Aberdeen Proving Ground,, MD - Dec. 18, 2024  -Thanks to Rabbi Chesky Tenenbaum, director of the Jewish Uniformed Service Association-Chabad, a 9-foot Menorah has been erected at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

The Menorah stands on one of the base's busiest streets, bringing festive light to the more than 20,000 U.S. Army personnel who live and work at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

In addition to the Menorah installation, a Pre-Chanukah celebration was held at the base. APG Garrison Chaplain Major Kim, along with soldiers and employees from the APG community, attended the event. Guests received Menorah kits to help celebrate the holiday.

The Jewish Uniformed Service Association (JUSA) expressed its gratitude to the APG Main Post Chapel for their ongoing support of the Jewish community at Aberdeen Proving Ground throughout the year.
