Louis Levine will be master of

chestra will provide dance music.
Passover will be observed this year by more members
of the American armed forces than ever before in the his-
tory of the United States.
Plans and supplies for the observance of the holiday
have been furnished by the National Jewish Welfare Board
in cooperation with commanding officers, chaplains, both
Jewish and Christian, JWB work-
ers, civilian rabbis and hundreds
of communities in this country
and overseas.
"The Jewish Welfare Board,"
states Frank L. Weil, its presi-
dent, "is making plans so every
Jewish man and woman in the
service who wishes to, can ob-
serve the Passover at special
services in camp, in communi-
ties either through group seders
or in private homes, in the field
—in fact, wherever they are sta-
tioned."
Supplies Sent Out
The JWB has already sent out
thousands of pounds of matzos,
hundreds of gallons of sacramen-
tal wine, and thousands of
Haggadahs (Passover pr ay e r
books) to the four corners of
the earth to make the observ-
ance possible.
Non-Jewish chaplains at over-
seas points where there are no
Jewish chaplains have been sent
V-mail requesting their coopera-
tion in making effective arrange-
ments for the observance of
Pasover by members of the Jew-
ish faith.
At present there are 17 Jewish
chaplains overseas, including
Morton A. Bauman of Detroit,
who are stationed at points rang-
ing from China to Africa—and in
between. Eight more are await-
ing overseas orders.
Services for Disabled
In addition to the Jewish chap-
lains there are 40 JWB workers,
committees and representatives
at overseas points to aid Jewish
servicemen plan for the Passover
and all other Jewish holidays.
Disabled Jewish veterans who
are stationed in Veterans Hospi-
tals and Soldiers and Sailors
Homes will participate in the
Jewish Welfare Board's overall
plans of bringing Passover into
the lives of our men—whether in
this war or disabled from the last.
A regulation permits those able
to travel to be furloughed for the
two seder days. For those un-
able to leave, the JWB worker
will arrange for seder services.
Thirty-five national Jewish or-
ganizations are affiliated with the
Jewish Welfare Board which is
a constituent agency of the USO.
