What Were Bochurim Doing at the Trump MSG Rally?

By COLlive Reporter

“Almost 200,000 people tried to get into this event tonight,” reported Eric Trump about the political rally supporting his father, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Sunday’s event at Madison Square Garden saw tens of thousands of people lining the streets of New York City before reaching capacity.

Notably, among the sea of red hats were a few young men wearing yarmulkas and white shirts. They were Lubavitchers, seemingly Yeshiva bochurim, who decided to use the opportunity to connect with fellow Jews.

With the holiday of Sukkos just concluded, it was time to once again put on Tefillin, and these Lubavitchers had a pair or two to offer to Jewish rally-goers.

In pictures and videos, the Lubavitchers can be seen helping people put on Tefillin, reciting the Shema Yisroel prayer, and even calling out, “We Want Moshiach Now!”

“On Israel’s Side”

One of the speakers during the event was former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a Trump ally. IsraelNationalNews.com reported that he spoke about Trump’s support of Israel, among other things.

“September 11th was our darkest hour; October 7th was Israel’s darkest hour. They are our best friend. I worked for Ronald Regan for eight years, Ronald Regan said: ‘We have to be there for Israel always because they are always there for us!'” Giuliani stated.

The former mayor continued: “Hamas is not there for us, Iran is not there for us, they want to kill us. And the Palestinians are taught to kill us at two years old. They wouldn’t let a Palestinian in Jordan, they wouldn’t let a Palestinian in Egypt, and Harris wants to bring them to you. They may have good people; I’m sorry I don’t take a risk with people who are taught to kill Americans at two.

“I’m on the side of Israel! You’re on the side of Israel! Donald Trump is on the side of Israel! And they’re on the side of the terrorists!” he concluded.
