A hard core of 10 indi-
viduals regularly attend serv-
ices. Most of the congregants
are c i v ili an professionals
working in mathematics,
statistics, or science; men
Twenty-nine thousand people
of all faiths, civilian and mili-
tary personnel, work in the
Pentagon. On special occasions
the Chaplain figures that ap-
proximately 25 Jews will fill
half the room. On regular days
the number will fluctuate be-
tween 8 and 12. Although no
statistics on the number of
Jews working at . the Pentagon
are available, it is guessed that
about 3 percent of the Jewish
Defense Department employees
attend. the noon service. And
the number is increasing, the
Chaplain says.
The small room that con-
verts to a synagogue for 35
minutes each week-day is
windowless and square. About
50 theater type seats, 10 to a
row, face a portable field altar
draped in red velvet displaying
a Star of David and the Ten
Commandment symbol. On one
side the altar is bounded by
the American flag, on the other
side by a Jewish flag. A soft
green curtain, used as a back-
drop, covers the projection
room's movie screen when the
synagogue comes to life. The
pale green is echoed in the
seats; the walls are panelled
in beige unfinished plywood;
and a rose carpet serves to
warm the little room which is
lit by muted light concealed
in the ceiling.
In this room Reform, Con-
servative, Orthoddx, and skep-
tical Jews come together to
create a new tolerance for
each other and a new unity
for Judaism. In effect, the
best compromise is found
generally in the Conserva-
tive service. Reform Jews
cover their heads, with yar-
mulkas as a sign of respect
for the customs of Conserva-
tive and Orthodox Jews. Or-
thodox Jews. have to overlook
some of the traditional cere-
monial rules since lack of
time necessitates it. And Con-
servative and Orthodox Jews
must do without the Cantor
and the rituals normally a
part of their worship.
Four years ago the Chief
Chaplain of the Army started
a non-denominational service
for interested people at the
Pentagon. Jews, Catholics, and
Protestants were welcomed to
attend services during their
"free" noon hour. But the non-
denominatior_ service lasted only
one year. The necessity to avoid
any reference or symbol that
might offend any believer had
turned the service into arid
neutralism bordering on noth-
ingness.
Therefore the Chief Chaplain
decided to offer three separate
services for Catholic, Protestant
and , Jew. Chaplain Kleinberg
then began conducting the
Jewish services.
