The US-Israel war on Iran threatens everyone in its path. Citing wartime security needs, the Israeli government has again closed all the borders of Gaza, including for humanitarian aid. Food prices are skyrocketing because of the closing of the Rafah border. This is exacerbating the food scarcity and starvation crisis in Gaza.
As Passover nears we are reminded of the Aramaic words that open the maggid, storytelling, section of the Passover seder: Kol dichfin yeitei v'yeichol “may all who are hungry come and eat.” These words are meant to be a call to share both sustenance and freedom.
Join us to make these words word real this this Passover.
Learn more about H.R. 2411, the UNRWA Emergency Restoration Act and take action on April 6th and 7th. Contact your Representative and ask them to do more to address the starvation crisis in Gaza. More info here.
