The award, presented by Temple Israel Heritage chairperson Reeva Forman, was given during a service conducted by Rabbi David Benjamin from Israel.
After the service, Grace Green from Greenworks and Shezi planted trees outside the shul. Green also donated three spekboom (a drought-tolerant South African plant which is a phenomenal carbon sponge with excellent soil binding properties).
