Wasserman-Schultz Encourages Jewish Students to Donate Bar Mitzvah Funds to Obama Campaign
With rumors swirling that her days as DNC chief are numbered, Wasserman-Schultz is pounding the Democratic pavement trying to make herself relevant.

WASHINGTON — After the Obama Campaign unveiled the “Obama Event Registry” which enables young and eager Democrats to direct donations to the Obama 2012 Campaign in lieu of birthday, anniversary or wedding presents, TWF learned that the DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz was planning on bringing campaign gifting to all new levels in the Jewish community.
Wasserman-Schultz revealed to our Fort Lauderdale affiliate late last Friday that the Obama campaign had such high hopes for the Event Registry that a promotional website entitled “Operation NO EXODUS Event Registry” was created, employing the tagline “Enable your 13-year -old bar mitzvahs to perform the ultimate community service.”
The DNC’s website details how, in lieu of checks, iPad accessories, or any of the myriad unnecessary gift items typically given to Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrants, the Obama Campaign and the DNC’s Operation NO EXODUS are accepting campaign donations in dollar amounts of $18, $36, $72, etc. Jews believe 18 and its multiples have numerological significance, because the numeric values for the Hebrew letters that spell “Chai” – the hebrew word for “life” – total 18.
Wasserman-Schultz told TWF, “Why plant some sapling in the John F. Kennedy Forest outside of Jerusalem in Israel when you can do something so much more meaningful for President Obama? My Jewish outreach coordinator, Dani Gilbert, will spread the word everywhere in Florida and elsewhere, so that Bar Mitzvah celebrants of September and October can make a significant contribution right up through November to the President’s campaign.”
