THE JEWISH CHAPELThe West Point Jewish Chapel is the heart of Jewish life at the United States Military Academy. This beautiful building serves as a home to the Jewish community and a living tribute to the longstanding tradition of service of American Jews. At West Point, that legacy dates back to the very first class of 1802, when one of the two graduating members was Jewish.

DIVERSITY IN THE LONG GRAY LINEWest Point uniquely reflects key changes that have occurred over the history of our country. Today, the U.S. Military Academy is an example of how diversity makes our country and our military stronger than ever. In 2019, we recognized the commencement of the Academy's 1000th Jewish graduate. Watch "Diversity in the Long Gray Line."
