Keeping Faith in Climate Action with Rabbi Debbie Young-Somers

How do we keep faith in climate action when governments and corporations keep dragging their feet? How does a ritual described in the Torah help women navigate life’s transitions in 2024? How do we nurture open dialogue between communities with hate crime on the rise? 

Our conversation with Rabbi Debbie Young-Somers, lecturer at Leo Baeck College and trustee of Faiths for the Climate, ranges from environmental activism to the importance of nuance in tough conversations.
