Participate in Global Hunger Shabbat!
Shabbat is a powerful day -- we believe it can change the world. The AJWS-AVODAH Partnership encourages you to participate in a Shabbat dedicated to one of the most critical issues claiming lives in the world today.
Nearly 30 AJWS-AVODAH alumni and friends have already signed up to host meals as part of Global Hunger Shabbatin Brooklyn, Berkeley, Chicago, Denver, Madison, Miami, Portland, DC, Melbourne, Be'er Sheva, and beyond!Hosts receive a variety of original programming ideas, activities and tangible ways to engage their guests in the fight against hunger.
Global Hunger Shabbat will be held on the weekend of March 19-20 for the Partnership community and April 9-10 for college students. For more information and to sign up to host a dinner in your area, please visit www.ajws.org/hungershabbat. In addition, if you are interested in attending a Global Hunger Shabbat event in your area, please email Suzanne and we'll make every effort to match you to a hosted meal!
