ECO BIBLE: VOLUME ONE
An Ecological Commentary on Genesis and Exodus
ECO BIBLE is a groundbreaking commentary on the Hebrew Bible.
Drawing on 3,500 years of Jewish commentary, ECO BIBLE shows how the Bible itself and rabbinic writings embrace care and stewardship for God's creation as a fundamental message. This ecological commentary speaks to humanity's greatest challenges of the 21st century and beyond. Volume 1 (to be published November 16, 2020) explores Genesis and Exodus, and Volume 2 (forthcoming, early 2021) explores Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The book also explores how the Five Books of Moses/Pentateuch and rabbis' commentaries past and present connect with contemporary scientific thought regarding human health, biodiversity, and clean air, land, and water .
ECO BIBLE reveals profound divine teachings from an ecological perspective. In its two volumes, ECO BIBLE covers 450 verses, quoting over 100 rabbis and other Jewish thinkers. ECO BIBLE affirms a spiritually grounded vision for long-term sustainability and immediate environmental mindfulness and action, including many suggested action items.
Rabbi Yonatan Neril founded and directs The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development (ICSD) and its Jewish Eco Seminars branch. ICSD reveals the connection between religion and ecology and mobilizes faith communities to act. Raised in California, Yonatan completed a B.A. and M.A. from Stanford University with a focus on global environmental issues, and received rabbinical ordination in Israel. He has spoken internationally on religion and the environment, including at the UN Environment Assembly, the Fez Climate Conscience Summit, the Parliament of World Religions, and the Pontifical Urban University. He co-organized twelve interfaith environmental conferences in Jerusalem, and the U.S. He is the lead author and general editor of two books on Jewish environmental ethics including Uplifting People and Planet: 18 Essential Jewish Teachings on the Environment. Yonatan also co-authored three ICSD reports on faith and ecology courses in seminary education in Israel, North America, and Rome. He lives with his wife, Shana and their two children in Jerusalem.
Rabbi Leo Dee received a Master's in Engineering from Cambridge University, a Master's in Public Health from Hebrew University, and rabbinical ordination in Israel. Following six years as a community rabbi in the United Kingdom, he moved to Israel where he has developed a passion for changing hearts and minds in order to encourage sustainable development - initially among the Israeli financial community, and then within the field of Responsible Investment. He served as director of programs at ICSD. He lives in Efrat with his wife, Lucy, and their children.
