 | At its founding in 1985, MAZON recognized that rabbis, cantors, educators and social action committees could play a leading role in educating synagogue members about the Jewish tradition of tzedakah and the need for effective hunger relief through MAZON.
Over time, MAZON has forged strong partnerships with the organized Jewish community and its constituent synagogues. Nearly 900 congregations nationwide have embraced the MAZON concept and formally voted to become "MAZON partner synagogues."
Becoming a MAZON partner is easy. It starts with a first step, a firm commitment to prioritizing charity - and social justice - as central elements of a Jewish life. |
Synagogues incorporate MAZON as a regular, indispensable part of synagogue activity, hosting such events as symbolic check presentations, in which MAZON and local synagogues partner to acknowledge the work done by outstanding MAZON grantees throughout the country and other
programs related to MAZON’s work.
