Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin: TO FOREVER INHABIT THIS EARTH: AN ETHIC OF ENOUGHNESS

Presenting an evening at the intersection of spirituality and environmental justice with Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin, author of To Forever Inhabit This Earth: An Ethic of Enoughness! Join us on the patio, overlooking the Ivy’s gardens, to hear from Rabbi Cardin about her recent book, which implores us to envision the world, not as a commodity but as a fragile, improbable, extraordinary gift whose well-being and future now depend on us.

This book event is part of Good Trouble Day, a national day of action on July 17, inspired by the late Congressman John Lewis. The day is dedicated to responding to the attacks threatening our civil and human rights and to reminding this administration that in America, the power lies with the people. Inspired by Rabbi Cardin’s book, we’ll talk about the bond between our human rights and a healthy environment and invite you to take actions that can fight back against the drive to tyranny.

Using meticulously researched Jewish texts and the teachings of other faith traditions, she makes the case that environmental sustainability is a fundamental religious principle–and something we can address, if we have the will to do so.
