Sermon Sources 1

I thought for time to time I would post some of the articles, books, etc. I reference in preaching. Here is a first installment.

A bit before High Holidays I did a sermon on the ethics of meat eating. Michael Pollan’s book was an excellent resource. It is a fascinating book and it may change what you choose to eat. Certainly it will make you more reflective about this most basic need. Reflection, I believe, is one of the aims of the Jewish way of eating.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am, like Pollan a carnivore, although my prey is limited by kashrut and his is not, as evidenced in his chapter about hunting and eating wild pigs.
