What’s Meaningful About Keeping Kosher?

What is the meaning behind the laws of kashrut (keeping kosher)? The Torah’s laws tell us what we can and can’t eat, but what’s the ethical message behind the laws? In this episode, Part 1 in a 3-part series that tackles the laws of kashrut, Imu Shalev and Beth Lesch begin with a fundamental question about kosher eating that most of us don’t even think to ask: Does the Torah want us to kill animals and eat them? Or does the Torah express an ethic that is more closely aligned with vegetarianism? Meaningful Judaism is a project of Aleph Beta Labs.
