The Panel:

Rabbi Sid Schwarz, PhD, moderator — Senior Fellow at Hazon, director of Clergy Leadership Incubator (CLI) and Kenissa: Communities of Meaning Network

In the words of Rabbi Ellen Bernstein, one of the pioneers of Jewish environmentalism, this book “illuminates the radical ecological nature of ancient Jewish thinking. Through personal stories and exploration of the most cutting-edge ecological thinking, Rabbi Margalit brings to life the wisdom of the rabbis, who understood that the meaning of life is forged by creating connections. At this time of such brokenness, The Pearl and The Flame inspires us to find creative new ways to make the world whole again.”
