veganism

Question

Answer

Answered by Yehuda Abadi

Are you insinuating that when Moshiah will come, he will change the Torah. Or the slaughtering of animals and birds in the Torah are "of a vegetation nature". Go ahead, eat as much green as you want. I'm not telling you to eat meat, but PLEASE! Changing what the Torah says can be a very bad habit. The Tzedukim did it, the Conservative and Reform do it all the time, in order to meet their needs. (Many people have to be vegans in order to survive in the non-Jewish world or in their non-religious homes. That is very understandable and commendable. I'm not talking about them) CYA I just to raise an issue regarding the comment that " that in the time of Moshiah all the sacrifices (including the korban Pesah) will be of a vegetation nature.". There is one or two rishonim who claimed exactly this. In the Achronim HaRav Kook z"tzl and Haham Haim David Halevi also held this view (See Mekor Hayim). HaRav Kook brought few proofs including the verse that "Ve"a"ravah LHashem minchat yehuda Veyushalaim Ke-yemeh Olam U-che-shanim Kadmonoiot". The Mincha which a veg. type offering will be offered during Mashiach time.
