Beth El Green Challenge!
2020-04-24 13:00 - 2020-12-31 17:00
Congregation Beth El’s goal is that 1/2 of our families take at least one action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our efforts to address climate risks. Working with JCAN, we offer families lots of great options, and know each household can do at least one thing that makes a difference. Let’s be the first congregation to meet this challenge in Massachusetts!
