Jewish Chapel
The completion of the Jewish Chapel in 1984 culminated a twenty year undertaking.
The organization responsible for the project was the West Point Jewish Chapel Fund
a private, non-profit civilian organization. This group raised more than 7.5 million
dollars to erect and furnish the facility. In 1986 the Jewish Chapel was deeded to
the Academy. Served by a military chaplain, the congregation serves the needs of
various branches of Judaism represented in the Armed Forces. In close connection
with the Jewish Welfare Board worship resources are designed to meet the broad
spectrum of our faith. The Chapel contains an extensive Judiaca collection, a
fine library, and special exhibits. It is open daily 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m.and 12:00
Noon - 4:00 p.m. on weekends. Sabbath services are held every Friday evening during
the academic year at 7:15 p.m.
