Jewish Eco Village

Bay Area, California,

United States

It takes a village.... if there is one thing we have learned in this fast-paced crazy world we live in, it is that our past holds valuable insights to dealing with life's challenges. Rabbi Art Waskow wrote that we must consider our pre-modern lifestyles and traditions in creating our post-modern one. In other words we need to search our past traditions to help guide us in creating our future. The Cohousing and Eco-village networks are part of the post modern vision of creating meaningful, secure and sustainable communities.

Our vision is to establish a community based on sustainable environmental practices, cooperative communal living and Jewish learning and living. In other words, it takes a 'Jewish Eco Villag.'

We are in the beginning stages of the process, currently gathering interested parties and seeking a location in the Bay Area of Northern California. We are a multi-generational, multi denominational and family oriented group. Our community formation is an evolving process based on the unique individuals and sacred values we share.
