SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn // Working to Advance Legal Protections for Animals
DESCRIPTION: // A Talk by Animal Law lawyer Laura Ireland\nJoin Laura Ireland\, Associate Director of the Animal Law and Policy Institute at Vermont Law and Graduate School\, to learn more about the wide ranging work being done there to advance animal welfare. \nThe Institute — one of the leading national centers for the study of legal protections for animals — trains tomorrow’s animal advocacy leaders to advance animals’ legal status through education\, scholarship\, policy development\, community engagement\, and litigation. \nGraduates have found jobs advocating for animal interests in civil matters — including animal custody disputes\, wrongful death\, and pet trusts — with a variety of organizations\, such as the Humane Society of the United States; the PETA Foundation; the ASPCA; the Earth Law Center; and government agencies specializing in animal cruelty prosecutions. \nNote: a vegan lunch will be served before Ms. Ireland’s talk. \n\nNote from Lunch & Learn Coordinator Wayne Senville: \nFor those of you interested in Jewish values and animal welfare see “Ethical Treatment of Animals in Judaism\,” by Rabbi Jill Jacobs\, as well as the Center for Jewish Food Ethics’ “The Jewish Value of Tza’ar Ba’alei Chayim” and their short YouTube video\, Shalom Begins on Your Plate\, advocating a plant-based diet. \nPlease Register Here to Help Us Plan \n\nAbout OZ’s Lunch and Learns: \nSpeakers cover a wide range of topics. A delicious lunch will be offered\, which is served promptly at NOON. The talks begin at about 12:15pm and end no later than 1:15pm (including some time for Q&A). \nSuggested cash contribution of $10 for food can be paid on the registration form or collected at the event — but feel free to give more or less. Please also consider being a sponsor of one or more Lunch & Learn talks. Information on this is on Lunch & Learn talk registration pages\, or contact OZ Program & Engagement Manager Evan Rose at: 802-864-0218 ext 801. \n\n\n    2025-2026 Series of Lunch and Learn Talks:  Thursday\, September 18\, 2025: Jewish Life & Antisemitism in Today's Germany // a talk by UVM Professor Alan Steinweis  Thursday\, October 16\, 2025: Working to Advance Legal Protections for Animals // a talk by Animal Law lawyer Laura Ireland  Thursday\, November 20\, 2025: From Berlin to Hollywood: the life and times of Ernst Lubitsch\, Fritz Lang\, and Billy Wilder // a talk\, with film clips\, by UVM Lane Series Director Natalie Neuert  Thursday\, December 18\, 2025: An Introduction to the Me2 Orchestra // a presentation by Orchestra Manager and Cellist Phoenix Crockett  Thursday\, January 15\, 2026: Supporting Kids & Families -- the Work of the Boys & Girls Club of Burlington // an illustrated talk by Executive Director Tanya Benosky  Thursday\, February 19\, 2026: Volunteers Helping People Seeking Asylum // An Introduction by CASAN Board Members Jan Steinbauer and Kim Watkin  Thursday\, March 26\, 2026: The Kurdish-led Local Democracy Revolution in the Middle East // an illustrated talk by author and translator Janet Biehl  Thursday\, April 16\, 2026: Jewish Traditions in Classical Choral Music // an exploration by Musicologist & Choral Conductor Nathaniel G.

SUMMARY:Minyan (Online Evening)
DESCRIPTION:Ohavi Zedek offers regular minyan services to meet the worship needs of our community and especially to aid those members of our community who are reciting Kaddish in memory of a recently deceased loved one or on a Yahrzeit. Services are held Sunday-Thursday evenings at 7:00 on Zoom. Ohavi Zedek’s minyan is traditional and egalitarian. Mincha and Maariv are recited at evening services when the services begin before dark\, only Ma’ariv is recited once we reach the point in the year when services start after dark. We also hold Sunday Shacharit at 8:45 AM in person and on Zoom. \nIf you are planning to attend a service to recite Kaddish please fill out this form to let us know so we can make sure there is a minyan present. \nClick here to access the Weekday Siddur Lev Shalem used during our evening Minyan services. \nZoom link is below under the heading ‘Website’. \nPlease make your full first and last name viewable on Zoom\, so we know who you are and can admit you. \nResources: \nWhen Should I Say Kaddish for Yahrzeit? \nThe Mourner’s Kaddish: A Memorial Prayer in Praise of God by My Jewish Learning \n  \n
