Synopsis

Faith Under Fire traces a Jewish chaplain’s wartime service in France and the daring effort to lift morale while confronting anti-Semitism.

This memoir offers a first‑hand look at how faith, duty, and community support sustained soldiers and civilians through the trials of war and its aftermath.

Across front lines and rest areas, the book shows the bonds formed among Jewish and non‑Jewish servicemen, the work of the Jewish Welfare Board, and the role of chaplains in honoring sacrifice. It also documents responses to prejudice and the lasting impact of wartime service on Jewish identity in America.

• Behind the scenes of wartime morale work, including large-scale services, concerts, and educational programs for soldiers in France.
• Stories of cooperation across faiths and nationalities, and the conviction that courage and humanity transcend religion.
• Accounts of Passover celebrations, Seder dinners, and the care given to Jewish troops abroad and at home.
• A focused examination of anti‑Semitism, its historical roots, and the push to defend patriotism and loyalty.

Ideal for readers of military history and Jewish history alike, this book illuminates how faith, service, and community shaped a generation’s response to war and discrimination.
