<p>Jewish is going greenish.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a phenomenon I like to call Oy-Soy, the marriage of ethical Jewish values with eco alternatives &#8211; everything from the artifacts that help color our heritage to a back-to-nature approach to living more sustainably.</p>
<p>I guess it&#8217;s all in line with the goals of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikkun_Olam"><em>tikkun olam</em></a>, the repairing of the world, which we Jews perform in a variety of ways, from donating to our communities with charity and acts of kindness to taking stock in our resources.</p>
<p>Is being green a blessing? Try these out and see:</p>
<p><strong>Recycled Ketubah</strong></p>
<p>The wedding contract, called a <a href="http://www.ketubahstore.com/">Ketubah</a>, often emerges as a gorgeous work of art which couples frame and hang on their walls. This exquisite design on handmade recycled paper features pressed wild flowers and ferns, along with embossed plants for a touch of the early garden. $195.00 from <a href="http://www.ahuva.com/prod-Eco___Large_Ketubah_26_in_x_20_in_-344.aspx?">Ahuva</a> (shown above).</p>
<p><strong>Eco-suede and Fair Trade Kippots</strong></p>
<p>For greener coverage, try a golden kippot made of eco suede, the friendly vegan alternative to a suede-leather. These yarmulkes are made of recycled cardboard. $2.50 each from <a href="http://http://www.a-zara.com/pe--191-19100-5711.htm">A-Zara</a>. Or, opt for colorful crocheted, fair trade head coverings made by sixty Maya artisans working in the Guatemalan highlands. With the purchase of the woven caps, you are dong a mitzvot by helping women artisans earn a steady income for their families. $16 each at the <a href="http://www.globalexchangestore.org/Kippot-br-Jewish-headcoverings-p/gu4224.htm">Globale Exchange Store</a>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21506" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fair-trade-kippot3.gif" alt="fair trade kippot" width="178" height="178" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21505" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/gold-kippot.jpg" alt="gold kippot" width="174" height="176" /></p>
<p><strong>Fair Trade Challah Cover</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: black;">Bring some exotic Boho flair to your Shabbat table by covering your  organic holiday bread in this handwoven, fiesta blue cloth embellished with a bright colored star and borders. 15&#8243; x 20&#8243;. 100% cotton. </span><span style="color: black;">$38 at <a href="http://www.artistor.com/store/Challah-Cover-Multi-Color-Star-of-David.html">Artistor</a>.<br />
</span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21514" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Challa_CoverBrightColorsLar.jpg" alt="Challa_CoverBrightColorsLar" width="337" height="302" /></p>
<p><strong>Guilt-Free Organic Nosh<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Nosh like an eco fresser with the organic bagels from <a href="http://www.rudisbakery.com/ViewProductDetails/reqID--109532">Rudi&#8217;s Bakery</a> (multigrain, honey wheat, white and cinnamon raisin); <a href="http://www.nancysyogurt.com/nancys_products/cream_cheese.php">Nancy&#8217;s</a> organic cream cheese (thick like you mean it); top with <a href="http://www.vitalchoice.com/product/smoked-salmon-lox/cold-smoked-sockeye-salmon-nova-lox/cold-smoked-sliced-nova-lox-4-oz">Vital Choice</a> kosher, wild sockeye salmon Nova Lox. Head to your local farmer&#8217;s market for the tomato and onion and gorge without guilt!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21523" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Multi-bagel-large.JPG" alt="Multi bagel large" width="171" height="256" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21525" src="http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cream_cheese_group.jpg" alt="cream_cheese_group" width="206" height="119" /></p>
<p><strong>Organic Kosher Wine</strong></p>
<p>Such a blessing, the organic fruit of the vine, like Hafner Queen Esther Reserve Pinot Noir &#8217;04, which is produced under the strict supervision of Rabbi A.Y. Schwartz in Vienna. $11.08 for a bottle at <a href="http://wwws.onlinekosherwine.com/product_info.php?products_id=1964">Online Kosher Wine</a>. Or open a bottle of  the<span> Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve</span>, $29, made of grapes selected from <span>vineyards in California&#8217;s Central Coast areas of San Luis Obispo and Edna Valley and the northern coastal areas of Sonoma. </span></p>
