Donald Trump's oldest daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, a top campaign adviser, were off the campaign trail in New York City to pray at the grave site of a revered Jewish leader Saturday night — as the GOP nominee was wisked to safety in Nevada after a protester ran toward the platform.
The couple , who are observant Jews, were videotaped at the site of the grave of the Lubavitcher leader Rebbe Menachem Schneerson, who died in 1994.
Ivanka, who converted to Judaism, is seen wearing a black hat and follows her husband into a room where people sit down at tables and write out their prayers and wishes that will be left at the side of Schneerson's grave in Queens, N.Y.
Meanwhile, at the Nevada rally, Trump was protected by his Secret Service guards when a man rushed the stage. The protester was apprehended; he had no weapon.
The Schneerson grave site is known as "The Ohel" — the Hebrew word for "tent" — the structure built over the grave of the venerated rabbi, Haaretz noted. According to the news outlet, tens of thousands of visitors come to the grave every year to receive a posthumous blessing and inspiration from the late Jewish leader.
