Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci will join an Orthodox Jewish group on an investment trip to Israel.
The Wall Street-based Orthodox Chamber of Commerce will host what it is calling an Executive VIP trip to Israel later this month. Other prominent American business leaders will join the trip, according to the group.
Scaramucci, a financier, spent 10 days at his White House job before being let go in part because of an obscenity-laden interview he gave to The New Yorker magazine.

“My investments are all about belief in markets and Israel is one of the most compelling markets in the world,” Scaramucci says in a statement. “It is a beacon of democracy, an incubator for innovation and is going to be an even larger player in the world economic picture in the future. I couldn’t be more excited to see for myself how this ‘miracle in the desert’ continues to flourish, lead and innovate.”
The group is open to any business that interacts with members of the Orthodox Jewish community, and looks to forge a relationship with the community, according to its website.
