Here are some high-energy, easy-to-eat-en-route, sustaining snacks to make and share along the march route. So fill a thermos with hot soup, a baggie with spiced nuts or good granola, or a small sac of cookies packed with nutritious, delicious ingredients.

For a more substantial meal to eat with one hand while holding a sign in the other, there are cheese-filled bourekas and feta-and-spinach arayas.

And please don’t forget to drink plenty of water.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
