The post-war challenge which faces Hillel in religious leader- ship and Jewish group work is equally thrilling and compelling. The Bnai Brith Hillel Founda- tions are uniquely qualified to provide the returning veteran with the type of religious and Jewish activity to which he has become accustomed in the army and navy. Both the regular Hillel pro- gram as well as the Foundations' varied war service experience with the trainees on the campus have provided the movement with a rich, funded experience in this field. Thousands of young Jews will return to the campus and to civilian life with a broadened and more vital acquaintance with Ju- daism thanks to the magnificent contributions now being made all over the world by the Jewish army and navy chaplains, a num- ber of whom served as Hillel directors. The Judaism of the re- turning veterans, as a result of their service experiences, will be less formalized, their religion more personalized. The rabbi, thanks to the contact with chap- lains, will symbolize for them less the preacher and more the coun- selor, guide and personal friend. The Hillel technique for almost a quarter of a century has been definitely in this direction. It is no exaggeration to point out that the returning veteran will find at the Foundation and in the Hillel rabbi, a counterpart of the community-wide emphasis which he enjoyed in the service.
