‘Nosey in New York’ Seeks More Cases of Establishment Gentiles Who Converted to Judaism

I can't find the link but Richard Shipe sent me a Haaretz piece saying our congress is about to get a record number of Jews–45. 32 in the House, 13 in the Senate. Very different proportions, that: well under 10 percent in the House, 13 percent in Senate. A reflection of wealth, I would argue. Haaretz also says that New Jersey congressman John Adler converted to Judaism from Episcopalianism 20-odd years ago and is a… hold your breath…. strong supporter of Israel. Ah, the zeal of the convert. But I am going to put Adler (did he change his name too?) in my collection of gentiles converting to Judaism. It's a trend, I insist, and the next time Dershowitz publishes The Vanishing American Jew I wish he'd take it into account.
