Sukkah Stands Tall at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland

Nestled within the U.S. Army’s oldest active proving ground, a sukkah was built at Aberdeen Proving Ground by Baltimore Shliach Rabbi Chesky Tenenbaum for the Jewish residents to eat and bentch Lulav.

Thanks to the efforts of Baltimore Shliach Rabbi Chesky Tenenbaum, director of the Jewish Uniformed Service Association of Maryland-Chabad, a Sukka was built at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The Sukka is located in the courtyard of the main Chapel, and is available for use by the Jewish members of APG throughout the days of Chol Hamoed.

JUSA hosted a Sukka Party on the third day of Chol Hamoed that was well attended by soldiers and employees of APG, were they had a chance to do the Mitzvah of Lulav and Estrog and make a Brocha in the Sukka.

JUSA would like to thank the new Garrison Chaplain (MAJ), Jay June Kim and his office for all their help and assistance.
