Challah For Hunger
Every week, Texas Hillel students associated with the Challah For Hunger, a program within The White Rose Society, bake challot in Texas Hillel’s kosher kitchen and sell the loaves on campus the next day. Proceeds go to the American Jewish World Service (AJWS) for on-the-ground relief in Darfur, and students who write letters to politicians about the genocide in Sudan receive a discount on their challah purchase. The outstanding program was even recognized by former President Bill Clinton in his book, Giving, as “particularly touching and relevant because it was started by a Jewish student, and is funded by the sales of traditional Jewish bread for the benefit of poor Muslims whose plight has been ignored far too long by Muslim nations much closer to them.”
