Rabbi That Oversaw Ivanka Trumpā€™s Conversion To Judaism Slams Trump

The rabbi that oversaw Ivanka Trumpā€™s conversion to Judaism has released a letter to the congregation of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trumpā€™s longtime synagogue condemning President Trumpā€™s widely criticized statements about the violent protests in Charlottesville.

In a letter sent to members of Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun this evening, Rabbi Emeritus Haskel Lookstein (who oversaw Ivankaā€™s conversion), along with his successors Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz and Rabbi Elie Weinstock, said, ā€œWe are appalled by this resurgence of bigotry and antisemitism, and the renewed vigor of the neo-Nazis, KKK, and alt-right.ā€

The letter went on: ā€œWhile we avoid politics, we are deeply troubled by the moral equivalency and equivocation President Trump has offered in his response to this act of violence.ā€
