Entrepreneur Ivanka Trump, daughter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, was seen visiting the Rebbe’s holy gravesite in Queens, NY, 3 nights before the general election.
A modestly dressed Trump was seen coming to the Ohel at the Old Montefiore Cemetery alongside her husband Jared Kushner, owner of the New York Observer and a key advisor to the campaign.
The latest LA Times/USC Tracking poll shows Donald Trump with a 5 point lead over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in what has been a contentious and unlikely race to be the 45th President of the United States.
“The visit was meant to be private,” a person connected to the visit which took place hours after Shabbos has ended told COLlive.com. The media was not invited to the visit.
A video shared on social media taken by a bystander shows Kushner and Trump walking through the visitors center of Ohel Chabad Lubavitch on their way to the Rebbe’s Ohel in the cemetery itself.
Accompanying them was Rabbi Zalman Grossbaum, Executive Director of Chabad of Livingston in New Jersey who has close ties with the Kushner family. Also seen is Rabbi Motti Seligson, Director of Media Relations at Chabad.org.
An eclectic group of people can be regularly seen at the Ohel, which the New York Times once mentioned as a must-see site to visit. It is a place where thousands come and continue to receive inspiration and blessing from the Rebbe.
Among the recent publicized visits to the Ohel were of the African American U.S. Senator Cory Booker and Victor Espinoza, jockey of the American Pharoah Thoroughbred racehorse which went on to win the first Triple Crown-winning horse in 37 years.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Regarding education — an issue of interest to many Jewish voters — David Peyman, the Trump campaign’s national director of Jewish affairs, told The Algemeiner on Monday that, as president, Trump would “add an additional federal investment of $20 billion in school choice programs, understanding the fact that currently if you send your kid to a Jewish day school or, for that matter, a Catholic school, you are effectively funding two school systems. One is the public school system through property taxes, and the second is the private school through your tuition.” Trump, Peyman said, “recognizes the fact that there… Read more »
The most important characteristic of the USA compared to countries that existed previously is that while the other countries were essentially the private property of flesh-and-blood kings, handed down in their families, where the kings owned the land and the people and any rights the people would have were determined by the flesh-and-blood king, the USA was founded on the idea that humans get our rights from our Creator, and government does not have any power to take them away or to order us around, rather the government is supposed to work for us. Trump has published a list of… Read more »
It’s the question every Jew should be asking. The answer is obvious. Vote Trump. Hillary is bought and paid for by the Saudis. This has been proven. They donated to her foundation and received State Department gifts in return. What will they get now? Open borders? The Saudi government (we now know for a fact) has funded Al Queda, ISIS – our enemies. Hillary’s foundation is funded by them. How can ANY JEW vote for Hillary with good conscience?
Thank you for taking the time to write what I was thinking.
I will add that Black Lives Matter is a black supremacist group. It endorses Hillary – but she endorses it back. Not so with Trump and KKK.
BLM is a well funded, dangerous group that is against law and order – and Hillary, along with Obama – embraces it. That is much worse than Trump not responding to KKK. He has no say over who they support.
She’s so awesome
#41 Maybe hateful racist people support Trump, but HIllary IS a hateful, racist person, with zero morals at all!!! If you are following her at all (outside of CNN, New York Times, and other main streamed leftist biased media) you would be unable to bring yourself to vote for her! She brings the level of corruption in politics to unprecedented levels! Hope you can enlighten yourself before the elections! Are you following the Wikileaks?

UTTER RUBBISH. THE REBBE NEVER SAID ANYTHING OF THE SORT.
Better a guy that is a joke than a cruel, wicked anti-Semite.
Forbidden to vote for Hillary!!
Whoever is criticizing Ivanka should be ashamed! What does the Torah say abkut treating a Ger? I bet she’s more religious then most of you. She’s modern orthodox, Chabad is not the only type of Jew. Maybe you should join neturei karta. They look at you as a disgraceful Jew. How dare you criticize her?! I’m ashamed for you. Now regarding Trump for president. He will be the best president since Reagan. Sometimes you need to clean house, and get a little messy for things to work again. This country is going the way every other super power in history… Read more »
I think it’s great they went to the Ohel.
I hope they have a lot of brachos and nachos from their family.
But not everyone who goes to the Ohel should be president.
This doesn’t make up for the father abusing women, insulting everyone, lying and being pretty much the biggest baHeima possible.
The main thing is we need to increase and Torah and Mitzvos and Moshiach now!
She can come to the Ohel all she wants, but it doesn’t change the facts. This whole election is a disgrace! Want to know why? Because doughnuts are falling! That’s right! You see, if Hillary wins, we have Hillary to the Gematriya of Bill, which is floating bananas. But if Trump wins, we have the Gematriya of orange hair, which is oy veyz mir! And now she comes to the Ohel? On top of all of this? We know what this means – kangaroos! Klal Yisroel, listen to me! Vote for Ben Carson – the only man with enough sense… Read more »
Clinton criticized legislative attempts in Israel to restrict left-wing organizations and expressed shock over growing discrimination against Israeli women. She mentioned cases of IDF soldiers leaving during performances of female singers.
