Long Ago, the Sea Saved Our Ancestors...
Isn't it Time We Return the Favor?

We heard your requests for more than one international cleanup a year. 

Introducing: Bedikat HaMayim - the new Jewish ritual to fulfill the Mitzvah of Bal Tashchit before Passover.
 

Why Pesach? Because Pesach is a time when we clean our homes and remove Chametz.

The Earth is also our home, and 70% of it is covered with water.

So, let's remove a different type of "Chametz" from the water:

plastic snack bags and bottles that contained Chametz, plastic cutlery that served Chametz

and plastic bags that carried Chametz. Let's get rid of it all!

 

The global participation in the Reverse Tashlich has been excellent and continues to grow,

but once a year won't turn awareness into action.

​

The goal of this second global cleanup is to keep the many issues facing water and the marine environment

in front of the Jewish community, and to provide additional opportunities to take action.

​
Incorporating Bedikat HaMayim into Jewish life allows individuals to connect their spiritual and ethical values

with environmental stewardship, while being part of a global movement.

Join us to foster a deeper sense of connectedness with the natural world, the global Jewish community,

and promote positive change.
