What a busy few months it has been! In May we hosted our 52nd Annual General Meeting. A big thank you to Ori Shavit, who joined us live from Israel via Skype to talk about her role in building the vegan movement as well as the many fantastic developments in Israel, see vegansontop.co.il to find out more about Ori. We were also joined by Gavin Fernback who spoke about his personal journey to veganism, and how he veganised his London café The Fields Beneath, which you can read all about on page 13 We were delighted to secure a double page spread in the Jewish Chronicle newspaper during National Vegetarian Week, in which I shared my top tips for going veggie, see page 10 for more. Recently the JVS Board met Jeffrey Cohan, Director of Jewish Veg in the US, who is a regular contributor to this magazine. We look forward to collaborating with Jewish Veg in the future on joint projects – watch this space. We were also very excited to partner with ProVeg, a campaigning group which has just launched in the UK, Germany, Spain & Poland. Together, we co-hosted Holocaust survivor and JVS Patron Dr. Alex Hershaft, which you can read about on page 4. See page 6 for details of upcoming events. As always, we love hearing from you. Please do get in touch with us via [email protected] with ideas you have for this magazine, and for our events.
