MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger
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.
Esther LaMed
Endowment
Promotes Yiddish
The Frankel Center for Judaic Studies,
University of Michigan, and the
College of Literature Sciences and the
Arts are beneficiaries of the establish-
> C ment of the Esther and Louis LaMed
Fund for Yiddish Studies at the
University of Michigan. The $100,000
endowment was established by Esther
LaMed to partially defray the cost of a
lecturer in Yiddish; to develop and
produce Yiddish instructional materi-
als; to support research and travel in
Yiddish Studies; and to support lectur-
ers, conferences or public events
focused on Yiddish. A luncheon was
given in honor of Mrs. LaMed at the
University of Michigan in March.
Irwin Shaw and Professors Zvi
Gitelman and Anita Norich spoke of
the LaMed family and its support for
Hebrew and Yiddish cultures.

Publicity
Deadlines
The normal deadline for local
news and publicity items is noon
Thursday, eight days prior to issue
date. The deadline for out-of-
town obituaries is 10 a.m.
Tuesday, three days prior to issue
date.
Today there is no parting of the 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 have spent to feed one additional guest at 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.
