O If You Could Change the World... By Heidi Rotberg, President, Charlotte Chapter of Hadassah Tu B’Shevat, the new year for the trees, one of four “new years” in the ancient agricultural cycle, is marked this year on January 22. In celebration of our natural world, Tu B’Shevat offers us a unique opportunity to examine our rela tionship with the environment. More than any other time in recent history, the holiday takes on added significance. There is one prevailing issue of current concern to governments and individuals alike that crosses borders, nations and cultures - global warming. The world is awakening to the realization that we are stewards of our world and our land. As Jews, we have always recognized and understood the biblical teachings between use and abuse of the envi ronment. According to our tradi tion, we have a covenant with God to fulfill certain responsibilities, and among them is an obligation to the land. It is articulated in the halakhic injunction, ba'al tash- chit, do not destroy - a general prohibition against needlessly Women’s Ne’ws The Maj Marathon is Back Date: January 27 Time: 12 noon-5 PM Location: Temple Beth El REGISTRATION STEPS: I) Fill out this form. 2) Mail it, by January 15, along with your check, to Madeline Aron, 4940 Hardison Road,-Charlo.te 28226. 3) Questions: Call Sandy Hoagland 704-543-6338.

The question today is, as it has been for centuries, how do we strike that balance between preser vation and domination? If you could change the world, where would you begin? ’* Recycle paper, cans, plastics, and glass every day. Change to the new fluores cent light bulb. They use 14 the electricity than conventional incandescent bulbs and last sever al years longer. * Consider a cloth bag for gro cery shopping. Do you know it can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade a polyethylene plastic bag in landfills that emit harmful green house gases? * Plant trees with the Jewish National Fund. Now consider your actions multiplied by hundreds of thou sands of individuals and you can imagine how each act can and will make a difference. Each of us can change the world for ourselves and for future generations because every day is Earth Day. ^ J AGES AND STAGES Women Health Information Come to Hadassah’s Annual Health Program, February 19, 7 PM, Temple Israel This year Hadassah’s annual Health Program will he called “Ages and Stages.” Topics will be of interest specifically to women, as women often neglect their own health needs in favor of their families.
