Let us not turn to the garden—or the theater, or the studio—to escape this world, but to enrich the soul, to strengthen our hearts to plant for a better future.

Dates: 3/5, 3/12, 3/19, 3/26 No bacon cheeseburgers! No lobster! No chicken parmesan! We know that, but…what else exactly is going on with Kashrut? What can we learn about it in our ancient texts and what bearing does it have on our contemporary lives?
