In the words of Rabbi Ellen Bernstein, one of the pioneers of Jewish environmentalism, this book “illuminates the radical ecological nature of ancient Jewish thinking. Through personal stories and exploration of the most cutting-edge ecological thinking, Rabbi Margalit brings to life the wisdom of the rabbis, who understood that the meaning of life is forged by creating connections. At this time of such brokenness, The Pearl and The Flame inspires us to find creative new ways to make the world whole again.”
Join National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) TODAY for a Jewish Community Briefing at 1:30pm ET on June 28 with Center for Reproductive Rights, the litigators in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health case, and Physicians for Reproductive Health to learn more about what the decision means and the impact it’s having on the ground.
