Obama to address Jewish conference
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is making his first major address to the Jewish community since taking office.
Obama will speak Nov. 9 in Washington at the annual conference of the United Jewish Communities and The Jewish Federations of North America.
Conference organizers say the gathering is one of the largest meetings of the Jewish community in the U.S. Top Israeli government officials are also expected to attend.
Despite criticism from some in the Jewish community, Obama has long maintained that he is an ardent supporter of Israel.
