Why are people so concerned about the level of his piety? Is this really the business of anybody? Maybe he only fasts half a daya on Tannis Esther perhaps he doesn’t wash before eating pizza!
He seems to be a mentch who is also a member of the tribe. There is an anecdote in reference to Senator Joe while Senate was in session late Friday afternoon. His colleagues were wating to leave for Shabbat so that they my vote without him for whatever reason there was. To everyones suprise he excused himself and walked into a side room where about 12 Chabadniks davened mincha and kalbalat shabbaat. And than the vote proceeded. I am not sure whether Kiddush was recited or he used wine or challah..what’s the difference!
