Serbian ambassador leaving Washington

To MAKS -

Please update your comment as no where did it state that Rahm Emanuel was a Serb, rather that he was, "....a founding member and the Co-Chair of the Congressional Serbian Caucus."

Also, B92 - you may want to review the comment from S.J.A was completely taken from wikipedia.

All the best to Amb. Vujacic!!

Yes, we all know he is not a Serb, but do you know what he was a co-Chair of The Serbian Caucus? He was also the co founder as well.

I would say that makes him a good friend of the Serbs.

He said that he expected positive developments in relations between Serbia and the new U.S. administration, thanks in part to the fact that Serbian caucus founder Rahm Emanuel was the new chief of Barack Obama’s White House staff.
I too have big hope because Rahm Israel Emanuel (born November 29, 1959) is an American politician currently serving as White House Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama.
Emanuel was born in Chicago, Illinois to Jewish parents. His father, Benjamin M. Emanuel, a Jerusalem-born pediatrician, was a member of the Zionist organization Irgun. His mother, Martha Smulevitz, was the daughter of a Chicago union organizer. She worked in the civil rights movement and owned, briefly, a local rock-and-roll club.She is now a psychiatric social worker. The two met in Chicago in the 1950s.Emanuel's older brother Ezekiel J. Emanuel is an oncologist and bioethicist, and his brother Ari Emanuel a Hollywood talent agent.He has an adopted sister, Shoshanna, 14 years his junior.

Emanuel's first name, Rahm (רם) – high or lofty in Hebrew – is the namesake of one Rahamim (surname unknown), which means mercy in Hebrew, killed in the 1940s fighting for the outlawed Zionist group Lehi. The surname Emanuel (עמנואל), adopted by the family in honor of his father's brother Emanuel Auerbach, killed in Jerusalem during a skirmish with Arabs, means God is with us. Sources conflict as to whether the family changed its name from Auerbach in 1933 or 1938.

When the family lived in Chicago, Emanuel attended Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School, a Conservative Jewish day school. After his family moved to Wilmette, he attended public schools: Romona School, Wilmette Junior High School, and New Trier West High School.He and his brothers attended summer camp in Israel, including just after the 1967 Six Day War.
