Hi creffett, this is very troubling, since I am the organizer of the Trefa Banquet 2.0 and there was some major misinformation about it (I just found out about this entry now even though the event was two years ago. I posted the podcast on which I was a guest and which I felt explained the true intention of it but it has been removed. Most of the articles about it got wrong who it was for and the why behind it. It was not a group of Reform Jews as Wikipedia had it (if you read any of the articles that you have listed as sources, they all say it was for Jewish chefs and food producers, in a group called The Illuminoshi, which I founded. There happened to be a few Reform rabbis there, which the media picked up on but the event was not at all intended for them. They were invited as guest of members of the group but obviously a rabbi giving a blessing over pork is sensationalist and therefore it got a lot of play in the media. I got such angry hate mail after this happened and it offended so many people, so I’d like any mention of it to take into account my point of view and why I did it. Saying it was intended for a group of Reform Jews is a very different thing than for a group of Jewish chefs. If you read any of the sources listed there, I am quoted as the organizer in all of them, but only the podcast link I added gets it right. Thanks for reading.
