The new Armed Forces Hymnal, which was published today, contains a Jewish section of more than 40 pages. The 512-page hymnal, issued by the Armed Forces Chaplains Board, is published to allow “expression of religious faith through the medium of song, praise and worship.”
The Jewish portion includes a fairly complete Friday evening service, a Torah-reading service and several festival hymns. The Jewish section was prepared in consultation with the National Jewish Welfare Board’s Commission on Jewish Chaplaincy.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
