#petlove

Whether they bark, purr, chirp, or squeak — pets fill our lives with love, laughter, and the occasional mess (we forgive them).

This is Aneirin. He always posed so well for photos.

Judaism doesn’t just allow pets—it calls us to care for them with compassion and responsibility.

From feeding them before ourselves (Talmud, Berachot 40a) to the mitzvah of preventing animal suffering (tza’ar ba’alei chayim), our tradition sees animals as part of the moral universe.

While pets don’t have a neshama like humans, they have a nefesh—a sacred life-force. And the way we treat them says something about the kind of Jews we are.

In caring for them, we fulfill a piece of our divine mission.
