Learning Jewish Environmental Teachings

Jewish Eco Seminars is proud to feature a wealth of new Jewish environmental teachings. From food, energy and waste to consumerism, Shabbat and prayer, the materials cover eighteen topics on Judaism and ecology.

Each of the 18 topics includes a short article (800 words) with a brief overview of the topic for blogs and articles; a long article (2000-2500 words) for in-depth study of the topic; a study guide with Hebrew/English sources and discussion questions for chavruta study or group learning, a podcast with a teaching on this topic; and a short video for sharing.

The materials were developed by Canfei Nesharim in partnership with Jewcology.com and released as a “Year of Jewish Learning on the Environment.” The director of Jewish Eco Seminars, Rabbi Yonatan Neril, worked with Canfei Nesharim on a consulting basis in developing the materials on all eighteen topics.
