Ruth W. Messinger, president of American Jewish World Service (AJWS), will talk about "Fighting Hunger in a World of Plenty: Repairing our Global Food System," on Friday night, December 9, 8 p.m., after a 7:30 p.m. service.

Please register if you are joining us for dinner so we know how many people to prepare for and to let us know if you plan to bring a dish to share.
Speaking about the politics of the global food crisis from her own experiences in developing countries, Messinger will explain how American Jews can pressure the government to reform food aid policies that exacerbate hunger and poverty. She will also highlight grassroots AJWS projects in Africa, Asia and the Americas, attesting to the transformative impact people can make as global citizens working for a more just world.
