- Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Vayera: Despair, Beware!
A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayera. This week, we see two very different sides of Avraham - on one hand, a loving, outspoken prophet; on the other, a dejected, defeated servant. What can we learn from his example in our own advocacy?

8 min - Plant Based Torah: Lech Lecha - The Promised Land is Burning
A D'var Torah for Parashat Lech Lecha by Kohenet Sarah Tziporah Moser. This week, God commands Abraham and his family to take a leap of faith by going to an unknown place - and are immediately faced with environmental emergency. Having just returned to her home following the Kincade Fire in Northern California, Sarah Tziporah shares how defeating it can be to realize that what was once a paradise is now rejecting the human activity there.

26 min - Plant-Based Torah: Noach - When Creation Goes Wrong
A D'var Torah for Parashat Noach by Alex Weisz. This week, God brokenheartedly decides to start over because of the wickedness, injustice, and corruption of God's own creation. Having been made in God's image, we too need to explore when a human creation can no longer be justified - and the emotions that can come with that.
