About Us
The Big Green Jewish Website is a resource for people around the world and the home of the climate change campaign of the UK Jewish community. It is an initiative of the Jewish Social Action Forum, a body of organisations in the UK Jewish community that, collectively, are committed to raising awareness of issues of universal concern.
The website is designed for you, whether you are a teacher in a Jewish day school that wants to educate your pupils about environmental sustainability, an individual that wants to live a more green friendly life-style, or a rabbi seeking to implement green and Jewish values in your community.
On the website you will be able to find out not just how you can tell global leaders that you want a fair and just deal at the Copenhagen Climate Talks this December, but where you can learn to ride a bike if you want to make the transition from a driver to a cyclist, or how you can grow your own food for a more seasonal and sustainable lifestyle.
Over the coming weeks and months the website will continue to grow with new sections being added, and old ones being updated. If you have any suggestions click here to contact us.
History
The Big Green Jewish Website was founded in 2006 as a joint venture by The Noah Project and ESIAG (Environmental and Social Issues Action Group) at The Board of Deputies of British Jews.
This website was redeveloped and launched in November 2009. The Jewish Social Action Forum would like to thank The Noah project and ESIAG for their support and assistance with moving the Jewish Climate Change Campaign forward.
