In conjunction with the Los Angeles-based military support organization Project M.O.T., Temple Emanu-El recently oversaw the cre- ation and donation of handmade and hand- written Chanukah cards, a news release says. These cards were collected at Temple Ema- nu-El, then mailed to Project M.O.T. for inclu- sion in its Chanukah care packages for Jewish soldiers.
