Jackson Rabbi invited to State of the Union
A Jackson Rabbi will be on hand for President Trump’s State of the Union speech tonight, the guest of Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney.
Rabbi Zalman Mendelsohn of the Chabad Lubavitch of Wyoming established the Chabad Center in Jackson in 2007.
“I’m thrilled that Rabbi Zalman will be joining me for the President’s speech this evening,” Congresswoman Cheney said. “I am blessed to call Rabbi Zalman and his wife Raizy my friends and humbled by their service to people all across our state. At a time when Jewish Americans are facing increased threats of anti-Semitism and the importance of our relationship with Israel could not be more vital, I’m proud that he will be in the chamber with me to hear this historic address by President Trump.”
Rabbi Mendelsohn received his Bachelor’s Degree in Talmudic Study in 2002 from the Rabbinical College of America and taught there from 2004 to 2006. He has been recognized for his work in helping Jews in Wyoming to connect with each other.