Clinton will try to, chas v’chalila, make the kosel mixed. She will cut funding for institutions that “discriminate” against “rights” of others and try to force places to not discriminate” – like not performing “marriages” that are forbidden and taking away their non-profit status.
Seriously thinking of Hilaty for president?
She is bad for the country and bad for the Yidden
I do not think these comments were made by Chassidim. But they need to be addressed anyway. #41 mentions the KKK. It is not the job of a candidate to condemn supporters. Anyone is free to support the candidate of their choice. BUT – when the candidate endorses a group – That is relevant! Black Lives Matter is a black supremacist group that endorses Hillary. They are against police. Against law and order. They are anarchists. They are well funded. OK – so they support Hillary… but the problem is… she supports them! Donald Trump does not support KKK. Hillary… Read more »
Who are the children with them?
I don’t know which UK you are from but I live in UK perfectly normally as a proud jew
Who is more likely to get Sholom Mordechai out?
if you know anything… its Trump.
so please don’t get side tracked and miss this opportunity
(of even a small chance) to do PIDYON SHVUIM!
Throughout our bitter Gallus, Yiddin gave everything away
just for a chance of pidyon shvuim.
If only for Sholom Mordechai, Please vote Trump!
can someone please clarify !
I thought our vote doesn’t count ? so why vote for either ? they’re both terrible !
for having the common sense most people on this site do not.
Sorry to say, but the guy is a buffoon and no should ever vote for him, not saying Hillary is better, but this guy is a joke and i for one would never vote for him.
FOR THOSE OF YOU VOTING FOR HILLARY, OR NEVER TRUMP: DO YOU WANT OUR COUNTRY CONTINUE TO GO INTO MAJOR DEBT. DO YOU MIND PAYING MUCH MORE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE. DONYOU WANT A GOVERNEMT WHO HAS BEEN PAID OFF BY THE ARABS, AND HAS NO INTEREST IN DEFENDING THE ONLY JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL! DO YOU WANT A GOVERMENT WHO WILL DEFEND US AGAINST TERORESTS LIKE ISIS OR NOT. DO YOU WANT A PRESIDENT WHO WOULD RATHER PROTECT THE MUSLUM BROTHERHOOD LIKE HOLLERY DID TO EGYPT OR SOMEONE WITH ISRAELS SICURITY IN MIND. ARE YOU HAPPY WITH THE DEAL OBAMA… Read more »
To set up a dictatorship it is necessary to control the media. The mainstream media has been utterly supportive of Stalinary. She has threatened to shut down the voices that oppose her. Right now Roger Stone is facing law suits to prevent his project to verify voter machine manipulation. Stalinary’s supporters are vicious and violent. Only the mainstream media does not report the incidents. One of the reasons Trump is not doing so well in the polls is that people are afraid to say to the pollsters that they support Trump. Like in Russia where you could not say anything… Read more »
Ivanka has embraced the movement of Modern Judaism. It’s not for me and its not for you. But it is what she has been presented with as a valid stream of Judasim. I dare say that in Chabad circles there is also a deviance from how we would like Jews to dress. Ivanka is a dedicated wife, mother, daughter and sister. She keeps a Kosher, Shabbosdik, Jewish home. As far as trusting what her father says about Eretz Yisroel. It is almost laughable that you would doubt a man who says what he thinks and seems unable to say things… Read more »
Trump might be in favor of moving the embassy but like all US candidates, he is in favor of negotiations and would probably try to force Israel into giving away more of its land.
Votes for trump in Ny are not worth anything
Hillary has a great lead over Trump that is impossible to change in 2 days as in California . To vote is a complete waiste of time
If you live in Florida or Pa Oh etc then your vote will be significant
When did the Rebbe say that?
your vote does NOT count
Why vote for either? We know both of them are terrible in their own way. So why are we sticking up for either? We should stand for who we are in our ethics and morals and not show support to the 2 candidates who are anything but. We need to daaven that moshiach comes and saves us from this crazy world!
Thanks for misleading your gullible readership with a cherry-picked daily tracking poll. In fact, Trump is far behind according to the aggregate of polling, and has little chance of winning.
Ivanka switches places to run for president herself… we wish!
#12: not true, educate yourself – it’s actually tight.
#31: only one commented that she is the best Jewish, so just calm down. Everyone knows that Trump isn’t look perfect but, at the same time we know Hillary is much worse.
#6 I agree with you completely, they went privately, it is pretty sad that someone had the chutzpah to take away from a private person’s private moment with the Rebbe.
When a candidate is supported by the most notorious hate group in the US, the KKK, and has openly antisemetic supporters at his rally’s and in Twitter and the only thing he promises to do is dismantle the Iran deal- likely further de-stabling an already anti-Semitic country (look, I don’t like that it passed in the first place, but honestly what do you think is going to happen if it’s suddenly gone? Trump criticizes Obama and Hillary for pulling out of Iraq too soon and destabilizing the region leaving room for ISIS, what could he actually do to Iran aside… Read more »
it was just a scare. someone yelled ‘gun’ but didnt actually have any weapons.
on the other hand maybe ther ewould have been weapons if ivanka wasnt praying for him then…
A Frum Jew must vote for Trump.
