According to the reports, they introduced themselves as friends of President Trump and they delivered warm regards from president Trump to the rav, as he had heard great things about the rav's influence on world jewry.
It seems Rav Chaim was slightly amused but not really interested and he asked them if they have anything further to ask or discuss. It turns out they did.It turns out the burning question on Trump's mind is to find out from Rav Chaim Kanievsky when Mashiach is due to arrive. They asked him that in the name of President Trump.
Bemused, Rav Kanievsky responded turning it back on them asking what they have done recently to hasten mashiachs arrival - have they moved to live in Israel? When they answered that they have not, Rav Chaim instructed them that they should move to Israel and then we will soon see the final redemption.

ReplyDeleteon social media some people were wondering if these two anonymous friends of Trump are really David Friedman and Jason Greenblatt who recently ( a few weeks ago) went to pay a visit to Rav Chaim Kanievsky. That visit was covered by the media, at least the Haredi media. The articles about this all said "today", which might mean no, but maybe they are just adding an inaccurate detail. Also, it isnt so farfetched. But I really have no idea.
