Campaigns
We encourage reframing the custom and turning it into a life-giving, rather than a life-taking custom by donating the money from your kapparos to an animal-advocacy organization.
Orthodox Rabbis join the Shamayim campaign to end factory farming and call upon their communities to reduce their animal product intake.
Through our Egg-Free Challah Program, you can commit your synagogue, Hillel, or other community organization to baking vegan challah at least once a month, reducing both water usage and reliance on animal products with minimal effort.
