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.
