Jewish War Veterans of NJ

The Jewish War Veterans of the USA is the oldest active veterans organization in the United States. It was formed in 1896 by a group of Jewish Civil War veterans who organized the Hebrew Union Veterans in direct response to libels that Jews had not served in the American military.

Today, the Jewish War Veterans of the United States combats anti-Semitism in all its forms, carries on an extensive program committed to upholding America’s democratic traditions, and fights bigotry, prejudice, injustice and discrimination of all kinds.

The Department of New Jersey is in the forefront in efforts to educate and inform our governmental legislators on those issues of particular concern to all veterans including funding, services and benefits. Each Jewish War Veterans Post from the New Jersey participate in a “March on the Hill”, down in DC. We talk to all our Federal legislators and make sure that they are aware of our organization’s position on those Veteran issues of vital concern. We support more funding for our veteran’s hospitals, better clinics, Veteran legislation that improves ALL Veterans and their family lives, and we interface with all our State Assembly and Senate Legislators, to improve NJ Veteran issues and the Veteran Homes. To join us, or for questions, contact Commander Chuck Greenberg - 732-599-1558  - chuckgreenberg3@gmail.com
