I'm excited to see a conversation about food bringing us together - just like eating should!

In our discussion on Sunday, we will come to understand why Heksher Tzedek is a vehicle for helping restore a level of kashrut in America.” I've been watching a lot of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel the past few days on YouTube (hey, don't judge how I spend my time!) and I'm finding myself wishing we had some prophets to go along with all of our rabbis. I think this talk on Sunday is a great move in that direction! Thanks, Sara! “Jewish people understand the world from ethical and ritual perspectives; a Judaism that denies one for the sake of the other, regardless of which one, is not a fulfilled life,” says Rabbi Allen. “Heksher Tzedek is a corrective to a Jewish world that elevates the ritual over the ethical.
