Enhancing The Joy
Of Your Wedding

WHERE CAN YOU FIND ALL OF THESE
WONDERFUL AND CREATIVE ACCESSORIES?

Contributing 3 percent of the cost of your wedding
to Mazon helps feed hungry people and enhances
the meaning of your special day.

s everything ready?
The wedding gown hangs
in the closet; the caterer has
the kitchen organized; the
florist comes at 10. Your mind is
spinning with details: seating
charts, last-minute menu
changes, whether Uncle Murray
will insist on singing.
Despite months of planning,
is something missing? As your
wedding day draws near, have
you planned a day that truly re-
flects what's important in your
lives?
Imagine adding a simple ele-
ment to your celebration that
says to your guests, 'We want to
begin right now to express the
values that are foremost in our
life together: respect for one an-
other, involvement in the Jew-
ish community, care for those in
need." Mazon: A Jewish re-
sponse to Hunger offers you an
opportunity to do just that. By
contributing 3 percent of the cost
of your wedding celebration to
Mazon, which supports pro-
grams working to ease the pain
of hunger in the United States
and abroad, you give modern
meaning to the ancient Jewish
tradition of inviting the poor to
the table. Thus you add to the
joy of your celebration.
Caring for the needy has been
an integral part of Jewish mar-
riages since Abraham and Sarah
first opened the sides of their
tent and provided food and drink
to all passersby. In the shtetls of
eastern Europe, wedding feasts
did not begin until the poor of the
community had sat down to eat.
When Jews first came to Amer-
ica, they brought few posses-
sions, carrying instead a wealth
of traditions. Chief among these
was the obligation to feed the
hungry, often in connection with
a celebration feast or a holiday
meal.
Now, by giving 3 percent to
Mazon, you can make ancient
Jewish traditions your own.
Since 1986, the support of

I

hundreds of congregations and
thousands of Jews across the
country — including thousands
of people celebrating weddings
and other joyous occasions —
has enabled Mazon to provide
cash grants of more than
$8,600,000 to a broad spectrum
of nonprofit organizations con-
fronting hunger in the United
States, in Israel and in
impoverished countries. Contri-
butions to Mazon are tax-de-
ductible.
Mazon's grants support non-
profit organizations working to
ease the suffering of millions of
hungry people worldwide.
Grantees include food banks,
kosher pantries and meals-on-
wheels programs, large multi-
service centers serving poor and
homeless people, statewide and
national public-policy groups and
international relief and devel-
opment projects in poor coun-
tries.
Mazon reflects the belief that
the problem of hunger must be
confronted on all levels: by feed-
ing people, certainly, but also by
supporting programs working
for effective long-term solutions
to hunger, those working to im-
prove the reach and effectiveness
of federal food programs, and
those providing the kinds of
counseling, assistance and train-
ing that increase the self-reliance
of low-income people.
Mazon also can supply table
cards, available without charge,
which are suitable for use as
place cards for guests or simply
as unobtrusive complements to
table centerpieces. The table
cards announce that a portion of
the cost of the celebration has
been contributed to Mazon.
The creation of a new house-
hold among Jewish people is a
source of joy for everyone. Ma-
zon builds on this Jewish value
of sharing one's personal simcha
with others. ❑
