Just to clarify, if she says her identity is one of her qualifications for office, would it be OK to ask her views on a policy debate about a new proposal for kosher dining hall on campus. Again, this is not an obnoxious question, like "are you revolted by inhumane kosher slaughter." It is a non judgmental neutral question about her policy preferences on a question that has or is likely to come up for her to discuss and vote. She can stake a position or say she has none, or none yet.
If it is OK to ask that question without regard to the expressed identity of the candidate, why not ask it when someone self-identifies as Jewish?

There is also the oh-so quotable Kinky:
"Well, I just said that Jesus and I were both Jewish and that neither of us ever had a job, we never had a home, we never married and we traveled around the countryside irritating people."
And of course there is his C&W hit: ""They Ain't Making Jews Like Jesus Anymore".
but if you are going to discuss Kinky, the politician, your readers are owed some of his choice quotes:
- "How can you look at the Texas legislature and still believe in intelligent design?"
- "We're first on executions. We're 49th in funding public education. We're in a race with Mississippi for the bottom, and we're winning."
- "May the God of your choice bless and keep you. I respect Him as long as He does not circumcise me anymore."
- "Musicians can run this state better than politicians. We won't get a lot done in the mornings, but we'll work late and be honest."

The allegations are not recent, nor even publicity about them. However they received renewed attention in connection with the lawsuit that claims Epstein also used his underage sex slaves to pleasure Prince Andrew and attorney Alan Dershowitz.

That is a misleading representation of the complaint. His abuse of power of conversion candidates was the subject of an investigation by the Rabbinical Council of America. Other converts have since complained about how he treated them. While nobody may have seen clues of his mikveh voyeurism, do you see no connection between abuse of power in other situations and abuse of power in the mikveh.

I am also intrigued by the complete absence of any competing explanation for why these cases are predominantly affecting boys, since transmission from mothers should equally affect both male and female infants. Additionally, as noted, these cases in rockland are attributed to MBP because they are unusually, in the genital area and the outbreak is timed to about a week after circumcision.
All this leads me to wonder if we are dealing with some methodological defect or even fraud in the collection of evidence, most likely, some failure in the chain of evidence integrity.
