Jews & Food

In this session of “Crafting a Jewish Life,” Rabbi Irwin Keller and Gesher Calmenson lead us through an exploration of Jewish eating:

• What laws and traditions have informed how we eat?

• How does food create Jewish identity?

• How does food reveal Jewish diversity?

• What is the role of fasting?

• How can eating be a gateway into mindful Jewish practice?

• What range of values inform what we choose to eat, individually or collectively?

This workshop is also the opening session of a congregation-wide conversation about our collective eating practices at Ner Shalom. If you would like to be part of that values-based decision making, be sure to attend this session!
