The Feinstein Foundation has suspended its annual $1 Million Giveaway to Fight Hunger until further notice in order to concentrate on its ever increasing number of Feinstein Jr. Scholars.

Since 2000, DMARC has participated in the Feinstein Hunger Challenge, which helped increase awareness of hunger and leveraged resources during a time of year when donations are typically lower.

This year, gifts received in March and April will be more important than ever in helping DMARC provide much-needed food for our neighbors who are struggling.

If you or your group planned to participate in the Feinstein Challenge, we invite you to leverage your gifts through the Douglas M. Woods "Challenge Hunger" Campaign! From March 1 through April 30, cash donations to DMARC that are noted as "Challenge Hunger" gifts will be matched 50 cents for every dollar, up to a total of $20,000 given.

Thank you for your support!

The Jewish mystical tradition, like all mystical traditions, has had to deal with the issue of language and the communication of mystical experience. In responding to this basic issue, Jewish mystics did not emphasize ineffability. Instead, they answered the conceptual matters raised by the challenge of language by creating a theology that drew on the material in, and the interpretation of, the Hebrew Bible.
