Environmental Sustainability

Implementing environmentally sustainable practices in your congregation can achieve two goals: fulfilling the Jewish imperative of Yishuv Ha’Olam (preserving a habitable world) and saving your congregation money. In other words, what’s good for the planet is good for your budget! USCJ and its partners offer resources to help you achieve both goals.

We now have a place where Conservative/Masorti environmental sustainability lives on the internet! You can find our new Climate and Environment section on the Exploring Judaism website which presents Jewish perspectives on the environment and sustainability.
