26 min - Neo-Hasidic Approaches to Animal Welfare - An interview with Rabbi Dr. Ariel Evan Mayse
An interview with Rabbi Dr. Ariel Evan Mayse. Rabbi Mayse is an assistant professor of Religion at Stanford University, and is a leading voice of the Neo-Hasidic movement. We discuss Neo-Hasidism and it's similarities and differences to traditional Hasidism, including it's approaches to Halakha. When limited to the dichotomy of leniency vs stringency, Neo-Hasidism is know for generally lenient views on many matters - but not when it comes to Kashrut and Tsar Baalei Chayim. We discuss Rabbi Mayse's halakhic teachings about animal agriculture and the environment.

19 min - Jewish Animal Advocacy on the World Stage - An Interview with Rabbi David Rosen, CBE
An interview with Rabbi David Rosen, former Chief Rabbi of Ireland & head of the AJC's Department of Interreligious Affairs. Rabbi Rosen is an outspoken critic of animal consumption, a leading Orthodox voice in this matter. We discuss his rabbinic argument that questions the kashrut of any factory farmed animal products, the pushback he has received from the Kosher meat industry in response, and Rabbi Rosen's raising this issue to Pope Francis himself in their meetings at the Vatican.

22 min - Fighting for Agricultural Justice - An Interview with Connie Spence of the Agriculture Fairness Alliance
An interview with Connie Spence, founder of the Agriculture Fairness Alliance and the Vegan Justice League, a bipartisan lobbying group focused on opposing the corrupt governmental policies that allow the mega corporations that run factory farms to line their pockets with taxpayer money - while they exploit both animals and workers and decimating our country's natural resources. Get ready to be fired up, folks, because we need to fight fire with fire.

15 min - Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Shemini: Holy Eating
A D'var Torah for Parashat Shemini. In this week's parsha, the Torah outlines which animals are permitted and forbidden from being eaten by the Israelites, concluded with a Divine statement that "You shall be holy, for I am holy." We explore that, despite the reluctant permissions of certain animals to be eaten, this holiness descends from what is not eaten, rather than what is.

7 min - Plant-Based Torah - Pesach 2020: A Plea from Generation Z
A Dvar Torah for Passover 2020. Passover celebrates liberation from Egypt, understood by the mystical tradition to be a place of narrowness. And yet, in our time, we all face a place of narrowness - the narrow path we all need to walk in order to mitigate the worst consequences of the Climate Crisis.

8 min - Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Tsav: Lifesource & Sensitivity
A D'var Torah for Parashat Tsav. In this week's portion, the sacrifices introduced last week are continued, and Aaron and his sons are ordained as the priests of the Israelites. And yet, there are several fascinating verses between these two narratives that give us incredible insight into the Torah's attitudes towards animal consumption.

6 min - Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Vayikra: The Lesson Behind the Sacrifices
A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayikra. As we begin the book of Leviticus, we explore the sacrificial worship established in this week's portion. Though the idea of animal sacrifice can make us quite uncomfortable, there is a greater lesson at hand!

7 min - Plant-Based Torah: Parashat Vayakhel-Pekudei: Moved Hearts, Simple Tents
A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayakhel-Pekudei. After an entire book of God giving again and again to the Israelites, the Book of Exodus concludes with the Israelites finally giving in return. The gift they give in return is shockingly simple, and yet, there is so much to learn in our time from this small gesture by the Israelites after all that God has done for them.
