Toward a Holy Ecology: Reading the Song of Songs in the Age of Climate Crisis © 2024 by Rabbi Ellen Bernstein
This was a very ambitious task trying to advocate for this section of Torah. Is but I think the connection with climate change is pushing it a bit. There may be some connection between climate change and this book but that connection is tenuous at best. I certainly wouldn't recommend the song of songs as a means of inspiration for climate work.

“The rush to California, for instance, and the attitude, not merely of merchants, but of philosophers and prophets, so called, in relation to it, reflect the greatest disgrace on mankind. That so many are ready to live by luck, and so get the means of commanding the labor of others less lucky, without contributing any value to society! And that is called enterprise!”

“I’ve been a passionate adventurer in the solar industry and the sustainability movement my whole life. I try hard to walk my talk. My wife, Nantzy, and I live in an off-the-grid home (see page 70) built of recycled and green materials, powered by solar (passive and active) and hydroelectric energy, with gorgeous biodynamic gardens and fruit orchards that provide most of our food, a 15-acre biodynamic olive orchard, an 8-acre biodynamic vineyard, and a dozen beehives. I’m fortunate to benefit from the fruits of all our collective labors. As the solar industry continues to grow and mature, and as our cultural consciousness evolves, I remain hopeful that, once and for all, we will get things right in”
