Glickman gained experience on
the issue and others during his
tenure in Congress, where he was
one of three Jews born in Wichita,
Kan.
According to Glickman, his
Grandfather and the father of Sen.
Arlen Specter, D-Pa., were in the
oil-field supply business together,
and their families were close
friends.
Meanwhile, Glickman and Sen.
Ron Wyden, D-Ore., were born in
the same Wichita hospital.
Glickman, 64, recalls that the
1,000-member Jewish community
in Wichita during his childhood
provided him with "a good Jewish
education" and says his Jewish
heritage "goes long and deep."
His Judaism, he says, gives him
"a value system of treating people
well" and leads him to try to "fol-
low the golden rule."
While Glickman is not much of
a synagogue-goer other than on
the High Holidays, he has struck
up a relationship with Rabbi
Levi Shemtov, Washington direc-
tor of the American Friends of
Lubavitch.
Shemtov, who has connections
on both sides of the aisle, recalls
when Glickman was scheduled
to light the national Chanukah
menorah on the Ellipse on an
afternoon of pouring rain. The
rabbi worried that the then-agri-
culture secretary wouldn't show.
But his motorcade pulled up and
Glickman battled the elements to
do the job.
"Everyone likes Dan Glickman,"
said Shemtov, "and that's very rare
in Washington."
Glickman is not a member of
Lubavitch, but likes Shemtov's
very modern view of problems
people have."
As to his future, Glickman
doesn't know how long he'll be at
the motion picture association,
but says with confidence that it
won't approach the 38-year tenure
of his legendary predecessor, Jack
Valenti.
Glickman is active in the fight
against hunger, serving as a board
member of Mazon: A Jewish
Response to Hunger. "Ultimately at
heart, I'm a nonprofit, public ser-
vice guy:' he said.
"I don't miss raising money:'
Glickman said about being a
congressman, but "I do miss the
impact on lives." ❑
