“All of this I have created for you; therefore, take great care that you do not damage and destroy My world, for if you do, there is no one else to put (it) right” (Kohelet Rabbah 7:13:1).
Inspired by many Torah sources, Yosef Gillers, founder and co-director of GrowTorah, cited this pasuk first in a recent interview with The Jewish Link. “GrowTorah motivates, inspires and implements environmental commitment from a deep place of Jewish values,” said Gillers. “We do this through our school garden programs, our Torah farm camp, our workshops and our college internship and fellowship programs.”
