OUR STORY

Sarah Osborne founded A Mitzvah to Eat in 2021, based on her own experiences of being unable to safely fast. After years of shame, feeling alone, and being unable to safely connect to Yom Kippur, Sarah searched for community. She was surprised to find many Jews who felt exactly as she had.

Sarah felt called to found A Mitzvah to Eat. 

 

Our advisory committee and Founding Director are proud to work as partners to grow and sustain our mission.
