The good folks over at The Jewish Channel are looking to produce a feature story on Jews who are returning from Iraq, Afghanistan, and other combat areas. If you recently served in any of those areas, they would like to interview you for their TV program. The intent of the story is to focus on Jewish veterans returning home, but they are also interested in stories of Jewish experiences in war, such as unique holiday celebrations or Shabbat in austere locations.
If you aren’t familiar with The Jewish Channel, they are a premium channel available across the country on most cable and satellite TV plans. They produce some excellent programming and have a wide viewing audience.
They are located in New York, so are preferably looking for service members in the New York / New Jersey area (or those willing to travel to their location for an interview). If you or anyone you know would be interested in participating in the piece, please contact me via email and I will get you in touch with the producer.
This is a unique and special opportunity to share our military experiences with the Jewish community and the American community as a whole. As such, I’m asking that you share this post with anyone you know that might be able to make a connection with someone who might be able to contribute.
CPT Rubin,
I’d be honored to participate. I redeployed from Iraq 36 hours before Thanksgiving 2011. Without being haughty, I was the last Jewish Chaplain in Iraq and it was definitely interesting preparing for the Chagim as well as some additional challenges/experiences.
