The Stars and Stripes covers the efforts of a US military Jewish Chaplain serving the troops while in Germany.  Chaplain Avi Weiss admirably faces a daunting task as one of the few Jewish Chaplains for members of a faith spread across much of the European theatre.  He has previously served at the equally (or more) challenging Army facilities in South Korea, as well as Army bases in the United States.

The Chaplain already has a religious newsletter and has been called upon for an interesting reason:

[Weiss went to] Wiesbaden recently for a change of command ceremony for a Jewish officer who felt it was very important to have a rabbi lead the invocation…

“It was important to me because every single event in the Army starts out with a benediction…about 99 percent of the time that is from a Christian chaplain,” [incoming commander] Capt. Joseph Billingsley said. “I wanted to have that Jewish chaplain because I’m Jewish.”

Notably, an ongoing lawsuit against the Defense Department would end that very practice, if it is successful.
