HUNGER RELIEF PROJECT

Hunger Relief Project
(Collection and Distribution)

Leave the corners of the fields for the poor and the stranger... This is the fast I have chosen...to share your bread with the hungry...(Isaiah 58)

For the past ten years, so many of us have taken seriously the words of our Jewish tradition to set aside “the corners of our fields” for the poor and the stranger, so they might share in our bounty. This year, we will once again participate in this joint effort of the Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist movements, coordinated by Mazon: A Jewish Response to Hunger. As a congregation, we deepen the meaning of Yom Kippur and give new life to the ancient Jewish tradition of feeding the hungry.

The Temple Brotherhood honors the memory of Malcolm and Sally Schiller by sponsoring this Yom Kippur Food Collection. Malcolm and Sally dedicated tireless volunteer hours meeting the needs of the hungry in our community.

The Young Adult community and YACHAD: Families Connecting will deliver the canned goods and non-perishable food, collected at Temple during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, to North Dallas Shared Ministries.
