Stewardship of the Earth Resources for Mitzvah Initiative -- April
CBS Library/LRC Resources
Stewardship of the earth is a compelling mitzvah of our world today. We all must take responsibility
to guard and protect the environment for our and future generations. As it states in Midrash
Ecclesiastes Rabbah 7:13, "do not corrupt or destroy my world; for if you do, there will be
no one to repair it after you." (website: http://www.coejlsc.org)
