Yom Huledet Sameach, heebnvegan!

It's been three years and roughly 25,000 hits since I started heebnvegan. As has become a tradition, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all the "heebnvegan faithful" who read, comment on, and suggest ideas for this blog. Thank you to the other J-blogs that are doing such a great job of covering Jewish food issues (particularly Failed Messiah and The Jew & The Carrot). Last but not least, thank you to Boris Dolin and Jenny Goldberg for their guest posts about ShalomVeg.com and Passover, respectively.

Here are some of the highlights from the last year in Jewish-vegan news:

• Kapporos Cruelty and Possible Consumer Fraud Exposed (August 25)
• Hekhsher Tzedek's Animal Welfare Guidelines (August 3)
