Come join us in Gleisdreieckpark to read nature poetry together as the day draws to a close. For a few hours we will celebrate, honor, and enjoy the ancient practice of sabbath (shabbat), a weekly day of rest, a weekly Earth Day. Part of the green sabbath weekend sponsored by the Green Sabbath Project, please gather with us as the sun sets to slow down, relax, breathe, take notice, express gratitude, and get in touch with our world and ourselves. Bring a favorite poem of yours, if you like, even one you wrote yourself. (No epics, please.)

Afterward, all are invited to sit at Tor Eins or another of the park’s cafes for mingling and conversation. Socializing with family and good friends is another vital component of sabbath/shabbat.

Hosted by:

Jonathan Schorsch Professor, Jewish Religious and Intellectual History, Universität Potsdam Founder and director, the Green Sabbath Project

and

Claudia J. Ford Professor of Environmental Studies, SUNY Potsdam Midwife, Ethnobotanist, Artist
