I have been working with two students
who, God Willing, will become Navy chaplains when they are ordained
from JTS. They have been asking me questions about how I handle
different aspects of chaplaincy, other religions, being Jewish on a
ship… and so these two amazing people put together a care package
that specifically included stuff for my Muslim sailor.
They sent him Halal jerky.
Because they cared.
Because they understood that being an
observant minority is hard everywhere, and especially on a ship.
'They are the embodiment of what every
chaplain should strive to be – one who cares for everyone, period.
