Chicken soup, brisket, and gefilte fish are hallmarks of traditional Jewish cuisine and so the idea of plant based eating may seem countercultural, almost anti-Jewish to many Jews . Using both traditional and modern texts, come explore how one family’s evolving understanding of their Jewish values has led them to adopt a plant based diet and has helped them bring meaning and holiness to every meal. The goal of this session is not to convince anyone to adopt a vegan diet but to encourage a discussion of how we make our food choices and how aligning those choices with our values can elevate the eating experience.
