Yes, long closeted Ed Koch has finally admittedĀ . . . that he’s a Jew. In his twelve years in office, I never heard of him going into a synagogue. But he was always seen in the company of Cardinal O’Connor and was a frequent attendee at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
Apparently he specified before his death that his secret Jewish identity should be revealedĀ on his tombstone. Good for him!
It seemed that Ed Koch always felt more comfortable in a church and David Dinkins always seemed more comfortable in a synagogue!
