Ruby Akhtar is a Pakistani-born activist. She comes from a Pakistani Jewish family -- Yes, I was surprised too, but there were Jews in Pakistan since before it was Pakistan. The last synagogue in Karachi closed in 1984. Ruby was married to a Christian man, and lived as a Christian. I have spoken to her sisters, who are Jewish -- not frum, one of them does go to an Orthodox shul though. So you will see online references to Ruby in her "xtian period" -- and she is still strongly connected to Pakistani Christians in England and in Pakistan. But she lives now as a Jew. Again, not frum, I would like to mekarev her and her family. I have already redirected her activism into the line of shleimus haaretz, and I make no secret of it, everyone pushes their own agenda, so do I, but it is for her own good, and she agrees with it.
