An Orthodox Jew, Jacob J. Lew, has been chosen by U.S. President Obama to replace William Daley as his next chief of staff.

Daley, who succeeded Israeli Rahm Emanuel, who went on to become the mayor of Chicago, leaves after a year in the post.

Lew is currently director of the Office of Management and Budget, a post he took during the Clinton administration. He also has served as President Obama's deputy secretary of state.

“We commend President Obama for appointing Mr. Jack Lew as White House Chief of Staff," said The Orthodox Union’s Managing Director Rabbi Steven Burg and Executive Director for Public Policy Nathan Diament in a joint statement. "Our community takes great pride in the appointment of the first member of our community to this position of great responsibility. We wish Mr. Lew a hearty ‘Mazal Tov’ on his historic appointment and best wishes in his new role in serving the president and people of the United States.”
