Ivanka and Jared Choose A Synagogue

The Forward yesterday reported that First Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have decided on a home in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, D.C. and will attend synagogue at the nearby Chabad Lubavitch congregation known as TheSHUL of the Nation's Capital. The small congregation draws 40 to 60 worshipers each Sabbath. As observant Jews, Kushner and his family do not drive on the Sabbath and thus need a synagogue within walking distance.

Where Will Ivanka and Her Husband Pray?

Politico reported yesterday on the speculation swirling in Washington over which Orthodox synagogue "first-daughter" Ivanka Trump and  her husband Jared Kushner will make their religious home.  Many are suggesting that Georgetown's Kesher Israel is a front-runner.  Meanwhile The Forward speculates that the couple might opt for a private synagogue, or build a private one of their own, saying: "In-house worship spaces are a hot commodity for the observant wealthy."
