Today’s episode opens with my reading a historic pro-vegan statement just signed by 75 rabbis encouraging Jews everywhere to move toward a vegan lifestyle. And more rabbis are coming forward to add their names to the list! This momentous occurrence is the result of the dedicated work of JewishVeg.org, a wonderful organization that deserves the support and praise of people of all faiths who care about animal rights, human health, and the fate of the planet.

Then we’re joined by . . .
