainability and Outdoor Engagement. They had a busy week running the regenerative bread camp-- a workshop on utilizing locally grown grain to make amazing breads. We discuss highlights and challenges of their professional JOFEE journeys, and the importance of authenticity in their intercultural work. They also inform us of their very exciting solar project in which they have supported eight of their seal sites to install solar panels generating up to 80% of their energy usage. Listen up to hear more about these exciting projects happening in the Metro Detroit area.

JOFFICE SPACE is the new podcast series from Hazon, exploring the interdependent ecosystem of people and organizations shaping the world of Jewish Outdoor, food, farming & Environmental education (AKA JOFEE) today.

About Hazon: Hazon is the Jewish Lab for Sustainability. The Hebrew word “hazon” means “vision”. Our vision is of a vibrant, healthy Jewish community, in which to be Jewish is necessarily to help create a more sustainable world for all.

JOFFICE SPACE is co-hosted and produced by Yoshi silverstein, Director of the JOFEE Fellowship, and Hannah Henza, JOFEE Program Manager. Season one is edited by our summer JOFEE programs intern, Leora Nevins, and distributed by the Hazon marketing & Communications team.
