I think the rabbi's character failed on a few worldbuilding questions (which was why I pointed out that his clothes make no sense, and as you say, the kosher thing), but I liked the episode in terms of Ivanova's character.
It's unfortunate, because there were some interesting places it might have gone. Just what happens to Judaism in the future? Frum like to think they're traditional, but their tradition is, historically speaking, not that old. Do new "traditional" sects pop up? How do you deal with kosher when it comes to alien food? I actually liked how they dealt with the Narn religion in one of the other episodes and the question of how you worship the sun when you're in deep space.
The guy who played Weyoun is all over skiffy. I like him.
