Earth Based Judaism: Food Ethics & Wisdom

Thursday, January 22 @ 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm

Food Ethics & Wisdom

Join guest teacher Rabbi Mike Rothbaum of Congregation Dor Hadash in a stimulating and lively exploration of Jewish food ethics. In this five-part series, learn together  through conversation, text study, and personal reflection.

What We'll Cover

What makes Judaism unique in its relationship to food? From blessings of gratitude for the pleasures of it, to our obligations to feed those in need, the way we feed and eat are at the core of how we move through the world.

Let's learn together how to move with more compassion, a commitment to justice, and joy!
