Joe Biden is known for his tolerance towards people coming from diverse backgrounds. His cabinet also reflects the same. Although he is a Catholic who frequents the Church, his tolerance towards people from different faiths and backgrounds, has made him likable by many.

Recently, he became the first American President to receive a congratulatory message from the Pope.

However, that’s not all.

Rabbi Michael Beals also blessed Biden and his wife before the inauguration ceremony. Reciting from the Exodus, the holiest book in the Jewish tradition, he called Biden one of the Mosses and his running partner Kamala Harris as Aaron, Mosses’ brother. According to the Rabbi, Biden was always destined to lead the country.

“It is indeed bashert that you, our dear president-elect, are being inaugurated on the very week that Jews around the world are reading from the book of Exodus, about Moses’s freeing us from 400 years of backbreaking Egyptian slavery at the hands of an autocratic cruel Pharaoh”, Beals said.

“In many ways, dear Joe, you are our Moses”, he added.

Biden is known for his compassionate heart that can relate to the aches of millions of people. It was this compassion that made him meet the Rabbi as well. The incoming President was at the funeral of a woman who had contributed $18 to every campaign of Biden when he met the Rabbi.
