Natur: Erkundungen aus der jüdischen Welt

Jewish Almanach 2021

Edited scholarly volume examining Jewish perspectives on nature, landscape, and the responsibility for preserving creation.
Published as part of the Jewish Almanach 2021, the annual German-language almanach of the Leo Baeck Institute, the book explores historical, cultural, and philosophical attitudes toward nature within Jewish life in the diaspora and in Israel.

The volume addresses the complex relationship between Jewish identity and the natural world, including perceptions of detachment from nature, longings for landscape, and the role of nature in Zionist thought and environmental practice in Israel.
