You wouldn’t know it by looking at the cornucopia of food for sale at Lunds and Byerly’s, but nearly one out four children in the United States experiences hunger, or what is called “food insecurity.”
Lori Silverbush, co-director of the documentary film A Place at the Table, talked some months ago with the AJW. A story about the film, which opens today at the Uptown Theatre in Minneapolis, was published in the March 1 edition of the Jewish World. You can read it here: ‘A Place at the Table’ AJWNEWS 3.1.13
