That is why many in the world-wide Jewish community, will be observing tonight and tomorrow Climate Healing Shabbat. This Shabbat coincides with the International Day of Climate Action called by Bill McKibben, the organization called 350.org, and more than 4,000 local groups around the world. The number "350" has been named by a number of eco-scientists as the highest acceptable limit for the proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere - 350 parts per million - if global climate change is to be halted short of global disaster. This is why our Shabbat minyan tomorrow morning will be in Nature at Alum Rock Park, starting at 10:30am.  So too I will be participating in an interfaith panel discussion of approaches to environmental ethics and responsibility at the Chung Tai Zen Center in Sunnyvale at 3pm. The program will also include a presentation on Global Warming and Renewable Energy. It is amazing to me that there are so many who still believe that Global Warming is not a problem. I hope you will take some opportunity this Shabbat to explore this issue for yourself. For if we do not work together to effect change than we are all in great trouble. And the first step is being educated about this world problem.
