MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger

zY

This Passover, let one who is hungry enter and eat.

As Passover approaches, think for a moment about the time in the Seder
when the youngest child at the table asks the four questions.

MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger adds an important fifth question:

Will you make room at your Seder table for one additional guest?

It is once again time to remember that the freedom we as a people gained
through our exodus from Egypt, and which we now celebrate, came before
Mt. Sinai and our receiving of the Ten Commandments. Without it, the
achievements of each of us and those of our people would not have been
possible, for we are the children of that freedom.

Today there is no parting of waters; no miracles. Just a real need to provide
to those among us who are so poor and hungry. It is true, "there is no Torah
without bread" — no learning, no warmth, no safety, and very little decency.

The fifth question becomes an important and life-giving request. We ask you
to contribute to MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger the amount of money
that you would spend to invite one additional guest to your Seder table.
MAZON will see that the tradition of "feeding the hungry" is fulfilled. As
the poor are fulfilled so, too, will you be.
