The Jewish Federations of North America support Torahs for Our Troops, a project of the JWB Jewish Chaplains Council, which is a service of the Jewish Community Centers Association of North America. Jewish military chaplains are assigned to visit the more than 10,000 Jewish Americans on active duty, to provide a wide range of services including helping them observe Shabbat and the Jewish holidays. JWB has commissioned the writing of six small, lightweight and fully kosher Torah scrolls to accompany the chaplains into the combat theater. For details on how your Federation can bring one of the Torahs to your community and support this project, please contact Ziva Davidovich at 212.786.5099 or visit www.torahsforourtroops.org.
