Wine certainly gets the primary focus in Judaism when it comes to beverages, yet what about beer? Beer has been around in human existence longer than wine, so where does it fit in in Judaism? Join Rabbi Drew Kaplan for an introductory overview of the most overlooked beverage in Jewish life. In this Zoom session, we will explore key texts on beer in the Bible, Talmud, and subsequent Jewish practice.

In addition to his trailblazing Jewish Drinking initiative, showcasing the wisdom tradition, history, and more on drinking in Jewish life, which includes publishing The Jewish Drinking Show podcast, he currently serves as the Campus Rabbi for Cincinnati Hillel.
