Its remedies are balanced, middle paths between Jewish law, rabbinic dictum, and modern realities, showing that <i>kashrut</i>'s core values permeate Judaism, so that if the commandments are characterized as wheels driving Judaism forward, the dietary laws are their hubs and spokes. <i>Kashrut and Jewish Food Ethics</i> is a remarkable book, creating a mnemonic, the simple act of eating, reminding us we have custodianship of the Earth, welfare for our fellow humans, and care for ourselves." --Fred Reiss, <i>San Diego Jewish World</i></p>-- "San Diego Jewish World"<br><br><p>"The book is a feast of valuable insights, a very useful guide on how to make our diets more consistent with kashrut and Jewish values: holier, healthier, more compassionate, more environmentally sustainable, less wasteful of land, energy, water and other resources - and more just, by avoiding foods that involve the mistreatment of workers on farms and in slaughterhouses. ... At a time when typical Jewish diets, and those of most people, contribute substantially to an epidemic of life-threatening diseases in the Jewish and other communities, to climate change and other environmental threats to humanity, and to the widespread horrific treatment of farmed animals, this book provides much 'food for thought' and practical ideas that can help produce a healthier, more compassionate, just, peaceful and environmentally sustainable world."</p><p>--Richard H. Schwartz, <i>The Jerusalem Post</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz </strong>is President and Dean at Valley Beit Midrash.
