The Jewish Chaplain's Council has been providing services to the US armed forces for Jewish military personnel since WWI.

The Solo Seder Kit Program began in WWII.  Currently, the Council is preparing hundreds of Solo Seder Kits, which include grape juice, matzah, soup, a Haggadah and other holiday items.  The kits will be sent to Jewish military personnel stationed in the Middle East, Germany, Kosovo and around the world.

The cost to sponsor a kit is $14. Please make checks out to JWB Jewish Chaplains Council.

If you know the name of a Jewish soldier you can also include the name of the soldier and a letter with your check, and a kit will be directed to him or her.

I would love to see every family in our congregation sponsor a kit.  I will be collecting checks at our February 3rd service and would like to send them off (with a note from our Temple) ASAP to give the Jewish Chaplains Council time to assemble and send these kits to personnel overseas.

If you have any questions, call Suzanne Trautwein.
