What does it look like to build a Jewish home where compassion for animals, commitment to Jewish values, and joyful family life all come together?
Join Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz and his 13-year-old daughter, Amiella, for a unique father-daughter conversation about raising - and being raised in - a Jewish vegan family. Together, they will share personal stories, practical insights, and lessons learned from creating a home grounded in kindness, learning, hospitality, and purpose.
Through an intergenerational dialogue, they will explore how Jewish teachings can inspire ethical food choices, how families can engage children in meaningful conversations about values and responsibility, and how veganism can become a natural expression of Jewish compassion. They will also discuss the joys and challenges of cultivating a home that is intellectually curious, welcoming to guests, and full of warmth, humor, and delicious food.
Whether you are vegan, vegan-curious, or simply interested in raising children with a strong moral compass, this session will offer inspiration for building a Jewish family culture that is thoughtful, loving, and deeply connected to both tradition and the future.
Come hear from a father and daughter who are navigating this journey together - one Shabbat meal, one conversation, and one act of compassion at a time.

Disclaimer: Shamayim: Jewish Animal Advocacy does not support the consumption of honey. This is because of the ethical implications. The first issue surrounding honey is the amount of effort it takes bees to produce. Some estimates suggest it takes one bee a whole lifetime to produce just one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey – considering the number of honey products available in any given supermarket, and the drastically declining number of bees worldwide, this seems like an unfair trade.
Beyond the effort it takes, large-scale honey production is usually not done with bees’ interests in mind. Some ethical issues which the Vegan Society identifies include:
- Clipping the wings of Queen bees to prevent them from leaving a hive and artificially inseminating them
- Selectively breeding bees to increase productivity, which narrows the gene pool and leaves whole hives susceptible to diseases which they might not have any immunity to
- Replacing honey made in a hive with a sugar substitute which is not as nutritious for bees to eat
- Culling whole beehives post-harvest to keep farming costs down

A D'var Torah for Parashat Chukat. This week's parsha gives several examples of the relations animals have with humans: purifying them, harming them, killing them, and healing them. But any relationship goes two ways, and the interactions must be considered quantifiably and qualitatively. We weigh humanity's treatment of animals on the scales of justice in this week's dvar Torah.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Korach. In this week's parsha, a rebellion takes place against Moses and Aaron's leadership. The rebels, lead by Korach, insist that their inherent holiness should keep Moses and Aaron from elevating themselves above them. In our time, the Korachs of the world insist that their inherent freedoms should prevent initiatives the overhaul our food system to a sustainable, plant-based one that will help to mitigate the looming climate catastrophe. The Torah's prioritization of freedom against other values is explored in this dvar Torah.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Shelach Lecha. In this week’s parsha, Moses sends a group of scouts to observe the Promised Land. Only two of them, Caleb & Joshua, report honestly and optimistically - the others cower in fear. Because of their lack of courage, God dooms the entire generation to die in the wilderness while their children will take their place to enter the Promised Land. In our time, the simple steps we need to make for the sake of the future are responded to with fear - will we suffer the same fate as the Israelites?

