Beth El Upholds
Human Rights
At its regular meeting of July
2,1979, the Board of Trustees of
Temple Beth El, Charlotte, N.C.
unanimously passed the follow
ing resolution:
The Rabbi and Board of
Trustees of Temple Beth El of
Charlotte, North Carolina, in
consonance with the traditional
Jewish ethnic, express their in
tense moral concern over the
tragic plight of the Vietnamese
refugees presently suffering loss '
of life in genocidal proportion.
As Jews, seared by the
memory of the Holocaust, we
condemn the cynical, inhumane
practices of the Vietnamese
government.
Cognizant of our American
ideals of enhancing human
rights both here and abroad, we
urge President Carter and our
legislators to continue to do all
in their power to bring im
mediate relief to the victims of
Vietnamese brutality, to in
crease our own refugee immigra
tion quotas, and otherwise
ameliorate their suffering.

High Holy Days for Jews in Military
NEW YORK - The High
Holy Days this year will be
observed by U.S. Jewish
military personnel and their
families in such far-flung places
as Germany, Greece, Turkey,
Italy and the Far East as well as
in the U.S., through
arrangements made by Jewish
chaplains and JWB’s Commis
sion on Jewish Chaplaincy.
“There are only 55 full-time
Jewish military and Veterans
Administration chaplains,”
says Rabbi Judah Nadich, Com
mission chairman. “The Com
mission will help mobilize
civilian and reserve rabbis to
conduct Rosh Hashana and
Yom Kippur services at every
base where there are Jews.”
This year Rosh Hashana will
begin at sundown on September
21 and end after sunset
September 23. Yom Kippur will
begin on the evening of
September 30 and end at night
fall the following day.
Both JWB’s Commission on
Jewish Chaplaincy and JWB’s
Women’s Organizations’ Ser
vices have sent shipments of
prayer books and prayer
shawls, yarmulkes, Torah
scrolls, shofars (ram’s horns),
Jewish calendars and in
spirational literature for use
during Rosh Hashana, Yom
Kippur, Sukkot, Shemini
Atzeret and Simhat Torah.
Services will run the gamut
from large assemblies in base
chapels to small gatherings on
isolated sites or ships at sea.
They will be held in the early
snows or freezes of Fairbanks,
Alaska or in the tropical heat of
Subic Bay in the Philippines.
The first services will take place
on Guam, just across the Inter
national Date line, and star
ting times will follow the sun.
Pearl Harbor traditionally has
the honor of being the last to
finish its post-Yom Kippur
shofar blast signalling the end
of the High Holiday period.
Tlie Chaplaincy Commission
of JWB will work with the place
ment services of the (Central
Conference of American Rab
bis, the Rabbinical Assembly,
and the Rabbinical Council of
America in helping to arrange
civilian rabbinical coverage at
the many military bases and
VA facilities that lack permanet
Jewish chaplains.
Traditional Selihot prayers
and liturgical melodies of the
High Holy Days and Aukkotare
available on three Commission-
produced tape cassettes.
“While ambulatory patients
generally attend hospital ser
vices,” Rabbi Nadich notes,
“The cassettes are often played
over VA hospital networks so
that bedridden Jewish patients
can participate as well.” Jewish
chaplains arrange special
“break-the-fast” suppers for
those patients who fast on Yom
Kippur.
Holiday leave policy for
Jewish servicemen is
traditionally liberal. Those ser
vicemen who can’t get home for
the holidays are offered home
hospitality by local Jewish
families. Single men and
women are often guests of
military families on their bases.
Local Jewish communcal
organizations cooperate in holi
day arrangements with the
Jewish chaplains, the JWB
Chaplaincy Commission and
JWB’s Women’s Organiations’
Services.
