Nigel Savage, a trailblazer in the Jewish food movement, and UW Professor Karen Litfin, a scholar of global environmental politics, will explore the ways in which religious faith and practice contribute much-needed perspectives on food production and distribution. The third of a four-part series considering the links between Judaism and social justice, the discussion will consider how religious communities are now emerging as key catalysts for transforming our relationship with food and advocating for a healthy and just food system.    Register at: http://jewdub.org/what-is-religions-place-in-food-politics/ More about the event at: http://jewdub.org/justice-and-judaism/learn-more/time-to-get-hungry/        Got a piece of news to share?
