Chaplaincy Administrator Meets Chaplain Son In Germany
A father and a son, the father a chaplain in World War II and
now engaged in matters of military chaplaincy, the son an
active chaplain, recently met at the United States Military
Chaplaincy post in Germany where both have given service.
Rabbi David Eichorn, director of field activities of the com-
mission on Jewish chaplaincy of the Jewish Welfare Board,
was with the Seventh Army troops which liberated Nurmberg
and Munich, and held the first Jewish services at the Dachau
concentration camp after it was liberated in 1945. His son,
Chaplain Jonathan Eichorn is presently serving in the Stuttgart
Post Chaplain section of the Seventh Army. The father-son
meeting took place during Rabbi Eichorn's Air Force-sponsored
tour of visits with Jewish Air Force chaplains at installations
abroad. Both father and son were ordained by Hebrew Union
College-Jewish Institute of Religion.

signifies the relatively negative
and impure. In one's actions
one always begins with the posi-
