Ethical Kashrut

Adrienne Krone began thinking about the entire system of kashrut -- Jewish dietary laws -- and how to relate ethically to food while researching historical religious diet movements as a Duke University graduate student. Today Krone is assistant professor of religious studies and director of Jewish life at Allegheny College, and her class "Judaism, Justice, and Food" examines the complex justice issues related to food, Jewish biblical dietary laws and rabbinic regulations, and the various aspects of food production.
