Friends,

I am so excited to (re-)introduce a project at the heart of our community:
Beth Shalom for Food Equity.

Beth Shalom has a long history of volunteer work at the Food Bank, with Family Promise, and especially with Fork and Spoon. This year, the Board has recommitted to dedicate a tithe of our resources and time together to contribute, as a Jewish community, to the equity and health of the communities we live in: Bozeman, Montana, this country, and our planet.

Food Equity does not only mean to fight hunger--it does mean that, too!--it also means to make sure that all people have the opportunity to grow and consume food is healthy and affordable. Jewish tradition teaches us that we are obliged to contribute a tenth of our crop to the poor. It also teaches us that it is just as important to make sure that everyone can feed themselves and their families. Shalom Kids, the Women's Group, Torah Study, all of us together... will all dedicate part of their meeting time to this shared commitment.

Let's do this.

You can find all Beth Shalom for Food Equity events in Green on our community calendar. Please reach out to rabbisonja@bethshalombozeman.org if you have any questions!

Warmly,
R' Sonja
