Former Sen. George Allen will publicly discuss his mother's Jewish heritage before a Jewish group this week for the first time.
Readying for an expected rematch against Democratic Sen. Jim Webb, Allen is scheduled to discuss his mother's and grandfather's lineage Thursday at the National Jewish Retreat in Reston.
In his failed 2006 reelection bid, Allen bristled during a debate with Webb when asked about reports that his mother, Etty, is Jewish.
