Let me be clear- I am nobody’s rabbi and although I am a proud Republican, this article is based on my take of Halakha, not the executive actions coming from the Biden administration.
The past few days among all the fried food and community candle lighting ceremonies, the media has been flooded with pictures and stories of Second Gentleman, Doug Emhoff, lighting the candles as the Jewish representative of the administration.
He is being praised by Orthodox rabbis as a “Jew.”
Yes, he was born Jewish. Yes, there have been photo opportunities using Emhoff as the “token” Jew in the White House eating our foods, sharing our traditions and attending events.
Any person in his position would do it.
But, praising his “Jewishness” is another story.
He is an example of one of the worst kinds of Jews. With Jews like Doug Emhoff, we don’t need antisemites like the “Squad” or Black Lives Matter to call for the destruction of Israel and attacks on Jews internationally.
His two intermarriages and his lack of bringing up Jewish children make his choices and actions far worse.
While the fashion press fawns over his daughter Ella Emhoff, Ella enjoys the attention of the media for a very public statement she made on Inauguration Day, 2021.
Emhoff made statements that she was not brought up Jewish, does not consider herself Jewish and doesn’t want to discuss her personal feelings about why with the public.
Little is discussed about Cole, her brother.
Funny, I recall the campaigning in 2020 how Kamala Harris fooled potential Jewish voters and donors by using her stepchildren in a campaign strategy addressing her pro-Israel stand by her speaking about her nichname, “Momala.”
Her professional history or public statements didn’t matter, her “Jewish” stepchildren did.
Even respected Jewish media outlets included in headlines the historic Jewish second family. We now know, it was a campaign game plan and nothing more.
But even worse, religious leadership is still pushing this Jewishness and it sends a dangerous message: If you are an important person who intermarries and raises your children to be goyim, it’s okay and acceptable.
Have these rabbis and leaders heard that there is a “shidduch crisis?”
Have these leaders addressed the problems that assimilation from intermarriages like this have caused?
We must be honest, few intermarriages produce few Jewish children that totally identify themselves as Jewish. These children have less of a connection with Israel. And, Israel has its own issues regarding Halakha and intermarriage.
Hypocrites?
These same Jews had issues when observant Ivanka was “First Daughter.” Remember the controversial discussions about her Orthodox conversion? How about the anti-Semitic hate every time she and Jared Kushner were involved in a pro-Jewish and/or Zionist policy?
Her toddler children were the targets of hate for wearing yarmulkes and tzitzit while attending Jewish day schools.
So- How Can Doug Emhoff Help His People?
Second Gentleman, Doug Emhoff, can help the Jews, but not as a Jewish spokesperson.
He should use his influence and power as Second Gentleman in the same manner that Karen Pence did, a supporter of Jewish issues and the state of Israel, including the Embassy in Jerusalem and recognition of Judea and Samaria.
Rabbis should stand with him like they did with Al Gore, Dick Cheney, and Joe Biden himself.
By the way, have you noticed how first daughter, Ashley Biden, who is married to Jewish doctor Howard Krein, is “missing in action.”
Jewish intermarriages are nothing new in the White House. Vice President Al Gore’s daughter and Chelsea Clinton come to mind from recent previous administrations.
However, in 2020 and now in 2021, Rabbis, Orthodox rabbis, who believe that a person’s Jewish lineage is from a Jewish mother, are setting a dangerous precedent.
It’s not political, it’s Jewish survival.

HaBAD Lubavitch honored Emhoff at the lighting of their phony national HaBAD Lubabitch menorah.
Levi Shem-ra, aka "Shemtov", the Lubavitch missionary in DC, honored the oisvurf.
Big Kiddush Lubavitch, nachas for the dead Rebbbuh, false messiah of our times.
Cindy Grosz, you trying to protect Israel from Islamic cultish murderers and terrorists is great. But you should aim your ire on Islamic clerics, cult leaders, not dirt poor regular Arabs on donkeys who struggle to put food on their table.
But most important are you the intermarriage police?
Jewish identity is great, as long it makes the collaboration with other identities even greater. Otherwise as in the last few thousand years, the imams' Allah Achbar, and Blacks will continue to remind us in very deadly ways.

How about you be the police for the following 3 hereg ve'al yavoirs (THE 3 Jewish mortal sins)?
a) Cult-of-personality police (literally avoida zura--cults/idolatry) see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cult_of_personality
"an idealized and heroic image of a leader, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. A cult of personality is similar to apotheosis, except that it is established by modern social engineering techniques" Apotheosis is the key word, it has its own wiki page. It literally and directly means avoida zura (idolatry/cults). You believe for a second that ancient mekelech (wimps) were scared of stone getchkes (idols)? They pissed in their pants from the human getchkes (idols) behind the stone getchkes (idols), especially from the human getchkes' (idols) interpretations of their haluchas (religious laws). Which were obviously rigged to get as much power, gold, and znis (sexual exploitation) to the human getchke (idols) and his askunim (trolls playing “good cop bad cop”). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apotheosis
If you like youtube see: https://youtube.com/watch?v=7xxgRUyzgs0 Living Colour - Cult Of Personality (Official Video) 55M views
b) Or be the child sexual exploitation police.
c) Or be the violence, inciting violence, or murder police?
These 2 are self explanatory, but only possible on a massive scale via the 1st hereg ve'al yavoir (Jewish mortal sin) of Cult personality, as per above.
Even this article misses the boat. Because Dougie is openly living mit a goyta, he has a din meshumod. He is not considered a Yid - period. There is even a mesoirah from Kadmoinim to refer to a meshumod as yemach shmoi.
"Doggie Emhoff"
I know this guy. One time when I was with Dovid Weinberger at a park in the 5 Towns, the Kamel was fundraising at Temple Israel in Lawrence so she brought Doggie for a poop shpatzir. Me & Weinberger were zoyche to pish on the same fire hydrant as Doggie! Then I lost track of Weinberger when a French poodle couple traipsed by and he ran after the veibela.
This couple celebrates every abomination and undermines Israel. Give me a man like Richard Nixon, of blessed memory who talked trash against Jews but helped us out in the Yom Kippur war.
