While Jewish thought touches the highest peaks of spirituality, Jewish practices are all about keeping your feet on the ground. Built around the ability to keep things going, it suggests and demands one to constantly cultivate ones soul, family, community and land. They are all weaved together to make up the fabric of life.

It seems Judaism knows how to take the agricultural logic behind making compost (not waste) and applying it to financial systems of erasing debt and creating more equal access to resources. Sounds complex? You wouldn't believe how natural this will feel once you start listening.
