Go vegan for Tu B’Shevat!

We’re wishing you and yours a joyful, plant-powered Tu B’Shevat, Chag Sameach! חַג שָׂמֵחַ

Tu B’Shevat, the environmentally-focused Jewish holiday celebrating the new year of the trees, is the perfect time to start your plant-based journey or to inspire someone in your life to start theirs! It’s been argued that Tu B’Shevat is the most vegan of all Jewish holidays, because of the many connections to plant-based themes and concepts.

Here are some resources that connect Tu B’Shevat to plant based eating:
