Ivanka Trump is sparing with private details in her new memoir and self-help book, “Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules of Success.”

But the first daughter does spill some details about her religious observance and mad matchmaking skills.

Trump, who converted to Judaism when she married husband Jared Kushner, extols the benefits of the Sabbath, when observant Jews shun electronics.

“During this time, we disconnect completely — no emails, no TV, no phone calls, no Internet. We enjoy uninterrupted time together and it’s wonderful,” she wrote in the book.

She added: “It’s enormously important to unplug and devote that time to each other. We enjoy long meals together, we read, we take walks in the city, we nap, and just hang out.”

She also talks up the success that she and Kushner have had introducing their friends to romantic partners. “Jared and I have introduced seven couples who’ve gotten married. Seven!” she wrote, bragging about a number high enough to make yenta jealous.

So far, she says, none of the couples has divorced.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
