Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin will discuss how human beings need to redefine their relationship to the earth, and how the wisdom found in our Jewish texts obligates us to the mitzvah of Yishuv Ha’Olam (Habilitability of the World). She will also discuss a new paradigm for reading Genesis, and how the ancient Jewish concepts of Ba’al Taschit (Do not waste) and Shmita (Rest for the land) inform us how we must treat the land and each other.
