February 2025 Fund in Focus: Dayenu Fund for Sustainability

We see the disastrous impact of excess greenhouse gases from the extremes of wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, floods, heat waves and habitat loss in the US and around the world. It can seem overwhelming, and many of us may feel helpless. But our Jewish tradition asks us to take action, individually and together as a community, to ensure a sustainable planet. What can we do now to make a difference?
The Dayenu Circle at Beth Am is working hard to take collective action to support our own greener campus (such as our upcoming solar panel installation) as well as to activate change beyond our doors (like calling voters about making environmentally conscious decisions).
If you are interested in helping to financially support climate change activism at Beth Am, please consider making a contribution to the Beth Am Dayenu Fund for Sustainability. If you want to learn more about sustainability efforts at Beth Am, please contact our Dayenu Circle leaders at dayenu@betham.org.
Funds like this keep our Beth Am programs going, so we encourage you to consider donating to the fund of your choice on your next special occasion.
If you would like information about how to create your own named fund, please betham.org/GIVE or contact Director of Development Mandy Eisner at meisner@betham.org or (650) 493-4661, ext. 211.
