This is not the new order that I had envisioned. In any case if you missed it - 5th District of Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel is the son of a Israeli living in Chicago who was a member of a nationalistic Zionist movement in Israel before the State of Israel formation. According to Wikipedia, Rep. Rahm Emanuel father, the Jerusalem-born Benjamin M. Emanuel, is a pediatrician and was a member of the Irgun, a militant Zionist group active during the British Mandate of Palestine. en.wikipedia.org Emanuel's wife Amy Rule, a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, was non-practicing before converting to Orthodox Judaism around the same time as her wedding.[24] They are members of Anshe Shalom, a modern Orthodox congregation in Chicago.[9] They have three children, son Zacharias and daughters Ilana and Leah. The children attend Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School, in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, Emanuel's own alma mater, where his wife, Amy, frequently volunteers. Rabbi Asher Lopatin of Anshe Sholom B'nai Israel Congregation, is quoted as saying: "It's a very involved Jewish family"; "Amy was one of the teachers for a class for children during the High Holidays two years ago."[9] Emanuel has said of his Judaism: "I am proud of my heritage and treasure the values it has taught me."[9]
