Second gentleman Doug Emhoff on Friday met with young students who recently arrived from Israel and are taking shelter in the U.S., the White House said.

An official said the students spoke with Mr. Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, about “their harrowing experience being in Israel during the Hamas terrorist attacks.”

Mr. Emhoff is in a unique role, however, as the first Jewish spouse of a vice president. Even before the attacks in Israel, he made combating antisemitism a key agenda item in his prominent role. Besides the recent arrivals, Mr. Emhoff met with roughly 80 first and second graders in a music room and then a group of eighth graders and staff.
