Advocating for Animals

Kindness to Living Things

Showing compassion to animals is a mitzvah, tza'ar ba'alei chayim. Read these books aloud during Animal Rights Awareness Week and discover ways to practice this value.

Protect the Bees

For a tiny animal, bees make a giant contribution to Jewish traditions, like honey for Rosh Hashanah and flowers for the Shabbat table.
