Shortly after the election, Barack Obama announced the selection of Rahm Emanuel (bottom, left), the Jewish Illinois congressman since 2003 and former IDF (Israel Defense Forces) volunteer, as his White House chief of staff. In addition, Obama appointed Lawrence Summers (top, left) to be head of the National Economic Council, Paul Volcker has been named to the finance team and
Peter Orszag, the director of the Office of Management and Budget. David Axelrod (opposite page), a New York-born, Chicago-bred Jew and former journalist, served as a chief adviser in Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign and as his chief presidential campaign strategist. He has advised other black politicians including the late Chicago mayor Harold Washington and Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick. Axelrod has been named as a senior adviser in the White House. Barack Obama is well aware of the historic nature of the black-Jewish bond. “There is a commitment embedded in the Jewish faith and tradition to freedom and fairness, to social justice and equal opportunity, to tikkun olam, the obligation to repair this world,” he told the attendees of AIPAC’s 2008 conference. “I will never forget that I would not be standing here today if it weren’t for the commitment that was made not only in the African-American community, but also in the Jewish-American community. In the great social movements in our country’s history, Jews and African-Americans have stood shoulder-to-shoulder.”
