Listening keeps the door open.It's not your job to change someone... just plant a seed of possibility.Those aware of the suffering have to work harder to balance emotional well-being. Despair can be debilitating.Our immune and nervous systems weren't built to know and manage everything going on in the world.Understand you can't save all the animals, but you can save SOME.It might seem like we can't do anything to help, but 99% of the time, we can do something.

He has spent his life dedicated to a variety of important missions: furthering interfaith dialogue, pursuing justice and peace, and promoting veganism and healthy living. He held many significant roles throughout his career. He served as AJC’s International Director of Interreligious Affairs and Special Advisor to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi. He headed the International Jewish Committee for Inter-religious Consultations (IJCIC), the broad-based coalition of Jewish organizations and denominations that represents World Jewry in its relations with other world religions. He was the senior rabbi of the largest Orthodox Jewish congregation in South Africa (the Green and Sea Point Hebrew Congregation, Cape Town) and served as a judge on the Cape Beth Din (rabbinic court). He is also a board member of the Brussels-based organization CEJI - A Jewish Contribution to an Inclusive Europe that promotes a Europe of diversity and respect. He was Chief Rabbi of Ireland before relocating permanently to Israel in 1985. He was Dean at the Sapir Center for Jewish Education and Culture in the Old City of Jerusalem and became Professor of Jewish Studies at the Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies. He also served as the Anti Defamation League’s Director of Interfaith Relations in Israel, ADL’s co-liaison to the Vatican, and Director of the ADL Israel office.  He is a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.Rabbi David Rosen's website The Juicy Bits: Kosher laws may reduce suffering but there is STILL suffering and cruelty.If you are benefitting from something you wouldn't want to do yourself, then is it right to benefit from that same action when others do it for you?"There's enough food for human need, but not enough for human greed."Environmental problems can feel overwhelming. While recycling and not wasting are good, nothing compares to the impact of going vegan.Animal product consumption is a drug!The garden of Eden is portrayed in the book of Genesis as the ideal society. Adam and Eve are given all the vegetation they could need to survive and procreate.We should strive to the degree we're able to live as good a life as we can. The less destruction, pain, and suffering we cause, the healthier we and the environment will be.It is difficult to live a modern life and be completely free of connection to exploitation. But we should try our best.The problem with animal agriculture isn't JUST THE SLAUGHTER. It's everything leading up to it -- how animals are treated, force fed, confined, and transported.Dominion DOES NOT MEAN that animals were created for humans to exploit.If you don't care about the environment and the well-being of humanity and all sentient life, then you are not truly honoring God as creator of the universe.Rabbi's favorite foods: vegan shakshuka with tofu, mushrooms, and falafel; silken tofu lemon cheesecake; and avocado mousse.We're in this world for very little time and we've got to do as much good as we can and tread as lightly as we can, and create more love and compassion than there was previously. We can do all this many ways but the most impactful way is by going vegan. **The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for generalinformational purposes only.

It has received millions of views online, and is credited with inspiring thousands, maybe millions, of people to go vegan. He has been arrested, imprisoned, and banned from several countries as a result of his activism, which includes liberating 1,542 mink from a Canadian fur farm. ⁠GARY'S FAMOUS SPEECH⁠ - https://youtu.be/uxhL2lsgokY?si=KiYt6-Ggb42EfBcH⁠ Gary's website⁠ - https://www.adaptt.org/index.html⁠ Gary's Instagram⁠ - https://www.instagram.com/realgaryyourofsky/⁠https://www.sashafarm.org ⁠⁠Steve Cutts video⁠ - https://youtu.be/WfGMYdalClU ⁠Menkay cartoon reel⁠ - https://www.instagram.com/reels/DRfVDFLjH3-/ The Juicy Bits: Enjoy the health and environmental benefits that veganism offers, but go vegan for the animals. It feels so good removing your self from the exploitation.It's ok to be ignorant because of society programs us, but once you know, don't fight it. Go vegan.Vegetarians are still supporting dairy... which is the most tragic aspect of the animal agriculture industry. It's got to be full vegan.Speciesism is the nastiest form of racism -- it's prioritizing humans over animals.If you eat meat, dairy, eggs, and fish, you are paying for rape, slavery, and a holocaust.The reason there are so many animals on the planet is because of the animal agriculture industry. If they were set free and had only days, months, or a year left, it would be worth it to be out of captivity.As soon as kids can comprehend words, they need to learn the truth and not live in fantasyland where they are uninformed and programmed to believe lies. Kids love animals and would be horrified to know they're eating them. Kids can handle the truth.There are no laws against animal cruelty, otherwise there would be no factory farms, circuses, rodeos, or animals in research.Cage-free and buying local doesn't eliminate exploitation and slavery. They might not be living in chains or close quarters, but they certainly don't have their freedom.**The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for general informational purposes only.

With a PhD in neuroendocrinology and cell biology, he is the Director of Health Education for the National Health Association, and Science and Research Director for The Complementary Medical Association in the UK. He's the author of Weightless: Compassionate weight loss for life. Dr. Frank's ocean retreats Dr. Frank's Instagram Dr. Frank's website The Juicy Bits: A chiropractor is less drug-driven than a traditional doctor. Dr. Frank is science-driven and is focused on removing the obstacle to optimal health.The whole mentality of the medical profession is counter to how the body works. The symptom is not THE PROBLEM, rather, it's the way the body manifests its own approach to recovery.Doctors are not healthcare providers... they are disease managers.Acute medical issues are things like infections and broken bones that need to be addressed immediately. Chronic degenerative issues have lot of contributing factors, so taking a pill for a migraine doesn't address the root cause. There are many solutions to the problem.It's not about being good or bad, it's about evolution, growth, and change, and the process of owning out choices and improving our health.Spirituality is about asking, "How do you choices affect the bigger picture?"As much as 80-85% of food grown goes to feed animals, (not humans), which provide only about 15% of the world's calories. It take 100 times more land to produce 1 pound of animal protein than it does plant protein. All of this inefficiency leads to horrific food insecurity. About 25,000 people (including 10,000 children) die every single day of hunger. Empathy, compassion, and love are fundamental to who we are as a species. Unfortunately, conditioning shapes our beliefs about compassion and forces us away from our innate feelings.Colors in food have emotional vibration. The vibratory qualities of what we're putting in our bodies daily impact our physical and emotional health.Carnivores (who've evolved to eat that way) have the shortest lifespans. Herbivores, like elephants and hippos, have the longest lifespans.Genes are coding proteins. Epigenetics are lifestyle behaviors that affect genes, proving that genes can be modified by our choices.Medicine, science, and spirituality are actually all connected.Dr. Frank's favorite foods: Buddha bowls with rice, beans, vegetables, tahini, and lemon juice; fresh fruit; salads; steamed potatoes and quinoa; fruit juice with sparkling water; nuts and seeds.**The information provided on this podcast does not, and is not intended to constitute legal or medical advice; all information, content, and material on this site are for generalinformational purposes only.
