New Chief of staff....
"He is a devout believer. The president better hope catastrophe doesn't strike between sundown Friday and Saturday night. That's because Lew is a devout Jew who observes (http://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/08/us/public-lives-old-time-democrat-tries-to-weave-a-budget-tapestry.html?sec=&spon=&pagewanted=print) the sabbath weekly. During the fierce budget fights of the late 1990s, it was the reportedly one of his few respites from wrangling. But don't take our word for it. Lew has been invited to help light the National Menorah in Washington not once but twice, in 1998 (http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Menora/start/1312/stop/1431) and then again (http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Hanuka/start/2510/stop/2608) in December. "
"U.S. President Barack Obama has nominated Deputy Secretary of State Jacob (Jack) Lew, a religious Jew, as his new director of a budget that suffers from a budget deficit approaching $1.3 trillion. The appointment must be confirmed by the Senate, which may question Lew whether he can function while observing the Sabbath."
