What Animals Teach Us about Families: Kinship and Species in the Bible and Rabbinic Literature
Hosted By: Valley Beit Midrash
Valley Beit Midrash explores family separation through an unexpected lens: the impact of human agriculture and development on animal families. Focusing on animal intimate lives rather than dietary ethics, the session reads the Bible’s four “animal family” laws alongside rabbinic interpretations to examine how humans have understood bonds between animals and between humans and animals. Through this study, the talk reimagines family itself, expanding kinship to include other forms of life amid the realities of the Anthropocene.
