Sichot Beyn Achayot – Conversations Between Sisters – Session 2: Addressing Homelessness and Food Insecurity: Mitzvot, Motivations and Methods

שׂיחוֹת בֵּין אָחַיוֹת, Sichot beyn Achayot means “Conversations between Sisters.” This program is designed to foster a deeper mutual understanding between the members of WLCJ in North America, the Masorti women from Israel and Masorti Olami, and our communities around the world. It is designed to address the question, “How are we the same, and how are we different?” The theme of this year’s program is כּל יִשְׂרָאֵל עָרֵבִים זֶה בַּזֶה, Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh Ba’Zeh, All of Israel is Responsible for One Another [BT Shevuot 39a]. The three sessions will address this question by each concentrating on one specific issue that is both relevant and timely to us all and will include presentations from speakers from both sides of the Atlantic. Each workshop will also be followed by a Q&A session in which all attendees will be encouraged to participate.

November 19 — 19:00 Israel Time | 12:00 PM ET | 11:00 AM CT | 10:00 AM MT | 9:00 AM PT

Title: Addressing Homelessness and Food Insecurity: Mitzvot, Motivations and Methods 

 

The Torah commands us to pay a poor person’s tithe [Deuteronomy 14:28] and to leave the corners of our fields unharvested so that the poor may glean with dignity [Leviticus 23:22]. How do we fulfill the mitzvah of caring for the most vulnerable members of our society today when the need is so great?
