Ariel Mayse: Where Heaven and Earth Kiss: Exploring New Perspectives in Jewish Environmental Ethics

In partnership with Urban Adamah

We will examine the relationship between theology, Jewish law, and aggadah with an eye to how Jewish teachings inform present-day environmental issues. Focusing on a range of issues–from pollution, zoning, and resource management, to distributive justice, creation theology, and the purpose of prayer– how we might construct a moral philosophy of environmental ethics that draws upon the full diversity of Jewish sources and the spiritual teachings?
