How did food become money? How can money become food justice? In Part One of this program, we’ll trace the original mini-cycles of food sharing within the biblical rhythms of sabbatical / release. We'll consider principles of fairness and sustainability that ancient prophets and sages developed from these rhythms, as we field-test emerging practices of solidarity to help each other face—and digest—our own Jewish choices with love and courage.

In Part Two of this program (open to all, regardless of previous participation), we’ll apply the principles and practices identified in Part One to a core challenge articulated by Hazon: empowering “those whose disadvantage is invisibly connected to our own food choices.” Through storytelling and discussion, we'll center the personal experiences of front-line food workers and others as we deepen our understanding of food insecurity. Approaching food justice as an ongoing action / reflection process, we'll highlight current best practices as we continue to help each other face—and digest—our own Jewish choices with love and courage.
