Fair Trade Judaica (FTJ) began in 2008, to introduce the Jewish community to the world of fair trade, and make the link that fair trade principles reflect Jewish social justice values.

Some of our recent accomplishments include:

• Designed the first fair trade tallit with Maya Works, which is woven by fair trade artists in Guatemala
• Worked with a variety of other fair trade businesses to create new Judaica products, like paper cut banners, Star of David pendants, and more
• Partnered with African Home, a fair trade organization in South Africa, bringing their creative and beautiful Judaica products to the US for the first time
• Worked with the fair trade movement to bring more Judaica products into their stores

Please join us for the 1st ever Fair Trade Judaica Fair on October 17 in Berkeley! For more information, click here.

WATCH FOR OUR NEW LOOK AND UPGRADED WEBSITE THIS OCTOBER!

This website has been developed to:

	Provide information about the fair trade movement and how to identify fair trade products
	Make the connection between fair trade and Jewish values
	Give you a direct link to businesses which sell fair trade Judaica products
	Encourage each of us to consider purchasing fair trade products whenever they are available.

We have the unique opportunity to demonstrate Jewish values when we choose to buy products that are made available through fair trade avenues.

Please join us in this effort to create a Fair Trade Judaica movement.

Fair Trade Judaica is a project of Community Partners/JumpStart.
Fair Trade Judaica is a beneficiary of UpStart Bay Area.
