Its aim is to ensure that, with attention to synagogue buildings and practices, Jewish communities can move towards a net zero carbon future.  This year, Eco Shabbat was timed to conicide with the COP26 summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was important for us to fully involve our Beiteinu students in our activities so our Garden Team planned a number of projects.   The children helped plant Spring bulbs in pots.  They also made their own seed pots from old newspaper, and planted wildflower seeds in each.  And they got stuck in with the garden tidying and weeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_003-2-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"8973\" data-link=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/?attachment_id=8973\" class=\"wp-image-8973\" srcset=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_003-2-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_003-2-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_003-2-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_003-2-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_003-2-450x450.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_003-2-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_003-2-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_004-1-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"8974\" data-link=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/?attachment_id=8974\" class=\"wp-image-8974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_004-1-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_004-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_004-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_004-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_004-1-450x450.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_004-1-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_004-1-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_009-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"8975\" data-link=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/?attachment_id=8975\" class=\"wp-image-8975\" srcset=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_009-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_009-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_009-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_009-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_009-450x450.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_009-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_009-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_010.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"8978\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_010.jpeg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/?attachment_id=8978\" class=\"wp-image-8978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_010.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_010-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_010-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/klsonline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/File_010-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In doing so, they learnt that seeds and bulbs need compost, water, sunlight &#8211; and patience!
