“There was a time when CDC was being attacked unfairly,” said Tom Frieden, who was CDC director at the time. “Many people in that situation would have stood by or even quietly piled on, but Tony did exactly the opposite. He stood up for us internally and he stood up for us, publicly. He is a mensch.”

Mensch (Yiddish: מענטש ‎, mentsh, from Middle High German "mensch", from Old High German "mennisco"; akin to Old English "human being", "man") means "a person of integrity and honor"

And Yiddish is...Yiddish (ייִדיש, יידיש or אידיש, yidish or idish, pronounced [ˈ(j)ɪdɪʃ], lit. 'Jewish'; ייִדיש-טײַטש, Yidish-Taytsh, lit. ' Judeo-German') is a High German-derived language historically spoken by Ashkenazi Jews

Fauci was raised Catholic but considers himself a "humanist" . "Fauci grew up Catholic,[9][10] but now considers himself a humanist, stating that he thinks "that there are a lot of things about organized religion that are unfortunate, and [that he tends] to like to stay away from" it."

"At about the same time, the word "humanism" as a philosophy centred on humankind (as opposed to institutionalized religion) was also being used in Germany by the Left Hegelians, Arnold Ruge, and Karl Marx, who were critical of the close involvement of the church in the German government. "
