Rabbi David Rosen, International Director of Interreligious Affairs at AJC, comments on different opinions as to how Love of the Divine is possible. Whether the answer is based in an appreciation of the cosmos or the love of neighbor as an altruistic approach it must be related to the love God has towards mankind and our responsibility back towards God and the world He created. Rabbi Rosen mentions personalities like Pope Francis and the “Green Patriarch” Bartholomew who are pursuing this approach in order to promote sustainable development.
