There is no time to wait! Unprecedented wildfires in California, hurricanes on the eastern seaboard and ferocious tornados throughout the midwest are crying out for humanity to make environmental stewardship a priority in every aspect of our lives. Please join Dayenu Orange County and the Jewish Collaborative for this empowering experience.
Responding to the climate crisis requires new forms of imagination, particularly in a time of increased drought and wildfires - especially in Southern California. In this third event in a series featuring the four elements (Water, Air, Fire, and Earth), please join us for an interfaith exploration of fire with a focus on Indigenous approaches to fire stewardship. Learn about wildfire prevention and recovery. Join together in collective learning and healing, and find out what you can do to make a difference.

This question in 2025 has deep personal and political consequences with roots in ancient Jewish debates.
