Dayenu Circles — small groups of people working on climate action — are a way for you to make powerful, positive change with a Jewish voice. Together with just a few friends or community members, you can join or create a Dayenu Circle.
Taking Down Goliath is our Jewish Climate Organizing Training for Dayenu Circle leaders, members, and prospective leaders ages 18-32. Check out or Taking Down Goliath page for more information on the program and up-to-date information on upcoming offerings.
Check out our library of resources, including Dayenu Principles, a sample meeting agenda for your next Circle meeting, and more. Dayenu Circle leaders also get access to our popular quarterly newsletter, the Dayenu Circular!
There are over 100 prospective or active Dayenu Circles across the United States and Canada. Check back as new Circles are added regularly. Don’t see your Circle listed? Email us at [email protected]
If you’re considering gathering with friends and neighbors to launch your own Circle, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll schedule time to talk!
