The First Daughter and her family joined Jewish people around the world in spending Yom Kippur in prayer and introspection, news media reported.
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner took a break from their positions as senior advisors in the White House to spend the Day of Atonement at The Shul of the Chabad-Lubavitch Center in Washington, DC.
A short walking distance from their home, the Kushners were seen walking with their children to the traditional services led by Rabbi Levi Shemtov, The Shul’s spiritual leader and Chabad’s senior Shliach in the nation’s capital.
“The two are raising their children to be Orthodox Jews,” the Daily Mail reported, noting how the first daughter was dressed modestly in accordance to halacha.
Ivanka’s father President Donald Trump released a “Presidential Message on Yom Kippur” before the fast began, reading:
“Melania and I send our warmest greetings to all Jewish people on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish faith.
“Yom Kippur is a day of atonement, prayer, and fasting, and is the last day of the Ten Days of Repentance. Yom Kippur provides an opportunity to draw nearer to God through the practice of teshuva in accordance with the words of Leviticus: “For on this day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before the Lord.”
“Melania and I pray that you are all inscribed in the Book of Life and hope this period of reflection and repentance leads to a deeper relationship with God. We send our best wishes for a meaningful Yom Kippur and a Gmar Chatima Tova.”
Israeli news website ch.co.il reported that the term “Yom Kippur” was one of the most searched entries on the online dictionary Wikipedia on Wednesday.

Well, they certainly know how to dress the part!
Kiddush Hashrm
Modest and classy!!!!! A true example for all of us
Ivanka looks more tznuis than the whole crown heights
Certainly, Moshiach times.
BS”D That’s why they say Donald Trump is more Frum
than half of America bc he has Frum children and grandchildren,whereas unfortunately they have goyim R”L
As I am so pleased to see them…I was just wondering..is Jared wearing a yarmeka?
I am so proud of Ivanka and Jared. To see this couple, as children of the President of the United States, practice Judaism so openly before the eyes of the whole world is the ultimate Kiddush Hashem. May this zchus bring them nachas for the rest of their lives. Only in America.
What a great tzniesdike dress Yael is wearing!
Kudos and Brochas to the Kushners!!!!!
Notice they are all wearing Yom Kippur shoes!!!
