21 Jewish Soldiers to Receive Gifts from Temple

March 4, 2009

After gathering the names and addresses of 21 Jewish soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, we were able to send wonderful packages containing many “comfort items.”

Thanks to Religious School students and Al Rieder for making cards to the soldiers, as well as helping us pack the boxes to be shipped. Special thanks to Omaha Steaks for donating gourmet beef jerky for each box, an item often requested by those serving overseas, also to Gordman’s, for donating many pairs of athletic socks, a necessity for our soldiers.

Thank you also to the many families who donated food and personal items to make our packages even more special.

If you would like to help defray the costs of shipping these gifts, please contact either Danielle Gordman or Susie Norton, or the Temple office.
