There has been a fascinating conversation going on, all in response to President Biden’s pick of Aaron Keyak to oversee Jewish outreach on behalf of the White House.
Mr. Keyak has an impressive resume. He was the former head of the National Jewish Democratic Council, as well as serving on the Biden campaign’s finance committee. In addition, he had stints as communications director for Democratic representatives Jerrold Nadler of New York and Steve Rothman of New Jersey.
