The Jewish Welfare Board / Jewish Chaplains Council Assumes Responsibility for Jews in Green
Messages from Capt Jason Rubin, USMC and Rabbi Brad Hoffman, Deputy Director of the JCC follow.

Capt Rubin and those working on Jews in Green have done an excellent job is developing and establishing this supportive website. Many of the Jewish chaplains I work with consider the website an invaluable tool in the rabbinic work they do.

The JWB/Jewish Chaplains Council sees JIG as invaluable asset to the Jewish military community. We want to maintain the quality and accessibility for all the members presently using the website and those who might join in the future. As we assume responsibility we want to ensure the continued success of the site. To this end, I have had extensive discussions with both Capt Rubin and SGT Kresge about ensuring a smooth transition. We have decided to leave the site and SGT Kresge’s role untouched. The JWB/Jewish Chaplains Council does not want to tamper with success.

The JWB/Jewish Chaplains Council views JIG as a means of interaction and community building for Jewish military personnel deployed at home and throughout the globe.  We will continue to support the mission of “learning what resources are available for them, share their experiences with one another, and offer support when needed.”
