All along Ive read that he was a convert to Islam. I do hope Im wrong.
Thanks for the reply.
And in return, I thank you for the kind reply.
The only reason I had even a modest clue about Rep. Emanuel's
religional/ethnic identification was I read something about
him back when he was elected to The House of Representatives.
Although I thought the surname "Emanuel" probably meant he wasn't
Muslim/Islamic, I did check on him when he got elected.
Sounds like he's a pretty Jewish guy, with a wife who converted to
the faith. And is fairly observant.
But, it looks like he's followed the political worldview of
a number of the Israelis...fairly Socialistic.
Sounds like he's a stinker to deal with if you don't bend over
for his hardball approach to politics.
But I do respect him for doing a turn as a civilian volunteer
for Israeli defense.
I'm not Jewish, but did consider doing that once myself.
Except for the fact it would give many relatives heart attacks.
(They aren't anti-Jewish...they're just cautious folks that figure
time in Israel would be VERY dangerous. And sometimes they're right!)

I have a deep and abiding love for the Jewish people and Israel. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem every time I can think of it. I will continue to pray for our president He will or not in this case, I don’t know. A socialistic Jew doesn’t thrill me too much, though.
