This week, Yoshi and Hannah interview … each other! Tune in to hear more about our work as the JOFEE program team at Hazon and the delights, challenges, and fascinations around how to strengthen a professional field of practice across diverse people, places, and organizations.

Additional highlights include how JOFEE weaves together a web of individuals for broader change and impact; how Jewish camping as a movement can be seen as a useful parallel for the work we’re doing; and highlights and lessons from our own professional growth and journey both separately and as a team.

We end by discussing how we stay actively and personally connected to nature in addition to our active professional JOFEE careers. Hannah reminds us all to just “get outside” and we hope to get outside together at the 2019 JOFEE Network Gathering: Aug 30, 2019 - Sep 2, 2019 at Urban Adamah in Berkeley and Walker Creek Ranch in Petaluma, CA.

JOFFICE SPACE is the new podcast series from Hazon, exploring the interdependent ecosystem of people and organizations shaping the world of Jewish Outdoor, food, farming & Environmental education (AKA JOFEE) today.

About Hazon: Hazon is the Jewish Lab for Sustainability. The Hebrew word “hazon” means “vision”. Our vision is of a vibrant, healthy Jewish community, in which to be Jewish is necessarily to help create a more sustainable world for all.

JOFFICE SPACE is co-hosted and produced by Yoshi silverstein, Director of the JOFEE Fellowship, and Hannah Henza, JOFEE Program Manager. Season one is edited by our summer JOFEE programs intern, Leora Nevins, and distributed by the Hazon marketing & Communications team.

JOFEE programs are made possible by a growing web of staff, participants, volunteers, lay-leaders, donors, organizations, institutions, and foundations. In particular, our national JOFEE work at Hazon is made possible by funding from the Jim Joseph Foundation.

Music: “Deep Inside My Heart”, performed by Hazon Fall Teva Educators on Teva Tunes. https://hazon.bandcamp.com/track/deep-inside-my-heart.
