New! Year of Jewish Policy Engagement
Canfei Nesharim is partnering with the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life, through our Jewcology project, in a 2014 Year of Engagement.
We will organize campaigns this year to help you make a difference on key environmental issues at the national and state level, get to know your elected representatives, and engage your community.
Jewish Holidays
Canfei Nesharim offers Torah teachings, activities and resources related to nearly every Jewish holiday. Whether to enrich your personal learning or to inspire your school and community, these resources can help you celebrate with an eye to environmental consciousness and Torah wisdom.
New! Uplifting People and Planet
Exciting news! Just in time for Tu b’Shevat, Canfei Nesharim and Jewcology are proud to announce the launch of a new ebook exploring traditional Jewish teachings on the environment, Uplifting People and Planet: Eighteen Essential Jewish Lessons on the Environment, edited by Rabbi Yonatan Neril and Evonne Marzouk.
This ebook is the most comprehensive study available in English of how Jewish traditional sources teach us to protect our natural resources and preserve the environment. From food to trees, energy to water, wealth to biodiversity, the book studies eighteen topics where Jewish tradition has a relevant lesson for today’s environmental challenges.
From Tu b’Shevat 5773 to 5773, Canfei Nesharim organized our Year of Jewish Action on the Environment, in partnership with Jewcology!
We focused on saving energy and reducing food waste, with practical actions suggested by the Jewish mitzvah of bal tashchit.
