Chaplain Abraham Chill, 1st Lt., back in 1936 was sent to the acad emy to minister the Jewish faith to those cadets who belonged to his religion and in doing so chalked up a milestone in military history. Chaplain Chill, the proud posses sor of an LLB degree from Ye- shiva College, N. Y., was ordained in Palestine in 1934 and after a period of two years’ study he came back to this country and entered pulpits in Newburgh, N. Y., New Brunswick, N. J., and Nashville, Tenn. It was during his sojourn in Nashville that the chaplain con ducted a weekly religious pro gram via radio. National Broad casting Company thought so well of the program that it secured the broadcast for its chain. Chaplain Chili, while in college, participated in nearly all forms of athletics and is particularly pro ficient at baseball, basketball and expects to make good use of the Camp Adair handball courts. The chaplain chalked up another "first" upon his arrival here on the Post as he is also the first Jewish chaplain to be assigned here since the camp’s activation. Chaplain Chill was born in New York, thirty-one years ago and is the father of two children. Hr has been assigned to Post Chapel No. 1 and will meet with members of his faith at any time.
