Vermatzah

“Why would anyone want to know about Eco-Kosher?” Because you’ll be the first on your block and it’s cool. Plus, it’s good for you, your family and the earth. Such a deal. “What is Eco-Kosher?” Eco-Kosher is a new and evolving concept combining common sense and compassion with a range of ancient Jewish teachings. Vermatzah is Eco – Kosher, connecting modern ecology with ancient dietary laws and ethical standards about food production, preparartion and eating. At Naga Bakehouse we understand Eco-Kosher to mean a broader sense of “good practice” in everyday life that draws on the deep well-springs of Jewish wisdom and tradition about the relationships between human beings and the earth. Every box of Vermatzah is handmade with organic Vermont Wheat grown under the best sustainable agricultural practices from the harvest to the baking.

The concept of Eco-Kosher food entered Jewish thought in the 1970’s. In a recent blog post for the Shalom Center, Rabbi Arthur Waskow discusses how this concept applies to food prepared using modern technologies, and how by “eco-kosher” we mean a broader sense of “good practice” in everyday life.
