Ivanka Trump Is Kinda-Sorta Engaged to Jared Kushner

20070419nyo

Did I ever tell you guys about the time I wore Ivanka Trump’s tank top? So my parents shipped me off every summer to this “camp” outside of Boston — there was nothing “camp” about it, though. We slept in fancy dorms and ate fancy foods and occasionally were compelled to attend “activities,” but basically we just had a ton of free time to wander around and get high and engage in various sexual activities with one another. Needless to say, the camp attracted a lot of kids from NYC’s Upper East Side, and one of them was a close friend of Ivanka Trump. I grabbed a white tank top out of her closet one day because I liked it, and she saw me wearing it in the hall and she was like, “Um, you’re wearing Ivanka Trump’s tank top.” And I was like “What?” And she was like, “Yeah, I stole that from Ivanka and took it here and now you’re wearing it.” Somewhere, I have a picture of a very skinny, strung-out, black-eyelinered me wearing Ivanka Trump’s tank top. Ah, childhood.

Ever since then, I’ve felt a kinship with Ivanka. We shared a tank top, after all. So I’m delighted to hear that she’s maybe kinda-sorta marrying Jared Kushner, fellow heir and NYC wunderkind. Why the maybe-kinda-sorta? Because Ivanka’s not a member of the tribe, and Jared’s mother will not have her son marrying a non-Jew. (He even broke up with her for a little while because she was so upset about it.) But Ivanka’s working on the Jew thing.

“I am studying,” she said of her conversion to Judaism. She’s studying with Rabbi Haskel Lookstein at Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun. “It’s been an amazing and fulfilling experience for me … One of the jokes I first started making when Jared and I first started dating is, I’m a New Yorker, I’m in real estate. I’m as close to Jewish, with an ‘i-s-h’ naturally as anyone can start off.”

Ha. Maybe she ought to talk to Charlotte York. It worked out so well for her.

  • Okay, I’ve been dating a Jewish guy for over 3 years and his parents love me, even though I’ve heard many horror stories from some of my non-Jewish friends who have dated Jewish men. My fave was my journalism teacher who said:

    “Adum, when I met my husband, his mother wanted him to marry a nice, rich, Jewish girl. And it finally dwindled to a “nice white girl.” And she still despises me. You are none of the above. Give up now!”

    Lol, sigh. I hope his mom really does like me…this post doesn’t help my confidence Beet ;-). I am in no way planning on converting…:-/. And he doesn’t want me to.

    • I’d like to see it too, but after the bitchslapping everyone gave her on that other post, I wouldn’t blame Beet if she never posts another picture of herself up here.

      I say, if you want a pic, you give a pic.

  • Your little sotry explains a lot about why you are such a bint who is completely out of touch with all things based in reality and fancy yourslef to be something you will NEVER be.

    And your story is false considering she is wearing a HUGE engagement ring and has been for some months you farking slowtard.

    • What’s a “sotry?”

      I am also unfamiliar with “bint”, and I feel that “slowtard”, while its meaning is evident, may in fact be a redundant and unnecessary neologism, not unlike the ever-reviled “guesstimate”.

      Please enlighten.

  • Ugh. I could not deal with a Jewish mother-in-law. My friend’s Jewish mothers are enough of a pain in the ass; she’s got her work cut out for her.

    • yeah but she grew up in a house with the most obnoxious man in the world, so she’s already prepared. she’ll have this guys balls on a platter in no time. nobody dominates a trump.

  • There’s an amazing write up about him in the current New York magazine. I think it’s current. Anyway, read it if you find him interesting.

  • I have a lot of Jewish friends; I grew up in a Jewish neighbourhood and lived across the street from a synagogue. Some of them really do not believe that you can convert to judaism. It supposed to be through your mother. That’s why they are the “chosen ones” it is an exclusive club.
