fgoodwin 23 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 If not for Cub Scouts in Houston, Army Spc. Joseph Lowit would find it next-to-impossible to celebrate Hanukkah. As part of a service project, Pack 1190 from Congregation Emanu El prepared care packages with Hanukkah candles, menorahs and dreidels -- giving Lowit and 150 other soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait a way to mark the holiday. "Thanks to them I can, and I am very grateful," wrote Lowit, a 26-year-old infantryman from Miami who is the only Jewish soldier on his base in Iraq. http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/12/06/hanukkah.soldiers.ap/ Link to post Share on other sites
