But if I can be a part of it through the internet, then I'm definitely interested. Where can I buy the wool?Knitter of shiny thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10495339297497300925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30021719.post-67402885952554042572007-08-11T07:25:00.000-05:002007-08-11T07:25:00.000-05:00Greetings from a newcomer to the Jewish blogworld,...Greetings from a newcomer to the Jewish blogworld, and a Philadelphian who also shares an interest in knitting!<BR/><BR/>You might want to check out a recent essay by Rabbi Marc Rosenstein, "Plastic", in his August 1, 2007 "Galilee Diary" post for the URJ's "Israel Connections" series. I can forward a copy to you if you can't find a link (I can't seem to find it). Rosenstein's reflections address the transformation of kibbutz culture, with resonance for your trip to the Israeli yarnstore. <BR/><BR/>You may not have been able to find wool in Israel, but you can find Israeli wool here. Peace Fleece makes "Baghdad Blue" wool produced in collaboration with West Bank farmers (soon to be featured on my blog) - proceeds go to Neve Shalom, a very special intentional community of Israeli Jews and Palestinians living, learning and working cooperatively. I've started a group to knit for peace with this peace-inspiring wool - interested in working with us?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
