Here's Something You Don't See Every Day

Are you looking for a cruelty-free goose feather quill pen to use for your work as a sofer? Search no longer, sofer, eBay has what you're looking for!

The rabbi selling the pens, who is on the Jewish Vegetarians of North America advisory board, will donate 75 percent of earnings to help Katrina's animal victims. He writes:

If you are Jewish, we want you to help raise your sofer/scribe's consciousness by asking him to use one of these feathers when you get your mezuzzahs or tefillin checked. Why? Because most of the feathers on the market come from factory farms where geese suffer terribly by having tubes shoved down their throats to produce fois gras (force-fed goose liver.) Do you want that kind of ugly energy in your sacred ritual objects? No? Then buy a cruelty-free feather here. (If you want multiple feathers, check out the rest of our auctions.)
