Judaism and Vegetarianism Lunch & Learn
Is vegetarianism compatible with Judaism? Is it even better to be a vegetarian? Join us on Thursday, January 20 1:00pm – 2:00pm at the Alpert JCC for a discussion on vegetarianism led by Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz. A vegetarian lunch catered by Blueberry Hill will be provided.
This is part of SoCalJSS’ Torah Winter Learning Event on the Ten Commandments (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=163885103656261) and the lunch will be free of charge. Rabbi Yanklowitz is co-founder of Uri L’Tzedek. This event is organized by SoCal Jewish Student Services. If you have any questions please email rabbi@beachhillel.org

With increasing evidence almost daily that the world is rapidly approaching an unprecedented climate catastrophe and in view of many recent reports showing the very significant contributions of animal-based agriculture to climate change, Beach Hillel can do a great Kiddush Hashem by leading in efforts to get the Jewish community to play a leading role in working for climate stabilization.
