Jared Kushner's Grandmother: Holocaust Survivor

Context: Jared Kushner is Donald Trump’s son-in-law and works, without taking a salary, on the cabinet-level staff in the Trump Administration as a close aide to the POTUS. Kushner’s grandmother was interviewed in 1982 and her videotaped interview is on file at the National Holocaust Memorial Museum. O.C. finds this ironic, given recent Trump Administration edicts regarding immigration and communications regarding the Holocaust. O.C. is reminded that Judaism is an ethnicity and not merely a faith.

If you’ve ever interacted with an Orthodox community, you wouldn’t find it ironic. The ban is the reason many of them supported him. Also, many of them believe that the religion and ethnicity are one in the same.

Hard to decide who is the useful idiot in this case. What a Manchurian candidate we have.

Also interesting about Kushner is his lack of experience, credentials or credibility. He fits right in. The fraud behind the family fortune is also a nice touch.

I’ve had a little bit more interaction with the Jewish community than many, or perhaps most, non-Jews, enough to respect the degree of complexity that is Being Jewish. Still, I think Kushner’s Jewishness is something that deserves to be out in the public awareness.

Perhaps Jared should change his name to Chaim Rumkowski

Was it worth $600, Jared?

I’m surprised more people don’t know about it. The Orthodox Jews I know were well aware he and Ivanka are Jews. What should also be in the public’s awareness is that his father, Charles Kushner, is a felon who was convicted of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion, and witness tampering in 2005.

Another irony is that despite their professed faiths, both Donald and Jared appear to be completely unfamiliar with (or oblivious to) the book of Isaiah, specifically the start of chapter 10:

Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,
to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless.
What will you do on the day of reckoning,
when disaster comes from afar?
To whom will you run for help?
Where will you leave your riches?
Nothing will remain but to cringe among the captives
or fall among the slain.

Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.

I think that is a fair comment, though I really am not. I think Kushner’s lineage -- he married into the Trump family after all -- is noteworthy. And Skychismo points out that there are (Orthodox) Jewish layers of folks who enthusiastically support what the POTUS is doing. This I would not have expected. So if I reached, it was only to offer and to get thoughtful responses. And Zoidberg’s...

Thanks. That it’s politics, I’d have thought, would have been pretty hard to miss, but I’ll be sure to include that in the future.

What version is that? Interesting how it compares to the King James:

1 Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

3 And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

4 ...For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Am I the Scalian originalist here? Will the Kinja servers all crash now that scripture has been posted herein?

I read something about it on CNN last year during the campaign. Back in 2014 he posted his Presbyterian church confirmation picture on Facebook. But yeah it hasn’t been something he talks about too much.

NIV. I’ve always found King James a bit obtuse, especially when it comes to profits. And yes we better be careful, too much scripture will definitely crash Kinja.

They probably have the data, and would release it before Cheetolini. His “audit” line is BS, as far as I know. He may be under an audit, but there’s no concrete policy stopping someone under an audit from divulging data. Unless, of course, it shows ties to Russia (and probably China).

No doubt he pulls some strings, if he yanks on one, who knows what might happen. I was thinking the one bright spot in this regime might be easier tourist travel to Russia. He’ll probably hose that up.
