English: Detail of the upper portion of the plaque on the face of the Jewish Chaplains Memorial on Chaplains' Hill in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington Country, Virginia, in the United States.

Formal dedication of the memorial occurred in a private service for the families and relatives of the Jewish chaplains memorialized on the plaque on October 24, 2011, followed by a public commemoration ceremony in the cemetery's Memorial Amphitheater.

Congress approved the memorial in 2011, just before Memorial Day. This was important, as memorial supporters wanted the memorial in place in time for the 150th anniversay of the commission of the first Jewish chaplain in 1862.

The memorial is made of granite from Barre, Vermont, and measures 3'6" wide by 10" deep by by 7' high. The top of the memorial is rounded, like that of the other chaplains' memorials. The top is cut down approximately 8" on either side. The bronze plaque on the face of the memorial measures approximately 30" by 50". The memorial was designed by Deborah Jackson of Brooklyn, New York. She took her inspiration from the aron kodesh, the ark containing the Torah scrolls, in her childhood synagogue. The plaque was designed to look older (than modern) and has an antique finish.

At the top of the plaque is a representation of the tablets of the Ten Commandments and the Star of David -- which form the insignia of the Jewish Chaplain Corps. On either side of this insignia are rampant lions of Judah, a common motif in synagoges. The list of chaplains was vetted by the heads of the chaplain corps in all three armed services. The bottom of the plaque features a quotation from Samuel II 1:22 ("they were swifter than eagles..."). Below it is a quotation from the memorial service found in the Jewish Prayerbook.

The monument's design was approved by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts in June 2011. Fabrication took approximately six weeks.
