Jewish Chaplaincy in the British Armed Forces

Institute of Jewish Studies UCL and the Jewish Historical Society of England

A talk on how a minority faith was integrated into the British armed forces.

Book Launch held jointly with the Jewish Historical Society / Institute of Jewish Studies. Our first in-person meeting for over two years.Jewish chaplaincy consolidated the integration of a minority faith into the British armed forces. Retired Judge Dr Jonathan Lewis reveals, with a powerpoint presentation, the untold and colourful story of the British Jewish ministry at war and of its military service in peacetime. [Based upon his PhD at UCL, his ground-breaking contribution to British, Jewish, religious and military history derives from years of research in Victorian archives, military records and family papers.] His book, Jewish Chaplaincy in the British Armed Forces, Captains of the Souls of Men, 1892-2021, individually inscribed, will be available for purchase in paperback (£25) and hardback (£40).
