WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

A wise woman once said: excellent people discuss ideas, mediocore people discuss events, inferior people discuss other people. This blog will be devoted mostly to ideas that I teach and write about. Ocassionally I will throw in some travel, recipes, movie reviews or other quirky indulgences. Since the state of our world and efforts to mend it are never far from my consciousness, you will also find some "current events" features under "tikkun olam." Please feel free to add your comments. Definitions: Midlife--Too late to do anything really new; too late not to. Mussar- A traditional Jewish practice to cultivate ethical insomnia(thanks to Rabbi Stone) If you want to know more about the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College where I teach, check out www.rrc.edu

A just cup of coffee


Recently, a rabbi friend from California visited and brought with her a house gift--a pound of Mirembe Kawomera coffee beans. Before even tasting it, I knew this would be the one and only coffee served in my house from now on. When you read the story behind the coffee, you will understand why.(By the way, it also tasted great.)


Here is the story from the website of Thanksgiving Coffee, the company from whom I have ordered my supply(they now have my credit card on file.)


Mirembe Kawomera means "delicious peace" in the Ugandan language Luganda. It is the name of a Ugandan cooperative of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian coffee farmers.
. Mirembe Kawomera Coffee is Fair Trade Certified, guaranteeing the farmers a fair price for their coffee and supporting the 558 family farmers of the Mirembe Kawomera Cooperative. We encourage you to join us - together we can support peace and the beautiful example of the Mirembe Kawomera Cooperative.
Only from Thanksgiving Coffee Co.(www.thanksgivingcoffee.com) Mirembe Kawomera Coffee is not just a cup, but a just cup.

We included it in our Mishloach Manot baskets for the community in 2006 and hope to do so again in '07. They have individual 2 oz. packets.
