Friday Night Kabbalat Shabbos With Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump - The "Jews" First Dance at 3:25.....
Despite Sabbath, Ivanka Trump and Husband Celebrate Inauguration (NY TIMES NO LESS)
For Ivanka Trump
and her husband, Jared Kushner, celebrating the presidential
inauguration by attending the gatherings on Friday night posed an
obstacle to their Orthodox Jewish observance of the Sabbath.
Ms.
Trump, President Trump’s older daughter, and Mr. Kushner got special
permission to break from strict religious laws that prohibit them from
using technology or mechanized devices, such as cars, during the
Sabbath, which begins on Friday evening.
A
Jewish person who was briefed on the matter but not authorized to speak
publicly about it said on Friday night that they were given an
exemption under the principle in Jewish law of pikuach nefesh, which
suggests preserving the safety of a specific person over any religious
consideration.
In the case of Mr. Kushner and Ms. Trump, that would have meant being outside security escorts once the Sabbath had started.
Ms. Trump, who converted to Judaism, said in a Vogue magazine interview that she and her husband were “pretty observant,” keeping kosher and the Sabbath.
