Social Action Committee
The current BIJC Social Action Committee formed in 2020 as an outgrowth of an adult education class on Social Justice led by Rabbi Ted Feldman. Every month the Social Action Committee will focus on a project in which BIJC members may participate. For information please email socialaction@bnaiisrael.net.

Petaluma is applying to be one of three California cities selected to pioneer the Cool City Challenge, a community-based “moonshot” effort to meet the threat of climate catastrophe If selected, the city will receive a $1,000,000 grant to help meet the goal, already set out under Petaluma’s Climate Action Plan, to achieve carbon-neutrality by 2030.
