What's Jewish About Veg?
Let's explore the connections between the Torah, Jewish ethics, and great Jewish philosophers concerning the treatment of and care for animals and our planet. We'll discuss the first-ever vegans (hint: check Genesis), why humans were granted permission to eat meat, what a plant-based future looks like according to both science and our prophets, and plenty more. There will be time for questions at the end.
