  1. Isn’t it weird to honor trees by printing out haggadot?
    Do people honor cows by making leather belts?

  2. I don’t know what “people” do, but as far as Jews go, yes, from a spiritual standpoint, we honor a cow by making use of it for a proper (G-dly) purpose, and leather clothing is one such purpose.

  3. So I actually go to the actual link above and it actually says:
    “…our hggadah is available in PDF format so you may PRINT as few or as MANY copies as you need…”
    (emphasis added)

  4. @BBN- i tried to find your posts on that topic to link to, but couldn’t locate anything. the preliminary response from Hazon I got on why they chose “B’Shvat” as opposed to the more grammatically correct “Bi’Shvat” I was told that they went for “more common usage.”

    That’s an odd argument for an environmental organization to be making. Should we drive cars as opposed to the more environmentally responsible biking or public transportation, because cars are in “more common usage”?
