The goal is to elect climate champions at the local, state and federal levels who have the chutzpah to deliver urgent action on climate at the scale that science and justice demand. Dayenu provides a full menu of actions that voters in every state can take in the months leading up to the 2024 election.
NOW, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to work!
Sign up NOW to attend three phonebanking shifts in the next weeks! There will be two or more shifts a week until Election Day.
Click on the links below to join phone banking shifts between now and the election:
Wondering if phonebanking is for you? You don’t need any experience to join a shift – and it’s fun. We gather on Zoom, introduce ourselves, hear a kavanah (short teaching and words of intention), then train folks who are new to the dialing system – and start calling. We close out by sharing highlights from our calls, and enjoying a little live music. It feels good to do this work Jewishly, nourished by our ancestral wisdom and connected with each other.

When you think about biblical women, what images and words come to mind? Temptress? Victim? Women subjugated by husbands or fathers? Close textual reading reveals that these stereotypes are incongruous with the actual lived experiences of female characters in TaNaKh. In this course we will gain some new insights into the extraordinary women that populate the pages of our Holy Scriptures.
