JTree is all about planting trees. It’s a positive, collective, international Jewish response to the Climate Crisis. A project in partnership with EcoSynagogue.
Since the 1930s, we’ve lost 97% of our wildflower meadows.
The numbers are devastating. But it’s not too late.
By protecting and restoring our precious grasslands, and supporting farmers to do the same, we can help #SaveOurWildIsles. 👉https://t.co/W1CC7ZVpPF 💚
Listen to Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg on BBC Sunday Morning Live panel discussing recent IPCC report on #climatecrisis.

"We could cut 40 to 70% of projected 2050 emissions with end-use measures"
The #Jewish#community can do more.

UN 2023 report by IPCC – ACT NOW!
The extent to which current and future generations will experience a hotter and different world depends on choices now and in the near-term.

"Overshooting will need expensive, unproven technology to pull CO2 from the air, something known as carbon capture". Yet NOW you can store carbon by planting and protecting forests and their ecosystems through JTree. https://t.co/vUPG00cd9n

Really great to attend a workshop today with @StudentForTrees and @WoodlandTrust on how and where to plant trees, taking into consideration the hotter summers in the UK and what we can do to ensure young saplings survive.

It was wonderful to see so many communities come together to hold Seder’s for Tu B’Shevat!
Afterwards, we held an interactive programme and a pre-recorded conversation with special guest

On Saturday, our Executive Director made a presentation at Congregation Etz Chayim synagogue in the North End. It was in advance of the Tu B’Shevat holiday, considered the birthday of all trees regardless of what time of year they have been planted! https://t.co/XAXHSmMwEq
Sunday I'll be planting a tree at West London Synagogue for Tu B'shevat - The new year of the trees!
Shortly after, I'll be in conversation with Rabbi Helen discussing "A Green Future?"
Details of how to get involved here 👇🏽
Lovely to see so many people across the generations enjoying our Tu B’Shevat Seder! 🍷 🍓 🍏

Good to catch up with people over lunch too!
Happy #tubishvat! Delighted to celebrate the trees, our environment and our amazing EHRS volunteers this morning at our tubishvat seder- may they continue to plant seeds whose fruit they may see, and they may not!
Brilliant day meeting voters in Golders followed by tree planting and roasted marshmallows in East Finchley, @N2Barnwood with @anne_clarke to celebrate Tu Bishvat - the birthday of the trees 🌳. What a gem of an open space!

Trees are miraculous, many lasting hundreds of years as they capture carbon in the atmosphere that is endangering us all. These are the miracles we want to embrace this Chanukah. Please plant some trees as gifts this Chanukah!
