JFN has launched a series of guides aimed at supporting funders to optimize the impact of their giving. Called GREENBOOKS, they are written specifically for funders. Each guide focuses on a specific funding area in the Jewish community, outline issues, strategies and approaches funders can utilize as they seek to effect change. This one focuses on Jewish renewal in Israel.

Hitchadshut Yehudit (Jewish Renewal) refers to programs that offer Jewish Israelis opportunities for learning, cultural expression, identity exploration, spirituality and prayer, and social action. All are explicitly based on Jewish values, texts and traditions, and infused with pluralism and autonomy.
