THE JEWISH NEWS
153 Rabbis Now Serving
As Army, Navy Chaplains
War Hero to Speak
At Pisgah Lodge's
Bond Rally Tuesday
Rabbi Stone Tells of Administering fo Christians and
S/Sgf. Kaminsky, Home on
Jewish Boys at Services, of Burying German
Convalescent Furlough,
Soldiers in Tunisia
Tells of Experiences
(News from Jewish Chaplains on
active duty as gathered by the
Committee on Army and Navy Re-
ligious Activities of the Jewish
Welfare Board.)
One hundred and fifty three
rabbis — Orthodox, Reform and
Conservative — have thus far
donned military uniforms to
serve men and women in the
Army and Navy. Twenty-one
more rabbis have been endorsed
for service by the Committee on
Army and Navy Religious Activi-
ties of the Jewish Welfare Board.
It is probable that before the
year ends there will be a Jewish
chaplains' group of 200—eight
times as many as in World War I.
Twenty-one of the Jewish
chaplains are serving overseas
and eleven others are enroute or
will leave shortly. Others will
follow.
Commonplace Phrase
It has become commonplace to
say, "There are no atheists in
fox-holes." But the phrase takes
on all the hardships, danger and
spiritual revival in this war for
freedom, when one reads the de-
scription by Chaplain Earl S.
Stone of the advance of his unit
(the 18th infantry) through
Tunisia.
The men were in action contin-
uously and it therefore was im-
possible to gather for formal re-
ligious services. But the chaplain
was with them at their side, ad-
vancing under fire and sleeping
in a self-dug fox hole.
Chaplain Stone ministered to
both the Christians and Jews in
his unit, just as Christian chap-
lains all over the world are serv-
ing their Jewish men. He acted
as stretcher - bearer to evacuate
the wounded and buried their
dead.
Gather to Pray
Finally, Tunis was captured
and the Jewish men were able to
gather together to give thanks tc
the Lord. Chaplain Stone re-
ported:
"I held services in two battal-
ions, the first in two months. But
the men all assured me that they
have been on very good terms
with the Lord, as they have been
in close contact with him in their

fox-holes and I can say the same
for myself."
Chaplain Stone adds a P. S.
"Perhaps I should include in
my report that I buried a lot of
Germans. Hitler wouldn't like to
know that a Jewish chaplain
took care of his good Aryan
soldiers, would he?"
There are four other Jewish
chaplains now in North Africa,
Samuel M. Kaufman, Irving Tep-
per and two brothers, Emanuel
M. Honig and Jacob J. Honig.
Chaplain Tepper had the unusual
experience of conducting a Pass-
over service for North African
Jews in the Corps Franc d'Afri-
que.
Other Satisfactions
Besides history-making Jewish
services with liberated French
soldiers, there are many other
personal satisfactions in the work
of the Jewish chaplains, both
here and abroad. Not the least of
these stems from the moving let-
ters received from hte parents
and the wives of the men in serv-
ice.
Chaplain Edward Ellenbogen
at Chanute Field, Illinois, finds
several dozen replies in his mail-
box every week. Many come
from parents, who are thankful
that their sons are continuing
their religious training under the
Chaplain's guidance. Others are
gratified that their sons are gain-
ing a spiritual faith, which was
absent in civilian life.
TALMUDIC WISDOM
Do not split yourself into
many groups but be united.
Credited officially with down-
ing four Zeros and two probables,
S/Sgt. Louis Kaminsky, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Isadore Kaminsky
of 1676 Gladstone Ave., is home
on a convales-
cent fit rl ough
after being hit;
in the leg and
thigh by flak
while on a
bomb ing mis
sion over Japan-
ese territory.
S/Sgt. Kam-
insky, gunner
on a bomber
has received the
Distingu i s h e d Sgt. Kaminsky
Flying Cross, Air Medal and Oak
Leaf Cluster and the Purple
Heart for his outstanding work
while on 64 bombing missions.
He will speak at the War Bond
Rally of Pisgah Lodge of Bnai
Brith at Temple Beth El, June
29.
S/Sgt. Kaminsky is 25 years
old.
Among his experiences, the
most uncomfortable one, he says,
was spending 20 hours in a fox-
hole when the Japs bombed Hen-
derson Field, where he was 'sta-
tioned. While on reconnaissance
duty over the Pacific, his plane
ran into a major sea battle and
was attacked by 11 Zeros. They
managed to escape, however, but
not until they had knocked down
two. He • recalls, with extreme
pleasure, the time he went up on

THE SCROLL OF THE LAW
The Scroll is a copy of the Five
Books of Moses, written on sheets
of parchment, especially prepared
for the purpose from skins of
animals permitted for food in ac-
cordance with Jewish laws. The
parchment is attached at each
end to wooden rods, so that it can
be rolled in the form of a scroll.
The preparation of the Scroll is
usually done by a professional
copyist, called a sofer (scribe).
