Chaplain Rabbi Kushner

Chaplain Rabbi Kushner

Sep 19

Posted by Daryl Densford

When-Bad-ThingsI had heard of the book “When Bad Things Happen to Good People” from back in the 1980’s but I didn’t know that the author, Harold Kushner, had been an Army Chaplain. He just served for two years so there isn’t much of his military history to find, but what I could discover (plus a little more) is in his chaplain story: Chaplain Harold S. Kushner.
