Are You Ready for Easter and Passover?
Spring has sprung! As you prepare to celebrate consider the source of your gifts.

Look for the Fair Trade label

Holidays are a chance to get together with family to celebrate traditions and beliefs, but it's easy to get caught up in the consumerism that goes along with them. This year, consider the source of your Easter bunnies, Seder table decorations, chocolate, and flowers. Together we can take a stand and create demand for ethically sourced goods.

Fair Trade Judaica has great resources for incorporating fair trade into all aspects of your celebration, including food and a special kavannah.

Getting ready for Easter? Chocolate is one of the most readily available fair trade products. You'll find a variety of brands at your local Whole Foods along with fair trade flowers. If you're sending a bouquet, One World Flowers is a great source for every occasion.

Happy celebrating!
