Jewish law. At work

Description

A rabbi's duties encompass far more than Torah study and synagogue services. In this program, viewers accompany a group of rabbis as they inspect and reinforce adherence to kosher laws. Businesses subject to inspection include a bakery, a fish processing facility, and a slaughterhouse-all of which undergo intense scrutiny regarding their equipment, supplies, food additives, and employee hygiene. The video explains the reasoning behind specific commandments about wine, eggs, milk, and other aspects of cooking-while examining the challenges an Orthodox rabbi faces in an increasingly hi-tech and fast-paced work and travel environment.
