Shabbat Surfing: Jewish Disaster Preparedness Kit

DC is braced for the biggest hurricane in decades on the heels of a bizarre earthquake, and we’re all scurrying around like crazy, stocking up on water, batteries and canned goods.

Are you ready? Let our Jewish disaster preparedness kit help you get everything in order.

• You should really go to Ready.gov and make sure you’re prepared. No joke. It’s a mitzvah.
• Extreme weather bring out your God-fearing side? Try these blessings for thunder and lightning.
• What if the hurricane starts on Shabbat? Check out these Shabbat Protocols in Case of a Hurricane.
• Worried that the environment is finally starting to fight back? Visit Jewcology and learn how to be a Jewish environmental activist.
• Finally, call your mother. She worries about you.

Please stay safe and dry this weekend!
