But the businessman took time out of his busy schedule to gather with friends to pray for the safe return of the hostages taken by Hamas.

While Ivanka is fighting hard to avoid testifying in her father’s ongoing trial, she still has time to pray for the safe return of Hamas hostages during the October 7 attack on Israel.
In Ivanka’s post on her Instagram story, she wrote, “In preparation for Shabbat, I gathered with friends in the community to bake challah and pray for the safe return of the hostages captured by Hamas and the strength and protection of the innocent people who suffered so much. .”

The mother of three shared a sweet photo of herself baking challah in preparation for Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest. Challah is a unique bread of Ashkenazi Jewish origin. It is usually made to have a braided pattern and is eaten on special occasions and Jewish holidays.
Ivanka was among a number of celebrities who took to social media to share their grief over the catastrophic event that shocked the world.
At the time, Ivanka wrote via her Instagram story, “Love and prayers for the Israelis,” along with an Israeli flag. She converted to Judaism after marrying her husband, Jared Kushner, an Orthodox Jew, in 2009.
Ivanka Trump Tied Up Over Her Father’s Civil Case

As we previously reported, Ivanka is serious about getting out of having to testify in her father’s $250 million civil case.
The former “The Apprentice” star was previously dismissed from the case in June due to statute of limitations rules. But he was later issued a subpoena by the New York Attorney General’s office.
In an attempt to fight the subpoena, Ivanka’s attorney, Bennet J. Moskowitz, argued that the 41-year-old had been improperly served. However, this did not help his case, as the judge still ordered him to testify.
Ivanka was due to go on trial last Friday, but the date was moved to November 8 after her lawyers argued it could take up to 24 hours to question the business mogul.
Now, in an appeal filed Thursday, her attorney is asking the judge to consider her children, saying it would be unfair for Ivanka to have to fly to New York to testify “in the middle of the school week.”
“Ms. Trump, who lives in Florida with her three young children, would suffer undue hardship if a stay of detention is denied and she is required to testify in a hearing in New York in the middle of the school week, in which case she has been fired, before her appeal. heard,” Ivanka’s lawyer argued.
Despite new attempts to save her by her lawyer, Ivanka is still scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, next week. His brothers, Eric and Donald Jr., recently had their day in court. Both testified on Thursday, with Eric taking the stand again on Friday.
Ivanka Trump Celebrates Her 42nd Birthday
Amid the legal drama, Ivanka threw an intimate birthday party with friends and family to mark her 42nd year. She shared moments from her ceremony, which were apparently taken before the guests arrived, on her Instagram page.
In one of the photos, Ivanka stands with her three children, Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick, and Theodore James, her husband, Kushner, and their pet dog.
She and her daughter wore beautiful dresses, with Ivanka opting for a short light pink ensemble while Arabella wore an olive green dress.
The boys were dressed in white tops and matching pants, just like their fathers.
The photos were accompanied by a sweet caption that read, “Celebrating my birthday this weekend surrounded by friends and family. Here’s to another year of great memories with my favorite people!”

In the meantime, five people captured by Hamas have been released. This gives hope to the families of more than 200 victims who are still being held by militant groups.
On Monday, the Israeli government announced the rescue of Army Pvt. Ori Megidish. Previously, Hamas had already released American citizens Judith Raanan, 59, and her daughter, Natalie, 18.
They also released the Israeli women, Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, and Nurit Cooper, 79. Unfortunately, both their husbands are still being held, per AP news.
Hamas has stated that they will release the remaining 200+ prisoners on one condition that Israel releases the thousands of Palestinian prisoners they have in custody. The Israeli government has since rejected the group’s offer.
