http://blogs.jta.org/ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE/kosher-ethics-panel-at-yu/ The New York Times has a story yesterday on the kosher ethics panel Tuesday night at Yeshiva University (also live-streamed on the JTA website).  en-us bharris@jta.org Copyright 2008 2008-12-11T;20:59:00-05:00 RebekahCarlyMorris@gmail.com I find this an interesting subject seeing as both my Rabbi’s have opted for an organic stamp on their food rather than kosher, due to the questionable ethics on some kosher farms. Although I stopped keeping kosher over a year ago, feeling wasting food was worse than breaking kashrut, I still find this quite important for the Jewish community. Another example of questing whether to follow the letter of the law, or the spirit of it.
