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.
