Eating Jewishly involves tradition, family upbringing and origin, health and social influences. We will use texts to guide our discussion and provide context for how these factors have evolved our experience of what “eating Jewishly” means.

Mitzvah (commandedness) is one of the most important principles of Judaism while autonomy is the indispensable grounding idea of modern ethics. We live in a radically democratized world: We are all our own masters, our own publishers, our own producers, our own teachers, for some, our own bosses.

Given the centrality of the idea of commandedness and community in Judaism and given the radical democratization of society - what does Judaism look like in the 21st century for modern Jews?
