These are the Jewish environmentalists who were letting the world's leaders know they are concerned about climate change at the G20 demonstrations today in the City of London.
They did this by 'swooping' on to Bishopsgate, along with the rest of the Climate Camp gang - and me - erecting tents there and generally doing what Jews do best - having a sosh.
There was no brick throwing, no altercations with police, no invasion of The Carbon Exchange, the office outside which our little revolution took place.
That was all going on outside the bank of England where the real rioters and anarchists were camped. Instead we were being entertained by drumming circles, cyclists generating bubbles from a pedal-generated machine and solar powered stereos.
Dan Glass, 25, who has a postgraduate degree in climate change from Strathclyde University, is a seasoned activist who is also involved in campaign group Plane Stupid. Last year he made the headlines after superglue-ing his hand to Gordon Brown’s sleeve at a Downing Street reception.
The affable and highly articulate lad grew up in leafy Barnet and was schooled at Sussex University, Woodhouse Sixth Form College and Queen Elizabeth’s boy’s school. He pointed out his corporate lawyer father’s offices under which we were demonstrating.
But his parents are proud of his choices. “My mum and dad are increasingly supportive now which is great," he said. "They were worried and concerned as the issue of climate change is becoming more high profile. They understand my concerns. They understand the point of standing up to adversity. But they’re definitely not asking me to do this"
Tilly Gifford, 24, a social worker originally from France and now living in Glasgow, believes her ancestor’s holocaust history is a strong reason to stand up against the establishment today.
“The way that concentration camps were accepted and tolerated, for me that is a really strong lesson,” she says. “In the same way the government not taking action on climate change is just as destructive.”
Rachel and Sam Solnick, 22 and 24, who grew up in south London, say their interest in campaigning was motivated by their parents and admit that there is a Jewish history of activism citing Jacques Derrida as a role model.
OK, so no one in the group stormed the barricades or got arrested, but in the long tradition of white, educated, middle class activists, they made their point peacefully. Their mothers would be proud.
