VeggieJews is an international organization dedicated to providing a support group for Jewish vegetarians and vegans and projecting vegetarian, vegan and animal rights consciousness into the Jewish community. Thanks to volunteers, the group can offer social events in local communities and college campuses as well as online news, opinions, recipes and activist alerts. We also offer several ways to put "tsedakah" (good deeds, charity) into action with a speakers' bureau, veggie cooking demonstration panel and the Tsedakah Brigade, our animal rights activist wing. As a Yahoo Group, VeggieJews offers members the ability to easily communicate online with each other. We are not a singles or religious group, but single and observant people are always welcome to participate as are Jews of all ages and our non-Jewish friends. Membership is free.

For posting guidelines, policies,recipes and other veggie information, click on the "files" link in the yellow box on this page. Click on "database" for networking and "calendar" for upcoming VeggieJews' events and Jewish holidays.

If you wish to receive news, information, discussions and general notices of events, you can choose to receive either individual e-mails or a daily digest of each day's posts in a single e-mail. Or, if you prefer, you can choose to receive only special notices of official VeggieJews' events.

Welcome to VeggieJews,
