Ngeholide lamaJuda laseSukkot - isikhumbuzo sokuzulazula kweminyaka engu-40 kwama-Israyeli ehlane - izakhamuzi eziningi zeZwe Lesithembiso zihambahamba ezweni lonke. Abavakashi bahlala ezindaweni ezisogwini nasemapaki edolobha ukuze babe nepikiniki kanye nezoso. Kodwa eLeumi Park, okuyindawo enkulu eluhlaza emaphethelweni eTel Aviv, sekusungulwe isiko elisha. Izinkulungwane zezazi zokuziphatha kanye nabantu abafuna ukwazi nje bahlanganele uMkhosi weVegan, ngokungafani nephunga elishisayo lenyama eshisiwe.
I-Vegan Festival yaqala ukwenziwa ngo-2014 futhi yahlanganisa ababambiqhaza ababalelwa ku-15000. Njalo ngonyaka abantu abaningi ngokwengeziwe abafuna ukushintshela ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni bajoyina lo mcimbi. Umgqugquzeli womkhosi u-Omri Paz uthi ngo. Njengoba kunenani labantu abangaba yizigidi ezingu-8, amaphesenti amahlanu azibheka njengabadla imifino. Futhi lo mkhuba ukhula ikakhulukazi ngenxa yenkulumo-ze ngokusebenzisa izinkundla zokuxhumana.
“Ezweni lethu, abezindaba banaka kakhulu izindaba ezimayelana nokwenzeka emapulazini ezinkukhu, lokho abantu abakudlayo, nokuthi iyini imiphumela yokudla amaqanda nemikhiqizo yobisi,” kusho uPaz.
I-Vegetarianism yayingadumile njalo phakathi kwama-Israel, kodwa isimo saqala ukushintsha lapho umbiko uboniswa esiteshini sendawo mayelana. Khona-ke uNgqongqoshe Wezolimo wakwa-Israyeli wayala ukuba zonke izindawo ezibulalayo zihlonyiswe ngamakhamera okuqapha ukuze kuvinjelwe imizamo yokuhlukumeza izilwane. Lo mbiko ugqugquzele osaziwayo bendawo kanye nezibalo zomphakathi ukuthi basebenzise indlela yokudla engenalo udlame kanye nendlela yokuphila.
I-Vegetarianism nayo iyanda e-Israel Army, okuwumsebenzi wabo bobabili abafana namantombazane. , futhi amamenyu enkantini yezempi alungisiwe ukuze anikeze izinketho ngaphandle kwenyama nobisi. Ibutho lezempi lakwa-Israel lisanda kumemezela ukuthi ukudla okukhethekile kwe-vegan okuhlanganisa izithelo ezomisiwe, uphizi ogazingiwe, amantongomane nobhontshisi kuzodalelwa amasosha anokufinyelela okulinganiselwe kokudla okusanda kulungiswa. Kumasosha e-vegan, izicathulo nama-berets anikezwa, athungwe ngaphandle kwesikhumba semvelo.
Emakhulwini amaningi eminyaka, ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni kuye kwabusa amazwe aseMedithera. Izindawo zokudlela ezincane kwa-Israyeli bezilokhu zinikela nge-hummus, i-tahini ne-falafel kwabadlayo. Kukhona ngisho negama lesiHeberu elisho “ukucosha i-hummus pita.” Namuhla, uhamba emigwaqweni yaseTel Aviv, ungabona uphawu oluthi “Vegan Friendly” emakhulwini amathilomu endawo. Indawo yokudlela i-Domino's Pizza - omunye wabaxhasi boMkhosi weVegan - waba umbhali. Lo mkhiqizo usudume kakhulu kangangokuthi igunya lobunikazi selithengiwe wona emazweni amaningi, kuhlanganise neNdiya.
Intshisekelo ekudleni kwemifino isikhule kakhulu kangangokuthi abantu bendawo nezivakashi sebehlelelwe ukuvakasha, okuchaza ukuthi ukudla kwezitshalo kumnandi futhi kunempilo kangakanani. Olunye lolu hambo oludumile yiDelicious Israel. Umsunguli, isihambi saseMelika u-Indal Baum, uyisa izivakashi ezindaweni zokudlela ze-vegan ukuyokwethula izidlo zasendaweni ezidumile - isaladi yesitayela se-tapas esisha, i-beetroot tapenade eluhlaza enominti namafutha omnqumo, ubhontshisi ofakwe izinongo waseMoroccan kanye neklabishi eligayiwe. I-Hummus iyadingeka ohlwini okufanele ulubone, lapho ama-gourmets ezitika ngongqimba oluminyene lwe-velvety hummus ne-tahini entsha njengesisekelo sazo zonke izitsha. Izinketho zokuhlobisa zihlanganisa u-anyanisi omusha onejusi kalamula namafutha omnqumo, uphizi ofudumele, iparsley eqoshwe kahle, noma usizo oluningi lukapelepele olubabayo.
“Yonke into kuleli yintsha futhi ilungele ama-vegans. Kungaba nezinhlobo ezingu-30 zamasaladi etafuleni futhi asikho isifiso soku-oda inyama. Azikho izinkinga lapha ngemikhiqizo ephuma ngqo emapulazini … isimo singcono kakhulu kunase-United States,” kusho u-Baum.
