Why did Newsweek name Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz as one of the top fifty rabbis in America and The Forward Podcast describe him as one of the most 50 influential Jews? Could it be because Rabbi Shmuly is an impressive driving force for veganism within the Jewish community? You’ll find out when you check out how he promotes veganism on our next Vegan Spirituality Online Gathering!

​Rabbi Shmuly is the President & Dean of the Valley Beit Midrash, the Founder & President of Uri L’Tzedek, the Founder and CEO of The Shamayim V’Aretz Institute and the author of ten books on Jewish ethics. The Shamayim V'Aretz Institute puts animal welfare on the Jewish Agenda by educating leaders, training advocates, and leading campaigns for the ethical treatment of animals. The Institute advocates for a kosher plant based diet to achieve a more ethical, spiritual, and healthy way of living. It provides community, resources, tools, and recipes to empower others to embrace kosher veganism.

Rabbi Shmuly tells us how he advocates for animals within the Jewish community during our next Vegan Spirituality Online Gathering on Thursday, April 13, 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. PST (8:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. EST).
