ISBN: 0870687565
Book Description:
This is a pioneering work that advocates vegetarianism based on strong Jewish mandates related to health, compassion for animals, and sharing with hungry people.
It includes a brief, yet comprehensive overview on Judaism and vegetarianism, and it includes recipes and tips on switching to a vegetarian diet.
Is vegetarianism practical? Is it healthy? Is it based on sound moral principles embodied in the Bible and other writings? This book says "YES" and backs its point of view with many references to religious and scientific sources. According to the author's research, the sages agree that man was created as a vegetarian and that in the time of the Messiah, man will return to vegetarianism.
