Friday, April 22nd – 7th Day of Pesach / Earth Day
During the Sanctuary Service
Jeff Levy-Lyons will join us on the 7th day of Pesach, representing the Jewish Climate Action Network NYC (JCAN). JCAN raises a distinctly Jewish voice in the work of addressing our climate crisis. We provide pathways for the Jewish community to engage with this work to make a real difference. We see climate change as not just a technical crisis (the planet is dangerously warming) but a spiritual one (we’ve lost our reverence for God’s creation). It demands a spiritual answer informed by Jewish law and tradition. Learn more and get involved: jcan-nyc.org.
Jeff will deliver the dvar torah during the Sanctuary service, and he will be available to speak with anyone who is interested in JCAN after services, either on the Roof (weather permitting) or in the Sanctuary.
Jeff Levy-Lyons is a member of the Steering Committee of JCAN. He also plays a support role in many other climate and environmental organizations, including Dayenu, GreenFaith, and NY Renews. Additionally, Jeff deploys his experience as a communication skills trainer and coach to help individuals and organizations speak about the climate emergency with a strong, clear voice.
