My grandfather came from Volkovisk, Russia/Poland in 1904. He settled in Brooklyn, NY. He was a "moral vegetarian" and stayed that way until he passed away at 89. He even had a water pump put in his brooklyn backyard. Many in my family were also vegetarians. I also remember working one summer at Fannie Shaffer's Vegetarian Hotel in the Catskills in the 1960's. It was a wonderful hotel with mostly Jewish guests and the food was great.
