- Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Vayigash: the Noblest Profession
A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayigash. Upon arriving to Egypt for good, Joseph's brothers introduce themselves to Pharaoh as shepherds, the profession of their ancestors. Shepherds play a prominent role throughout Biblical literature - so what lessons should we as modern Jews take from this ancient profession?

7 min - Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Miketz: The Quiet Heroics of Pharaoh
A D'var Torah for Parashat Miketz. This week's parsha features the quiet heroism of an unlikely figure - the Pharaoh of Egypt! And no - it's not the one who you're probably thinking of. Just as we should detest the cruelty of his successor who enslaved the Israelites, we should celebrate the Pharaoh of late Genesis who makes bold, swift changes in the face of looming environmental disaster.

6 min - Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Vayayshev: Resenting the Righteous
A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayayshev. Commentators have wondered for centuries whether Joseph was genuinely righteous, or merely self-righteous. Perhaps his brother's resentment towards him can teach us how we can best cultivate a welcoming and inviting plant-based movement without drawing resentment from others.

19 min - Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Vayishlach: Living Up to Our Namesake
A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayishlach. This week, Jacob faces his toughest challenge yet - and prevails. He then has his name changed to Israel, meaning literally to have "wrestled with God". In our time, the children of Israel and the rest of humanity face our most daunting opponent in history. How can we follow Jacob's lead and tackle this issue head-on?
