Torah For Those Who Want to Do Away With or Castrate the EPA
The Hebrew word for earth is Adamah while the word for earthling is Adam. The message here is that if we destroy the Adamah we also destroy Adam. There is a reason Adam is told that his job on earth is to "
work the land and to protect it". (Gen 2:15) Regardless of everything else, that is still our job.
Shabbat Shalom, Rabbi B
