An Introduction to Beer in Judaism

  • Lehrhaus 425 Washington Street Somerville, MA 02143 USA (map)

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 beer in the Bible, Talmud, and Jewish practice🍺

Known for his personability, outstanding listening skills, and warm charisma, Rabbi Drew Kaplan brings to the rabbinate a sharply attentive eye to the texts of our tradition. As someone who enjoys carefully considering intellectual history, he also relishes teaching them, no matter the medium.

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.
