Rabbi Daniel Swartz, Spiritual leader of Temple Hesed, Scranton, PA; Executive Director of the Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life (COEJL)
Rabbi Swartz helped found the COEJL in 1993. For the past 35 years, he has been engaged in national and international faith-led efforts to promote environmental justice and combat climate change, including working with Pope Francis and helping to convene the global Women Faith Climate Network. Rabbi Swartz has also held leadership positions with Pennsylvania Interfaith Power and Light, Greater Washington IPL, the National Religious Partnership for the Environment, the Children’s Environmental Health Network, and the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.
“Climate Justice – Stories of Hope and Action”
Using his own experience with faith-based environmental gatherings from the Vatican to synagogue “green groups,” Rabbi Swartz will help us understand the faith and justice dimensions of the climate crisis. Drawing on generations of Jewish teachings, he will illustrate why it is so important that the Jewish community plays a role in solving this crisis. He will also address actions that each of us can take in our own lives, as well as efforts in which we can join together.
