[Jewish] Scholarships to Conference on Hunger

[Steven Nathan]

PLEASE READ THIS AND CONTACT SOREF at HILLEL.ORG IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN RECEIVING SCHOLARSHIP MONEY

Hazon (Hebrew for "vision") was founded in 2000 with a mission to create a
healthier and more sustainable Jewish community, as a step towards a
healthier and more sustainable world for all.  As the leading non-profit
environmental organization in the American Jewish community, Hazon is a
catalyst for innovative educational food programs that touch people's lives
directly as well as shape policies and raise awareness about food in
communal institutions across the country and in Israel.  

Now in its third year, the Food Conference is fashioned to be the place for
addressing issues of sustainability, food justice, health, and nutrition as
they relate to Jewish tradition and Jewish life.  The Hazon Food Conference
will bring together foodies, educators, rabbis, farmers, nutritionists,
chefs, students, food writers, and families who share a passion for learning
about and celebrating food.  We would be delighted to have you join us for
inspiring lectures and discussions, hands-on cooking sessions, an inclusive
Shabbat and Chanukah celebration, and of course delicious, consciously
prepared food.

Through the generous support of Hillel, Hazon is able to offer scholarships
for a select number of college students from Small and Mighty campuses (that's us!)to
participate in the Hazon Food Conference.  If you are interested in further exploring 
the intersection of Jews, food, and
contemporary life, submit an application. Connect to soref at hillel.org to
apply. 
  
Please visit us at www.hazon.org for more information on the Food Conference
or contact me at eli at hazon.org and 212-644-2332 if you have additional
questions. 


B'shalom,

/"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/
