Welcome to A Mitzvah to Eat.

We believe that all Jews deserve to be fully welcome in Jewish life.

At A Mitzvah to Eat, we empower Jews needing ritual accommodations to safely connect to sacred Jewish practice and community. We provide resources, support, and advocacy for these Jews, as well as the Jewish community and its leaders.

Together, we are creating a Jewish culture of dignity, meaning, and belonging.

You Are Not Alone

"As a Jew who needs accommodations for some mitzvot and yearns to have a deep relationship with mitzvot, A Mitzvah To Eat is a bracha (blessing). Our tradition is big enough and resilient enough to hold all of us. We need compassionate, loving religious leadership in these times, reminding our fellow Jews that whatever their personal circumstances are, Judaism is here for us." - Rabbi Lauren Tuchman
