After Dinner:

Beyond Kosher, it's Yosher: Jewish Justice in the Workplace

With Rabbi Ari Weiss

Does Kashrut extend to the treatment of workers who process, prepare and deliver our food? What is ethical Kashrut? What standards are necessary and which ones can be sacrificed to create a just workplace? Join Uri L'Tzedek's Rabbi Ari Weiss in reasoning through these complex and spiritual issues. Uri L'Tzedek is currently launching a groundbreaking initiative to bring workers, Kosher restaurant owners, and community members to create just workplaces.

About Rabbi Ari Weiss: Rabbi Weiss is currently the Lead Professional of Uri L'Tzedek. Prior to Uri L'Tzedek, he was Co-Director of the Meorot University Fellowship and has served on the Judaic Studies Faculty of the Heschel School. In the summer of 2006, Rabbi Weiss was a JCUA Rabbinical Student Fellow and interned at We The People Media, a Chicago based public housing advocacy group. He has served as a Jewish educator for American Jewish World Service, Bnei Akiva, and the Lauder Foundation on missions to Nicaragua, Ghana, Israel, and Hungary. Rabbi Weiss received his Rabbinical Ordination from YCT Rabbinical School in June 2007.

And on Shabbat afternoon:

The Origins of Jewish Responsibility
Between Love and Justice

With Rabbi Ari Weiss

Approximately 4:30pm at the CJL

(one hour before Mincha services)

Globalization has connected the world; it has also brought the horrors of the world into our living rooms. As people in positions of power and resources, we feel that we are responsible to do something but what is the source of this responsibility and what is Jewish about it? This presentation will focus on the Rabbinic roots of Jewish Responsibility for the Other as understood by the Jewish-French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas.
