The Jewish Ecologist
The Jewish Ecologist
Introducing the New Official Podcast… April Fools!
We are officially extending the technological scope of Jewish Ecology. This blog was born out of a desire to build up the foundations of a cultural and ecological synthesis between community ecology and Judaism. Through my discussions with The Jewish Diasporist podcast these discussions have moved beyond the purely theoretical and the philosophical, and towards a grounded reconciliation between history, Jewishness, and cultural diversity. I hope to continue to extend this exploration into the dialogue between different technological and intellectual spaces, and to create new meaning within multicultural and interdisciplinary discussion.
I hope you enjoy this new episode of The Jewish Ecologist

Thank you for reading Jewish Ecology. This blog aims to build a participatory dialogue in which important ideas at the intersection of Judaism and ecology can help us root ourselves in the World. This blog is not just for Jews; I aim for these articles to be accessible and impactful for anyone that is interested in building up an understanding of the role that spirituality, philosophy, and/or ethics play in bringing about a more peaceful, ecological, and sustainable future for all People and the World.
