23. In 2009, Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism to marry Jewish New York Observer owner Jared Kushner. “One of the jokes I first started making when Jared and I first started dating is, I’m a New Yorker, I’m in real estate. I’m as close to Jewish, with an ‘i-s-h’ naturally as anyone can start off”, said Donald Trump’s daughter. The New York Modern Orthodox scene has faced twin controversies concerning Haskel Lookstein, the rabbi who oversaw Ivanka Trump’s conversion. She is also a close adviser to a man that has attracted the admiration of neo-Nazis and anti-Semites.
