UJA-Federation of New York's #MatzahChallenge

For every matzah photo posted during Passover with the hashtag #MatzahChallenge, an $18 donation will go to help someone in need

There's a reason why Passover is the most celebrated holiday among American Jews. While we invite "all who are hungry to come and eat" and celebrate our freedom, the holiday also allows us to create modern interpretations on tradition.

So this year, take the #MatzahChallenge – a simple and meaningful way to give back and help those who are still struggling with modern-day afflictions.

For every matzah photo posted using the hashtag #MatzahChallenge, an $18 donation will go to help someone in need, thanks to an anonymous donor.

Here's how it works:

  1. Take a picture of your matzah creation, between March 30th and April 7th.
  2. Post it on social media with #MatzahChallenge & tag a friend to take the challenge too.
  3. Enjoy, knowing you've done a mitzvah!

So whether it's matzah for breakfast, lunch, or a midnight snack, every meal is an opportunity to give back!
