Happy Juneteenth!

Juneteenth celebrates June 19, 1865, when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, and told enslaved people they were free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, it couldn't be enforced in areas still controlled by the Confederacy. On June 19, 1865, more than 250,000 enslaved people in Texas finally learned they were free. Today, Juneteenth is a federal holiday celebrating the end of slavery in America.

Juneteenth connects deeply with our Jewish values and history. Just as we tell the Exodus story during Passover, celebrating our freedom from slavery in Egypt, Juneteenth reminds us of our shared commitment to freedom and justice.
Both Black and Jewish experiences show deep strength and hope in the face of hardship. For many Black Jews in North America, Juneteenth holds special meaning as both a celebration of freedom and a reminder of ongoing struggles for justice. Kol Yisrael Arevim Zeh Bazeh (All Are Responsible for One Another): What affects one member of our community affects us all.

When gas is almost $5 a gallon and grocery prices keep climbing, even the most carefully stretched budget starts to break. Torah doesn't mince words: if someone is hungry, feed them. That obligation doesn't change when times get tough. It gets louder.

We're temporarily increasing the amount of food families receive, because we know that easing some of that pressure matters. Helping parents, seniors, and working families stretch their budgets a little further. Keeping gas in their tanks so they can get to work, care for their families, and move forward with dignity.

But we cannot do it without you. Please consider donating to help our neighbors facing food insecurity: https://www.yadezra.org/onemoremeal/
