After Trump win, Clinton’s Jewish outreach director moving to Israel

Sarah Bard, the Jewish outreach director for the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, is moving to Israel.

Bard, 36, was scheduled to move by next week, she told JTA last month.

Her aliyah, to be with her Israeli fiance, had been planned before the presidential election campaign.

She reportedly does not have a job waiting for her in Israel.

Bard — the daughter of Dov Bard, a Boston area rabbi — visited Israel in May to participate in a Clinton fundraiser in Tel Aviv.

Bard, 35, was hired by the Clinton campaign in January. She had served on Clinton’s unsuccessful 2008 campaign and then switched to President Barack Obama’s campaign when he won the nomination. She led the Jewish Leadership Council during Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, a fundraising body for the campaign.

She had also worked for the Democratic National Committee, as an aide to its then chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla. In that capacity, Bard worked on Jewish outreach.
