It argues that we don't need to discover new values and approaches to address current global threats. What is needed is a rediscovery and application of basic Jewish teachings and mandates, such as to pursue peace and justice, to love our neighbors as ourselves, and to act as co-workers with God in protecting and preserving the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJudaism and Global Survival \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis meant to be a wake-up call, the strongest that one can make, on the urgency of addressing climate threats and other environmental threats, and the importance of Jews applying Jewish values in addressing these threats.
