Dayenu: A Jewish Call to Climate Action

Election season can be overwhelming and exhausting. So what do we do to sustain ourselves post election? The Friday after Election Day, Nov. 6, we will gather for Dayenu’s post-election Song & Solidarity event to sing, connect, and catch our breath. Get your free tickets: dayenu.org/song-gathering

"There was a time when we could have been forgiven for not being sure how to respond to the future disruptions of climate breakdown. But now we know.

The thing about bringing an iced coffee to a job interview is that 2026 was the hottest summer on record. And the coolest of the rest of our lives.
