**Commodore Uriah P. Levy Center and Jewish Chapel** is the [Jewish](/source/Jewish) [chapel](/source/Place_of_worship#Judaism) at the [United States Naval Academy](/source/United_States_Naval_Academy#Halls_and_principal_buildings), in [Annapolis, Maryland](/source/Annapolis%2C_Maryland).

The center is named in honor of [Commodore](/source/Commodore_(United_States)) [Uriah P. Levy](/source/Uriah_P._Levy) (1792–-1862), the first Jewish commodore in the United States Navy, who is famous for refusing to flog his sailors.[3][2] The Levy Center is adjacent to Mitscher Hall and contains a 410-seat [synagogue](/source/Synagogue), a fellowship hall, a Character Learning Center, classrooms, and offices for the Brigade's social director, the academic board, and the academy's Honor Board.[2]

Before the chapel was completed in 2005, Jewish midshipmen attended Congregation Knesset Israel in downtown Annapolis,[4] or held services in the interfaith chapel at Mitscher Hall.

## History

The [groundbreaking ceremony](/source/Groundbreaking_ceremony) was held on November 2, 2003,[2] and the building was dedicated in September 2005.[5]

The Levy Center cost $8 million to design, build and furnish; of which approximately $1.8 million was paid for with military construction funds,[2] and the remaining amount was paid for by donations raised by the Friend of the Jewish Chapel, a campaign headed by Jewish alumni of the academy and others.[2][1]

## Architecture

The 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) building was designed by Maryland architect Joseph Boggs[1] and was built by [The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company](/source/The_Whiting-Turner_Contracting_Company).[2] The entrance pavilion has elements related to the center bay of [Thomas Jefferson](/source/Thomas_Jefferson)'s [Monticello](/source/Monticello). Levy purchased Monticello in 1834 and restored it because of his admiration for Jefferson, who died in 1826.[4] The chapel includes a nearly 45-foot (14 m) high wall that is a replica of the [Western Wall](/source/Western_Wall) in Jerusalem. The wall is made of [Jerusalem stone](/source/Jerusalem_stone).[4] The roof of the building is constructed of copper.[2] The architecture of the exterior is [consistent](/source/United_States_Naval_Academy#Halls_and_principal_buildings) with nearby [Bancroft Hall](/source/Bancroft_Hall).

The chapel was awarded the Maryland [AIA](/source/American_Institute_of_Architects) Honor Awards 2006, Public Building of the Year; Institutional.[6]
