We stand for Jewish pride, identity and American Jewish military service to our nation

Jewish War Veterans of the USA, established in 1896

Join us to support the functions JWV fulfills.

As our veterans return from current conflicts, wounded in both mind and body, the JWV stands ready, as it has since 1896, to ensure that those who have served in our nation’s armed forces receive the treatment and respect they deserve from a grateful nation through JWV’s access to VA and government officials.

As a member of the JWV, you will continue a proud tradition of service to our country and to the Jewish community here and abroad.
