Eco-Judaism: Ancient Teachings for a Sustainable Future

in

Taught by Rabbi Barrett
Wednesdays, January 29, March 5, March 19, April 16
7:00-8:15pm, in person and on Zoom

In the early chapters of the Torah, we learn that humans are called to “till and tend” the earth. This command resonates powerfully as we witness the profound changes affecting our planet today. Join us in exploring the Jewish imperative to protect the environment, enhancing our understanding of the Jewish relationship with the earth and our response to climate change from both religious and spiritual perspectives.

This course is structured in three sections: We will begin with a scriptural exploration, followed by an examination of the rabbinic period and the evolution of our holidays dedicated to the land. Finally, we will engage in a theological reflection on how to observe these holidays and maintain our faith in a time of dramatic change.
