"I disagree with many policies of the Obama administration, but I know that President Barack Obama and [White House Chief of Staff] Rahm Emanuel believe that what they are doing is good for Israel," says Rabbi Asher Lopatin, who for the past 15 years has been the spiritual leader of one of Chicago's most active Jewish communities, the Anshe Shalom Bnai Israel congregation.
"Rahm is a tough guy - and I'm not sure he's the best diplomat," he adds, "but I think that ultimately they think what they are doing is good for Israel."
Emanuel had to leave the community when he began began working in the White House, and later moved his family from Chicago to Washington, but Lopatin still sends them occasional e-mail messages.

Curious!
“Wasn’t Hitler’s mother Jewish?”
Nope. Rumor is his mom may or may not have had an affair with a Jewish man who was very nice to Hitler’s family (and her employer) — much to the digrace of Hitler’s daddy.
But I do agree with your point that the most dangerous people to Jews are apostate Jews.
Tomas de Torquemada (the “formerly” Jewish head of the Spanish Inquisition) comes to mind.
Rahm, Soros, and the like fit the Torquemada mold well.
Let’s hope he doesn’t send the “Safe Schools” czar..
Obama really didn't say jack**** to the Jewish League and others but the liberal jews( must be some of the inbred mutant tribes that got led to Syria, whined about the lovely leaks in Egypt, whined about leving Babylon, then Persia( than G!d for one rottten Amelekite Saul should have killed, and G!d love Queen Esther for her chtzpah) and whining still only eight thousand miles from Eretz Y'srael. Okay, I'd love to sign into the IDF like my daughter did( was in the 2006 Lebanese war and also recalled in Op Cast Lead) but I hadn't known of my Jewish side until my forties and have learned four languages before making my endeavor for 3plus years in hebrew...I'd just get in the way and every time someone said shalom to me I might shoot them accidently thinking they were peace niks: Okay, I don't understand Rahm and that other dirtbag plus Obama just SLAMMING Israel making his first speech to arabs on Al Jazeera, slamming jews by speaking in an Egyptian mosque, SLAMMING Catholics and speaking at Notre Dame when his first signed order was money to unPlanned Parenthood ( $400,000,000.00? to Zimbabwe, I mean Rhodesia)
I don't understand how my fellow Jews can actually believe a health care plan will help emma and all the rest when they need it. I don't understand why Obama is ALLOWING Russia, Syria, Iran , North Korea( oh and France, as if oil for food wasn't BAD enough) while he apologizes and bows, when our own soldiers are getting reamed by Persina 9and etc) made IED's( Phillipines, Thailand and etc get bombed by NK and Russian made alongs with Vietnamese and "other" aby sayyeff like Persian countries) Nope, sorry this is long but I just do not understand my blind jewish relatives, cousins and such unless they WANT to give away all they worked and prayed for through the diaspora, through why we celebrate hannakuh, through five major wars in which Kissiger( a Jew) forced Israel to return all the land, or the lies about the USS Liberty NOT being a spy ship giving intel to the hated brits and sending along the intel to Egypt and Russia).
no I don't understand it at all unless G!d still wants, desires, and loves His people and is hoping they turn their atheist eyes( damned holocaust where so many lost all hope) back to hom and Ezekial's visiono of ch 38, 39 comes to life, Zechariah's visions come true and yes, I've read the book of Revelation as much as the Torah and Tanackh.
I wish someone would argue with me, tell me I'm all wrong, the Bible is a myth, the prophecies of Daniel, jesus, Moses himself, and all the truth I hold dear would just delete the bad stuff, but with Rahm wanting to build in the desert? Screw him, BUILD IN EASTERN JERUSALEM AND BULLDOSE THE HELL OUT OF SAMARIA AND JUDEA...oh and HOW did the gas tipped missiles get to Syria unless there WERE WMD's in Iraq...Uday and Qusay, too bad we didn't kill them ....and remember Saddam's last cursed words to iran, F*** you Iran..." he may have been the butcher of Baghdad and I'm happy he's dead BUT he knew and knows 1,000,000 dead in a stale mate war, and iran's damned little tricks were and always have been much more dangerous than iraq ....and maybe even the Saudi's with their wars in Africa and their slavery while jews and Americans suck oil from a drug addled teat.
oaky, as my old military CO used to say, "Thus endeth the &*%&%&%))diatribe!
