[QUOTE="Vic, post: 1316775, member: 18322"] Got this in an email. Can't vouch for accuracy, but I hope it's true. [b] FYI Interesting! President “Baruch” Obama Interesting to note that this morning of November 5, the first official thing Obama decided to do as President Elect was to offer the White House Chief of Staff position to Rahm Emanuel. Representative Emanuel isn't just a Jew by name - here are some interesting facts: Emanuel's father, the Jerusalem-born Benjamin M. Emanuel, is a pediatrician and was a member of the Irgun, a Zionist military organization that later became part of the Israeli Defense Forces, in the 1940s. His mother, Martha Smulevitz, worked as an X-ray technician; she was the daughter of a local union organizer, and would herself become a civil rights activist; Emanuel's older brother, Ezekiel, is a noted oncologist and bioethicist, and his brother, Ari, is a high-powered talent agent in Los Angeles and inspired Jeremy Piven's character Ari Gold on the HBO series Entourage. Rahm himself is also the inspiration for the character Josh Lyman on The West Wing. He also has a younger sister named Shoshanna, fourteen years his junior. During the 1991 Gulf War, Emanuel was a civilian volunteer in Israel:, rust-proofing brakes on an army base in northern Israel. Emanuel's wife Amy Rule, a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, was non-practicing before converting to Orthodox Judaism around the same time as her wedding. They are "active members of a modern Orthodox congregation, Anshe Shalom, in Chicago". Amy is "heavily involved with the Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago." They have three children, son Zacharias and daughters Ilana and Leah. The children attend "the Conservative Jewish day school, which Emanuel himself attended as a child". Rabbi Asher Lopatin of Anshe Sholom B'nai Israel Congregation, is quoted as saying: "It's a very involved Jewish family"; "Amy was one of the teachers for a class for children during the High Holidays two years ago." Emanuel has said of his Judaism: "I am proud of my heritage and treasure the values it has taught me."[/b] [/QUOTE]
