Vegan — The Real Kosher Label?
Share This
What is the real meaning of Kosher? How can food be labeled Kosher when the animal was abused, raped, and had its babies kidnapped before slaughter or producing commercial milk?
Rabbis say Jewish law doesn’t permit crimes of atrocities; so even if there’s a “kosher” way to slaughter an animal, how can it be kosher certified when the entire process of raising the animal to slaughter and stealing its babies is not kosher? Rabbis say those that interpret the law otherwise don’t understand the real meaning and spirit of Judaic law.
Could it be that the only real kosher label is a certified vegan trademark? Or, at the very least, a “cruelty-free” trademark signifying the meat was lab-grown and therefore kind? While BeVeg International executives believe salivating for flesh of any kind does not further a movement of kindness and compassion, there is something to be said about eating food that never suffered.
BeVeg gets into the meat of Judaism and Veganism in two episodes of The Laws That Matter on Jane Unchained News Network with host Carissa Kranz. Listen in for a thought-provoking discussion with the following Jewish thought leaders:
- Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz, the Founder of Shamayim: Jewish Animal Advocacy (the Jewish vegan movement), author of “The Jewish Vegan” and Newsweek’s top 50 Rabbis in America and 50 most influential Jews.
- Dr. Richard Schwartz –President Emeritus, Jewish Vegetarians of North America; Professor at College of Staten Island; Author of Vegan Revolution: Saving Our World, Revitalising Judaism; Judaism and Vegetarianism; Judaism and Global Survival; President, Society for Ethical and Religious Vegetarians (SERV): Associate producer of A SACRED DUTY and more.
- Rabbi Jonathan Klein, Faith Action for Animals founder
- Jeffrey Spitz Cohan, Jewish Veg Executive Director
