Jewish Environmental Initiative, a committee of the JCRC of Saint Louis

To educate the Saint Louis Jewish community about the connection between Judaism and the environment and to help Green the Jewish community in terms of its practices. We also collaborate with other environmental organizations on projects,initiatives and advocacy.

We run a monthly environmental blog, Planet JewishWe hold an event annually called “Project Noah: A week for the environment” in which we send resources to all area Jewish organizations urging them to incorporate the environment into their sermons or activities or ed programs the week that Parsha Noah is read–AND we hold a community event that week as well. We have an active teen group that does presentations and runs a native plant sale/rain barrel raffle every year.
