Operation Far From Home is a project established to communicate to our Jewish troops that they are not forgotten. While we cannot bring pots of chicken soup to them we can mail cans of soup along with other kosher foods, Judaic items, requested necessities, and some fun things all packed with love and caring. As they serve in conflicts, they connect us to the realities of a harsh and difficult time in history, and we serve to connect them to the Clal (community).
