NEW YORK — A 30-
year-old Lubavitcher rabbi,
Jacob Goldstein, has won a
fight to keep his beard while
serving as a chaplain with
the Army National Guard.
After being recruited as a
chaplain and joining the
Guard, the rabbi was
quietly told to shave his
beard in compliance with
Army regulations.
He refused, was dropped
from the Army payroll but
continued to attend
monthly drills while appe-
aling. Two New York Con-
gressmen interceded and
the commanding general is-
sued a ruling based on a
Jewish Welfare Board
recommendation that al-
though wearing a beard is
not a Jewish religious re-
quirement, "it is a common
expression of piety."
