Together, we can educate, engage, and mobilize the Jewish community to take climate action, move billions in Jewish
communal assets away from fossil fuels toward clean energy, and leverage our congregations’ and organizations’ power as
clients and customers to urge the largest banks to stop financing coal, oil, and gas.
A ROADMAP FOR CHANGE
Dayenu offers a roadmap for moving investments from fossil fuels to clean energy. The six-step process is designed to transform our institutions, congregations, and organizations, and raise a powerful voice for climate action. Each step is key to maximizing our collective impact.
ON JANUARY 19, WE HELD A KICKOFF CALL TO
INVITE JEWISH CONGREGATIONS AND GROUPS TO EMBARK ON THIS ROADMAP TOGETHER.
