The rabbi who oversaw Ivanka Trump’s conversion denies he gave the first daughter and her husband permission to fly on Shabbat.
Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, a leading modern Orthodox rabbi, has stated that he did not give the prominent couple special dispensation to board Air Force One during the Sabbath.
The couple flew to Saudi Arabia on Friday and landed once Shabbat had come in. They were also seen being driven around on Saturday.
A White House official said the couple received a rabbinical dispensation to join the president aboard Air Force One on his first overseas trip on Friday, according to Politico.
