To eat or not to eat animals

The way we engage with Earth’s other living inhabitants has a profound impact on the world as a whole. Jewish tradition has a deep understanding of our obligations to the animals with whom we share this land. In this session we will explore specific views on animal rights as well as a broader framework for understanding our place as human beings in this world.
