With the help of many enlisted men of this Service Command station, each of them using his own special skills, it has been made possible for men of the Jewish faith to conduct their weekly Sabbath evening service in the proper manner with the necessary religious fittings.

Chaplain Bertram Klausner, Newark, N. J., director of the Hillel Foundation at the University of Alabama before he entered the Army, and now serving at headquarters of the Eighth Air Force as chaplain to personnel of the Jewish faith, made a plea through the various subordinate commands that individuals create out of their own making such religious items as an Ark, altar, candelabra, tablets and the traditional Star of Judaism, to be used to conduct their own services.
