Hazon is building a movement that strengthens Jewish life and contributes to a more environmentally sustainable world for all. We offer a diverse range of programs and tools that enable communities and individuals to achieve their goals of leading more sustainably. At Hazon we believe in two fundamental truths: We are in a global climate crisis and Jewish tradition compels us to respond.
Here are a just a few of our programs and resources
Jewish Climate Leadership Coalition
Jewish Climate Leadership Coalition The Jewish Climate Leadership Coalition is a network of Jewish community organizations who recognize the existential threat and moral urgency of climate change and commit to taking action. Coalition members develop Climate Action Plans that outline the strategic priorities of your organization’s climate work by detailing actions taken to-date and setting goals for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the coming year.
Jewish Youth Climate Movement
The Jewish Youth Climate Movement (JYCM) was founded by Hazon in 2020, and is dedicated to mitigating climate change by empowering teens, mobilizing communities, and taking action. JYCM believes in using Jewish values as a motivation to create a more equitable and sustainable world for all.
Shmita Project
Since 2007, the Shmita Project has aimed to elevate the teachings and wisdom of the Jewish calendar by exploring the relevance of the shmita (sabbatical) year in a modern context. This year, the Shmita Prizes will award artists from all levels of experience and age groups for works of art that bring into focus the relevancy and application of shmita values in our contemporary world – offering creative avenues to engage with the shmita year.
Rabbinical Council
The Hazon Rabbinical Council is a mutually beneficial and supportive avenue for Hazon to help catalyze a broad spectrum of religious leaders to use Hazon as a portal for education, action and advocacy, helping them be stronger leaders in areas of environmental sustainability and the Jewish tradition which compels us to action.
