Ladd House Living Room

Please join Joe Blumberg and Rabbi Lisa Vinikoor for a discussion:

Global warming is the defining challenge of our lifetimes, and it calls on each of us to dig deep and discover what we have to contribute to the project of climate justice. What does Judaism have to say about our obligation to heal our broken planet? And what spiritual grounding can Judaism provide as we face the uncertainty ahead? Join us for a whirlwind tour through some of Judaism's boldest perspectives on fixing the planet.
