Jewish chapel on Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii In this Torah dedication ceremony participants write one of the last letters in a new Sefer Torah at the Aloha Jewish Chapel at Naval Station Pearl Harbor Aloha Jewish Chapel was built in 1975 on the grounds of what is now Joint Base Pearl Harbor–Hickam in Honolulu, Hawaii . It was designed by Vladimir Ossipoff as the first building 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 Aloha Jewish Chapel was dedicated on December 14, 1975 by Rear Admiral Bertram Wallace Korn , who was, at the time, the highest ranking rabbi in the United States military. The chapel has a vaulted roof with an adjacent mikveh (ritual bath). The building also contains a kitchen for kosher food, a library, and a small social hall. On the exterior of the building is the "Shalom" sculpture created in 1975 by Selma Mannheim of Los Angeles, California. With its copious natural light, the building is considered a prime example of Hawaii Modern architecture. 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.
