This year, as we celebrate both Passover and Earth Day, we have a unique opportunity to consider Passover wisdom for living and acting in a time of climate crisis. We are delighted to offer this resource, designed by artist Rachel Jackson, for free and would love to hear how you use it!

WUICAN’s goals are to create a new model for co-governance and co-design of climate solutions that center the needs of impacted communities, build capacity for collaboration and decision-making across community-based organizations, universities, and land stewards, and develop community-driven policies and practices for land and water stewardship in the face of climate change.

WEISSMAN ARTS - BE THE CHANGE
APRIL 7 – JUNE 30
The Jewish Collaborative is excited to participate in Be the Change - an “artivism” initiative inspired by the Jewish tenet of justice as expressed through our ritual of giving tzedakah. This exhibit is about making space to talk about injustice and providing the necessary action steps to be agents of change in our local and global communities.

JCFOC Weissman Arts is pleased to collaborate with the Skirball Cultural Center by including many of the boxes from their recent mounting of Be the Change. Four new boxes are being commissioned for the Orange County community.
