The Happy-Go-Lucky Jewish Group That Connects Trump and Putin

I agree. Just because two people may both come from a similar religious denomination or donate to the same organization does not mean that organization is privy to potentially nefarious collaboration among parties. In addition, I agree this article appears to draw a conclusion that Chabad-Lubavitch is the nexus of a Trump-Russia connection, but fails to prove anything other than both Trump's family and many with potential ties to Putin all independently support the organization. It is also worth noting that the late Lubavitcher rabbi, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, promoted the opening of synagogues to support the diaspora of Jews where they live. In many places, a Chabad synagogue may be the only Jewish organization for miles, and especially in places like Russia. Today, they form the backbone of synagogues in Russia due to them daring to support Judaism dating back to underground work during the Soviet era. For this reason, Chabad is the movement many Russian Jews choose to support.
