Jews and GWB: The President has a new Jewish Liasion - Tevi Troy.

Troy, who was sworn in Monday, will retain his domestic policy portfolio but will also assume responsibility for dialoguing with the Jewish community on domestic and foreign affairs issues. He replaces Adam Goldman, who had served as liaison since Bush came to office but who announced in the spring that he was leaving the White House for the private sector.

Troy, who is Orthodox, previously served the Bush administration as deputy assistant secretary for policy at the Department of Labor. Troy was also a policy director for Attorney General John Ashcroft when Ashcroft was a Republican senator from Missouri.
