Radical Empathy: Animal Welfare, Effective Altruism, and Jewish Tradition

Join Zoë Sigle, the Senior Corporate Engagement Manager at Mercy for Animals (https://mercyforanimals.org/), and Hillel Ehrenreich, the Director of Effective Altruism for Jews (https://eaforjews.org/), for a presentation on the intersection of farmed animal welfare, effective altruism, and Judaism. Some topics the talk will explore include: Why factory farming might be one of the most pressing global issues of our time. How the tools and principles of effective altruism can help us in our efforts to bring an end to factory farming, and what might be the most effective things we can do right now to have the greatest impact on animal welfare. What Jewish texts and tradition have to say about our obligations to and relationship with non-human animals.
