Dirge for the earth and climate change

Seasons

A haunting ancient Jewish melody with lyrics in Hebrew and English, chanted by the late Cantor Richard Kaplan. Dirges (kinot) of Tisha B’av, the summer fast to commemorate the destruction of the ancient Temples in Jerusalem, are here combined with visuals of our planet’s beauty, the ravages of climate change, and hopes for the future. Made and introduced by Barak Gale.

Barak Gale serves as a Volunteer Climate Reality Leader and Mentor for the Climate Reality Project, founded by Former Vice President Al Gore. Visit their site to learn more about Climate Change and renewable energy.
