Ethical Living Guide

BBYO and UJS have teamed up to produce Ethical Living Guide which they hope will be a practical resource to help you identify certain things in your life which you do have control over and have the power to change.

As Rabbi Tarfon used to say: It is not upon you to complete the task, but you are not free to desist from it.

The guide provides many simple, practical ideas to help you make that little bit of a difference.

No wholesale changes are demanded; if everybody can be inspired to make small modifications here and there, the collective impact can be huge!

Fashion, food, the home, travel and shopping are covered and in addition to identifying issues within the topic, tick boxes suggest practical ways to make a difference. The guide also provides specific ways for youth groups & students to have an impact on their community and thereby change the world.
