Global Warming
By Metwalli B. Amer, Ph.D, Founder and Executive Director of Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims
Islam

The Qur’an mentions care for the environment and maintaining a balance in multiple places. We must practice love for each other and for the planet and urge our legislators to create laws that will cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Noah

God wanted Noah’s help to save creation. Can we be modern-day Noahs?

Rosh Hashanah Sermon 5768

Texts: Rava; Genesis 1-2; Midrash Rabba 3:1; Deuteronomy 20:19-20; Mishna Torah, Laws of Kings and Wars 6:8-10; Sefer HaChinuch 529
Caring about the planet is profoundly Jewish. This congregation can do something by taking the Green Pledge to reduce carbon emissions individually and as a congregation.
