Biden held his second annual Rosh Hashanah gathering at the Naval Observatory that was attended by a diverse group of Jewish communal leaders. Among those in attendance were NJDC President and CEO David A. Harris and his wife, Megan Draheim; NJDC’s Immediate Past Chair Michael M. Adler; NJDC Vice-Chair for Development and Democratic National Committee At-Large member Stephen Bittel; and NJDC Executive Committee member and DNC At-Large member Sunita Leeds along with her husband, Dan.

What a great photo of Biden, Harris, and his wife. Thanks to NJDC for much-needed work at this time that is so critical for Democrats just before the off-year election. Might some future NJDC blog list the Democratic Jewish candidates for Congress in Nov.? Or put that on your website?
