Dear Steven,

A few weeks ago, The New York Times Magazine printed its first ?Food
Issue,? covering topics such as food policy, the environmental
implications of the seafood industry, eating locally and more.  They even
had an article called ?Kosher Wars.?

The Hazon Food Conference covers these issues from a Jewish perspective.

In December (25th-28th), hundreds of people?chefs, rabbis, gardeners,
nutritionists, policy experts, and other food enthusiasts ?will gather at
the Asilomar Conference and Retreat Center in Northern California, for a
weekend of expert cooking sessions, thought-provoking lectures and
discussions, a joyful celebration of Shabbat and Chanukah, and, of course,
delicious, consciously-prepared food.

Hillel is generously providing significant scholarships to students and
faculty from Small and Mighty campuses (that includes Hampshire).  If you 
would like to apply for a scholarship to the Food Conference, please email
me at eli at hazon.org with contact info and a brief explanation of why the
Food Conference is an appealing winter break activity.

Please visit www.foodconference.org or email me for more information.

Chag sameach,

eli

/"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. It also became clear to 
me that in regard to cruelties committed in the name of a free society, 
some are guilty, all are responsible."/

/-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel/
