Does Veganism enhance Jewish Life?

Question

Considering the laws of Kashrut, does being Vegan enhance and encourage greater Jewish observance?

Answer 1

My Rabbi is a vegetarian (she may be a vegan), and I think it was for precisely the reason you stated.  There was a rabbi who encouraged it, but the idea is far from universal.  It all depends on how you look at it.

Answer 2

enhance how? would it enhance a jew more than any other person? no....

Answer 3

Depends on your point of view.  It does make it easier to observe all the kashrut laws since you don't have to worry about the status of the meat, whether or not you're mixing meat and dairy, etc.  On the other hand, then you don't even think about the fact that you're observing some of the mitzvot--so maybe it makes it less spiritual.
