ABOUT THE BOOK:
>From God's first injunction -- "Behold, I have given you every herb yielding
seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is
the fruit of a tree yielding seed -- to you it shall be for food." (Gen.
1:29) -- the Hebrew Bible offers countless examples of how God intends a
compassionate and caring attitude toward animals, our health, and the health
of the planet.  This attitude, as Richard Schwartz shows in his pioneering
work now fully revised, has been a constant theme throughout Judaism to the
present day.

Indeed, Judaism's particular concern for tikkun olam, a healing of the world
hunger, environmental degradation, and the horror of factory farms.  Dr.
Schwartz shows not only how Judaism is particularly well suited to solving
these problems but how doing so can revitalize one's Jewish faith.

"It is to be hoped that this major publication will not only adorn the
bookshelf of many a Jewish home, but will also become a guide to an
ever-increasing movement of Jews toward vegetarianism, born out of sincere
religious conviction rooted in our most sublime teachings."
~David Rosen, former Chief Rabbi of Ireland

"In his scholarly and thoughtful style, Richard Schwartz demonstrates the
profound imperatives at the heart of the Jewish faith that lead inexorably in
a vegetarian direction."
~John Robbins; author, Diet for a New America

"Richard Schwartz is changing the world.  You do not have to be a Jew to read
and enjoy Judaism and Vegetarianism.  Richard has brilliantly written a most
fascinating book, no matter what your religion.  I found it to be one of the
best books I've ever read."
~Howard F. Lyman, President, EarthSave International;
author, Mad Cowboy

"It would be hard for anyone ethically sensitive -- Jew
or non-Jew -- to read this book and not take up the vegetarian cause."
~Paul Peaboy, Fellowship (Fellowship of Reconciliation).
