Sukkot is often referred to as hag ha-asif, “The Harvest Festival.” Because of this strong association with the environment, we are delighted to have
Dr. Deborah Seligsohn, professor at Villanova University, an expert on aspects of climate change as a speaker. 
As a 20-year veteran US diplomat, she focused on the science of climate change and environmental issues throughout Asia.  After services, Dr. Seligsohn will update us on trends, compare actions taken by the two largest carbon emitter nations – the U.S. and China, and, what we can do as individuals to have a real impact.
 
Please join us for what will be a very enlightening evening, starting with
Shabbat services at 8:00 pm.
