Celebrate Passover, A Holiday About Freedom!

Who’s excited about Passover? I know I am!

Passover is a Jewish holiday about the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. It is a celebration of dignity, hope, and freedom. Prayers said on Passover call on us to be kind to those who are now oppressed and to deepen our commitment to liberty today. Animals on factory farms are oppressed and denied their freedom, so this is a good time to make a commitment to helping them win it by going vegan. My favorite vegan Passover recipe—Sweet Potato Kugel—is a delicious way to get started!

 

Sweet Potato Kugel

From No Cholesterol Passover Recipes by Debra Wasserman and Charles Stahler, provided by Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG.org).

2 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
1 cup fruit juice or water

  • Mix ingredients together. Press into a baking dish and bake at 375ºF for 45 minutes, until crisp on top.

    I do accept as true with all of the ideas you’ve offered in your post. They’re really convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too quick for starters. May you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thanks for the post.

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
