Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

A Jewish nonprofit is working to get climate-minded voters to turn out, putting aside divisions over the war in Gaza that are roiling Jewish communities across the country. Dayenu, a nonpartisan group that claims tens of thousands of members and social media followers, and has dozens of branches in synagogues, helped persuade the country’s largest Jewish denomination, the Union of Reform Judaism, to divest from fossil fuels. It has also lobbied for federal clean-energy efforts. Its founder, Rabbi Jennie Rosenn, calls this an existential moment for the climate, and that urgency keeps volunteers with starkly different views of the war working alongside one another.
