In this week’s episode of Ḥoni’s Circle we study a text from Mishneh Torah, a halachic tract by the Rambam, about the sacrifice of wood and the customs surrounding it. We imagine the practice of having a rotation of families bringing the wood that would be used on the altar in the temple, and how the practice might have emphasized the joy of volunteerism, facilitated an appreciation and respect for fuel, had a built-in system to stem burnout, and may have been based on sustainable forestry. All inspirations for our fight against climate change. Follow along with the source sheet here:https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/528697
