August 2, 2018

Dear Member of Congress:

We—the undersigned rabbis and cantors—are united in our belief that we have

an obligation to take care of the most vulnerable among us. We join MAZON: A

Jewish Response to Hunger in calling for the protection of the

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in the Farm Bill.

We are concerned about harmful proposals in the Farm Bill that would restrict

SNAP eligibility by imposing arbitrary work requirements upon people who

simply need help putting food on the table. In particular, these unprecedented

changes will harm older Americans, who face unique challenges reentering the

workforce. Between age discrimination and the scarcity of effective training

programs, getting a new job is much harder for older Americans and takes

significantly longer. These policies will have real impacts on real people, and fail

to take into account the realities of their situation.

Such proposals are at odds with the teachings of our faith.

In Leviticus, we are commanded to leave the corners of our fields and the

gleanings of our harvest and vineyards for the poor and the stranger. This

commandment is a clear expression of our collective responsibility for each

other. It reminds us that we are not to judge those who are poor, nor should we

assume to know the circumstances of their lives. Its wisdom respects the dignity of

all by empowering individuals to decide what they need, not presuming to know

what’s best for them.

More than 40 million American men, women, and children struggle to put food

on the table on a regular basis. While charitable organizations play a vital role in

addressing hunger, we know that the overwhelming majority of food assistance

in this country has historically come from—and must continue to come from—

federal programs.

The Farm Bill must protect against hunger by strengthening SNAP, the

cornerstone of our nation’s nutrition safety net. It must ensure access to

affordable, nutritious food for vulnerable populations that too often struggle,

including seniors, single mothers, veterans, currently-serving military families,

Native Americans, and college students. At the most basic level, the Farm Bill

should contribute to the goal of ending hunger in America, not add to the

problem.

Jewish text and tradition compel us to honor the dignity of every person,

especially those who are struggling. No matter a person’s circumstance, no

one deserves to be hungry.

We call on Congress to ensure that the Farm Bill lives up to its historical promise

and protects SNAP and the millions of Americans who must rely on it.
