PEACE with Penny SEASON 3: Penny S. Tee Interviews Rabbi Yonatan Neril, Founder and Executive Director of The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development (ICSD) March 15, 2022
We spoke with Rabbi Yonatan Neril, Founder and Director of The Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development. Rabbi Yonatan is not only a rabbi, and best-selling co-author of Eco Bible, but his passion is for a sustainable Earth, and he works with fervor to protect the planet with interfaith groups of Jews, Muslims and Christians holding conferences on ecology in Jerusalem and the United States and his work with ICSD spans the Middle East, Africa, North America and Europe.
In February, when Penny S. Tee had her pre-interview with Rabbi Yonatan as the Russian invasion was beginning, he was the first person to share with her his concerns about the 15 nuclear reactors in the Ukraine, including the largest, and the potential damage if they were attacked during a war with Russia. He also was concerned about the impact of war on the environment regardless of nuclear involvement.
On Tuesday’s interview he shed light on what as a world we are facing with the nuclear attacks and threats from Russia, the state of ecology for the Earth, and how he and other religious leaders try to be a force of protection for our planet. Learn how Jews, Muslims and Christians work together in Peace to try and prevent unnecessary environmental calamities.
Are you curious also, about the dangers of what is happening in Ukraine and what these attacks are imposing on our environment as well as what’s happening in other areas of the world that may be closer to home? As we’ve seen over these years, we live in a globalized world, and what happens to our neighbors, impacts all of us, whether it’s the price of gas, or God forbid, the impact of a nuclear disaster.
We hope you will choose to listen with us. Now, as the missiles explode in Ukraine, and with the ever-present fear of war in the Middle East, we pray that everyone will some day live in Peace, שלום and سلام.
