Climate Divrei Torah
The CAC hosts climate action Shabbats at least twice a year, beginning with an Earth Day Shabbat in April, 2022. In addition, the Shomerei Ha'Adamah Circle meetings each include a short D’var Torah. Click here to see a sampling of these teachings.
CAC Tip of the Month
The CAC publishes a climate action tip of the month that coincides with the Jewish calendar. Click here for the tip of the month for Elul.

Placards and Other Resources
Each CAC-sponsored Shabbat has placards that are intended to educate and spark conversation. A sampling of the placards is coming soon.
In addition, you can find Shomerei Ha'Adamah Dayenu Circle resources and programming coming soon.
Upcoming Events
The next Shomrei Ha'Adamah Dayenu Circle will take place via zoom on Thursday, November 9th from 8 to 9 pm. During this meeting we will be preparing for the next Dayenu campaign "A Time to Build: Climate, Jobs and Justice." As always, we will ground ourselves in Torah, expand our understanding of climate issues and take action in real time. Feel free to log on while you're cooking for Shabbat!
