Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Chukat: Orders of Magnitude

Shamayim: Jewish Animal Advocacy ·

2021/06/18

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. Recorded & edited by Alex Weisz "Uniq - Japan" is under a Royalty Free license. Photo of the license:

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.

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

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

Plant-Based Torah - Parashat Shemini: Holy Eating

Shamayim: Jewish Animal Advocacy ·

2020/04/17

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.

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.

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.

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.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Tetzaveh. We Jews may find ourselves asking - what does the Torah want from us anyway? This week's parsha offers us an answer from an unlikely topic: Animal Sacrifices. Parashat Tetzaveh focuses heavily on the priestly order instituted in the Torah, as well as some of the earliest commands regarding the sacrificial system - an uncomfortable topic for many contemporary readers, especially folks who eat plant-based. Nevertheless, a discussion between a few Rabbinic Sages may

However, the location of this law is peculiar, the meaning of which has considerably more significance than meets the eye.
