Thanks, Red. There aren’t many rabbis in the chaplaincy, so I hope we can keep this one. He sounds like a good guy. I’m passing this article on to an old Rabbi Chaplain Buddy. He’ll be delighted to see it.
I have a nephew that is dying to be a Marine (like dad) -— probably decided against it because remaining observant was too difficult.
I think he is going to do the “lone soldier” program in Israel like his cousin (also my nep). Scared because (like me) his modern Hebrew sucks.
