Jacob Lew is an Orthodox Jew. That rhymes, and it's also the background for a story, courtesy of First Read, about Bill Clinton trying to convince Lew to pick up the phone on the Sabbath, during Lew's first stint as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget:

    Once, while working in [sic] President Clinton's director, Lew's home phone rang one Saturday. He didn't answer and a familiar voice could be heard from the answering machine, urging him to pick up the phone. Mr. Clinton said he understood the sanctity of the Sabbath, but that it was important that he talk to Lew. He even said, it was later reported, that "God would understand."


It may appear at first that Clinton was just doing anything to get Lew on the phone, even making uninformed assumptions about God's personal feelings. And if he was wrong, eh, it's just eternal damnation in the eyes of the Lord. But it turns out Clinton was right after all.

    Lew later consulted with his rabbi, who said that taking an important phone call from the President of the United States would be permissible on the Sabbath under the Talmudic teaching that work on the Sabbath is allowed in order to save a life.


Discussing the budget is "saving a life" now? That's a slippery slope, rabbi.

After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

So they are allowed to 'save a life' on sabbath?
I guess Gentile life isn't included.
