Hasidic Rabbis From New York Head To White House For Historic Meeting With Trump
The rabbis thanked Trump for fighting antisemitism and raised housing, prison reform and tax credit concerns, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump met with leading Hasidic Rabbis at the White House ahead of Rosh Hashanah, a gathering his office called the first of its kind in nearly 50 years.
- Special assistant to the President Martin Marks organized the historic gathering, reflecting strong political support from New York Hasidic communities that have given Trump nearly 100% of their vote in some enclaves.
- Discussions included housing, prison reform, and "expanding earned income tax credits" for those with more than three children; Trump also discussed "about pardoning Jewish prisoners," including Sholom Rubashkin, the kosher meatpacking executive.
- The delegation "said blessings to the president" and thanked the administration for combatting antisemitism, while the visit included a joke that "Hasidim are the only ones who have larger families than him," referencing Vice President JD Vance.
- With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, the meeting serves to mobilize Hasidic support; the administration proceeded despite resistance regarding the inclusion of the anti-Zionist Satmar sect.
