About this event

What does it look like to build a Jewish home where compassion for animals, commitment to Jewish values, and joyful family life all come together? Join Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz and his 13-year-old daughter, Amiella, for a unique father-daughter conversation about raising - and being raised in - a Jewish vegan family. Together, they will share personal stories, practical insights, and lessons learned from creating a home grounded in kindness, learning, hospitality, and purpose. Through an intergenerational dialogue, they will explore how Jewish teachings can inspire ethical food choices, how families can engage children in meaningful conversations about values and responsibility, and how veganism can become a natural expression of Jewish compassion. They will also discuss the joys and challenges of cultivating a home that is intellectually curious, welcoming to guests, and full of warmth, humor, and delicious food. Whether you are vegan, vegan-curious, or simply interested in raising children with a strong moral compass, this session will offer inspiration for building a Jewish family culture that is thoughtful, loving, and deeply connected to both tradition and the future. Come hear from a father and daughter who are navigating this journey together - one Shabbat meal, one conversation, and one act of compassion at a time.
