A Jewish Chaplain in France

A first-person account by a Jewish military chaplain recounts service overseas during the war, describing the legal and organizational steps that allowed Jewish chaplains to serve, the committee that vetted candidates, and the volunteer character of the ministry. It depicts daily duties ministering to Jewish soldiers in camps and hospitals, welfare work in France, visits to recreational areas while on leave, and the chaplain's interactions that influenced troop morale. Interwoven are reflections on faith, interdenominational cooperation among chaplains, and concerns about public forgetting and the moral aftermath of conflict.
