The large majority of Orthodox US Jews appear to have voted for Trump, with polls before the election suggesting three-quarters intended to vote for the incumbent. The Orthodox Union, representative of the more modern Orthodox sector of US Jewry, issued its congratulations to Biden on Sunday.“The leadership of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America extends our congratulations to Joe Biden upon his election as 46th president of the United States and Kamala Harris upon her historic election as vice president,” the organization said.It said it was looking forward to “working with President-elect Biden and his incoming administration on matters of critical importance to our community,” COVID-19 and its impact on synagogues, as well as “keeping the US-Israel relationship strong” and “thwarting Iran’s malign activities,” along with educational choice, religious liberty and the fight against antisemitism.Thank you Rabbis! https://t.co/Lwo07ggfuc
