A knowledgeable source tells JTA that Hannah Rosenthal is the Obama administration’s choice for special envoy to monitor and combat anti-Semitism.
The source said an White House announcement is "imminent" on the post, which has been vacant since Gregg Rickman left the position at the beginning of the Obama administration.
Rosenthal was the head of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs for five years and is currently vice president of community relations at the not-for-profit WPS Health Insurance Company.
