With Election Day rapidly approaching, there are many issues of concern to each voter before they cast their ballot. But the Jewish voter is not monolithic. In each episode of “Behind the Ballot Box: Jewish Values and Our Vote,” Rabbi Jesse Olitzky speaks to rabbis and Jewish communal professionals about a specific issue at stake in this election and why they believe it should be front and center in the minds of voters.
Host Rabbi Jesse Olitzky of Congregation Beth El in South Orange, NJ speaks with Nigel Savage, Founder and Director of Hazon, the largest faith-based environmental organization in the country about the Climate Crisis. They discuss the Paris Accords, the Green New Deal, how to recreate the Garden of Eden and what synagogues and Jewish communities can do leading up to — and after — November’s election to make a difference in this true fight for our survival.
