Frequently Asked Questions

Nazun (נזון) means “we will nourish” in Hebrew. We nourish our communities through baking challah and by donating to food relief organizations. Additionally, we nourish our participants through leadership development and advocacy training.

Through our work, Nazun nourishes leaders and communities to act against college hunger through developing, equipping, and inspiring our participants, as well as physically nourishing those who purchase challah and contribute philanthropically to the direct service efforts of the organization.

Nazun welcomes everyone to participate. Our program and culture are rooted in Jewish values, but our doors are open to everyone to learn more about challah, social justice, and tikkun olam – leaving the world a better place than we found it.

Challah is a braided Jewish egg bread that is traditionally eaten on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath).
