Jewish Soldiers Find a Spiritual Home at Fort Jackson

by Karen Schwartz – Chabad.org

Illustration Photo: Jewish soldiers celebrate the High Holidays with the help of the Aleph Institute.

When Rabbi Henry Sousson went through training at Fort Jackson in 2002, area Jewish options were limited, and being able to participate in Jewish holiday celebrations was tough. Nearly 10 years later, the instructor at the Columbia, S.C., installation’s chaplain school is proud of the Chabad-Lubavitch run Aleph House, which gives civilians and soldiers a Jewish base while they’re away from home.

Op-Ed: Why Are People Defending the Predators?

by a Survivor

I am a victim of abuse. Well actually, I’m a survivor. I no longer consider myself a victim, as I am slowly breaking out of that lowly hell, and moving forward to a better place in life. I came forward a little while ago about the abuse I went through, and doing so was one of the biggest and most painful decisions I had made in my life. It was like pulling off the scab off an old wound that never healed properly.
