Why Bernie Sanders’ Judaism Is So Important

With his New Hampshire primary victory now in the books, Bernie Sanders has done more than simply guarantee that Hillary Clinton won’t have a free ride to the Democratic nomination. Indeed, even if Clinton ultimately bests Sanders in the upcoming primaries, the Vermont senator has still achieved something of lasting significance: He is the first Jewish American to win a presidential primary. This isn’t to say that he is the first American of Jewish descent to win a presidential primary.
