US President Barack Obama offered his congratulations Thursday night to While House aide Jonathan Greenblatt, who was chosen to succeed Abraham Foxman as the Anti-Defamation League's next national-director. Obama lauded Greenblatt as a 'valued member' of his administration's team and extended his support for the ADL, praising it for more than a century as 'a strong moral voice against anti-Semitism and hatred in all forms.' 'I am confident that Jonathan will build on Abe's extraordinary legacy, ensuring that the Anti-Defamation League remains at the forefront of efforts to achieve greater justice, freedom, and equality for people in the United States and across the globe,' Obama said in a statement.
