About [Edit]
The Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life was founded in 1993 to promote environmental education, scholarship, advocacy, and action in the American Jewish community. COEJL is sponsored by a broad coalition of national Jewish organizations and has organized regional affiliates in communities across North America. COEJL is the Jewish member of the National Religious Partnership for the Environment.
Mission Statement: "The Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life [COEJL] deepens the Jewish community’s commitment to the stewardship of creation and mobilizes the resources of Jewish life and learning to protect the Earth and all its inhabitants."
To advance our mission, COEJL:
- partners with the full spectrum of national Jewish organizations to integrate Jewish values of environmental stewardship into Jewish life;
- works with synagogues and other local Jewish organizations to bring Jewish environmental education, ecologically-conscious Jewish observance, and opportunities for environmental action to Jewish families and individuals;
- supports rabbis, educators, and Jewish scholars to develop and distribute materials that express diverse Jewish perspectives on environmental issues;
- brings a Jewish vision and voice to issues of environmental justice and sustainability, and advocates on behalf of the Jewish community;
- activates Jewish institutions, local COEJL programs, and individuals [both affiliated with organized Judaism and unaffiliated] in support of environmental protection efforts; and
- participates in inter-religious and civic coalitions to protect the environment, public health, and our common future.