Ivanka comes from the richest American families! She is gifted with beauty, inteligencs and more. Im not g-d, so I can never know truely what is in her heart. But she went through a kosher conversion, and is open and proud to be Jewish, as well as keeps a kosher home, and shabbos observant. Did u ever see how she answers reporters about her Jewishness? There is a lot to learn from her. I’m surprised that some question Donald trumps friendship torwards Jews. If he hated us so much he would never allow his daughter to convert. People say that… Read more »
Sad to see how a lubavitcher could talk like that!! As far as I’m concerned the Rebbe has always taught us to respect ALL yidden no matter how they act!!! So calm down… all we are trying to say is that it is quite obvious btw the two candidates that trump actually respects our religion so much so that his daughter found it appropriate to go to the ohel to daven… we didn’t see anything like this ever before. Now while I understand you may not be that comfortable with trump because there are no bases he means all the… Read more »
jews you have a massive responsibility on your hands dont allow clinton in white house she is a danger to israel and therefore jews worldwide at risk from irans terrible plans.Obama and clinton are both bolstering Iran,Israels #1 enemy.PLEASE go vote..tell your friends ,family vote .Its imperative
TOTAL RUBBISH. THERE WAS NO GUN JUST A PLACARD
She arrived at the ohel about 20 minutes after “assassination attempt” (which turned out not to even be one…)
EVERYONE loves the ohel cookies!
#TrumpPence16
Solid person.
Just saying…
so she goes to the ohel and now all the comments are about how shes the best jew in the world. Doesnt matter how she dresses or what she does when she isnt at the ohel. But she came to the ohel thats all you remember. The Rebbe is watching over trump someone comments? We dont even know if half the positive stuff he says about his likes for jews and Israel are even true! We dont know that hes the better choice. We saw how freely his derogatory remarks were unleashed at the jewish american convention. ya remember that?… Read more »
How stupid can you be??? Don’t you care about Eretz Yisroel?
Don’t you care about Yidden??? How can you vote for Hillary who is so fake and nauseating!!!???
I always have immediate improvements and answers to my requests. The Rebbe is the best. We are so blessed to have a connection to him.
Block both Hillary and Donald, for someone that can actually block them from reaching the 270
November 8th. Make it happen.
Actually, no weapon was found at the scene. It was just a scare. My apologies for ruining a good story.
the attempt took place at 9:01:25 can we find out what time she was at the ohel?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s not the one running for president.
The Rebbe said to vote for whoever supports Israel… I think in this election it is very clear.
Vote trump!!!!!
I am thinking about you and I am sure you are voting for a third party candidate, because to me it is sad to think that someone might vote for a woman that clearly broke the law and was not prosecuted because apparently the law is for the common folk. In case you are thinking to vote for her, please check wiki leaks especially their twitter feed for the highlights of the emails exposed, and if you are still not shaken from your loyal support then you should really do some soul searching
beautiful excellent this is really amazing clip thank you so much for sharing with us
I am shocked that anyone can still consider anyone other then Trump who’s the only one good for Israel. Didn’t we see enough of Clinton and Obama hatred of Israel?
I had a friend there.. and he took a picture and the secret service ordered him to delete it. They said they are trying to keep it as quiet as possible… that really went far. Lol
Umm k? So? Just don’t it’s okay but w/e?
Frum Jews for Trump!
You gotta be kidding , You should go to the Ohel as well, & then you WILL change your vote.
It was at that exact moment Donald trump won the Kentucky derby!
Very nice!
Who is the Lubavitcher accompanying them ?
It was NOT a real attempt.
I think that is too late
The should have gone a couple month ago
Next election iyh
its nice to see her at the ohel yet im not changing my vote
He’s a great great man. And Ivanka and Jared are responsible Jews. The Rebbe will answer the call for help because people, help comes in a blink of an eye. Hashem will send the help through a Jewish daughter who has a non jewish father and mother. This is how the Jews were saved with Queen Esther being in the position she was in. Ivanka and Jared went to the Rebbe, I’m do hsppy. They are very humble. Please Gd, please don’t let the foolish amount us get their way. Take a look at England full of Muslims. France, Italy… Read more »
Ivanka is a true Ger Tzedek and B’ezrat Hashem her father will be our president!
Trump’s chance @ victory just got better!
BS”D See,the Trumps are smart and Hillary would never been seen in public associated with anything Jewish
Someone goes to have a private moment with the Rebbe, and some creep with a cellphone violates it. I heard he tried to go into the ohel itself to get that on film as well.
You know the right place to go to pray for your father and our country. We are proud of you and your family and you all will be in the White House very soon B’Ezrat Hashem!
Let me be the first to comment. A Gutte Voch! The Rebbe’s Blessings for a successful campaign that will be Great for America and Great for Eretz Yisroel!
I wonder if she likes ohel cookies.
Go Trump Go! We all hope her prayers are realized on Tuesday…..
At the exact second there was a real assassination attempt on The Doanld in Reno Nevada. And he walked away safe and sound. The Rebbe is watching him closely.
