Reply To: What have you "given up" to be frum?

I’m not sure what happened to my earlier comment in which I listed four prominent vegetarian rabbis:

Rabbi David Cohen “HaNazir” z’tz’l

Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen, currently Chief Rabbi of Haifa (and son of Rabbi David Cohen “HaNazir”)

Rabbi Shlomo Goren z’tz’l, late Chief Rabbi of the IDF and later of Israel (and son-in-law of Rabbi David Cohen “HaNazir”)

Rabbi Baron Jonathan Sacks, currently Chief Rabbi of the UK

two others I could have mentioned:

Rabbi Chaim Zundel Maccoby z’tz’l, the Kamenitzer Maggid

Rabbi David Rosen, former Chief Rabbi of Ireland

I suspect that all would agree with what Mod-80 wrote. In any case, there is no chiyuv to eat meat today when we don’t have a temple.
