Jewish Environmental Initiative (JEI)
As Jews, we are commanded to preserve and restore God’s wondrous creation - the Earth! The Biblical injunction, b’al tashhit, is a prohibition against wasting resources. The concept of tikkun olam mandates that we repair the world.
"Do not destroy and desolate My world, for if you corrupt it, there is no one to set it right after you."
Midrash Ecclesiates Rabbah 7:13
"Is Your House Poisoning You?"
