What Does It Mean to 'Eat Jewishly'?
with Dr. David Kraemer
Sunday, June 6 2:00-3:00pm via Zoom

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how and why the laws of kashrut developed over time. In line with his method of scholarship, Professor Kraemer identifies not only the law, but also the context in which the law develops.
