I am a proud Jewish vegan, too!
People ask me if it's hard, because so many Jewish holiday are celebrated with traditional very non-vegan meals, but I remind them that it makes keeping Kosher a breeze!
I too an a proud Jewish vegan. Raised 'half-kosher' growing up- We couldn't mix meat/dairy during meals, but we didn't eat on separate plates. I have been vegan for several months now upon seeing a graphic PETA video which opened my eyes and changed my world, and I know that this is a lifelong change. Being vegan is the best thing that's ever happened to me. Eating without a guilty conscience is important to me from all realms (animal most importantly, and health comes in 2nd).
isn't the woman behind Post Punk Kitchen also Jewish?

No one in my girlfriend's family is Jewish, but we always eat 'Jew Food.' Haha, it's delish! (Vegan, of course.) :D
