While she is of Jewish ancestry, she is not religiously observant.

and then

While welcoming the dialogue with Sheinbaum, members of the Jewish community do not consider her to be part of their ranks, in part because Sheinbaum herself has rejected any such connection. “Claudia has actively tried to say: ‘This is not me,” Schlosser said. “It must be respected when a person does not want to be identified in one way or another.”

... and more of that.

Seems like this article is more preoccupied with her religion, which she clearly states is not a big part of who she is, rather than her policies, which I'd be more interested in hearing about.

TL;DR: Your usual sensationalized headline.

That article is under the religion category and the authors bio states:

Hernández is a reporter on the AP’s global religion team. She is based in Mexico City and covers Latin America.

So yeah, everything she posts is about religion.

Seems pretty disrespectful to the candidate to focus on it when she’s not identifying with it.

Was about to say how disrespectful this article is to her, but wow that reporter especially should have known better.

FWIW, from a Jew- If you say you're not Jewish, you're not Jewish.

I don't care if your name is Shlomo Moishe Cohen. If you tell me you're not Jewish, I accept that.

And yet there wasn't anything about how she was dressed.
