Yeshiva Graduate Nominated As US Attorney General
President George Bush nominated Michael B. Mukasey on Monday to replace Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
“Judge Mukasey is clear-eyed about the threat our nation faces,” Bush said. “He knows what it takes to fight this war effectively and he knows how to do it in a manner consistent with our laws and our Constitution,” Bush said, standing next Mukasey at the White House.
Yeshivaworld has learned that Mr. Mukasey graduated the RAMAZ Yeshiva - and a spokesperson for RAMAZ Yeshiva has in fact confirmed that Michael Mukasey graduated Ramaz in 1959. In addition, his wife Susan was a teacher and Headmistress of the Ramaz Lower School for many years. He is also a prominent member of the Upper Manhattan Jewish community.
