Saperstein would be the “first non-Christian” to hold the post

The White House pointed out that Saperstein also serves on a number of boards, including The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the National Religious Partnership for the Environment.

“How will it be possible for [Rabbi David] Saperstein, who has in the past stood against certain aspects of religious expression in the United States, to promote religious freedom abroad?” asked William Murray of the Religious Freedom Coalition in a report by Andrew Harrod on the coalition website.

Feel free  to disagree, but my take is unanimity considering question, that EE 'vote'

3-0 in favor of
                          permitting position of Ambassador to non-Christian

Upon closure, rereading a few ,ore times, what stands out to me today is the line: "Almost everything is just other people saying things about his beliefs."

Wondering if person in position should be advocate for anything beyond "service' to country? What form of litmus test, etc. Food for thought for some other day ...
For now, moving on...
