Synopsis "Jewish Chaplaincy in the British Armed Forces: Captains of the Souls of Men 1892-2021"

General Montgomery famously said that the most important people in the army are the nursing sisters, who tell the men that they matter to us, and the padres, that they matter to God. The first British Jewish chaplain was appointed in 1892 and ministered in Britain. It was the idea of Reverend Michael Adler, DSO, for Jewish chaplains to serve alongside soldiers in the field in wartime. At 46 Adler spent over three years on the Western Front. Twenty Jewish chaplains served with the Army in WWI, and fifty-six, including twelve locally recruited in mandate Palestine, in WWII. They often had to travel huge distances in search of widely dispersed Jewish soldiers. Jewish chaplaincy consolidated the integration of a minority faith into the British armed forces. This book is based on research in Victorian archives, military records, and family papers. Here Lewis reveals the colourful and untold story of the British Jewish ministry at war, as well as of its military service in peacetime. It is the story too of the many Jewish soldiers who, rarely if ever seeing a chaplain, brought each other such religious solace as they might.
