Alongside U.S. presidential election - when Americans will decide between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney – elections for congress and a third of senate will also take place tomorrow.
40 Jews have served in Congress after the elections in the middle of the year 2010 - including 27 in Congress and 13 in the Senate. All Jewish representatives are members of the Democratic Party, except Eric Cantor, a member of the Republican Party, serving as the leader of the Republican majority in Congress.
Now, according to surveys, it seems that the number of Jews will be depreciated in Congress.
The one who is supposed to soften the blow is the controversial Rabbi Shmuel Boteach, who is running in New Jersey, who if elected, would become the first Rabbi ever to serve in the American Congress.
