First Week of my Internship – 2025 JOIN intern
What I learned in Week 1 of my JOIN Internship My first week of my JOIN internship at Yad Ezra has come to an end, which went by insanely fast, and I have learned and seen a lot. My first day consisted of learning about what Yad Ezra does and how they serve their clients. […]
Introduction to 2025 JOIN Intern Amanda
Hi, everyone! This is the first of many blogs through my time as the JOIN intern at Yad Ezra. My name is Amanda Horwitz, and I am a sophomore at the University of Michigan studying political science with minors in Judaic studies and gender, race and nation. When I am not at school, I live […]
COVID-19 Response
COVID-19 affected all of us. We at Yad Ezra felt strongly that our food insecure clients needed to be helped, maybe more than ever, to receive their food and not to have the additional worry of how that would happen during these stressful times. Our small team worked hard to find a way, and so […]
Maddie’s Story
Maddie Wyatt, a graduate of Berkley High School, volunteered with us as a Giving Gardens Intern when she was a high school student. We invited her to share a story of an experience she had during her time here: I’ve spent a fair amount of time at Giving Gardens, and every time I’m there, I […]
Fermentation for the Soul
Through Giving Gardens at Yad Ezra, we held a workshop on lacto-fermentation, with guest educator Hong Gwi-Seok. Our aim was to give participants the confidence and inspiration to make their own pickles at home. We wanted to share the scientific processes and nutritional benefits of fermented foods, as well as discuss the cultural origins and […]

Blog-Vanish Hunger
By Judy Allen When I was young I was reminded meal after meal to finish what was on my plate! After all, there were children in other countries that longed for my fifth bowl of oatmeal that week or liver and onions with a side of spinach. Recently, while speaking with a friend from Mexico, […]
Can America Feed Itself
Our next post is part of a series by our women’s philanthropy liaison Judy Allen. If you missed her last entry, catch up here. Is it possible for a country having near limitless information, innovation and technological advancement to come up short in something as basic as food? When we can find a grocery store […]
A Chicken in Every Pot
During the 1928 Presidential campaign Herbert Hoover promised a chicken in every pot. Yet just months after his victory the stock market crashed and America was plunged into The Great Depression. Certainly that was no fault of Hoover’s, but as a nation, we have since experienced many an ebb and flow in our economy, and […]
See You Later
As summer comes to a close I have to say my “see you laters” to Yad Ezra. Just because I’m headed back to East Lansing to start my junior year at Michigan State does not mean I won’t be back. I have learned so much over these past 8 weeks, but one thing that has been […]
