Hi, everybody. My name is Noah Phillips. I work for Moment and I wanted to announce that we are going to be starting a new farm project about Jewish farms in in, in in the past, present and future. Joined by a couple of friends who are Jewish farmers. And we're going to talk about Jewish farms in the lead up to a couple of stories that we're going to release around Tuba Spot in mid January, where we're going to publish some articles
Hello, everybody at the Swell Family. My name is Danielle Gartenberg. I use any pronouns, and I am a recent alum of the Urban Automa Fellowship, and now I am currently living the farm as a resident, and I am super excited to continue the conversation about Jewish farming, and I'm excited to share about some of my experiences. Yeah

Danny and Lucy, welcome to you both to Swell and to the Jewish Farms. Swell Cast. You both mentioned the Urban Idaho Fellowship. What is that? And also Lucy, what is Schmidt? Anyway, I'm writing an article about Shmita, but I still don't know
Nonviolent communication training is also a big component of the fellowship, and everything we do on the Fellowship relates to the Urban Automas, the four pillars of its mission statement, which are sustainable agriculture, mindfulness, social action and Jewish practice. Another big component of the Urban Automa Fellowship is thinking about what it means to be an Earth based Jew. How can we think about what it means to be a Jew on land today as that relates to Indigenous sovereignty and land sovereignty

And then with the social action component, which I'm also very passionate about, it was just kind of like the perfect fit, and it ended up being amazing and exceeded all of my expectations

Okay, Danny and Lucy and anyone else who is listening. I have a Jewish farming question for you. Yesterday, I was working on the compost here on the farm that I live in. We have a big compost pile, and we were putting on a new layer of Greens and a new layer of Browns. And the Browns were some chicken muckings, some straw that chickens had been doing their business in, and it had rained in the wheelbarrow that the muggings have been stored in
No, what a great question. So a couple of things are coming to mind for me. One is that there is a blessing for something that is ugly. And the blessing is sort of of like, thank you, God, for making things as they are, which I Super love. And there is also a blessing, you see, for thanking God for all of its creations. And I'm wondering if I about a blessing for the compost

Hello, everybody. I'm just getting the hang of the still of the swell and how to record my message. But this sounds so amazing. That Adam my fellowship. I'd love to find out a little bit more about it, if it's offered to everybody and how we go about about finding out about it. I'm teaching an environmental Jewish education block to some elementary kids coming up soon. And I teach children gardening. So I really want to learn from you
