Heschel Center for Environmental Learning and Leadership

The Heschel Center is the foremost organization promoting environmental sustainability in Israel.

The organization engages leading individuals from across Israeli society to develop an innovative vision of an ecologically and socially sustainable future for the country through a variety of initiatives.

Natan's 2007-8 grant is supporting the launch of a new initiative, "Capacity Building for Sustainable Local Economies," which will train young leaders, local governments and residents of Israel's disadvantaged periphery to create businesses and projects that will enhance the particular social and natural resources of their communities.
