Vegetarian-Based Shabbat
We were contacted by the Jewish Vegetarians of North America recently to explain a movement in which the organization is urging synagogues and Jewish institutions to support next weekend’s annual Vegetarian Shabbat.
The group stated that a shift to plant-based diets would also best apply fundamental Jewish mandates which include:
- To take care of your health
- Treat animal compassionately
- Protect the environment
- Conserve natural resources
- Help hungry people
