PLEASE help save the Israeli Jewish Vegetarian Society! It must not

disappear!

undisclosed-recipients:;

 

Shalom

 

I am writing you in the hope that you will express an interest in helping

reestablish and revitalize the Israeli Jewish Vegetarian Society (JVS). You do

not have to be an Israeli (or even Jewish) to help do this.

 

Because it has not been active for some time, the JVS, a non-profit

organization, has been closed down by governmental authorities.

 

We have the possibility now with new and active people, including me, and with

more cooperation by the Jewish Vegetarian Society of England, as well as from

Israeli vegetarian leader Dan Arbel, of reestablishing the Society. The

Authorities will agree to permit the JVS to function again if 80 or more people

sign the form below indicating an interest in being a member of JVS and send it

to Dan Arbel. If we get enough people to sign, the authorities will agree to

allow us to continue our operation. Membership dues will be nominal and

relatively low.

 

At this time, when a shift toward vegetarianism is increasingly important for

health, humane, environmental and other reasons, I think it is very important

that there be an active, functioning JVS in Israel. Once it is reestablished,

there would be meetings, lectures, a periodic newsletter, a letter writing

campaign, outreach efforts, approaches to try to educate Israelis and others

about the many benefits of vegetarianism and the many Jewish teachings that are

most consistent with vegetarianism, and much more. A JVS advisory committee

would be set up to help make the JVS operate as effectively as possible.

 

So, please copy the form below and mail it or fax it to Dan Arbel. His contact

information is below the form. People outside of Israel can use their passport

number as their identity number.

 

Please pass this information on to others who might be interested.

 

Many thanks, and best wishes for a joyous, kosher Passover,
