Waiting for the Messiah: Stories to Inspire Jews with Hope
This book took me a long time to wade through because of the the density of many of the articles. There were even some articles that I skimmed very cursorily because they were just too tangled, in their wordiness, high-brow language, or deep philosophy/religious references. However, I did learn quite a bit about how "nature" (more than ecology, per se) has been treated with in Jewish biblical and rabbinical discourse over the ages. And there were some very interesting modern takes on how to interpret even the ancient tale of Creation when looking through the lens of conservation ecology. Overall, the take-home message, for me, was that if conservation, nature, and ecological ethics are to take place within a Jewish context, much of the language and religious foundation will have to heavily re-envisioned.
