  1. Is AJMSI affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. military?

    AJMSI is a consortium of private organizations that are not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Defense (DOD) or the military services. One of our member organizations, the JWB Jewish Chaplains Council, is accredited by a DOD entity, the Armed Forces Chaplains Board, as an ecclesiastical endorser of military chaplains. AJMSI’s private organizations all believe strongly in the value of U.S. military service by Jewish Americans.

  2. What types of organizations will AJMSI support with speakers?

    We will provide a speaker to any American Jewish organization. Our speakers can talk about military service to Jews of all ages, from young children to seniors, and from all sectors of the American Jewish community.

  6. Can we request a virtual speaker?

    Yes, some of our most successful engagements are via Zoom or other virtual platform. We are happy to provide a speaker to speak about Jewish service in the United States Armed Forces in the best venue for each organization.

  7. How can I volunteer to become a speaker?
