OK, I'm confused. If honey from bees is considered an animal by-product, then what about things pollinated... wouldn't they be from the same type of by-product??

I'm thrilled to see vegan cooking featured here! It's such a great solution for healthy kosher kitchens!

Yum! I love these recipes! Thank you SO much for publishing them. As a Jewish vegan, it makes my heart sing to see these recipes on chabad.org. As Ms. Atlas gracefully notes, a vegan diet is indeed wonderfully healthy, and it is also good for the health of others. Surely Rav Kook would have agreed! Production of vegetables, grains, beans, nuts and fruits causes much less pollution, and can feed many more people, than production of meat and dairy. A vegan diet is a diet of lovingkindness towards other creatures with whom we share G-d's sacred creation. Thank you again for publishing these recipes - please publish more!

Thank you for your veganism Nava. Compassion for all animals is the pinnacle of Judaism, as has been so well stated by the man who left an earlier blog, Richard Schwartz, in his work, and so many others. Thank you for your wonderful work Richard Schwartz. I'm a big fan of yours. May we follow your virtuous lead and bring Judaism to its full (compassionate) potential.

I would love to see some vegan and vegetarian recipes for Pesach---it is so hard to get variety and know what to do for protein during pesach.

We thought we must be the only vegan Jewish family around - how great to see these recipes featured on here! Yummy cake. And I want to make the soup tonight!
Honey is an animal product like milk - produced from the body of the animal. Pollinated items, apples, for instance, are somewhat like plowing a field with an ox and a plow. The vegetables in that field are still vegetarian - they contain no animal products. Therefore they are vegan. Not 100% of vegans consider honey to be animal product, but generally they do.

I have known that there are lots of vegan and vegetarian Jews for many years, and I think these blogs prove to you that there is a big Jewish demand for vegetarian and vegan information. There are lots of Jewish vegans and vegetarians. There are lots of Jews who want to live compassionately, to treat animals with compassion, and we do that by being vegetarians and vegans. So please keep posting vegetarian and vegan information for the increasing number of Jewish vegans and vegetarians. Thank you very much.

I understand the concept of your analogy, about the plowing, but I don't necessarily agree. An ox doesn't wake up in the morning and begin to plow on its own (although I've known a few that would hook themselves up and start on their own if they could).
Honey Bees exist to pollinate and make honey, and they couldn't possibly consume all of their honey themselves, if they ever actually consume it at all. We would all die of starvation without pollination. And the honey bees would all die if they didn't make honey.
My desire here is to understand veganism, as I have vegan friends, and they don't always seem to agree on such subjects. I guess I'll just have to be confused.
Thank you for your time, Tina. And thank you Nava and Chabad.org for the great recipes.

Vegans don't all do exactly the same thing. All people who define themselves as "vegan" want to eliminate animal byproducts from their diets, but some might do that a little more stringently than others, considering some things to be acceptable or unacceptable while others do not. And as time progresses, people often gradually become more or less stringent. So the best thing you can do is ask the person you want to cook for if their personal definition of "vegan" allows for the products you want to include. Thank you for trying so hard. Your consideration is admirable.

I make challah every friday using a tablespoon of flaxseed and a tablespoon and a half of water, also silk soy milk is OU kosher as are some other non-brand name soy milks. it only takes slight adjustment to a dish to make it vegan (unless it's gefelte fish or steak).

Thai Coconut soup sounds great, the only question i have is where do you buy kosher coconut milk and kosher Thai red curry paste? I've searched all over the place and can't find it. Maybe I'm lookig in the wrong places.
