Following the potluck, the documentary, " A Sacred Duty, " promoting

vegetarianism, produced by Jewish Vegetarians of North America and

multi-award winning filmmaker, $1 suggested donation for members &

their guests with food; $2 for non-members with food. Add $8 to each

category without food.

Lionel Friedberg, will be presented. The film is a response to

global warming showing how religious responses can make a major

difference and how a plant-based diet is an essential part of any

effort to reduce global climate change and other environmental

threats. It also challenges people to consider the many moral issues

related to our diets. Although it was produced for a Jewish

audience, it speaks to people everywhere about the ethics of our

relationship to the natural world in which we live. SFVS does not

endorse any religion but the documentary also contains secular

interviews and information relevant to our environment.

Dan Brook, Ph.D., sociology instructor at San Jose State University,

and SFVS member, will make a presentation before and after the film.

 

Thanks
