As veganism grows worldwide, all sorts of Jews and Israelis are joining the movement. Rabbi Robyn Fryer Bodzin, the new associate rabbi at Beth Tzedec, joins in-studio to discuss her personal path to veganism and how it figures into a Jewish lifestyle. Also: a discussion of Spain's new right of return for Sephardic Jews, and parsing Conservative leader Andrew Scheer's foreign-policy stance towards Israel and Palestine.

The Canadian Jewish Shmooze is hosted by Michael Fraiman and Alex Rose, and edited by Michael Fraiman. Our intro music is by Vanya Zhuk, and our outro music is by Latché Swing. Like The CJN Podcast Network on Facebook and follow us on Twitter. Find Rabbi Robyn Fryer Bodzin on Twitter here.
