Decade of Success

Imagine a sustainable future for Israel. At the Heschel Center we dare to imagine - but we don't stop there. We imagine how this vision becomes real and we bring together the people who are working to make it so. We are imagining the future - one based on the best of the past and the potential of the present - and we invite you to join us in creating it. Help us help Israel achieve sustainability Join the Heschel Center's Decade of Success Campaign This is a remarkable and probably pivotal moment in our efforts to create a sustainable future for Israel - on the one hand, there appears to be a window of opportunity to create substantive change, on the other hand the social-environmental threats and challenges have never appeared so critical. The obvious fear is that if this window closes before we rise to the moment and make significant advances, the current threats will become irreversible, cause significant, long-term harm and create an unliveable society for our children. As we embark on our tenth year of activity (!!!), we ourselves are often astounded by the breadth and depth of our projects and the ever-widening ripples of change they stimulate: mayors deciding to turn their towns and cities into models of sustainability; a group of school children (one example from over 150 schools) leading the municipality to divert coastal development and instead declare a nature reserve which the children themselves help run - and dozens of other initiatives ranging from practical ecology models (such as town-wide composting, or energy efficiency tools) and community development, through to political activity (co-chair of the Knesset environmental caucus, members and candidates for local councils).