An interview with Rabbi Dr. Ariel Evan Mayse. Rabbi Mayse is an assistant professor of Religion at Stanford University, and is a leading voice of the Neo-Hasidic movement. We discuss Neo-Hasidism and it's similarities and differences to traditional Hasidism, including it's approaches to Halakha. When limited to the dichotomy of leniency vs stringency, Neo-Hasidism is know for generally lenient views on many matters - but not when it comes to Kashrut and Tsar Baalei Chayim. We discuss Rabbi Mayse's halakhic teachings about animal agriculture and the environment.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Shemini. In this week’s parsha, the Torah outlines which animals are permitted and forbidden from being eaten by the Israelites, concluded with a Divine statement that "You shall be holy, for I am holy." We explore that, despite the reluctant permissions of certain animals to be eaten, this holiness descends from what is not eaten, rather than what is.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Tsav. In this week's portion, the sacrifices introduced last week are continued, and Aaron and his sons are ordained as the priests of the Israelites. And yet, there are several fascinating verses between these two narratives that give us incredible insight into the Torah's attitudes towards animal consumption.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayakhel-Pekudei. After an entire book of God giving again and again to the Israelites, the Book of Exodus concludes with the Israelites finally giving in return. The gift they give in return is shockingly simple, and yet, there is so much to learn in our time from this small gesture by the Israelites after all that God has done for them.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Tetzaveh. We Jews may find ourselves asking - what does the Torah want from us anyway? This week's parsha offers us an answer from an unlikely topic: Animal Sacrifices. Parashat Tetzaveh focuses heavily on the priestly order instituted in the Torah, as well as some of the earliest commands regarding the sacrificial system - an uncomfortable topic for many contemporary readers, especially folks who eat plant-based. Nevertheless, a discussion between a few Rabbinic Sages may offer fresh insights about sacrifices and what the Torah asks of us.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Yitro. In this week’s parsha, the Israelites receive the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai. Not only are animals given some pretty radical rights here, but there is foreshadowing for next week’s narrative of the golden calf with a warning against idols of silver & idols of gold. We are plagued with some radical worshipers of these idols - Big Agriculture, who exploit animals, undocumented laborers, the small farmers they put out of business, and the American taxpayers who are made to bail out these mega-corporations when they intentionally overproduce. We explore how we can combat them in this week’s Dvar.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Bo. In this week’s parsha, the Israelites are commanded to be reminded of the Exodus with a symbol on the arm and between the eyes: tefillin! Tefillin are somewhat controversial in the Jewish vegan world - but are there options to minimize the impact of this mitzvah? We explore them in this week’s episode.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Shemot. Centuries have passed, and a xenophobic Pharaoh has enslaved the Israelites because he fears them. A loving mother breaks the law, and her “illegal” child grows up and becomes the greatest leader the Jewish people have ever seen. Nevertheless, Moses is an odd choice for numerous reasons - and yet, he is the one chosen to raise his voice to liberate his people.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Miketz. This week’s parsha features the quiet heroism of an unlikely figure - the Pharaoh of Egypt! And no - it’s not the one who you’re probably thinking of. Just as we should detest the cruelty of his successor who enslaved the Israelites, we should celebrate the Pharaoh of late Genesis who makes bold, swift changes in the face of looming environmental disaster.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayayshev. Commentators have wondered for centuries whether Joseph was genuinely righteous, or merely self-righteous. Perhaps his brother’s resentment towards him can teach us how we can best cultivate a welcoming and inviting plant-based movement without drawing resentment from others.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayishlach. This week, Jacob faces his toughest challenge yet - and prevails. He then has his name changed to Israel, meaning literally to have "wrestled with God". In our time, the children of Israel and the rest of humanity face our most daunting opponent in history. How can we follow Jacob's lead and tackle this issue head-on?

A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayaytze. This week, Jacob awakens to the glory of the world around him. We, too, must do the same for all of our world's natural resources, the majesty of God's creation.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Toledot. This week, we see the unnecessary tensions created by the inaction of people with privilege - as well as contrasting approaches taken by different Biblical ancestors.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Vayera. This week, we see two very different sides of Avraham - on one hand, a loving, outspoken prophet; on the other, a dejected, defeated servant. What can we learn from his example in our own advocacy?

A D'var Torah for Parashat Lech Lecha by Kohenet Sarah Tziporah Moser. This week, God commands Abraham and his family to take a leap of faith by going to an unknown place - and are immediately faced with environmental emergency. Having just returned to her home following the Kincade Fire in Northern California, Sarah Tziporah shares how defeating it can be to realize that what was once a paradise is now rejecting the human activity there.

A D'var Torah for Parashat Noach by Alex Weisz. This week, God brokenheartedly decides to start over because of the wickedness, injustice, and corruption of God’s own creation. Having been made in God’s image, we too need to explore when a human creation can no longer be justified - and the emotions that can come with that.
