Trump Honors Dead Talmudist Jewish Supremacist and Continues Jewish False Messiah Role

President Donald Trump Expresses Deep Religious Reverence for the Chabad Lubavitcher Rebbe at the Ohel, and Reverence for Jewish Ahavat Yisrael on October 7th anniversary

In visiting the Ohel, the sacred resting place of Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, President Donald Trump demonstrates profound reverence for the Chabad Lubavitcher Rebbe—a figure whose spiritual legacy resonates deeply within the Jewish community (kehilah yehudit).

This pilgrimage to the Ohel—recognised as a sanctum of the Rebbe’s divine presence—signifies not just a personal homage but an acknowledgment of the Rebbe’s enduring influence as Tzadik, a righteous soul, akin to a Saint, whose teachings continue to inspire millions. In Hebrew, Ohel (אוהל) means “tent”; in Jewish tradition, it often refers to a structure that serves as a sacred space, particularly for prayer or reflection. The Ohel is regarded as a space where the presence of the Rebbe is felt, and it serves as a focal point for devout communal gatherings and faithful individual devotions.

The Hasidim, a sect of Judaism that emphasises mysticism and a deep spiritual connection to G-d, are exemplified by the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, which blends traditional Jewish teachings with an outreach philosophy aimed at fostering a global community of Jewish practice and awareness. Chabad-Lubavitch, like other branches of Hasidism, falls under the Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic umbrella and traces its teachings back to Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov, the founder of the Hasidic movement. Chabad-Lubavitch combines the intellectual approach of Chabad, which stands for Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge, with Lubavitch, the town in Belarus, Eastern Europe, where the movement originated, symbolising love and community. Chabad is an acronym derived from three Hebrew words: Chochmah (Wisdom), Binah (Understanding), and Daat (Knowledge). These concepts are deeply rooted in Kabbalistic thought, where they represent the three highest intellectual sephirot (divine emanations) on the Tree of Life. The name “Lubavitch” means “town of love” in Russian, symbolising the warmth and love that are central to the movement’s outreach and community efforts.

During the 1980s, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu developed a deep and personal relationship with Rebbe Schneerson, whom he regarded as “the most influential man of our time”. During this period, Netanyahu also formed a friendship with Fred Trump, the father of future 45th U.S. President Donald Trump.

As President Donald Trump also seeks the blessing of the Rebbe at the Ohel, he aims to receive a “double portion of bracha” (blessing) for his rulership—as Netanyahu once did—echoing the tradition of Jewish leaders who turn to the Rebbe for divine guidance and support in their endeavours. The concept of a “double portion” of blessing, while not formal Jewish custom per se, is an enduring spiritual custom derived from biblical references, such as the blessing received by the firstborn or specific biblical figures like Elisha, who asked for a double portion of the spirit of Elijah. This occurs in the biblical passage found in 2 Kings 2:9-10 when Elijah is taken up into heaven in a whirlwind, and Elisha, as his devoted disciple, requests this blessing before Elijah is taken away. In Deuteronomy 21:15-17, it states that a father with multiple wives must give the true firstborn son a “double portion” of his estate—this means that the firstborn receives twice as much as any other son.

Chabad Lubavitcher followers hold the belief that the Ohel serves as a locus where the Rebbe’s divine presence remains tangibly accessible, enabling them to maintain a potent spiritual connection and draw blessings, even in the wake of his earthly passing. This act of visiting the Ohel is a reflection of President Trump’s desire to engage with and honour the values upheld by the Rebbe—values that include Ahavat Yisrael (love for fellow Jews), Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), and the promotion of Jewish education and outreach. By participating in this ritual, Trump not only shows respect for the Rebbe’s legacy but also signals a commitment to the principles that Chabad espouses in his own leadership, thereby reinforcing the relevance of these teachings in contemporary governance.

Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, in line with Chabad teachings, famously articulated the concept of Nefesh haBehamit, which refers to the “animal soul”. In this context, he indicated that gentiles possess a Nefesh haBehamit as their primary soul essence, which is associated with basic instincts and physical desires. Conversely, Jews are believed to possess a Nefesh haElokit, or “divine, G-dly soul”, which connects them to a higher spiritual purpose and the observance of mitzvot. This distinction underlines the Chabad understanding of the differing spiritual roles and potentials of Jews and gentiles within the broader framework of creation and divine service, distinguishing itself through its unique emphasis on intellectualism, outreach, and global Jewish engagement.

In Chabad-Lubavitch thought, Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson is viewed as a central figure in the process of Geulah (redemption) and Moshiach (Messiah). He is seen as the Nasi (prince) of the generation, a role that carries significant spiritual authority. Chabad teachings emphasise that the Rebbe serves as a Tzadik (righteous one, saint) whose Shlichus (mission) is to inspire the Jewish people to engage in Teshuvah (returning to G-d) and Ahavat Yisrael (love for fellow Jews). His followers believe that through his teachings and guidance, he is actively preparing the world for the imminent revelation of Moshiach, bringing about the fulfilment of the prophecies regarding the Messianic era, which includes peace, knowledge, and the ingathering of the exiles. The Rebbe’s leadership is viewed as essential in realising this spiritual potential and fostering a deeper connection to Torah and mitzvot (commandments).

Many Chabad-Lubavitch followers refer to Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson as a Messiah figure. While he did not explicitly claim this title for himself, many of his followers believe that he embodies the qualities and potential of the Messiah (Moshiach) as outlined in Jewish texts. They view him as a spiritual leader whose teachings and actions align with the Messianic ideals of bringing redemption and enhancing the spiritual life of the Jewish people.

There is a diversity of beliefs within the Chabad-Lubavitch movement regarding the status of Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson after his passing in 1994. Mainstream Chabad followers generally accept that the Rebbe passed away but continue to regard him as a deeply influential and spiritually present figure, often visiting his Ohel to seek blessings, divine communion, and inspiration.

However, some “Meshichist” Chabad followers believe that the Rebbe is the Moshiach (Messiah) and that his passing is not final. Some within this group hold that he is “hidden” or in a state of spiritual “sleep”, and they anticipate his return to fulfil the Messianic role; this belief draws on Kabbalistic and Hasidic concepts of the Messiah’s potential to be revealed after physical death.

The stone placed on a grave in Jewish tradition is called a tz’ror which translates to “pebble” or “bond”. Placing a stone on top of the Rebbe’s Ohel—the burial site of Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, is a traditional act in Jewish custom that signifies several things. This act of placing stones on the Ohel, or any grave, serves to reflect the idea that the physical presence of the stone contributes to the spiritual connection between the individual and the Rebbe, embodying the commitment to continue their legacy and teachings. When Jewish individuals recite the El Maleh Rahamim prayer (the prayer for the departed), they invoke the phrase “tz’ror haHayyim”, for the deceased to be “bound up in the bond of life”. The placement of a stone at the gravesite is the bond that signifies that the mourner has visited to pay their respects and represents the ongoing presence of the deceased in the mourner’s memories, actions, and legacy.

Thus, in Jewish tradition, placing a stone on a grave symbolises permanence of memory and the bond of continuing spiritual legacy. It reflects the idea of building upon the Rebbe’s teachings and a commitment to uphold the values of Ahavat Yisrael (love for fellow Jews) and Tikkun Olam (repairing the world). Each stone contributes to the collective memory and spiritual connection shared among Chabad followers, emphasising the ongoing influence of the Rebbe’s life and teachings in their lives. For Chabad Lubavitchers, this act represents a physical manifestation of the visitor’s respect and personal connection to the Rebbe, serving as a reminder of their commitment to continue his teachings and mission.
