You are very cordially invited to attend a zoom teach-in at which I will be speaking, along with 20 other speakers, in commemoration of the 51st Earth Day on Thursday, April 22. The theme of the teach-in is “Applying Jewish and Other Religions’ Values to Help Save the World.” The event starts at 12:30 PM, US eastern time (7:30 PM Israeli time).
The teach-in aims to increase awareness of the seriousness of climate and other environmental threats, and the urgency of applying religious Values to help shift our imperiled planet onto a sustainable path. It also aims to initiate the creation of a coalition of veg, animal rights, environmental, and other organizations and individuals that will work together to address the threats, stressing the importance of shifts toward veganism.
The teach-in is organized and will be moderated by Richard Schwartz, PhD, president emeritus of Jewish Veg and author of the recently published “Vegan Revolution: Saving Our World, Revitalizing Judaism.“ It will be hosted by Yossi Wolfson, coordinator for the Israeli Jewish. Vegetarian Society.
You can register at https://forms.gle/T9fQyu6VxZXBK88k9
Among the 21 scheduled speakers, all of whom will speak for about 4 minutes at the teach-in, are six rabbis, one reverend, and eight present and past leaders of veg organizations. The list of speakers and very brief information about them is below.
Some of the issues that will be addressed during the teach-in include, but are not limited to: how serious are climate threats, what are various organizations doing to respond to the climate crisis, how significant are shifts to veganism in addressing climate threats, and what can be done to establish a coalition of organizations to increase awareness of the threats and the urgency of responding to them.
This unique event has the potential to be transformative in efforts to help shift our imperiled planet onto a sustainable path. Please attend and let others know about the teach-in. Thanks.
