This has enabled us to work together with many bodies, collaborating and leading inter-organizational processes.<\/p><p>Our ability to create a dialogue, to convene various institutions, and to build collaborations, was expressed in a networking tool created by the center: the annual &#8220;Maof&#8221; conferences held by the Center since its inception.<\/p><p>Each &#8220;Maof&#8221; conference was an attempt to bring to the table different players who usually do not sit with each other. The first conference, in 1999, brought together, for the first time, representatives of various organizations in the broad environmental field that had simply never convened before. This conference outlined the path of the environmental movement for years to come.<\/p><p>Each year, the conference focused on the needs and agenda of a different target audience. These included: the heads of environmental organizations and movement, Green Now &#8211; local election activists (there were two conferences with this emphasis), food, environmental and social organizations, Galilee and Northern activists, community workers and activists. Most recently, the 2016 Maof Climate Conference, with over a hundred participants, was held with the express goal of initiating the Israeli climate movement (see below).<\/p><p>These conferences, together with the publications and the development of leadership in frameworks like the fellowship program, have positioned the Heschel Center as the leading body in terms of framing, spreading and implementing new ideas, and of building conceptual and practical tools for the entire social-environmental movement.<\/p><p>The climate conference created a significant resonance in the environmental movement, which started the climate movement in Israel and gave birth to initiatives in the field that are still developing and taking shape.<\/p><p>Both independently and within the framework of the umbrella organization of the environmental movement &#8220;Life and Environment&#8221; [E1], we have been very active in crafting the movement\u2019s policy, and in establishing the coalition of movements &#8220;Paths to Sustainability&#8221; [E2]. This Coalition was the civil society\u2019s representative to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Climate, and was responsible for producing shadow reports to analyze and critique government policy in these areas.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
