Our regular Cocktails w/ a Conscience has been replaced this month with a special pre-Passover event! The tradition of throwing away chometz (or leavened food products) is an important one to many Jewish families, but are there ways to do this that don't create food waste? We're having a community discussion to find out more sustainable ways to observe this important practice. Two free drinks for every person who attends. Location to be provided after registration.

The Seder, the Hebrew word for order, is a ritual feast at the beginning of the Jewish holiday of Passover that includes reading, telling stories, eating symbolic foods, singing, and other holiday traditions. This year, the Atlanta Interfaith Hunger Seder takes place amidst several holidays, including Passover, Ramadan, and Easter. The Interfaith Hunger Seder follows Jewish tradition by sharing the retelling of the Israelites’ escape from slavery in ancient Egypt alongside a delicious vegetarian meal, and strays from tradition by inspiring a conversation about hunger in our community and steps we can each take to address it.

Now that Passover is over, we’re bringing leaven back into our lives! How can we do this while also making sure others have access to food as well? Join Repair the World in partnership with Nazun for a “give one get one” challah baking afternoon! Participants will have the opportunity to learn about food insecurity through a Jewish lens, as well as bake two Challahs - one to take home and one to donate to those facing food insecurity. While there is no cost to participate, we encourage attendees to consider contributing in one of the following ways to ensure a successful event - a donation of $18 or provide dough for the event. We can’t do a bake without dough! If you choose to make dough, please indicate how much you can donate in your registration. We can’t wait to see you there!

Meet Repair Atlanta and JCAN off the Beltline at Brew Dog as we learn more about opportunities to participate in environmental justice work in Atlanta, and grab a drink or two!
