Fair trade Judaica

In the spirit of the season, I want to draw your attention to a wonderful new resource for planetary t'shuvah -- a new Web site at www.fairtradejudaica.org/. The site features fair trade Judaica products.

The Fair Trade Judaica site contains thorough and accessible information on fair trade and Jewish values, rooted in the exhortation to pursue justice: Tzedek Tzedek Tirdof. It explains how to identify fair trade products, stressing principles such as fair pay, worker independence, safe and healthy workplaces and environmental sustainability. And it links us to producers and distributors of everything from kippot to challah covers to kosher coffee!
