DECEMBER - THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE
This Chanukah, join our Eco-Challenge to celebrate sustainably and honor our responsibility to the planet. Rooted in Jewish values like Bal Taschit (do not waste) and Shomrei Adamah (Guardians of the Earth), this challenge offers nightly actions to reduce waste, conserve resources, and create meaningful memories. From eco-friendly decorations to gifts with minimal environmental impact, each night brings a new opportunity to light up the holiday with care for the Earth and each other. Together, let’s make a difference.
