DC Minyan Lunch and Learn with Shmuly Yanklowitz, director of Uri L'Tzedek
Please join DC Minyan for a lunch and learn about ethical kashrut standards after services on June 6th with Shmuly Yanklowitz. Shmuly is a co-founder and director of Uri L'Tzedek, the Orthodox Social Justice movement. A rabbinical student at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah in New York and a Wexner Graduate Fellow, Shmuly has Master's degrees in Human Development and Psychology and in Jewish Philosophy and is working on a Ph.D. in Moral Development and Epistemology.
This lunch and learn will comprise the third part in our three-part series on Judaism and the environment. Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin kicked off the series with the December lunch and learn about the Jewish environmental imperative, and Rabbi Julian Sinclair taught at DC Beit Midrash about Tu'bshvat and sustainable food. We hope to see you at this third program in DC Minyan's series on Judaism and the environment!
The lunch is free for DC Minyan members and $21 for non-members. We ask everyone to register by Wednesday, June 3 at www.dcminyan.org/rsvp.html. If you sign up and later realize that you cannot attend the lunch, please email sc@dcminyan.org so we can give your spot to someone else. This will ensure that you do not prevent someone else from attending the lunch in your place. Thank you for helping us accommodate as many people as possible.
