I met Art Green in our youth when he was lecturing at Brooklyn College. He is the same chariamatic, serious and deeply engaging person he was then. Thank you for this presentation.
Thank you JTS and the Presenters: Rabbi Andeleman; Prof. Fishbane; Prof. Eisen; Rabbi Green. There is no limit to how much I have to learn in Yiddishkeit, Torah, Judaism and life. There were a lot of fresh thoughts expressed via the excellent communication of the four presenters. None the less, something shifted in the later minutes. My perspective on "climate change" may be based on a different science angle? Being a former 'hippie' I was alerted to "environmental" issues long ago. What used to be termed 'environmental' has morphed into a dogma first term "global warming" but when the 'warming' science proved inaccurate and incomplete those with vested interests changed the title to "climate change". We knew long ago that there were manmade environmental and polution and urbanisation issues. We now have double the global population since the 1960s or 70s? The 'climate change' folks tend to be oriented towards Left politics. So the important issues of environment, polution, development etc tend to morph into Left politics. That is they become Party oriented virtue signally related to 'who do you vote for'. Whereas the 'environ' issues are for all Humanity and flora fauna. Then following soon came the usual necessary virtue signalling about that particular past President. As a semi-ex-pat who left the USA in August 1979 as I 'saw the writing on the wall', the revered Office of the President of the USA has had a long run of rats in office. By rats I mean mainly career politicians who will virtually say anything to get elected and We The People buy into the myth of 'free elections'. I knew virtually nothing about THAT person before he announced his candidacy but when I saw the immediate reactions from sane people I knew and from the Press what is now referred to as mainstream media, I 'smelled a rat' and in this case I am not talking about any of the ratty Candidates. So I observed and read and listened and very early I said that particular person was going to win because my side 'left' refused to listen to We The People who were simply saying ..... 'something is rotten in the state of Denmark' ie with the then current 'administation' and its Mother Party. From the moment of that particular Candidates candidacy annoucement there was an all out assault. Eventually of course that spread to his 'Party's' other Candidates. It was amazing to see those fools lie, lie, lie like the other Party and see one by one his 'Party's' Candidates give up. It was so obvious to me that he was going to win because 'our side' with the 'right values of the Left' were liars to ourselves so he was only going to win because we were going to lose. So in the last minutes of this wonderful video presentation ..... the cards were exposed. Erstwhile the preaching had been about a dogmaless theology in fact there is a dogma exposed that is: Believers in the Dogma of the scientifically inaacurate "Climate Change" Movement; Believers in the mythological logic of the political system as being correct and honest and accurate; and, there is a whiff of Anti-Orthodox which is undermining the 'global' teshuvah that is now extremely necessary for Am Yisroel (all inclusive) and likely 'our mission' Globally to share our great values within and from our 'orthodox' yet varied practices.

This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for this conversation. Rabbi Green is a kindred soul.
How wondrously beautiful is the Mystic Vision.

This Thomas Merton follower thanks you so very much for the beauty and truth I heard in your wonderful words.
What a timely and rich presentation:-) Todah rabah
Just bought your book. Have several of your other books.
Same here. Also, didn’t know Rabbi Green went to the same synagogue as my grandmother growing up! Cool.
