The Commodore Uriah P. Levy Center and Jewish Chapel is the Jewish chapel at the United States Naval Academy, in Annapolis, Maryland. The center is named in honor of Commodore Uriah P. Levy (1792-1862), the first Jewish commodore in the United States Navy, who is famous for refusing to flog his sailors.〔(Facts: The Commodore Uriah P. Levy Center and Jewish Chapel ).
