Plan to Replace
Jewish Chaplains
CINCINNATI, 0. — (Religious
News Service)—The executive
board of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, in spe-
cial session here, voted to ap-
point a committee representing
both the union and Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis to
formulate plans for replacing in
pastoral work the rabbis who
have entered the U. S. Chaplain-
cy Service.
It was reported that 53 of the
84 Jewish leaders now in Army
and Navy chaplaincy service are
from the ranks of the Reform
rabbis, which the board felt was
an "excellent record" considering
that the Reform group was a
minority element in American
Judaism.
Of the 53 Reform chaplains, it
was stated, 37 were graduates of
Hebrew Union College,. Cincin-
nati, and 16 from the Jewish
Institute of Religion, New York
City.
