JERUSALEM — Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump wrote a note to be placed in the Western Wall.
The note, which was handwritten, was given to a Jewish advisor of Trump to be delivered to the holy site.
Photographed by Trump’s staff and sent to the Israeli Hebrew-language daily newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, reads: “May you bless the United States, our armed forces and our allies. May your guiding hand protect and strengthen our great nation.”
Trump wrote the note following a conversation with his daughter, Ivanka Trump, who is Jewish, according to Ynet.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
