The practice of tikkun olam - repairing the world - through social action is one way to perform tzedakah. Donating to MAZON, and thus feeding the hungry, helps build a more perfect world by promoting self-sufficiency and strengthening the bonds of human community.
Herbert Berger was a lifelong progressive who passed away in March 2004 after a long illness. He supported MAZON as his favorite charity. He always believed that by donating to MAZON, one could do one's part in "repairing the world." In addition to his commitment to tzedakah, Herb was a pioneer in the environmental field, working his entire career for an organization dedicated to air and water quality. He was also a devoted husband and father who lived a strong, committed Jewish life.
Join Herb's family and friends in supporting MAZON through the Herbert Berger Memorial Fund, and continue the good works that characterized his long life.
*Please make sure to specify that your gift is in memory of Herbert Berger.
