Aloha Jewish Chapel
was built in 1975 on the grounds of Joint Base Pearl
Harbor-Hickam in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was designed by Vladimir
Ossipoff as the first free-standing Jewish chapel built by the
United States government exclusively for Jewish worship. (The
Commodore Levy Chapel, Naval Station Norfolk, is the Navy's
oldest Jewish Chapel, but it is part of a larger Chapel
complex.) The congregation raised money for and purchased a
new Torah scroll, which was dedicated on October 26, 2008.
This was the first dedication of a new Torah scroll in the
State of Hawaii. Visitor
information: The Chapel (Building 1514) is
located just inside the Makalapa Gate. Shabbat services are held at 7:30 pm on
Fridays and at 9:15 am on Saturdays. Unless prior arrangements are made,
those attending services must have, or be accompanied onto the base by
someone having, a military identification card.
All Active Duty Military, Reservists, Government Employees/
Contractors, Military Retirees, Dependents and Government travelers to
Hawaii. Must have valid U.S. Government I.D. to get on base.
