“A Light Among the Nations” aka “How Many Jews Does It Take to Change a Light Bulb?"
Join the Coalition on Environment and Jewish Life (COEJL) national campaign and engage the Jewish community in awareness, advocacy, and action to conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This modern day commemoration of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, will most importantly, bring the issue of global climate change front and center in Jewish public life. To bring your home community or Hillel on board, contact Liore Milgrom-Elcott at climatechange@coejl.org.

Oxfam’s Fast for a World Harvest is one of the oldest and largest anti-hunger campaigns in the US. Involvement with the Fast is about working together to end global poverty. More than just a means of addressing hunger issues, the Fast has come to symbolize the grassroots nature of working with Oxfam America. Each year Oxfam supports thousands of organizations and individuals who organize Oxfam Hunger Banquets and other signature Fast events.
