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." american jewish congress $1.1 Million in Bonds Sold at Shaarey Zedek Reception Shown at the first of two receptions prior to the Cong.
