He is running as an \u201canti-woke\u201d and anti-abortion candidate who intends to rule by executive fiat, with plans to abolish the Education Department and the FBI, eradicate teachers unions, and launch military action across the Mexican border to stop the inflow of fentanyl. He has called for the phasing out of aid to Israel by 2028 as Israel improves its relationship with its Arab neighbors and no longer needs U. S. support. When criticized for this stance, he responded, \u201cOur relationship with Israel will never be stronger than by the end of my first term. But it\u2019s not a client relationship, it is a friendship. And you know what friends do? Friends help each other stand on their own two feet.\u201d He has criticized Jewish Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky noting, \u201cI would just say that there are open questions about his treatment of religious minorities, including but not limited to Jews in Ukraine.\u201d What is a Jewish connection in Ramaswamy&#8217;s life?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_76708\" style=\"width: 233px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vivek_ramaswamy-334.webp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76708\" class=\"wp-image-76708 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vivek_ramaswamy-334-223x300.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vivek_ramaswamy-334-223x300.webp 223w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vivek_ramaswamy-334.webp 334w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 223px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 223\/300;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76708\" class=\"wp-image-76708 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vivek_ramaswamy-334-223x300.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vivek_ramaswamy-334-223x300.webp 223w, https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/vivek_ramaswamy-334.webp 334w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 223px) 100vw, 223px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-76708\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vivek Ramaswamy&nbsp;by Gage Skidmore is licensed under&nbsp;CC BY-SA 3.0&nbsp;via Wikimedia Commons<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"v2 ps5 s17 c28\">\n<p class=\"p3 f6\">A.<span class=\"f7\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"f7\">Even though he is not Jewish, he accepted the offer by rabbis to wear tefillin when he visited the Western Wall in Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3 f8\">B.<span class=\"f7\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"f7\">Even though he is not Jewish, he sent his children to nursery school at Congregation Beth Tikvah in Columbus, Ohio where he lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3 f9\">C.<span class=\"f7\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"f7\">Even though he is not Jewish, while at Yale Law School he was a member of Shabtai, a Jewish alternative to the Yale University \u201csecret societies.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3 f10\">D.<span class=\"f11\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"f7\">Even though he is not Jewish, he made a visit to the grave of the Lubavitcher Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson before appearing at a political event in Borough Park in Brooklyn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3 f12\">E.<span class=\"f7\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"f7\">Even though he is not Jewish, he threw himself an adult bar mitzvah at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, featuring entertainment by Drake.
