Ever find yourself walking through the Davis Farmer's Market and wondering what the life of a farmer is like?

Wonder what goes into producing the food you see?

Ever listen to debates about hunger, social justice, poverty, and access to food and ask

what Judaism has to say about the matter?

Ever dream about cooking with food you harvested yourself?

This year, Hillel will be taking a group of students on a week-long journey with the Jewish Farm School, an organization whose mission it is to practice and promote sustainable agriculture and to support food systems rooted in justice and Jewish traditions.

Get ready to spend a week planting, harvesting, building, cooking, EATING, leanring and having an amazing time with other studetns. 

Cost: $375 (includes food, accommodations, and program for 7 days)+ travel

$100 stipend available with full participation in Alternative Break Seminar program

Challah for Hunger

Baking: Wednesdays @ Hillel

Selling: Thursdays on the UC Davis Quad

Flavors change weekly!

Each week, Challah for Hunger "bakes a difference" by making challah and selling it on campus, with the proceeds being split between Darfur relief and a local charity of the group's choosing.
