Yodeah’s Seder Plate Highlights Knowledge and Power

This Passover, Federation beneficiary Yodeah is encouraging everyone to add a test tube to their seder plate to celebrate the scientific advances that help free us from the plagues of our time. Working to educate the Jewish community about hereditary genetic cancer mutations, such as those found with the BRCA gene, Yodeah’s suggestion of including a test tube reminds us that a simple saliva test is all that’s needed to learn if someone is BRCA-positive. The test tube also represents the power of knowledge, which enables people to take action based on facts, not assumptions or fear. Yodeah, which means “to know” in Hebrew, asserts that being informed about the risks for hereditary cancer endemic to the Jewish community can saves lives, not just today, but also in future generations. Federation is proud to support Yodeah’s critical work through the Annual Campaign. Click here for more information and to download their Passover Haggadah insert.
