Israeli Organization Offers to Help California Recover
From Deadly and Destructive Wildfires
KEREN KAYEMET L’Israel-Jewish National Fund, an Israeli envi-

with recovery efforts related to the California wildfires, JTA reported.

JNF said the organizations have worked together for 30 years.
“We have been following the situation with the horrific wildfires in
California, including the unprecedented destruction of communities
and the devastation to surrounding forests … and want to express
our solidarity, encouragement and support and offer our assistance
if there’s anything we can do to help,” KKL-JNF World Chairman
Daniel Atar said in a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s

In 2006 and 2010, the Forest Service helped KKL-JNF battle forest
fires in Northern Israel.

National Institutes of Health Funds
Monumental Mitzvah Food Program Study

WHEN THE JEWISH Federation’s Mitzvah Food Program launched its
groundbreaking digital ordering system, allowing food pantry clients to
order groceries from personal computers and mobile devices, we were
really excited. It felt like uncharted territory.
Turns out others in the field agreed — so much so that a new research
partnership with the University of Pennsylvania, fueled by a $2.3 million
grant from the National Institutes of Health, has the potential to trans-
form food pantries everywhere.
“This research study will be the first to rigorously evaluate the long-
term behavioral and health effects of low-cost healthy food ‘nudges’ in a
food pantry,” said Christina Roberto of the Perelman School of Medicine’s
Psychology of Eating and Consumer Health (PEACH) lab, who is leading
the study.
Using our online ordering system, Penn’s multiyear random-
ized-controlled trial will examine how food pantry clients are influ-
enced by on-screen interventions, or “nudges.” In other contexts,
nudges — like adding traffic light colors to signal healthy and less-
healthy choices — have successfully led to healthier food choices.
Here, the research team will make nudges via the digital ordering
system’s web interface and then evaluate clients’ resulting food choices A client shops for groceries with the Mitzvah Food Program’s digital ordering system.
