Slifka Center Climate Crisis Working Group Application
We will sit with one another in the company of the hard questions, “How should we prepare for a world after climate catastrophe (or realize we’re already in one)?” and “Must we (not) bring children into a depleted, damaged world?” What can Judaism offer us as we confront the implications of a climate catastrophe we have failed to avert? How should Slifka balance our key function of providing kosher meat with our environmental values? What to do about reducing population growth and the continuity of the Jewish people? Are 'sin' and 'penance' helpful categories for environmentalism? What are the emotional practices that match the urgency on climate - without drowning in despair?

The group will meet biweekly over the year, and participants who complete the program will receive a stipend of $150 at the end of the academic year. Applications are due Sunday, October 11th.
