<div dir="ltr">ON THURSDAY<br><br>12n "Joy in the Embrace of the Unknown" Spiritual Journey Lunch with Alum Rabbi Justin Goldstein, GE HOUSE OFFICE<br><br>For
his Div III, Justin did an original translation and commentary on much
of Genesis called "The Essential Genesis." He will be speaking in the
evening on the Ethics of Food:<br><br>6p The Ethics of Food, East Lecture Hall FPH<br><br>Justin
became active in what has been called the "Jewish Food Movement" and
spent his final year in seminary as the Rabbinic Fellow for Hazon, North
America's largest Jewish environmental organization. Since 2007,
Justin has spent many hours researching and investigating a response to
Genetic Engineering rooted in Jewish law. Teaching and writing
regularly on issues of GE and environmental sustainability, Justin finds
the Jewish legal approach to debate, where all viewpoints can be
presented, respected and accepted even as they contradict, to be a
valuable way to confront any controversial topic. As a 2012-2013 fellow
in Rabbis Without Borders, Justin has been significantly influenced to
believe that Jewish wisdom should be entered into the global marketplace
of ideas and is a relevant and positive source for inspiration for
many, not Jewish communities alone.</div>
