Sunday, March 15, 2026 10:30 AM at CBI
The Jewish obligation to protect the natural world is repeated many times in Torah and Midrash. Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:13 declares: “Do not destroy My world, for if you do, there will be nobody after you to make it right again.” Declarations from the present administration notwithstanding, climate change driven by human activity is an existential threat to the world we know. Even though most people recognize the threat, they don’t know much about its causes and how it can be addressed, and are often discouraged that it is too late and too expensive to fix. This talk will explain the cause and scale of the climate challenge in layman’s terms, and then show how affordable solutions are already at hand.
OPEN TO THE MEMBERS OF ALL LOCAL CONGREGATIONS & GUESTS WITH RSVP
RSVP to gmallin@cbitoledo.org or the office by March 10th.
