WE asked you how the campaigns are going in your area. Here’s what you told us . I AM in Kate Forbes’s constituency, or at least in the Drumnadrochit part of this huge area, but I also travel to Moidart to visit my shellfish farm.

Rabbi Sandra Lawson does not look Jewish. A former military police officer turned personal trainer, Lawson wasn’t religious about anything (except maybe physical fitness), she also wasn’t looking to convert to Judaism, and she certainly never aspired to be one of the first black, openly lesbian rabbis. But she has done all of these things and is very Jewish now.
