We are changing topics a bit as John Lehr will introduce us to Becky O’Brien who is Hazon’s National Director of Food & Climate who will lead us in a book discussion of We Are the Weather-Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast by Jonathan Safran Foer.

From the Hazon website: The book is a superb, readable, and very Jewish explication of how and why and in what ways our food choices matter. In We Are the Weather, Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way. The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves—with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future.

It should be an interesting conversation!
