While in Morocco to drum up support for the United States' Israeli-Palestinian plan, senior White House advisor Jared Kushner, who is also President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, visited the Jewish cemetery in Casablanca.
In a video shared online, Kushner alongside a delegation that included Presidential advisor Jason Greenblatt and Minister delegate in charge of African Cooperation Mohcine Jazouli. They stopped to visit the grave of 18th-century kabbalist Rabbi Chaim Pinto. His grandson Rabbi David Chananya Pinto received Kushner in the cemetery.
«For many years I had a dream in my heart, and today I have succeeded in fulfilling it», Kushner said while visiting Casablanca’s Jewish cemetery, the Yeshiva World reported.
By the end of his visit, Kushner said that he «hoped and aspired to reach the Tziyun of his holy grandfather of [his] rebbe and teacher, HaRav David Chananya Pinto».
Donald Trump’s advisor arrived in the Kingdom on Tuesday as part of a work tour to the Middle East. On the same day, Kushner was received by King Mohammed VI in Salé.
This visit comes ahead of an international conference expected to take place in June in Bahrain to unveil the economic portion of the US peace plan, known also as the Deal of the Century. The latter was refused by many Arab nations, including Palestine which disapproved of Manama’s conference.
After Morocco, Kushner left for Jordan, where he held talks with King Abdullah II, and to Israel.
For the record, Jared Kushner was raised in a modern Jewish orthodox family. His father is a Jewish real-estate developer and his grandparents were Holocaust survivors who came to the US in 1949.
