country's armed forces.. . . Utilizing archival materials and
interviews with past and present chaplains, the author has enriched
his work."-"Journal of American History",
"Chaplain Slomovitz has opened the door to a previously
undocumented, untold chapter of the history of the Jews in America.
The Fighting Rabbis should be read with great pride by the Jewish
American community, and with admiration by all others."-Vice
Admiral Bernard M. Kauderer(Ret.),

fascinating dimension of Jewish military history."-"H-Net

and fortitude little known to the American public. How I wish it
were required reading for all military chaplains, and for all
clergy and military leaders who care about God's ministry among our
men and women in the armed services. Rabbi Slomovitz has granted us
a record of great significance." -"Rear Admiral Donald K.
Muchow",

of ongoing Jewish commitment to the US and its military."-"Choice",
