Repair the World, Souper Jenny Team Up for Tzedakah
The partnership aligned with the National Days of Jewish Service and included distributing bagels through Bagel Rescue.
Repair the World Atlanta and Souper Jenny partnered for National Days of Jewish Service, bringing participants together to learn about the intersection of food and environmental justice and take action guided by Jewish values. Participants toured the Souper Jenny farm, packed soup in partnership with The Zadie Project and packaged bagels to be distributed through the Bagel Rescue.
Erin Stieglitz, director of the Bagel Rescue and Repair the World service ambassador shared, ”This Earth Day Mitzvah Day event was about reflecting on respect, responsibility, nourishment, knowledge, and enjoyment of and for the Earth … it is a beautiful thing to watch people connect over common values of wanting to protect and sustain our planet, and caring to not destroy existing resources when they can be used to help others in the community. That sparkle came through during this event.”
The event served as testimony to the joyful connection and hope that service provides, while allowing volunteers to embody justice, tzedek, through service.
