Chaplains and lay leaders need to get their Chanukah and more importantly their Passover orders in soon.

If you have not already ordered your Chanukah supplies, download this form and submit it to the JWB ASAP.  Your best bet is to email it to directly.  The requested date is today (the 27th), but better late than never.

This year Passover begins at sundown, Monday, April 2, 2007 and concludes at nightfall on Tuesday, April 10.

It may seem early to be thinking about Passover, but with the quantity of items along with the logistics involved, leaders need to place their orders as soon as possible, especially for those deployed overseas, if you want to ensure they get there on time.

There are two different Passover Seder kits.  The Rabbi/Leader kit (NSN # 9925-01-526-3373) is for persons leading the seder.  The participant kit (NSN # 9925-01-526-3364) is for those attending the seder. Personnel unable to attend a community seder who plan to conduct their own private Seder should order the Rabbi/Leader kit.  Each kit contains all items necessary for two Passover Seders.

Chaplains in the Southwest Asia area of operations should work with Food Service personnel to ensure all Passover supply requests are sent to CW4 Peter Gaber, CFLCC C4.  CW4 Gaber is in Kuwait.  He is responsible for ensuring that SWA Passover supplies are rolled-up and ordered through DLA.  CW4 Gaber’s e-mail address is:
