Rabbi Nancy Kasten

Last week, David, Lili and I tried to live on the average food stamp allotment of $31.50 each, or just $1.50 per person per meal. We learned many different things from this experience. We learned that we simply do not eat at home or on our own dime for every meal. As much as I tried to pick a week to take the Challenge when we would not have fundraising dinners, luncheon meetings, last-minute invitations for meals at friends' homes, etc. LIFE HAPPENS, and we eat. We have an amazing community that supports us in so many ways, including feeding us even more than we realized.
