  • Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Chukat: Orders of Magnitude

    A D'var Torah for Parashat Chukat. This week's parsha gives several examples of the relations animals have with humans: purifying them, harming them, killing them, and healing them. But any relationship goes two ways, and the interactions must be considered quantifiably and qualitatively. We weigh humanity's treatment of animals on the scales of justice in this week's dvar Torah.

  • Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Korach: Sacred Responsibility

    A D'var Torah for Parashat Korach. In this week's parsha, a rebellion takes place against Moses and Aaron's leadership. The rebels, lead by Korach, insist that their inherent holiness should keep Moses and Aaron from elevating themselves above them. In our time, the Korachs of the world insist that their inherent freedoms should prevent initiatives the overhaul our food system to a sustainable, plant-based one that will help to mitigate the looming climate catastrophe. The Torah's prioritization of freedom against other values is explored in this dvar Torah.

  • Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Shelach Lecha: Courage or Curses

    A D'var Torah for Parashat Shelach Lecha. In this week's parsha, Moses sends a group of scouts to observe the Promised Land. Only two of them, Caleb & Joshua, report honestly and optimistically - the others cower in fear. Because of their lack of courage, God dooms the entire generation to die in the wilderness while their children will take their place to enter the Promised Land. In our time, the simple steps we need to make for the sake of the future are responded to with fear - will we suffer the same fate as the Israelites?
