As you note, it is probably not enough to gather a random group of people together and expect to foster innovation and generate change. For that to happen, members of a group need to be diverse and able to compliment each others strengths and weaknesses, as well as, effectively and openly communicate through challenging and supportive dialogue. However, that is not all. Group members must be aware of and committed to this kind of rigorous discourse, despite the personal and professional obstacles it may present. This kind of relentless back and forth unearths unexpected questions that lead to unanticipated and creative answers – the lifeblood of innovation and change. For Jewish environmentalists, I think it is high time we get together and start asking these kinds of questions. One question that is on my mind right now is, what is Jewish environmentalism (http://www.jewcology.com/content/view/What-is-Jewish-Environmentalism)? What is your question/s?
