Through a growing network of Dayenu Circles across the country, we’re gathering, training, and taking action to advance bold solutions to the climate crisis. Grassroots leadership is the engine that drives our work. Some of us are simply seeking meaningful ways to act. Some of us draw strength from Jewish teachings and our spiritual roots. We are long time climate activists, and we are people increasingly concerned and wondering what we can do about the climate crisis. We are professionals, and we are students. Dayenu is building a dynamic, multi-generational movement of American Jews courageously confronting the climate crisis.
