Judaism & Environment
Pioneering environmental programs for Judaism  view “green as a Jewish color,” and promote environmental values rooted in a Jewish tradition. We believe that our rich collective Jewish history unequivocally emphasizes stewardship, responsibility and sustainability as core concepts guiding the ideal human relationship to the natural world.
Shomera programs in this area present environmental issues through a Jewish lens, and use Jewish sources within Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox communities to raise awareness to environmental challenges.

Shomera:
Created curricula for schools
Trained teachers from ultra-orthodox schools
Encouraged Jewish scholars to research, develop and teach Jewish environmental source  material and provides a public forum where these materials can be accessed by students, scholars and the general public.
Initiated an annual essay contest on the topic of Judaism and the environment. 
Developed the first ultra-orthodox environmental ‘kolel’, run by Rabbi Smadga
Produced and published articles and books about Judaism and the environment
Organized the first Judaism and Environment Conference in the Knesset in 2002
