#e.p.a

It was a moment of religious reflection, perhaps a rare one, in a Washington federal building. Lee Zeldin, the first Jewish administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, on Thursday affixed a mezuza — a parchment scroll inscribed with Jewish prayers, encased in a small rectangular case — to the door frame of his wood-paneled executive office at the agency’s headquarters on Pennsylvania…
