How can we ensure that the Passover Seder is not performative, but
transformative? When we open our doors to those who are hungry,
something in our hearts opens too. This is how we begin to write a new
liberation story.

Since October 7, The New Israel Fund has been funding emergency support
and resettlement for Israelis forced from their homes, and they have
been supporting Israelis and Palestinians working together for a just
future. They have now launched a campaign to feed the people of Gaza

International Rescue Committee. The humanitarian crisis there is a moral
catastrophe, and it is a Jewish moral obligation to feed those who are
hungry. I hope you’ll join me in support of this campaign.
