SUMMARY:Drawdown EcoChallenge - Team SiVIC Council
DESCRIPTION:Come join the team SiVIC Council for the Drawdown EcoChallenge coming April 3-24\, 2019! \nWhat is the EcoChallenge?\nEcoChallenge is an environmental organization that believes the solution to the planet’s biggest challenges lies in the power of collective action. It is part of a suite of educational and engagement offerings by the Northwest Earth Institute\, a nonprofit organization based in Portland\, Oregon. \nEcoChallenge gives us the tools and inspiration to reduce our impact on the planet and contribute to a healthy\, vibrant and sustainable future – while engaging our community and having fun in the process. EcoChallenge has been changing the habits and lives of participants across the world since 2010. \nThey challenge us to choose actions to reduce our impact on the environment and stick with it for the duration of the challenge. Each of us designs our Challenge and sets a goal that stretches our comfort zone and makes a difference for us\, our community and the planet. \nWhy take the Drawdown EcoChallenge?\nThe Drawdown EcoChallenge is an opportunity to change our lives for good. Common wisdom says it takes at least 21 days to change a habit: if we can stick with a new behavior for 21 days in a row\, we’re a lot more likely to keep it up forever. EcoChallengers share their progress and earn points for taking action. The combination of collective inspiration\, camaraderie and friendly competition makes change a little easier — and a lot more fun. \nAND participating is FREE! You just need an email address. There are simple challenges in the areas of social justice\, transport\, food\, materials\, women and girls\, buildings and cities\, electricity generation\, and land use Go to drawdown.ecochallenge.org to find out more and to sign up for challenges that make a difference in our lives and in the planet. \nDaily challenges start on April 3\, 2019 and run through April 24\, 2019. This is the month of Earth Day/Earth Week. SiVIC Board Chair\, Rev. Joy-Ellen Lipsky\, is the captain of the SiVIC Council team for Drawdown EcoChallenge. Sign up at http://drawdown.ecochallenge.org and become a part of our team. Show your SiVIC spirit and do some simple\, yet profound things to help our Earth and all its living things.

SUMMARY:Annual Surjit Singh Lecture in Comparative Religious Thought and Culture -- Interfaith  Youth Core
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Eboo Patel at the Graduate Theological Union on Tuesday\, March 19th. The annual Surjit Singh Lecturefosters interreligious and cross-cultural communication and understanding. \nDr. Patel will be the featured speaker this year and will discuss a path forward that keeps faith with the historic identity of seminaries and divinity schools and serves a rapidly changing society characterized by marginalization\, tribalism and deep difference. \nThis free event will take place at 7:30pm at Zaytuna College (2401 Le Conte Avenue\, Berkeley\, CA 94709). A reception will follow in the GTU Richard S. Dinner Boardroom (2400 Ridge Road\, 3rd Floor). For more information and to register\, please click here.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEboo Patel \nEboo founded Interfaith Youth Core on the idea that religion should be a bridge of cooperation rather than a barrier of division. He is inspired to build this bridge by his identity as an American Muslim navigating a highly religiously diverse social landscape. For over fifteen years he has worked with governments\, social sector organizations\, and college and university campuses to help make interfaith cooperation a social norm.\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Water Is Life: Marking World Water Day March 15 -- WILPF
DESCRIPTION:Water is Life Water is everywhere. What is our relationship to it? \nWater is Life Water is everywhere\, in our bodies\, in our world. Water is the original source of life and all life contains water. Of all the water on our world only 2.5% is freshwater. And of that 69% is in glaciers\, 30% in groundwater and only one third of one percent (.3%) in renewable supplies in lakes and waterways. So little. And yet we pollute it with inadequate sanitation\, with industrial and military waste and with our lack of care in using water as a dumping ground. \nRowan Fairgrove and Patrick Ferraro will discuss local\, regional and global water issues and then\, using Appreciative Inquiry we will discuss our relationship to water in small groups. \nThis is one of US WILPF’s solidarity events to commemorate World Water Day on March 22. We are marking World Water Day a week early\, on March 15. \nhttps://www.wilpfsanjose.org/recent-activity/2019/3/2/water-is-life-marking-world-water-day

SUMMARY:Holy Cow!: How Do Hindus\, Muslims\, Jains and Buddhists Eat?
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, January 13\, 2019 3:50pm\n\nAddison-Penzak Jewish Community Center\n14855 Oka Rd.\, Los Gatos\, CA 95032\n(Off Lark Avenue\, near Highway 17S) \nSiVIC’s January Interreligious Leaders Forum will be a part of the annual Jewbilee event at the Jewish Community Center. \nJewbilee 2019 – A Day of Jewish Learning\nSunday\, January 13 @1:00pm – 6:30pm (for the entire Jewbilee)\nTheme this year is “Food for Thought”\, and SiVIC is sponsoring a presentation at 3:50pm titled\n“Holy Cow!  How do Hindus\, Muslims\, Jains and Buddhists Eat?”\nOur presenters are Mihir Meghani (Hinduism)\, Raania Mohsen (Islam)\, Girish Shah (Jainism) and Abbot Jianhu Shifu (Buddhism)\, moderated by Diane Fisher (Judaism) \nYou probably know that Hindus traditionally don’t eat beef and Muslims don’t eat pork\, but this panel of Hindu\, Muslim\, Jain and Buddhist practitioners will discuss much more about food and their faith. Food binds a community\, and fortifies a community. It also paradoxically sets people of different faiths apart. Come learn and ask those questions you’ve always had about food and other faiths. \nTickets for the full day of teachers\, artists\, educators\, speakers and performers.\nSiVIC participants may obtain complimentary passes for just our session from diane@jvalley.org \n
