GEN269 It is clear that Judaism, with its mystical orientation and insistence that God is found in all things, is profoundly concerned with the environment, ecology, and all living things. Several times in the creation story in Genesis we read that “God saw that it was good.” Central to Jewish thought is the idea that man, as the jewel of creation, was placed by God as custodian over the garden of creation.  God’s commandment to Adam and Eve when He placed them in the Garden of Eden was to protect the garden [this verse]. Man therefore is held accountable for the state of the world.  BOTEACH 370
