Army’s top rabbi returns home

A few weeks ago LTC Mitchell Ackerson, the Army’s top Jewish Chaplain in Iraq, returned home to his family in Baltimore.

Rabbi Ackerson left some awfully big shoes to fill in Iraq. The Baltimore Jewish Times recently wrote an incredibly in-depth article about his adventures in Iraq and his heartwarming return to the States. This is kind of the Everything You Wanted to Know About Jewish Soldiers in Iraq article. I would even dare to say it’s a must read.

One of Rabbi Ackerson’s most notable (among hundreds of) incredible accomplishments was the Passover Seder in Sadaam’s Palace.

God bless, and Yesher Koach Rabbi Ackerson!
