Naval Academy Jewish Chapel

The Naval Academy Jewish Chapel features a 410-seat synagogue, fellowship hall, learning center, classrooms, and administrative offices within 35,000 square feet.

Construction of the Naval Academy Jewish Chapel began with a groundbreaking ceremony in November 2003 and reached completion with dedication in September 2005.

The chapel incorporates a 45-foot high replica of Jerusalem's Western Wall and uses materials including Jerusalem stone throughout its architectural design.

The synagogue provides regular worship services, educational programs, and ceremonial spaces for Jewish midshipmen, faculty members, and visitors to the Naval Academy.

Named after Commodore Uriah P. Levy, the first Jewish commodore in the United States Navy, the chapel required an investment of 8 million dollars.
