How America Once Ended Hunger, and How We Can Do It Again

The Adath Jeshurun community invites you to join us on Thursday, September 11, at 7:30 p.m. for a guided tour exploring The Hunger Museum, led by Adath congregant and MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger board member Howard Tarkow. The tour will tease out the main narrative of the museum over the course of an hour, with time for questions and discussion. It is free and appropriate for all ages, but geared for adults.

Registration will be available closer to the event. Contact [email protected] with any questions.

About the Museum:

The Hunger Museum tells the fascinating story of the last 100+ years of hunger and anti-hunger public policy in the United States. Because it’s completely virtual, you can engage with our immersive and interactive exhibits anytime, from anywhere, to learn about the political, economic, and cultural story of the expansion and dismantling of the American social safety net. It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen.

Explore the galleries, stay awhile at the SNAP Café, and leave your wish for a more just world at the Wishing Tree. The lessons from history can help us forge a new path forward to end hunger. We know it’s possible — the proof is in our history.

About MAZON:

Inspired by Jewish values and ideals, MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger is a national organization fighting to end hunger among people of all faiths and backgrounds in the United States and Israel.
