THE JEWISH SOLDIER FOUNDATION "FIGHTING FOR THOSE WHO FIGHT FOR US"
Our Mission The Jewish Soldier Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the Jewish men and women who daily risk their lives defending freedom and democracy. Our mission is three fold:
to advocate for Jewish soldiers by working with the military and the U.S. Congress to provide educational resources for Jewish soldiers about the rich history and traditions of their faith to offer Jewish soldiers and their families all the elements necessary to observe the tenets of their faith, including books, kosher food, and the full spectrum of ritual services.
Fighting to protect the values of diversity and freedom of religion that are the bedrocks of American values, Jewish soldiers often encounter barriers to observing their own faith while serving in the armed forces. Observant Jews, whose religious tradition is based on strict adherence to ritual law known as halacha, often meet unexpected roadblocks while in military service, due to ignorance, bureaucracy, or both. The Jewish Soldier Foundation is dedicated to breaking down these barriers, so that Observant Jews can serve in the military without having to sacrifice their ancient faith. We believe that Jewish soldiers, who have a long history of serving with valor in this country's wars, should not be forced to choose between serving G-d and country.
