Religion has a huge impact on the way the world views animals. Judaism, for example, has many powerful teachings on social justice and encourages compassionate choices to heal the planet. With the right knowledge and approach, we can apply these values to help animals.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion with renowned Jewish writer, Richard Schwartz, author of Who Stole My Religion?, a new book which explores this important topic on Thursday, June 9, 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. PDT (8:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. EDT). Participate by phone or online as we explore the spirituality of veganism with co-hosts “Peace to All Beings” author Judy Carman and In Defense of Animals’ Sustainable Activism Campaign Director Lisa Levinson.
