(Jewish Group) Harris and Emhoff place mezuzah on doorpost of vice president's residence
I got an email from the White House today This really made me smile.
Friends
I typically send out a weekly e-mail on Fridays but wanted to share this piece of news as soon as it landed.
Last month, Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff affixed a mezuzah on the front door of the Vice Presidents Residence at the Naval Observatory, during a private ceremony.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband Douglas Emhoff, who is Jewish, recently affixed a mezuzah to the doorpost of the vice presidents residence and have chosen another for the residences interior.
A mezuzah, a tiny scroll with auspicious biblical verses ensconced in a decorative case, in Judaism marks the home as a sacred space. It was attached to the front door frame of the vice presidents official home, on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory about three miles from the White House, during a private ceremony on Oct. 7, Emhoff confirmed on Thursday.

Harris and Emhoff decided to put a mezuzah on their official residence in the spring when they moved into it, after it had undergone renovations, a White House official said.
The second gentlemans parents, Barbara and Michael Emhoff, attended the ceremony to attach the mezuzah during their first visit to Washington, D.C., this year. It was officiated by Rabbi Peter S. Berg, senior rabbi of The Temple, a Reform synagogue and the oldest Jewish congregation in Atlanta, which loaned them the mezuzah. Berg first discussed it with Harris during her visit to Atlanta in June on a nationwide tour to urge people to get vaccinated.

The King Ranch is a very large operation
Jay Kleberg, King Ranch scion and conservationist, to run for land commissioner as a Democrat
The Democrats seem to be putting a great ticket

A member of a South Texas family that owns one of the largest ranches in the country is seeking the Democratic nomination for Texas land commissioner, the statewide office overseeing the Alamos operations and the states natural disaster recovery efforts.
The seat will be open during the 2022 election as Republican incumbent George P. Bush runs for attorney general.
Jay Kleberg, an Austin-based conservationist whose family owns the sprawling King Ranch in Kingsville, said in an interview with The Texas Tribune on Wednesday that his campaign will focus on fighting climate change, managing the states disaster recovery and improving benefits for veterans.
