Two Detroiters, Rabbis Morton M. Berman and Morton J. Cohn,
and a former Detroiter ; Rabbi Henry J. Berkowitz, are among the 25
Rabbis who were drawn from congregations throughout the country
to serve as Chaplains with the Navy.
Wearing the uniforms of the U. S. Navy, these Jewish Chaplains
are serving the religious needs of thousands of Jews engaged in
America's battle of the seas. These religious leaders are on duty at
training stations and at overseas points, performing the tasks involved
in keeping the Jewish men spiritually fit to face and outfight the
enemy.
