(JNS) DALLAS-Seventeen-year-old Swedish climate-change activist Greta Thunberg was not at BBYO's International Convention here last week, but when her name was mentioned, throngs of teenagers applauded and screamed as if she was. That's because climate-change activism was as much of a theme of the four-day conference as the official one "Tomorrow Happens Here." Avi Garbow, environmental advocate for the sportswear line Patagonia who received the annual STAND UP Award on behalf of the company, said Greta may be a rock star to them, but there are more just like her.

Like Eddie Jacobson, God is calling on each of us, saying there is something only we can do. Our Sages asked a strange question in the Talmud: Where do we find a hint in the Torah to the Book of Esther? The Talmud (Chullin 39b) answers with the words, vanochi haster astir panai, I will hide my face on that day.
