Welcome to A Mitzvah to Eat.
​
We believe that all Jews deserve to be fully welcome in Jewish life.
At A Mitzvah to Eat, we empower Jews needing ritual accommodations to safely connect to sacred Jewish practice and community. We provide resources, support, and advocacy for these Jews, as well as the Jewish community and its leaders.
Together, we are creating a Jewish culture of dignity, meaning, and belonging.
Whether you need ritual accommodations or you know someone who does,
there is something for you here.
Resources
Our online resource library with Jewish learning and original content for Jews needing ritual accommodations.
Online programming
Our programming includes peer support gatherings and more!
Awareness and Advocacy
Join us in advocating for safe observance with Jewish belonging. Raise awareness in your community about our work or advocate for a Yom Kippur eating space in your synagogue for those unable to safely fast. Have other ideas for advocacy for Jews who need ritual accommodations? Email us to share your ideas!
The Tenth of Tevet (this year on January 10, 2025) is a fast day. Here are some ways to connect when your mitzvah is to eat.
