Religion
Trump was raised Presbyterian.[87] Before her wedding, in July 2009, after studying for over a year[88] with Rabbi Elie Weinstock from the Modern Orthodox Ramaz School, she converted to Orthodox Judaism[89][90][91] and took the Hebrew name "Yael".[92][93] She describes her conversion as an "amazing and beautiful journey" which her father supported "from day one", adding that he had "tremendous respect" for the Jewish religion.[49] She attests to keeping a kosher diet and observing the Jewish Sabbath, saying in 2015: "We're pretty observant... It's been such a great life decision for me... I really find that with Judaism, it creates an amazing blueprint for family connectivity. From Friday to Saturday we don't do anything but hang out with one another. We don't make phone calls."[84] Trump sends her daughter to kindergarten at a Jewish school in New York City. She says that "It's such a blessing for me to have her come home every night and share with me the Hebrew that she's learned and sing songs for me around the holidays."[49] Ivanka and her husband made a pilgrimage to the Ohel (grave of the Lubavitch Rebbe), a popular prayer site, shortly before her father's election victory.[89][94]
