Rahm Emanuel Lights U.S. National Menorah
White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel lit the National Menorah in front of the White House Sunday evening in celebration of Chanukah. The ceremony marked the 30th anniversary of the first National Menorah lighting in 1979 attended by then-U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
Emanuel, the son of Zionist freedom fighter Binyamin Emanuel of the pre-state Irgun militia, who defines himself as an observant Jew, has been seen as instrumental in pressuring the State of Israel into concessions during both the current Barack Obama administration as well as the Bill Clinton administration, where he directed the details of the Rose Garden ceremony for the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993.
