WASHINGTON (JTA) – With four months to Election Day, Joe Biden’s presidential campaign now boasts a staffer dedicated to mobilizing Jewish voters.

Aaron Keyak, who has already been working on Biden’s campaign, is filling the role, first advertised late last month. Jewish Insider was the first to report Keyak’s appointment on Friday.
Keyak is a longtime Democratic political strategist whose work has included leading a Jewish outreach effort for Barack Obama’s successful 2012 reelection bid; cofounding Bluelight Strategies, a consulting group; and briefly heading the National Jewish Democratic Council, the lobbying group that essentially folded because of lawsuits from political adversaries.
In his new role, Keyak “will build and manage a national outreach program to support the political objectives of the campaign,” according to the job posting, which is no longer online.
Last year, Keyak made the case in a Jewish Telegraphic Agency op-ed that President Donald Trump should bring on a White House Jewish liaison — a position, he wrote, that existed for more than four decades before Trump entered office.
“Even when the Jewish liaison wasn’t able to change the position of their boss, a nuanced and full understanding of the Jewish community is essential to advising the most powerful person on earth,” Keyak wrote.
Frum? If not we don’t reckon with him
Even if he were frum we cannot currently reckon with democrats that are bent on destroying everything dear to yiddishkeit. Liberalism became so extreme that living frum is in danger. Is voting republican better? Probably not, but from a hishtadlus perspective we have to do what looks right to us, after that we need to daven.
any Yid who votes for Biden is insane – he does not represent the Yiden at all, neither does he represent an American citizen or any American interests. !!!!!
VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR FOUR MORE YEARS OF AMERICAN PROSPERITY FOR LEGAL CITIZENS!!!
Modern Orthodox.
Grew up in San Francisco, where being Orthodox is considered…..
Intimately familiar with the liberal Jewish voting patterns and might prove very effective at getting them to switch to the liberal Biden campaign.
For shame!
This fellow and his amen corner at J Street are the modern day incarnation of the Verband nationaldeutscher Juden ,A pro Hitler Jewish group That was instrumental in getting Hitler elected.
Another JINO helping to cover-up and lie about the democrats support for anti Israel Jew haters.
Who is this Kapo?
Right away, the commenters here engage in name calling. How does everyone know that he is not frum? You are jumping to conclusions. For all you know, he may be learning Daf Yomi daily. Maybe he learned in a kollel. We can’t assume anything. Let’s open our ears and listen before we reject anyone.
