'LET ALL WHO ARE HUNGRY COME AND EAT'

(from the Passover seder)

It's ironic to be emailing a picture of a sandwich on the last day of Passover. But we'll all be back to eating leavened bread (gluten issues aside) by this weekend, when Nafshenu holds another of our Food Justice Sunday events. Likde before, we'll be making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for Camden's Cathedral Kitchen, which serves thousands of people in South Jersey. 

Anita and Menashe have kindly offered to host -- and feed -- those who turn out this Sunday, April 12, starting at 12:30pm. This is a fun part of Nafshenu's programming, and it helps the needy in a very concrete way. We need people to bring the raw materials: bread, peanut butter and jelly. 

PLEASE SIGN UP HERE to let Anita and Menashe how many are coming and what supplies you're bringing:

As you know, the religious community that hosts Nafshenu, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, also operates a nutrition aid program. Its food pantry is the leading private food assistance center in Burlington County. PLEASE CONSIDER making a donation to help that work continue. Here's a link:

UPCOMING at NAFSHENU

Our weekly Thursday night Zoom Bible Class resumes this week (tomorrow, 7-8pm). It happens that food is the focus of the weekly Torah portion, Sh'mini (Leviticus chapters 9 through 11). Many contemporary Jews struggle to find meaning in the biblical laws on kosher and non-kosher animals, to say nothing of the much-more-stringent rules that the rabbis added to them. How do our own food issues -- healthy nutrition, calorie-watching, etc. -- compare to Jews' traditional dietary concerns? LET'S TALK!

Here's a link to the Zoom meeting. I will send out a source sheet tomorrow.
