An Earthbound Judaism

In this book in progress, I analyze the profound challenges ecological crisis poses to potent Jewish theological categories of Jewish tradition.

If you’d like a taste of my work on this topic, I invite you to read “There is No ‘Away’: Ecological Fact as Jewish Theological Problem” and/or this conversation between Judith Plaskow and myself in which we reflect on discovering the environmental humanities and integrating its questions into Jewish theology.

I welcome the opportunity to share my ideas with scholarly, undergraduate, and community audiences. If you are interested in bringing me to speak about this work, please fill out this contact form. I would be delighted to hear from you.
