The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of Shai Even, James

true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:
(1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the
undersigned's capacity as a director of Alon USA Energy, Inc. (collectively with
its subsidiaries, the "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;
(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
undersigned that may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such
Form 3, 4 or 5 and timely file any such form or forms with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority;
and
(3) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with
the foregoing that, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
to, in the best interest of, or legally required by the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this power of attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's sole discretion.
The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact and any of
them full power and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing
whatsoever requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of
the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as
the undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full power of
substitution or revocation, hereby ratifying and confirming all acts that any
such attorney-in-fact, or any such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes,
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this power of attorney and
the rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that none of
the foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of
the undersigned, are assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the

Exchange Act of 1934.
The execution by the undersigned of this power of attorney hereby
expressly revokes and terminates any powers of attorney previously granted by

securities issued by the Company, unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a
signed writing delivered to the foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this power of attorney to
