  • Kindly Rabbi Waskow has commendably and intelligently applied the wisdom and teachings of Passover to our planetary environmental crisis.

    Perhaps the perceptive Rabbi could consider applying his identical Judaic teachings and reasoning to the starvation, murdering & genocide occurring to the Palestinians in Gaza as a starter application. A much smaller problem and surely far less intractable--as if Palestinian life really mattered. One could easily "reason" and draw the analogy that Palestine should be more manageable and more doable than the entire planet.

    Ending the horrendous death and destruction in Gaza could set an shining demonstration and example for ending the destruction and highly probable death of the planet.
