Most of the staff of the Anti-Defamation League’s Seattle office resigned. The departures of Regional Director Robert Jacobs, the office manager, two interns and a corps of volunteers left just one employee, according to JTNews, the Washington state Jewish newspaper. Bob Wolfson, the ADL’s associate national director of regional operations, refused to discuss the reasons for Jacobs’ departure. “Rob has left the employ of the ADL to pursue other opportunities,†Wolfson said. “We are absolutely not going to talk about the reasons for that. Rob is moving on and we are going to seek a replacement for Rob, and we continue to be committed to ADL’s presence in the Pacific Northwest.â€
