Sustaining the World: Spirituality and Civic Service

Lecture by Rabbi Will Berkovitz at SJU

Rabbi Will Berkovitz, vice president of partnerships and rabbi-in-residence at a national Jewish service organization called Repair the World, explored how we may respond to the traditional Jewish mandate to assist God in sustaining and repairing the world, which, he said, “has taken on new meaning and urgency in our age of widespread environmental degradation and untold human suffering.”
