Jews throughout the world share in the righteous act of giving tzedakah at holiday times. The act of tzedakah (literally, creating justice in the world) is especially crucial during the auspicious time of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, when we are squaring all our accounts with God, ourselves, and others.

Trees, Water & People: Trees, Water, & People’s work is guided by two core beliefs, that natural resources are best protected when local people play an active role in their care and management, and that preserving local ecosystems is essential for the ongoing social, economic, and environmental health of communities everywhere. Their mission is to improve people’s lives by helping communities protect, conserve, and manage the natural resources upon which their long-term well-being depends. They work on indigenous lands in Colorado, New Mexico, and South Dakota, as well as in Central America, and recently partnered with local artists and young leaders of color in Fort Collins, where they are headquartered.

Arava Institute: At the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies, the idea that nature knows no borders is more than a belief. It is a fact, a curriculum, and a way of life.

It houses accredited academic programs with a student and internship body comprised of Jordanians, Palestinians, Israelis, and participants from around the world, in addition to research centers and international cooperation initiatives focusing on a range of environmental concerns and challenges.
