Marketing and Communications Manager

Hazon is a national Jewish environmental organization that works to deeply weave sustainability into the fabric of Jewish life. Through our two retreat centers (Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center and Pearlstone Retreat Center), national and regional programming, and thought leadership, we connect people to the earth, to each other, and to Jewish tradition, in order to build thriving Jewish communities and a more sustainable future for all. Our work catalyzes culture change and systemic change across the Jewish world and beyond.
