I've Been Thinking:

Expect to see and hear rabbis at the Democratic National Convention.

Rabbi David Sapperstein, a reform rabbi from DC and head of the Reform Action Center which champions social action causes, will deliver the invocation.

Rabbi Mark Schneier, an orthodox rabbi from the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Westhampton who champions many causes including Muslim Jewish dialogues, will deliver a speech.

Rabbi Amy Schwartzman, a reform rabbi from Falls Church Virginian who has worked passionately against poverty and for the homeless and has tried to make her causes into significant Jewish issues, will deliver a speech.

Barack Obama has peppered his podium with dynamic and powerful Jewish leaders who have used their communal leadership positions to build bridges with the greater community.

It is an interesting move on Obama's part.
