A Serious Man – A Serious Mandate

Dear Friends, Feeding a hungry person is an act of tikkun olam because it fixes an actual problem for that individual. While solving hunger is a huge dilemma, feeding a hungry person is a concrete, attainable act.

The film, A Serious Man, makes us think about our lives; about the role God plays in our lives; what we learn about Jewish values from rabbis and teachers; what Jewish lessons we carry with us from our childhood; and what ideas we impart to our children.

Every day over one billion people go hungry. Twenty-five thousand people die each day due to malnutrition. Every six seconds a child dies from starvation. More than 60 percent of those who are chronically hungry are women.

Even if you’ve seen the film, see it again in a new way through a Jewish lens. Saturday, April 3, 8 p.m. Havdalah, followed by film presentation

Each week, there are 50,000 people in Maryland relying on emergency food programs—food pantries, soup kitchens and shelters—to put food on the table for their families. More than one third are children and elderly.

Sunday, April 4, 10:15 - 11:30 a.m. Conversation with Rabbi Shulman about the movie’s themes, including a brief study of the Biblical Book of Job

Today hunger is not a problem stemming from a lack of food, but from the challenges of how food is distributed worldwide and the political, social issues of market access. And locally, in our Jewish community, hunger is also a function of economics, unemployment, underemployment, and escalating food prices.

The Gemilut Hasadim Committee of Chizuk Amuno Congregation invites you to join us at Volunteer Shabbat when we honor and recognize congregational volunteers.

Before Passover, Jewish tradition bids us give ma’ot hitim, literally grain money. We donate our left over foodstuffs and our tzedakah for the sake of others who need to eat. These are both acts of tikkun olam because they seek to correct, for at least one person if not for many more, a specific problem. At Chizuk Amuno we administer a hunger fund as an act of tikkun olam. We also conduct a food drive at this time of the year in response to local and immediate needs for food. At this season, for the sake of those who lack, and in support of organizations that feed the hungry, we ask for your contributions to the Chizuk Amuno hunger fund. The Rabbinic Office will receive your checks.

Genesis 1:27

Saturday, April 10, 2010 • 9:15 a.m. Please join us for a festive kiddush luncheon in honor of our volunteers.

Wednesday, April 7, 7 p.m.

Rabbi Joel Zaiman and Reverend Christopher Leighton

A powerful, poetic, and emotionally charged drama about love, loss, and redemption. The film tells the story of Jakob Beer, a man whose life is haunted by his childhood experiences during World War II. As a child in Greece, he is orphaned during wartime, then saved by a compassionate Greek Archaeologist. Jakob is ultimately freed from the legacy of his past through his writing and the discovery of true love.

will reflect on the interfaith challenges that they have faced over the past 25 years. They will examine how their minds and hearts have changed as they entered into searching conversation and serious study. They will highlight the promises and threats that face Jews and Christians now and in the days to come.
