Passover Pilgrimage To Iraq

Jewish chaplains are hard to come by sometimes, especially in small isolated units. This problem often becomes particularly evident during holidays, when religious leaders are in high demand.

To combat this problem, a New York chapter of the Jewish War Veterans is sending 12 rabbis to the Middle East to conduct seders for the troops. It’s called “Operation Matzoh Meals”.

NorthJersey.com has a story about one of the rabbis making the journey.

I think this is an awesome idea and hope to cover the story more. If anyone has more info on the operation, send me an or post a comment below.
