Beach cleanup at the Yarkon River estuary!

A beautiful winter day at the Yarkon River

Yesterday Zalul was joined by members of Beit Simchat Torah from New York City at the Yarkon River in Tel Aviv for a beach cleanup. It was a gorgeous day and the participants enthusiasm made it even better! In less than an hour the banks of the Yarkon River looked much MUCH cleaner.

Thank you everyone for a great afternoon and for being so willing to get your hands dirty in the name of clean beaches and rivers!

As one of your New Years resolutions we recommend a more “sustainable and greener lifestyle.”  Rosh Hashanah is a holiday that celebrates renewal as we prepare ourselves to repent for our sins.  The least we can do to begin this new cycle is to make one small green change.  For example, buy organic or local apples and honey to make the New Year sweet for you and the Environment.
