An evening with North Peninsula Scholar in Residence Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz

Havdalah and dessert reception.

Jewish food ethics go far beyond what’s on our plates. This session examines how kashrut, sustainability, labor rights, and justice intersect—and how our food choices can become a powerful expression of Jewish values. 

Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz is a leading Jewish ethicist and social-impact leader. As President & Dean of Valley Beit Midrash in Scottsdale, Arizona, he cultivates a vibrant, pluralistic network of learning and moral leadership engaging thousands across denominations, cultures, and faith traditions. A nationally recognized scholar, Rabbi Yanklowitz holds a doctorate from Harvard University and rabbinic ordination from Yeshivat Chovevei Torah. He has authored 30 books on Jewish ethics and spirituality, written widely for major national publications, and represented Jewish moral leadership at the World Economic Forum.

All are welcome!
