Hi. I’ve been watching every Moral Edge since you started producing the show.
I identify with a set of categories that are not often paired together: I am a modern Orthodox member of the Midwood, Brooklyn, Jewish community, but I am also a vegan and advocate for animal welfare. As such, I must take issue with Rabbi Bryks’ comment about Hitler’s supposed vegetarian practice and animal welfare sympathy. This is one of those long-held fallacies that are convenient for the espousal of a position, but simply not true.
I have a book by Rynn Berry (Pythagorean Publishers, New York, 2004) titled Hitler: Neither Vegetarian Nor Animal Lover. Without going into detail, Berry explains that Hilter, although diet-restricted due to stomach issues–loved eating meat, including a kind of quail, and liver dumplings. Furthermore, and tragically, he ordered his soldiers to personally kill by hand the German Shepherds to whom they were assigned to quell any latent feelings of compassion.
You can research the information for yourself.
Otherwise, thank you for an interesting show.
Sincerely,
David Rosenfeld
