So, the first post had a title in Hindi, but I've corrected that and I am trying to figure out how to delete it ...
This is the first post on my Jewish environmental blog. I chose Bamidbar as the blog's title as I think we are always wandering, always searching, always wondering, always hoping. And, since I happen to live in the Sonoran desert, what better title for my musings about my place, our place on the planet and my wanderings to connect with the earth and its inhabitants. Yes, I am Jewish. Yes I care deeply about the planet and what we've done to destroy it, and what we can do to fix it. I take as my personal sacred and moral responsibility the task of doing what I can to protect my little piece of the environment, and to join with others in a community of activists dedicated to this cause.
As Rabbi Hillel said: "If not now, when?"
Shabbat Shalom,

About Me
- SUSAN KAPLAN
- I am Jewish, I am an environmentalist, I am a Jewish environmentalist. As Chair of the Southern Arizona Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, I have deepened my connection to Judaism and the environment; an inevitable synergy has blossomed. I believe we are either near, at, or past the tipping point in climate change, a crisis that affects us all. I believe it is a moral imperative to speak out on behalf of the earth and its inhabitants.

Agreed, that we must preserve the environment for those who wander after we leave and wander into hopefully well-preserved plances.

Hey.....most of mine are changed but had to revert on one bulb to have a dimmer switch work over table...any alternatives?
Hi Diane,
I believe there are now some bulbs that are compatible with dimmer switches. I'll do some research and create a post on that topic. Thanks for the question, it's a good one.
