5. Food Education
Download Chapter 5 of the Food Guide.
Changing the food you eat is one part of the equation; changing the way you think about it and talk about it is equally important. Food offers a wonderful starting point for diving in to Jewish tradition, and some of our ancient Jewish texts and practices offer remarkably relevant insights into the way we eat today.
It’s amazing how Jewish tradition can come to life when you have a hands-on learning experience. In this chapter we offer you a variety of different educational programming ideas, including movie nights, field trips, cooking classes, and speakers. We invite you to explore the possibilities of Jewish food education!
In this chapter:
- Go on a field trip
- Invite a speaker
- Host a Beit Midrash/learning series
- Cook together!
- Meet your meat: Organize an on-farm shechita (slaughter)
