Yes. Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s Orthodox son-in-law, is an observant Jew.
Back in 2009, Ivanka Trump converted to Judaism for her then fiance, Jared Kushner - businessman and New York Observer owner.
Kushner and Trump split briefly in early 2008 after dating for over a year, reportedly over Kushner family concerns that Trump was not Jewish. They reconciled shortly thereafter and she has since been studying for conversion.
Kushner’s name may carry as much renown in Jewish circles as it does in the world of real estate, where he has helped grow his family’s extensive fortune.

An Orthodox Jewish elementary school and high school in New Jersey carry the Kushner family name, the Joseph Kushner Hebrew Academy and the Rae Kushner Yeshiva High School. Both schools in Livingston are named for Kushner’s Holocaust survivor grandparents.
