From Monday, August 4th, through Monday, August 11th, we will be joining the global solidarity movement that is participating in the Fast for Gaza.
We will fast in solidarity with the people of Gaza who are being starved, as blockades continue to limit access to food, water, and formula.
We will fast to bring attention to the ongoing crisis and to demand action from our elected officials.
We will fast to demonstrate that we are all the children of G-D and our liberation is interconnected.
We will fast because the moment demands it.
There are several ways you can participate: by joining a group fast on Monday, August 4th; signing up to fast for a 24-hour period as part of the chain fast; or donating the amount you would spend on food for one day to an organization that works to alleviate hunger—either in your local community or around the globe.
(We understand that fasting and/or monetary donations are not possible for everyone. Please let us know if there are other ways you’d like to participate this week. Alternate options include attending a local rally or action, setting aside intentional time for prayer, sending encouragement to fasters, or volunteering with a local community organization.)
To learn more about the Fast for Gaza, please visit Fast for Gaza and Veterans for Peace.
You will receive a confirmation email by Sunday, August 4th.
Love God. Love Neighbor. Love Self. Love. Period.

Through Love, we are each created in God’s image and filled with the Divine Spark. No matter whom we love, no matter how we look, no matter where we are on our journey, God’s imprint is in every person of every race/ethnicity, every gender, and every sexual orientation. We believe God speaks many languages and is calling us on many paths to peace—Shalom. We believe that Love put on flesh—brown, poor, Jewish baby flesh—and came to live among us. We believe God lives among us still; we are the living body of Christ. We are the hands, feet, and heartbeat of God. We believe the Spirit of God calls us to freedom, and we are not free until all of us are free.
