Climate Change and Jewish Thought

Laurie Zoloth, PhD
Margaret E. Burton Professor of Religion and Ethics
University of Chicago

Abstract: In this talk, Dr. Zoloth re-examines biblical and rabbinic narratives of Eden to create a new language for how to act in times of environmental crisis. She will draw on philosophic and historical ethical arguments to call for a collective—not just an individual—solution to climate change.
