Join us for an in-person Climate Week gathering
We’ll focus on reducing risk and building resilience across New York’s Jewish communities.
Reducing Risk, Building Resilience: A Jewish Climate Action Agenda

Event Details
As rising heat, flooding, extreme weather, and infrastructure challenges shape daily life across the city, this event will explore how Jewish institutions can become trusted anchors of preparedness, connection, and care.
