Eat food from sustainable sources
There are 613 mitzvot (commandments from God) that all Jews are supposed to follow. Some of them are easy to understand and apply to modern day life, while others seem antiquated and irrelevant. We invite you to ponder the 613 rules and to submit your own (re)interpretation of what they mean to us today. More about this project

a remix of Mitzvah 4 by KendraCommit public resources in moderation to rewarding the Ruler and the Hangers On and to the armed forces alike. No good servant should be tempted too much, no matter how reasonable the basic thrust of their request.
a remix of Mitzvah 584 by KendraAlways pursue peace. If you are injured, first, protect yourself against further injury. Then, _when they are of like mind_, seek reconciliation and redress with those who wronged you. If you cannot have redress, do not accept substitutes.

picking one of the 613 mitzvot to remixAbout (RE)velation:
We are collecting text and audio "remixes" of the 613 mitzvot for an art piece which will debut at DAWN, a special event at grand opening of the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco.
Your submission will be a part of the installation of this piece, where the mitzvot will be displayed along side their remixes to create an interactive environment of contemplation, interpretation, and understanding.
