Dr. Berkowitz's Book
Tells Adventures in
Navy Training Center

BOOT CAMP. Ey Henry J. Berko
witz. Philadelphia: The Jewiih
Society of America.

While World War II was in
progress and hordes of uniformed
young men on leave were every-
where in evidence, the average
civilian used to wonder about
these boys: how they got along
with one another, how their lives
as human beings,• rather than. -as
soldiers or sailors, were regulat-
ed and, in general, what .a train-
ing camp was like. We knew, of
course, that there were such
people as chaplains; but what
did chaplains do besides conduct-
ing religious seicvices _ once a
week?
Dr. Henry Berkowitz, (former
assistant rabbi at Temple Beth
El, Detroit) who was himself a
naval chaplain in World War II,
answers these questions. Instead
of writing a report in the tedi-
ous manner of an exposition, he
does so in the style of a rip
roaring adventure story which
makes absorbing reading. Dr.
Berkowitz is widely known to
the American Jewish reading
public for his thrilling novel,
"The Fire Eater," where a Jewish
boy is a hero in World War I.
"Bbot Camp" is the story of
Buck Levy who funs away from
home, although he is under age,
and 'joins the Navy in World
War II. He meets so many ad-
ventures, that every page of the
book is a thriller. Incidentally;
we learn much Navy lore and a
great deal about the life of a
Jewish boy in a training camp.
Rear Admiral W. N. Thomas,
Chief of Chaplains of the Urlited
States Navy, has the following to
say about Dr. Berkowitz's book:

• "Chaplain Berkowitz has faithfully
portrayed •that marvelous interplay
between the sincere, efficient chaplain
and his men. He has observed the
colorful though sometimes exasper-
ating details of Navy life, and has
translated with fidelity the leer- of
that Navy life . ."

.-,Dr. Berkowitz, Rabbi of Temple
Beth Isreal, Portland, Oregon,
and author of "Boot Camp," is
a graduate of the Hebrew Union
College, Class .of 1921. He has
served as rabbi in Detroit, Kansas
City and Portland.
His career a a Navy Chaplain
took him to the big boot camp
at Sampson, New York, where
. thousands of Jewish. blue jackets
,went for training. It was the
largest congregation of Jews in
the armed forces and made mili-
tary, as well as Jewish, history
Chaplain Berkowitz was sent to
the south Pacific for a tour of
duty in the forward area where
he saw plenty of action.
He is president of the Alumni
Association of the Hebrew Union
College. He received an honor-
- ary LL.D. from the Oregon State
' College and is a leader in • every
- important enterprise.
- "Boot Camp" is available on
the membership plan of. The Jew-
" ish Publication Society and
-counts :as a half-book on the
membership quota.
