The Four Noble Truths are not any religion at all. They are a methodology: 1. to understand the problem; 2. to realize the origination of the problem; 3. to cease the problem only if the origination of the problem is ceased; 4. to establish the procedure and path to cease the origination of the problem; 5. to practice the right path to cease the problem; 6. to liberate from the problem. There are no formal prerequisites and the classes are free. Let's explore the original teachings of the histor …

I am a vegan and I am an outdoors person. I love sleeping under the stars in the middle of nowhere and hanging out by a fire grilling vegetables.

I love to hike, mountaineer, raft, ice climb, backpack, cross-country ski, you name it and I want to meet other vegans and vegetarians who share my love for ad …

Here are the facts as discrete as possible (reference links on the bottom): We believe our everyday food is inefficient. Energy production/cost efficiency ---e.g. less than 1% of the consumed energy in production of beef is actually produces the final product) ---This also applies to most most farm plant foods. Time consumption ---It takes more than a year for one cow to mature for consumption. Social norms should be reevaluated. -- Anything can be eaten as long as its benefit/harm is scient …

This is a group that has been long in the making, a group for Russian Jewish expats, children of Russian Jewish expats, or Russian speakers who are Jewish in identity and culture, but perhaps minimally in practice. In my movement through the American Jewish world, it has become very clear that the Russian Jewish identity is complex and difficult to translate even when language is no longer a barrier. So, I think it would be great for fellow Russian Jews to get together and begin exploring the pr …
