Contemporary issues such as workers’ rights, animal welfare, environmental protection, among others, intersect with basic Jewish food ethics: while Jewish communities respect ancient laws, they also appreciate the importance of progress and look forward to a more repaired world. In these pages, readers will have the unique opportunity to delve into the minds of the brightest Modern Orthodox thinkers of the current generation. The contributions contained in\u003cem\u003e Kashrut \u0026amp; Jewish Food Ethics \u003c\/em\u003eare rich in detail and offer new paradigms for the practical observance of kashrut that have swirled in the ether for generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eKashrut and Jewish Food Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e is well-organized and thoughtfully presented, offering germane and urgent issues, even for those not fully compliant with Jewish dietary laws.
