Rabbi Milton Yehoshua Balkany is a highly active community leader, best known for his endearing practice of bestowing blessings (brachot) upon senior politicians publicly. Born in 1946, Rabbi Balkany has Orthodox ordination and is an active educator and Jewish community leader. Since the early 1980s Rabbi Balkany has been unswerving in his support for Republican candidates for office, fund-raising and publically speaking on their behalf. In addition, Rabbi Balkany has not been shy about lobbying for issues and causes of concern to the Jewish community.
The United States House of Representatives invited Rabbi Balkany to open the session in June 2003.
