How we procure food has important implications for living a moral, Jewish life, argues Simon Feil in this ELI Talk.
Ritual and community center around food. What we eat and how we eat it lie at the very heart of who we are. How we procure that food, argues Simon Feil, has important implications for living a moral, Jewish life.
