A hybrid event (in-person and virtual) by Rabbi Yonatan Neril
ABOUT THE EVENT:
Rabbi Yonatan Neril will explore Jewish teachings that relate to ecology and why it’s so critical that Jewish communities mobilize to address the climate crisis. We are facing the greatest challenge we have ever faced and Jewish wisdom has a critical role in informing values and environmental behavior. Religion is a fundamental part of many people’s lives and a key motivator. Rabbi Neril, who is visiting Denver from Jerusalem, will also share about the work of his Jerusalem-based NGO in Israel and internationally to promote faith groups inspiring behavioral change for sustainable living.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Rabbi Yonatan Neril founded and directs The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development. He speaks internationally on religion and ecology, and co-organized thirteen interfaith environmental conferences in Jerusalem, the U.S, and Dubai. He completed an M.A. and B.A. at Stanford University. He lives with his wife, Shana and two children in Jerusalem.
