My prefix is a verb, asking for something badly,
beg means to ask for something badly
My infix is from Rome, we still use it today,
egi is Latin for 'I did'. Or maybe this refers to the word ego, a word we still use today, although its plural would be 'nos' rather than 'egi'. OP notes that this really clues e.g. an abbreviation for Latin 'exempli gratia' that we still use.
My suffix is a drink of courage, or so some say,
gin is an alcoholic beverage that can grant people courage
My whole is, all together, a Jew showing you how to start.
Begin is a Jewish politician showing you how to begin
