Aytzim: Ecological Judaism — Green Zionist Alliance: The Grassroots
Campaign for a Sustainable Israel
Aytzim (meaning "trees" in Hebrew) is a New York-based secular,
progressive and pluralistic Jewish environmental organization that is
a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) tax-deductible nonprofit charity,
incorporated as the Green Zionist Alliance. Aytzim has three projects:
(1) Green Zionist Alliance: The Grassroots Campaign for a Sustainable
Israel. The Green Zionist Alliance works to protect and educate about
the environment of Israel and the Middle East. (2) Jewcology: Home of
the Jewish Environmental Movement. With more than 1000 blog posts,
pedagogical materials, a job board, and an interactive map of
Jewish-environmental initiatives, Jewcology.org is the largest online
resource for information on Jewish environmentalism. (3) Shomrei
Breishit: Rabbis and Cantors for the Earth. More than 100 Jewish
clergy, including chief rabbis from around the world, have joined this
environmental-advocacy group that Aytzim runs in partnership with
GreenFaith.
