MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger
burnt-offering brought every
morning and evening on
behalf of the whole communi-
ty. The public act of worship
dramatizes the ideal of unity.
Every member of the con-
gregation of Israel had his
share in the collective offer-
ing. The central sanctuary
with its communal sacrifices
was a visible object-lesson of
the ideal of communal
solidarity. Without it, the
tribes would have drifted
apart. With it, they were join-
ed into one integrated group.
Has the need for unity ceas-
ed to exist? Can we today af-
ford a fragmented people, torn
apart by schisms and fac-
tionalism? Is there not an
urgent necessity to restore
our shared affirmation of
Jewish faith and destiny, our
common loyalty to our
heritage and our hope for
redemption?
Although the passage of
time transforms the cir-
cumstances of life, the human
condition remains the same.
Sacrificial observances were
the personal and collective ex-
periences by which the people
expressed their reverence to
the Almighty and their
fellowship with each other.
We need to read the Book of
Leviticus with understanding
minds and responsive hearts
so that we absorb its lessons
and, appreciating their
sublime purpose, find new ex-
pression for them in our
lives. ❑

Passover 5751/1991: Let one who is hungry enter and eat.
We are about to gather once again, family and friends, at our Seder table to share the
celebration of our freedom from the yoke of slavery. This year we do so as many and terrible
clouds hover above: war in the Middle East and its aftermath; an economic recession; the twin
joy and concern over resettling our brothers and sisters from the Soviet Union.
And yet there is that wonderful word - MITZVAH. It also hovers, not like a cloud but like
a silver lining, for it reminds us that even in these difficult days we cannot and need not put
aside our concern - our obligation to those who are and who remain hungry.
Those who are impoverished cannot be called upon to pay with their lives for our
preoccupations.
So we ask, as in past years and in years to come, that each of you invite one hungry person
to your Seder table by contributing to MAZON a multiple of CHAT - $18 - or the cost of the meal
for that additional guest.
Please join in redeeming this invitation.
