Chaplain Louis (Eliezer) Werfel (1916–1943) was a Jewish chaplain who was one of only six Jewish Chaplains and the only Orthodox Rabbi killed in action during World War II. Werfel's fellow soldiers gave him the nickname "The Flying Rabbi" because he traveled to remote locations throughout North Africa by plane.
