Thank you to Congregation Beth Am Israel for co-sponsoring the Jewish Earth Alliance Tisha B’av Virtual Lobby Day for Climate Solutions. You are all so appreciated!
With your help we were able to empower 200 Jews across the country to raise a strong voice for policies to protect people and all life, and heal our sacred Earth. Together we met with 27 Senate offices, with some meetings still to take place in the weeks ahead.
One particular meeting reinforced our belief that our efforts are critical to strengthening democracy – a key part of reversing the climate crisis. The team from Indiana was scheduled to attend a public virtual coffee with the Senator. Believe it or not, NO ONE ELSE SHOWED UP! Our Jewish volunteers had a private heart to heart discussion with the Senator. You can read more about the Lobby Day in this post: Jews Rise Up for Temple Earth on Tisha B’av.
We welcome your feedback on working with us, and are especially eager to know if you have heard from your members who participated.
Wishing you a Shana Tova – for you personally, your organization, and for all of humanity as we work for a healthy, safe and just world.
Sincerely,
Mirele Goldsmith and Rabbi Devorah Lynn
Co-chairpersons, Jewish Earth Alliance
