Uriel Heilman over at the JTA recently wrote a great article about celebrating the holidays overseas.

In the article, Rabbi Felzenberg talks about his battalion’s own Army engineers bulding him a sukkah, “which could likely withstand a hurricane!” He is also trying to get the welders to make “a nice display-size menorah for Chanukah.” How is that for support!

It’s been a little while since the press has covered the Jewish service members in Iraq and Afghanistan, and this is a nice update on Jewish life in the trenches there.  Check out the full article HERE.
