Protecting the Protectors: Jewish identity classes for soldiers
Unfortunately, current world events dictate that our young Jewish men and women still need to risk their lives daily to protect the Jewish people around the world. This year, you can give our IDF soldiers the gift that keeps giving – a Jewish identity class/shiur.
For just $50, a rabbi/lecturer will be dispatched to an army base where he will bring the unit together for some light refreshments and a class on a timely topic. The Jewish army is a microcosm of the ingathering of the exiles with members serving who hail from Ethiopia, Russia, Canada, America, England, France and every other country in the world! Imagine all of these young soldiers studying together as the People of the Book!
While the evening’s class will end, the memory of the experience will last far beyond that evening, and it will all be in the merit of your family! And in this way, you will have offered these soldiers an added element of protection as they go on their patrols to protect us!
Please note, individual classes can be dedicated in memory of a loved one with the traditional recital of the kaddish for the person’s yartzheit; in honor of a special birthday or graduation; as an extension of a simcha you are celebrating; simply for the mitzvah!
