 FOOD DESERTS
 The events of 2020 have illuminated longstanding disparities in health care that range from the unconscious bias of medical
 professionals, access to insurance and preemptive care and a history of distrust among communities of color of the health care
 system. One of the culprits contributing to this disparity is the existence of food deserts, urban areas in which it is difficult to buy
 affordable or good-quality fresh food.

 According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, food deserts are places where the poverty rate is greater than 20% and a
 third of the population lives more than a mile from a major grocer. Because of high pricing and limited options, residents spend
 disproportionately on less nutritious basics.

 Besides limited grocery options, these areas often lack vehicle availability and adequate public transit, making it difficult for
 residents to reach options elsewhere.

 How far do you have to drive for groceries?
 • What are some ways in which eliminating food deserts would help disparities in health care?
 • What other programs would you encourage in conjunction with the elimination of food deserts?

4    The Window              | AUGUST–SEPTEMBER 2021
WELCOMING 5782 HIGH HOLY DAYS, PP 9-13 - SUKKOT, P 13 - Temple Emanu-El
PRAYER

         The months of August and September are the spiritual crescendo of the Jewish year, from the anticipatory weeks of Elul to the energy
         of Rosh Hashanah to the good-difficult hours of Yom Kippur. Sukkot and Simchat Torah follow, with all the joy and sweetness that
         accompanies fall’s bounty and a new cycle of Torah. Through it all, Shabbat continues to anchor us each and every week.

         Our Elul Shabbatot will include a visit from longtime friend and member José Bowen in a musical leadership role and a round-table
         discussion with our clergy about their own spiritual preparation for this time.

         Temple is dedicated to being a multi-access community of prayer. We are holding in-person services in Stern Chapel on Friday nights
         and Saturday mornings. We are also continuing to offer our warm and welcoming online experience. More details can be found on
         our website at tedallas.org and in the Thursday guide to Shabbat email.
