Rosenthal is anti-Semitism envoy choice, announcement imminent (CORRECTED)
A knowledgeable source tells JTA that Hannah Rosenthal is the Obama administration's choice for special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism.
The source said an White House announcement is "imminent" on the post, which has been vacant since Gregg Rickman left the position at the beginning of the Obama administration.
Rosenthal was the head of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs for five years and is currently vice president of community relations at the not-for-profit WPS Health Insurance Company.

Since Jews are more likely to experience a hate crime than any other group (see FBI Hate Crime reports and allow for different sized populations), I’d say it was a good idea. Not that I think Obama will do it properly, but it’s nice to see him do something right occasionally.
Maybe he is learning something. Everyone is capable of personal growth.
