CNN
Doug Emhoff, husband to Vice President Kamala Harris, will celebrate the Jewish faith Sunday on the first night of Hanukkah, as he is expected to light the first candle of the National Menorah Sunday afternoon.
The first Jewish spouse of a president or a vice president, Emhoff has publicly highlighted various tenets of his faith while his wife is in office.
Earlier this month, Emhoff announced that he and Harris affixed a mezuzah to the vice presidential residence in a private ceremony in October. That moment marked the first time an executive home has carried the abiding sign of sanctity of a Jewish home.
President Joe Biden has given permission to Ukraine to strike inside Russian territory with American munitions, though he has restricted their use so Kyiv can only hit targets over the border close to Kharkiv after Russia made significant advances around the city in the northeastern part of the country close to the Russian border, two US officials told CNN.
