This month, CJFE had the privilege of participating in the ¡ªan inspiring gathering of advocates and professionals from around the world, all working to imagine a better future for people, animals, and the planet through transformative food practices.
In addition to speaking on an interfaith panel--alongside experts representing Unitarian Universalism, Buddhism, and Islam--we were honored to host a Friday night Shabbat gathering. You can read about the weekend on LinkedIn. |
|
| Shabbat is a tradition rooted in rest, reflection, and the sacred act of imagining the world not simply as it is, but as it could and should be: more sustainable, peaceful, and just. Holding space for that vision alongside fellow changemakers was a powerful moment for our team to show up as Jewish leaders in a global movement, grounded in tradition and guided by hope.
If you believe in the power of Jewish wisdom to transform our food systems and build a more just world, now is a great time to . |

We are especially grateful to long-time member Bev Rich, also a vice president of the Boston Vegetarian Society, for her leadership in keeping food ethics central to our work.¡± ¡ª Deb Nam-Krane, Co-President JCAN-MA |

Please
join Humanity Through Education in educating Rodeo patrons that animal abuse is not acceptable and
should not be considered entertainment.
The
foundation of Rodeo ¡°entertainment¡± is causing animals fear and pain and making
sport of their desire to escape. The only reason and violently buck and kick is because of the
pain caused by the bucking strap. In the case of the bulls the strap is cinched
tightly across his penis. A ban on bucking straps would kill the rodeo as
bucking horses and bulls are the main rodeo events.?
Other
cruel events include and ¡°steer
wrestling.¡± Please stand with us against this cruelty.

Chinese Vegetarian Duck (ËØѼ)
I¡¯ve never had real duck.? I never wanted to, long before I stopped eating animals.? Kosher duck wasn¡¯t common, thankfully.? The one time I was offered it as a kid, I was a hard no, stating I see them in the park, so I¡¯m not eating them!
I can¡¯t imagine this dish tastes anything like actual ducks.? I love it in places like Nature in Oakland.? Something about the crispy tofu sheets¡I like it when it has water chestnut bits in the savory mushroom filling. ?
This recipe looks good but a lot of work.

Dear Valued Customers and Partners,
?
Thank you for your continued support and belief in Whole Harvest¡¯s mission. Over the past few years, your enthusiasm has inspired us every step of the way.
?
We¡¯ve always taken pride in doing things differently¡ªno co-packers, no preservatives, no shortcuts. But maintaining that standard within a nationwide delivery model has become increasingly unsustainable due to rising costs and logistical challenges. And we¡¯ve never been willing to compromise on our values.
?
After much reflection, we¡¯ve made the difficult decision to bring the Whole Harvest meal delivery service to a permanent close. Our final shipments will leave our culinary center on Tuesday, May 27.
?
What This Means for You:
? Final Order Deadline:? One-time orders will be accepted through Thursday, May 22, 2025, at 11:59 PM.
? Subscription Processing:? Active, unpaused subscriptions will process their final orders on Friday, May 23, 2025.
? Subscription Cancellations:? After May 23, all subscriptions will be automatically canceled. No action is needed on your part¡ªno further charges or orders will be processed.
? Delivery Schedule:? All final orders will be delivered during the week of May 26, 2025.
?
? Customer Support:Our support team will remain available at hello@... through June 13, 2025 to assist with any questions or concerns.
?
We¡¯re deeply grateful to you¡ªour subscribers, one-time customers, and supporters¡ªfor being part of this journey. Whether you¡¯ve been with us from the beginning or just recently discovered Whole Harvest, your trust and encouragement have meant everything to us.
?
Thank you for being part of our journey. We wish you all the best!
?
With gratitude,
The Whole Harvest Team |
