I just finished reading this article and want you to know you have my sincere admiration. Yours is a special and unique Schlichus truly. Hatzlacha Rabba! Actual soldiers in the army of Hashem. You’re a real inspiration!

Chaplain COL Goldstein is a retired Army Reservist who served for 38 years. Chaplain Stern is active duty.

I’m not positive, but I don’t think Goldstein is in the army. He might be in the national guard…Stern is in the army.

Chaplain Stern got in after he sued the army and settled to have his beard and enter. If you have any interest in entering, contact the Aleph Institute of Bal Harbor, Florida. Chaplain Stern fought for the beard to enter and continues to be the example of what we as Jews need to stand up to be and what right is.

There is a shortage of Jewish chaplains in the armed forces – it’s a great opportunity to reach out to Jewish troops and have a very happy family.

Is a beard still an issue in the army?

Yankel Goldstein is a Colonel and chaplain in the armed forces for years and wears a full beard so why would it be a challenge for Rabbi Stern?
