Renowned United Nation's green activist and musician Aubrey Meyer will
open the debate 'How can Jews (help) save the planet ?' with a violin
performance of the theme to Schindler's List. The music will accompany
a screening of incontrovertible images of the 'environmental genocide'
he suggests we now face.

Meyer will be joined by Dr Mark Levene, Dr Mayer Hillman and Rabbi
Jeffrey Newman to consider the extent of global warming, what brought
us to this point and what can be done now to improve the situation ?

Our panel will also debate how we as Jews can respond to the crisis
and whether there is a prophetic wisdom which needs raising now.
