V’Rahm hu al kol-ha’amim

Interfaithfamily.com claims Rahm Emanuel as one of their own:

Like most American Jews–though the rest of us aren’t triathlon competitors whose rabbis give them permission to work on the economic bailout on Rosh Hashanah–Rahm Emanuel has an interfaith extended family. His wife Amy Rule is a Jew by choice who volunteers with children at their modern Orthodox synagogue.

    This paragraph is the last one in the article about Emmanuel and is hardly a strong statement. It is undeniably true that most American Jews have some non-Jews in their extended family somewhere. The question that goes unanswered is “So what?” What does this mean, if anything, to the Emmanuel family?
