The Following Passages appear in the 5778 Haggadah published by MAZON: A Jewish Response to Hunger

Hunger remains a painful physical reality for far too many of our friends, neighbors, and family members. Hunger is an oppressive force that holds individuals back from realizing their full potential in life and limits our society from making greater progress. The Passover seder celebrates liberation from bondage and the joy of freedom. But in communities across our country, millions of Americans struggle to put enough nutritious food on the table and are bound by the hardships of their circumstances. As long as Americans continue to struggle with food insecurity, we will continue to dedicate this Hunger Seder to the goal of ending hunger and its causes.

Across the country, currently serving members of our armed forces and veterans regularly turn to food pantries and distribution programs, sometimes in uniform, looking for help to feed themselves and their families. While many emergency food providers have stepped up their support, most of these organizations are strapped by increasing demands for services in general and have limited capacity to address this population. Our public officials must do more to address this unacceptable and long-ignored problem.
