1999

extensive network of Jewish contacts of
any president to that time.
Roosevelt's strong Jewish support
dated to his tenure as New York
police commissioner. Once, when a
noted German anti-Semite visited the
city, Roosevelt was forced to provide
police protection. He did — with a
phalanx of Jewish officers.
"Everybody laughed, it was the
joke of the town — but the Jews
always remembered," Sarna said.
TR's first campaign featured politi-
cal advertisements targeting Jews, pos-
sibly the first in American history;
some, in Yiddish, sought to capitalize
on Roosevelt's Spanish-American War
exploits by suggesting that his election
would be fine revenge for the Spanish
expulsion of the Jews in 1492.
Once elected, Teddy Roosevelt
broke another barrier when he
appointed the first Jew to the Cabinet
in Washington — Oscar Straus,
Isidor's youngest brother. It was a par-
ticularly useful appointment to the
Jewish community; as secretary of
commerce and labor, he was in charge
of America's immigration programs.
Robert Taft had a number of
Jewish confidantes, but he ran afoul
of the community by opposing efforts
to punish Russia for a wave of
pogroms by abrogating a trade treaty.
Woodrow Wilson also broke
ground. He was close to several
prominent Jews, including Rabbi
Stephen Wise, the Reform leader (no
close relation to Rabbi Isaac Meyer
Wise), and Louis Brandeis, a bright
young lawyer who worked for
Wilson's election; afterward, he was
considered for several Cabinet posts.
According to Hertzberg, that prospect
enraged upper class German Jews,
who saw Brandeis as a radical.
Wilson didn't listen. In 1916, he
tagged Brandeis to be the first Jew on
the Supreme Court.

FDR: Change Forever

Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and
Herbert Hoover all had some Jewish
connections, but no close advisers who
were Jewish. And then came Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, who changed the
face of Jewish politics forever.
"For the first time, a number of
Jews were given major appointments,'
said George Berlin, a professor of
Jewish history at Baltimore Hebrew
University. "He was the first American
president with a lot of input from
Jews; more Jews had access to him
than any previous president."
FDR's appointees included Henry
