Join Rabbi Nina Cardin as she leads a virtual discussion on her new book, “To Forever Inhabit This Earth; An Ethic of Enoughness” on Monday November 10th at 7pm.
Some of the key topics Rabbi Nina will discuss from her book include:
– How human beings need to redefine their relationship to the earth if the consequences of man made global warming are to be reversed
– How the wisdom found in our Jewish texts obligates us to the mitzvah of Yishuv Ha’Olam (Habilitability of the World)
– A new paradigm for reading Genesis; Genesis 1 – an Ethic of Survivability vs. Genesis 2 – an Ethic of Sustainability
– How the ancient Jewish concepts of Ba’al Taschit (Do not waste) and Shmita (Rest for the land) inform us how we must treat the land and each other
– How in spite of the seemingly insurmountable challenges throughout history, Jewish leaders remained grateful and optimistic
Rabbi Nina’s book is available for purchase on Bookshop.org or through Berhman House
