LESSON SEVEN: G-D-BASED MORALITY

This lesson continues where the last lesson left off. Our responsibilities don’t end with our responsibilities to our fellow Jews and human beings. Other Torah values include: Animal welfare, and concern for the conservation of wildlife, natural resources and habitats, and the environment. This lesson explores social justice issues such as tzaar baalei chayin and bal tashchis.
Are we obliged to ensure that the items we purchase were not produced under sweatshop conditions and were not manufactured in plants that wreak havoc on the environment? The lesson (and course) concludes with a discussion about our nation’s spiritual mission vis-à-vis society. In addition to the social responsibilities, we are charged to be “a light unto the nations.” This lesson contains a discussion about the sheva mitzvos bnei Noach.
