Forty university-aged young adults came together to “bake” a difference in the lives of the hungry as part of the Challah for Hunger initiative. Challah for Hunger (C4H), started in Sydney by Alyce Schneider and Dani Fink, is a non-profit charity that helps raise both awareness and funds for hunger and disaster relief through the production and sale of challah bread on university campuses.

On the 24^th March, 2011, C4H Sydney had its first bake of the year making over 150 challot. The challot were sold to hungry, passersby at the University of Sydney by AUJS. By the end of the day not only was every challah sold, but students were coming up to the stall asking for more.

Alyce Schneider, founder of the Sydney branch of Challah for Hunger, said “C4H allows people to give back in a fun and comfortable environment, where university-aged young adults engage in very meaningful Jewish experiences, learning to making challah and practising tikkun olam.”

Schneider continued, “I think C4H is such a wonderful program and it has been very fulfilling to watch it grow successfully over the past two and half years. We are so proud to see different groups of students come together to do charity in such a wonderful way.”

Challah for Hunger is one of Hillel’s many grassroots initiatives. Hillel welcomes any university-aged young adult with a bright idea. If you have an idea and need help turning it into action, contact Sarah Myerowitz, Hillel Director, at sarah@hillel.com.au.

Hillel needs you to take part in this crucial survey that assesses the wants and needs of young Jews in Sydney today.
