Passover is coming, and it’s a perfect time to engage in social justice advocacy and awareness while remembering the story of our slavery in Egypt.
Each year during the Seder we read, “Let all who are
hungry come and eat.” This Pesach, the organized Jewish community – including the RAC, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, and Mazon – want to help you raise anti-poverty and anti-hunger awareness during your traditional Passover Seder.
You can:
