Jewish Initiative for Animals (JIFA): Aligning our food choices with our Jewish values.

[JIFA @JIFAnimals]

Virtually all kosher chickens, cattle, and fish suffer the worst abuses of #factoryfarming, and everyone pays the price.

It’s time to reckon with the impacts of our food choices. Is this way of farming and eating truly #kosher?

A major #DefaultVeg success!
We'd love to see more Jewish institutions and organizations see this type of success. Let's work together and grow JIFA's network of #DefaultVeg partners in 5784!

So, why did we release our Annual Report in August?

Because JIFA's organizational calendar is now following the Jewish calendar and we are coming up on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year!

Take a look at what we've accomplished in 5782-5783. https://t.co/C7wfanpiKm

People who follow a plant-based diet account for 75% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than those who eat more than 3.5 ounces of meat a day, according to new research. A vegan diet also results in significantly less harm to land, water and biodiversity. https://t.co/7r4oGIgDl8

We asked Sab Katz, low-waste vegan Jewess & co-founder of @isxenviro,
"How do your food choices enhance your connection to Judaism?"
Read her full response over on our Instagram!

Exciting #DefaultVeg news: 450+ students voted to lobby University of Kent catering facilities to switch to plant-based menus.
Institutional food policies like this can positively impact animals, people, & our planet.

Shabbat shalom from our flock to yours!
This Shabbat is a great opportunity to learn more about the lives of chickens considered "food animals".
Even kosher chicken's spent their short lives in factory farms. They deserve better.

Intensive confinement of genetically compromised birds creates the perfect breeding ground for deadly global pandemics. Ending industrial poultry farming is the single greatest action we could take to reduce the risk. Take the pledge: https://t.co/IJvC0gx7Ov

Read more on this new ruling, & the deeper conversation it leads us to, in our latest article.

[JIFA @JIFAnimals]

Have you heard that the Committee on Jewish Law & Standards issued a nearly unanimous ruling permitting Jews to eat in vegan/vegetarian restaurants even if they're not under rabbinic supervision?

[JIFA @JIFAnimals]

This progressive decision brings us to a larger question: in the face of the widespread harm caused by industrial animal agriculture, in what ways can Judaism promote more sustainable & ethical eating?

[JIFA @JIFAnimals]

Question for our community: How does your Jewish practice enhance your connection to food?

[JIFA @JIFAnimals]

Wishing you a wonderful first Shab-baaa-t of the summer!
