The Face of Recycling in the Jewish World

Since first helping launch a student-run recycling initiative in the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel, there has been tremendous momentum that has led ReJews throughout its growth. Envisioning, and pledging itself to help create, a Jewish world where environmentalism, namely recycling, becomes more of a recognized and proud value of Judaism. Throughout schools, synagogues, community centers, restaurants, and business offices, as a 501c3 nonprofit recycling organization that promotes environmental action initiatives was first about the helping Jews around the world, and, as cited by founder Henry Goodelman in a recent tweet, now, "ReJews helps the world."

To help share the important message of Jewish environmentalism, tikkun olam, and bal tashchis, this blog will serve as a new medium to spread the ReJews brand voice, and help provide deeper insight into much of the important background that supports the mission of going green in the Jewish world!
