Editor’s Note:  It is so encouraging to see our endorsing agencies so publicly doing so much for us and our families.  I’m pleased to report this and the program (below) sponsored by the JWB Jewish Chaplain’s Council and B’nai Brith International.

Aleph is offering FREE Chanukah Menorahs, Candles, Complete Story of Chanukah booklets (which include the blessings and laws for the lighting of the Menorah) and Dreidels (traditional spin-tops commemorating the miracle of Chanukah) to all Jewish military personnel and their families for the Chanukah holiday. It is customary that each individual light their own Menorah.  Aleph is therefore willing to provide individual Menorahs and candles for each and every Jewish member of the Armed Forces.

We will ship all these items at our expense to any address where Jewish men or women are stationed—FREE OF CHARGE --

Aleph will continue to support the Jewish men and women of our Armed Forces in any way that we can.

Please feel free to contact us for all of your Jewish religious needs.

Please take the time to respond by providing us with the following information:

1) Name of chaplain, lay leader or other person to whom the packages should be sent at each location (We’d like to ship them in bulk wherever possible.)
2) Complete mailing address (APO). If your location is in the United States please do not give us a military (APO) address as we prefer to ship packages via UPS.
3) Which bases or location of troops the delivery will cover (so we do not duplicate.) Please copy all other Chaplains, Rabbis or Lay leaders that may also be ordering for the same personnel on your email response to us.
4) How many of each item do you need for the Jewish military members at your location?

PLEASE E-MAIL YOUR RESPONSE TO:

For more information or to order by phone please call (305) 864-5553.

Aleph is offering a new program for the children of active duty and deployed Jewish military personnel

Since many deployed and active duty personnel may find it difficult to buy and send their children gifts for Chanukah, Aleph is offering to do it for them. We will ship Chanukah gifts to all the young (age 15 and under only) children and grandchildren of active-duty and deployed military personnel! The children will receive an age and gender appropriate gift and the gift will look like it came directly from the parent or grandparent. Attached, please find a form which can be filled out scanned and emailed back to us or faxed back to us at 305-864-5675.  If you cannot print and fax the form back to us please send us the following information by e-mail to :  Your name and email address, name of child, relationship to child, age of child, gender of child and address of child, (Please make sure to include apt #’s and any other information). Please let us know what you would like the card to say (i.e. “from Mommy”, “from Daddy”)?

Please forward the attached form or this offer to all Jewish military personnel.
