Roberta Kalechofsky (born May 11, 1931) is an American writer, feminist and animal rights activist, focusing on the issue of animal rights within Judaism and the promotion of vegetarianism within the Jewish community. She is the founder of Jews for Animal Rights and runs Micah Publications or Micah Books, which specializes in the publication of animal-rights, Jewish vegetarian, and Holocaust literature. She is married to Dr. Robert Kalechofsky, a retired mathematics professor from Salem State University, author of a book on theoretical mathematics, and a long-time long-distance runner. They appear together representing Micah Books at publisher, writer, vegetarian, and animal rights events around North America, including the Boston Vegetarian Society's (annual Boston Vegetarian Food Festival ). She is a popular speaker in vegetarian groups, though she is not considered 'standard fare' for such groups. She is the author of ''Animal Suffering and the Holocaust: The Problem with Comparisons'' (2003), as well as seven works of fiction, poetry, two collections of essays, and a monograph on George Orwell.〔(Roberta Kalechofsky's biography ), Micah Publications.〕 Micah, which Dr. Kalechofsky founded in 1975, has published two haggadot for a vegetarian seder, one of which, ''Haggadah for the Liberated Lamb'', has been exhibited at Harvard University in an exhibit on food and politics, and at the Jewish Museum in New York. Philosopher Tom Regan has said of Kalechofsky, "()f all the historians of ideas with whom I am familiar, if I had a choice between listening to just one of them, I would not hesitate to choose Roberta. She is that good, that worth spending time with."〔Braun, Nathan. ("Roberta Kalechofsky" ), Women in Judaism, 2002.〕 ==Education and teaching== Kalechofksy attended Brooklyn College, receiving her B.A. in 1952, followed by an M.A. in English literature from New York University in 1956, and a Ph.D. from the same university in 1970, also in English literature.
