Clark: I’m no rabbi’s son
 GENERAL Wesley Clark is not descended from a long line of rabbis, as he had once claimed.
The Democratic candidate said he had been given bad information before giving a speech at a New York yeshiva in 1999 claiming that he was the “eldest son of the eldest son of the eldest son” of a rabbi.
Clark, who repeated the rabbi claim as recently as January [2003] in an interview with The Forward, says he still is proud that he is descended from Jews on the side of his father, a cohen, or member of the priestly caste.
“I always felt a real kinship to the courage of European Jews who went to Israel,” Clark told The Associated Press. Clark counts among his closest advisers Rabbi Arnold Resnicoff, a Navy chaplain.
