Ivanka Prays at Rebbe’s Grave
November 7, 2016
ON the weekend before the election, Ivanka Trump prayed at an important site to Orthodox Jews. From The Jewish Telegraph Agency:
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner visited the grave of the last Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menaḥem Mendel Schneersohn.
The couple visited the Queens, New York, gravesite, known as the “Ohel,” on Saturday night in the run-up to Tuesday’s election. The couple may have been praying for victory for Ivanka’s father, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Thousands of visitors come to the gravesite every year looking for the blessings the rebbe used to give to visitors when he was alive. Schneerson died in 1994.
Schneersohn is well-known for his open declarations of Jewish racial supremacism:
Since the creation of the Chabad religion 200 years ago, all 7 Chabad Rebbes have written commentaries on the Tanya to explain the Tanya to their followers. The following words are from the last Chabad-Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who died in 1994 but is still considered by Chabad followers as their leader and as the Moshiach. These words are considered part of the official Chabad ideology and doctrine:
“The difference between a Jewish and a non-Jewish person stems from the common expression: ‘Let us differentiate’. Thus, we do not have a case of profound change in which a person is merely on a superior level. Rather, we have a case of ‘let us differentiate’ between totally different species.
This is what needs to be said about the body: The body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of [members] of all nations of the world… The difference of the inner quality [of the body] is so great that the bodies would be considered as completely different species. This is the reason why there is an halachic difference in attitude about the bodies of non-Jews [as opposed to the bodies of Jews] ‘their bodies are in vain’. An even greater difference exists in regard to the soul. Two contrary types of soul exist, a non-Jewish soul comes from three satanic spheres, while the Jewish soul stems from holiness.
