The Union for Reform Judaism’s (URJ) Greene Family Camp (GFC) announced the establishment of the Isaac Mayer Wise Academy Eco-Village at GFC in Bruceville, Texas. One of the main benefits of the Wise Academy Eco-Village program is that it will educate and inspire the entire camp to become a macro eco village.

If I Am Only For Me… Thoughts on Forming Social Responsibility at Camp
on July 21, 2011
From the small things to the larger things, raising awareness is always a positive thing at any age. Three years ago, I learned that responsibility is not an inherent trait and that one instance of tragedy could open my eyes to a whole world of it, if only someone would help me see. That “someone” was the same “someone” that would listen to my problems and help me through them. That someone was the URJ. And through that kindness and trust I was finally ready to listen to and help others with their own problems. I’m glad to see that the legacy of kindness leading into responsibility is still continuing to grow today.
