Global Hunger Shabbat
March 16, 2010
This Shabbat the American Jewish World Service has initiated a Global Hunger Shabbat which can be an opportunity for Jews nationwide to unite for this common cause and to raise our collective voices against the injustice that is claiming lives around the world. As Jews, social justice has always been in our prayers and our actions, and this day of solidarity is designed to bring about our deepest impulse for effecting change.
One of the ways we can employ change is by purchasing products bearing a label stating “Fair Trade Certified,” which guarantees that the farmers who grew the produce, such as coffee, tea and sugar are paid a fair price, and practice ethical business practices using sustainable techniques.
You may be surprised to learn that your daily choice of coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar, rice, vanilla, flowers or even bananas has a global impact.
Fair Trade’s strategic intent is to work with marginalized producers and workers in order to help them move towards economic self-sufficiency and stability. It also aims to allow them to become greater stakeholders in their own organizations, as well as play a wider role in international trade. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries.
You can purchase “Fair Trade Certified” products in the following stores; Costco, Sam’s Club, Trader Joes, Walmart, Target and Whole Foods. Please encourage our kosher supermarkets to carry “Fair Trade Certified” products by asking them to stock it. By empowering those fair trade farmers, we ultimately enable communities to help themselves achieve sovereignty, which is the highest form of tzedakah.
