"But guess who elevated his voice decades ago? JTA reports the following: (The) first time Kaplouns name appeared in the Congressional Record, it was because a senator named Joe Biden raised concerns about antisemitism on his behalf. Kaploun has held a unique role in Jewish communal lifequiet diplomacy, political connections, even some controversy. Hes had ties with the Adelson family, the late Elie Wiesel, and now the political right. Yes, there was a lawsuit involving infidelity allegations that it appears was settled out of court. I dont know the details, and I wont speculate. But heres what we do know: If confirmed, Kaploun would become the most senior Hasidic Jewish official in U.S. government history. The position he's been tapped for survived a major restructuring of the State Department."
