In a Decisive Election, a Jewish Group Focuses on Climate Voters
The mood was jovial, but the volunteers were there to fight what many believed to be the biggest existential threat facing not just the Jewish community, but every walk of life on Earth: climate change.
The phone bank was organized by Dayenu, a nonprofit and nonpartisan group of Jewish Americans that is working to get climate-minded voters to the polls.
Dayenu is a song of thanksgiving sung at Passover, and means “it would have been enough” in Hebrew.
Rabbi Jennie Rosenn, the group’s founder and chief executive, said the name holds dual messages: “We’ve had enough” of the climate crisis, and “we have enough” to address it. The group, which says it has tens of thousands of members and social media followers, runs dozens of branches in synagogues, college campuses and other communities and is partnering with other climate and faith groups.
