Using one of the most evocative lines from the traditional Passover Seder – “Let all who are hungry come and eat” – the Jewish Council for Public Affairs and MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger have re-contextualized the historical message of redemption from slavery with the modern struggle faced by hungry children across our country by creating the Child Nutrition Seder mobilization. We need your help to send a powerful message to elected officials and to ask Congress to reauthorize a strong Child Nutrition Bill with at least $1 billion in new funding each year for the next five years.
To ensure that no child in America goes hungry, we need you to hold a Child Nutrition Seder during the month of March or early April of 2010. Here are some resources to help you hold your own Child Nutrition Seder. Please also look at the Legislation box below for more advocacy resources
On March 18th, 2010, JCPA President, Rabbi Steve Gutow led a child nutrition seder attended by Members of Congress, students from the Jewish Primary Day School in DC, and children from the Jewish-Latino Coalition in Tucson.
