About Us

Since 2004, EcoJews has been a Jewish environmental resource and events hub in the San Francisco Bay Area. We host fun and educational public programs, publish a regional community events calendar and partner with the many organizations in the Bay Area that share our values.

We are excited to introduce the EcoJews TREES Initiative: Torah Repairing the Environment and Educating Stewards. The goal of TREES is to empower Jewish organizations to go green(er), and the entire community is invited to participate! Through workshops and online resources, we will provide the tools to help JCCs, synagogues, Jewish day schools and other organizations work towards environmental sustainability.
