Population Growth Slows in Judea and Samaria
Population growth in Judea and Samaria continued a 10-year
decline in 2018, JNS.org reported, citing data from the Council
of Jewish Communities in Judea and Samaria.

The 2018 population growth was 3 percent in 2018, compared
to 3.4 percent a year earlier and 3.9 percent in 2016. There were
12,964 new residents in 2018, compared to 14,299 in 2017.

Settlement leaders attributed the decline to the government not
building enough new settlement homes. The Jewish growth rate in
Judea and Samaria began dropping in 2009 when Israel agreed to
President Barack Obama’s demand to freeze construction. A year
earlier, population growth reached an all-time high of 5.6 percent.

At the end of 2018, there were 448,672 Jewish residents of
Judea and Samaria. l

However you choose to celebrate, chag sameach.
We can all take small steps in our daily
lives towards a greener world. Here are a
few ways you can join with community to
be a little greener this Tu B’Shevat:

1. Attend the Jewish Farm School seder.
A seder not on Passover? Yes, indeed:

Tu B’Shevat seders are an old tradi-
tion now making a comeback among
the ecologically-minded. Our Jewish
Federation-supported Jewish Farm School
is co-hosting one such seder with Kol
Tzedek synagogue on Jan. 31. Registration
is required at kol-tzedek.org/tu-bshevat-
2018.html for this intimate discussion
about climate change and climate justice.

2. Conduct your own seder with Hazon’s
Free Haggadah.
Our Hungry for Change food confer-

ence partner Hazon — the “Jewish lab
for sustainability” — has compiled a
thoughtful, creative and free downloadable
Haggadah for Tu B’Shevat. Updated for
2019, it encourages us to examine our rela-
tionships with food, Israel, trees and the
wider world, including a social justice com-
ponent in honor of MLK Day. To download
