Roy Moore's wife reveals Jewish lawyer's identity and he's a practicing Christian 

The Jewish lawyer Roy Moore’s wife referred to in a pre-Alabama election December rally has been identified and is, in fact, a practicing Christian.

Martin Wishnatsky, who grew up in Asbury Park, N.J., was hired to work in Moore’s law firm and then took a job at the couple’s foundation, Kayla Moore told Al.com on Thursday.

The 73-year-old told the site his “background is 100 percent Jewish,” but said he started to embrace Christianity in his early 30s.

“I'm a Messianic Jew,” he said. “That's the term they use for a Jewish person who has accepted Christ.”

He once converted to Mormonism and then became an evangelical Protestant Christian. He currently attends a church in Prattville.

Wishnatsky continues to support Moore despite the sexual misconduct allegation he said he thinks aren’t credible.

“They're implausible to me because of my experience with Judge Moore,” he said.

The Washington Examiner and The Forward previously reported that Kayla Moore was referring to lawyer Richard Jaffe — a longtime friend and supporter of newly elected Alabama Democratic Sen. Doug Jones.

Jaffe represented her son who faced drug charges several years ago.

Kayla Moore made the “one of our attorneys is a Jew” comment during a Dec. 11 rally for her husband, who lost to Jones in Alabama’s special election after multiple women accused Moore of sexually assaulting them as teens.

Jaffe told Al.com he was offended by the comment and wasn’t sure who she was referring to in her speech.
