ometimes, the most compli-
cated, widespread problems
can have the simplest solutions
— with nobody having to give up a
thing.
Expanding on a project of the inter-
national organization Mazon: A Jewish
Response to Hunger that asks clergy to
encourage congregants to donate money
saved by not eating on Yom Kippur, a
local group's proposal spreads the Nord
beyond the synagogue.
Formed last month as the
Congregation Shaarey Zedek Break the
Fast campaign, the local project busted
out into a comniunitywide, multide-
nominational initiative that is sharing
the idea via posters, phone
calls, mailings and an e-
mail blitz.
In just weeks, the sug-
gestion by community
activist Joel Jacob of West
Bloomfield went from his
Shaarey Zedek rabbis —
Joseph Krakoff, Jonathan
Berkun and Eric Yanoff
— to area rabbis and a
young leadership group,
Rabbi Yanoff
whose member Stu Dorf
of West Bloomfield orga-
nized taking it out into the community.
Through a publicity drive spear-
headed by Dorf, young leadership
members Jordan Glass, Andy Hayman
and Emma and Michael Zerkel, all
of West Bloomfield, Casey Long of
Commerce Township and John Dwoskin
of Huntington Woods mailed post cards,
placed advertisements and hung notices
in area venues such as supermarkets
and kosher bakeries. "Especially the
places where you would go before the
holidays," Rabbi Yanoff said. "We wanted
them to be seen in the context of the
planning for meals for the holidays:'
Dorf also reached out to other young
Jewish leaders in the community, who
are affiliated with other synagogues in
the Conservative, Orthodox and Reform
movements, to spread the word.
Something Jacob's son Andrew, 11,
said brought Mazon into sharp focus for
the group. Mazon allocates donations
from the Jewish community to indi-
viduals of all faiths and backgrounds
through emergency food providers, food
banks, multi-service organizations and
advocacy groups in the U.S.
and abroad.
While in Israel last year,
Andrew heard a soldier say
he would be eating with his
unit because if he went home,
he'd be taking food that would
have gone to his children. "So
we sought out an agency that
would include those in Israel,"
Rabbi Yanoff said.
"Mazon casts a wide net that
answers the needs of those
worldwide, while still help-
ing the hungry in Detroit" Recipients
include Yad Ezra, Michigan's kosher food
pantry.
Because the project has been under-
written by an anonymous donor, 100
percent of funds donated during the
campaign will go to Mazon.
