Synagogue Vegan Challenge
This is the 5th year of the Synagogue Vegan Challenge, a program developed by Shamayim: Jewish Animal Advocacy, and with 11 synagogues, including Beth El, it is the largest cohort yet.
Over the next year, selected synagogues will host monthly events within their communities that serve vegan food and provide education about the Jewish, ethical, environmental, and health reasons for eating plant-based. This annual program, generously sponsored by VegFund, brings veganism to Jewish communities across the country through a friendly, food-based approach. Thanks to Susan Witkowski for spearheading this program to Beth El and for obtaining the $2,000 grant to support plant based programming.
