Direct from Iraq: “Counseling in Combat”
R
abbi Jon Cutler, a Commander in the US Naval Reserves, discussed his experience as the only Jewish Chaplain in western Iraq—and his role as the Command Chaplain for all faiths at Al Asad Air Base and the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing—before a standing-room only crowd on Thursday, April 2, at Holy Family University–Newtown. Rabbi Cutler spent 13 months in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, supervising 40 chaplains and their assistants. In addition to his work with the Marines, Rabbi Cutler has counseled those coping with some of the most life-changing events in our nation’s recent history. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, he was called to the Pentagon to counsel family members of those who were killed and work with the mortuary team. In addition he was the only Jewish chaplain serving with the Marines during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The presentation, sponsored by the graduate Counseling Psychology program, focused on the challenges and highlights of counseling and spirituality issues in combat. More than 90 people attended the free event.
