Canadian Rabbi Helps Wounded Troops From Iraq

Captain Alan Bright (USAFR), a rabbi from a Montreal congregation, was recently called up to active duty to serve as the Jewish chaplain at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

For those that don’t know, Ramstein is the main spot for medevacs from Iraq that need critical care as well as the first stop for most bodies before their return to the States. While not the most pleasant duty, serving as the sole Jewish chaplain at the hospital is certainly an important role to fill.
