Trump's Daughter Ivanka Converts To Judaism
Trump's daughter has converted to Judaism, showing the deep ties towards Israel.The story also highlights India’s need to revive a stronger sense of unity and nationalism.
US President Donald Trump is once again in the headlines, but this time because of his daughter, Ivanka Trump. During a speech in Israel’s Parliament, the Knesset, Trump revealed that Ivanka had converted from Christianity to Judaism. The announcement came as Israel honoured Trump with its highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Honor.
In his speech, Trump said, “Let me also give a very special thanks to someone who truly loves Israel — my daughter Ivanka. She loves it so much that she converted.” The audience responded with a standing ovation. Ivanka is married to Jared Kushner, an American-Jewish businessman who also served as a Senior Advisor during Trump’s presidency.
This moment highlighted the strong emotional and political connection between the US and Israel. Many believe that Jewish influence in American politics is significant because of the unity and loyalty of the Jewish community. Trump also mentioned Miriam Adelson, an American-Jewish billionaire, as an example of deep devotion toward Israel.
The article draws a comparison between this sense of loyalty and how many Indians who move abroad often lose their connection with their homeland. Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu recently said that while rural India still shows national pride, many of the rich and elite lack it. He warned that the “global citizen” mindset can harm India’s growth.
It’s time for India’s upper class to revive their sense of nationalism and work together for unity and progress.
