New Jewish Prayer Book for GIs

A new 470-page "Prayer Book for Jewish Personnel in
Armed Forces" was published by U.S. Army with editorial aid
of the National Jewish Welfare Board's Commission on Jewish
Chaplaincy. Rabbi Aryeh Lev, Brooklyn, N.W., director of the
JWB Chaplaincy Commission, accepts from Maj. Gen. Patrick J.
Ryan, retiring Army Chief of Chaplains, a copy of the Prayer
Book at exercises in Pentagon. The book, continuing services in
Hebrew and English for all occasions in the Hebrew calendar,
is the latest revision of a work distributed by JWB to Jewish GIs
since World War II. Looking on is Brig. Gen. Frank A. Tobey

USO-JWB to Bring Hanukah's
Light to Jewish GIs the World Over

Thousands of Jewish military
personnel on duty at U.S. mis-
sile rocket, jet and aircraft
warning stations in this coun-
try will join their fellow Jews
at military posts round the globe
in the celebration of Hanukah,
which will be ushered in on
Pearl Harbor Day, Dec. 7.
Hanukah candlelighting serv-
ices, latke parties, dreidel spins
and children's programs will be
the rule in the U.S. and over
seas. Adding zest to the many
programs to be held in army
posts, synagogues and USO
clubs, will be the gifts fur-
nished by Serve-A committees
of Jewish Welfare Board's
Women's Organizations' Divi-
sion. Some of these gifts will
be distributed at a Hanukah
party in Nurnberg, Germany, at
a candlelighting service for GI
children. The youngsters will
be hosts to 20 German children
from the city of Furth. JWB
gifts will also find their way to
lonely stations in Germany,
where U.S. GIs are . on patrol
along the communist East Zone
border.
The story of Hanukah will be
told at Vandenberg Missile
Base, Cal., Huntsville Missile

Seminary Re-Organizes
Rabbinical Training

Seeking to evaluate the
nationwide concern over edu-
cational standards and achieve-
ments, the Jewish Theological
Seminary of America has re-
organized its rabbinical train-
ing program, establishing a
Rabbinical Department, in place
of the Rabbinical school. The
new department has two parts,
a Graduate Rabbinical School,
offering a three-year course,
and leading to ordination; and
a School of Judaica, offering a
program of one to three years
leading to the degree of Master
of Hebrew Literature.
The new curriculum plans is
designed both to meet the
changing needs of the young
men now applying for admis-
sion to the Rabbinical School,
and to train rabbis equipped
with the highest possible aca-
demic qualifications to serve
the American Jewish commun-
ity. The last far-reaching cur-
ricular change at the Semin-
ary was made in 1902, when
the then new president, Solo-
mon Schechter, formalized the
requirement that all candidates
for the rabbinical school must
be graduates of recognized col-
leges of universities.

GIs will make merry in Atlan-
ta at a Hanukah party to be
sponsored jointly by JWB and
the local Bnai Brith. Similar
functions will be held at Ft.
Bragg, where a committee of 20
GI wives is in charge of the
Hanukah celebration, and in
Kingston and New Salem, N. C.,
where the local businessmen
are stocking up Hanukah gifts
for the men from Cherry Point
Marine Station. Jewish Com-
munity Centers in Virginia will
house Hanukah functions. In
Norfolk, a bazaar will be
manned by junior hostesses and
GIs. A unique switch will take
place at Ft. Bragg, N.C., when
GIs will be hosts to JWB volun-
teers from Fayetteville.
Cadets at the U.S. Air Force
Academy at Colorado Springs
will celebrate at a party to be
held at the school. Under JWB
auspices junior hostesses from
Kansas City will trek 250 miles
(round trip) to help with fes-
tivities at Ft. Riley, Kansas.
In Texas, the USO-JWB man
will ride the circuit to the most
remote places. A mammoth
party is slated in San Antonio,
and on the West Coast, Hanukah
will come to such isolated desert
places as Camp Pendleton, larg-
est Marine base in the U.S.,
Twenty Nine Palms Marine
Base, Camp Irwin, and George
and Edwards Air Force Bases,
thanks to the efforts of the Los
Angeles JWB Committee.
