Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chabad-Lubavitch and what are its core beliefs?

Chabad-Lubavitch is a prominent Hasidic movement, a branch of Orthodox Judaism that emerged in the mid-eighteenth century in Poland. Founded by Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liady (also known as the Alter Rebbe), Chabad is an acronym for the Hebrew words chochmah (wisdom), binah (comprehension), and da'at (knowledge), reflecting its emphasis on intellectual engagement with Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah) in addition to fervent devotion.

A central tenet of Chabad philosophy, as outlined in the Tanya, is the concept of "Divine Immanence." This worldview teaches that the physical world is imbued with divine sparks scattered during creation, and it is the duty of Jews to elevate these sparks by fulfilling mitzvot (commandments or good deeds) and studying Torah. This belief underscores Chabad's active outreach, aiming to make the world a "dwelling place for God" and hasten the coming of the Messiah. Unlike other Hasidic groups, Chabad is not insular; its members actively engage with the modern world and its tools, like the internet and media, to promote their traditional message. They believe that every Jew, regardless of their level of observance, possesses an intrinsically Jewish soul, and their mission is to rekindle that dormant spiritual connection.

How has Chabad-Lubavitch expanded its influence globally, particularly after the death of its seventh Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson?

Chabad-Lubavitch has experienced remarkable global expansion, especially since the passing of its seventh Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, in 1994. Despite his death, the movement's infrastructure grew faster in the decade after, with hundreds of new "emissary" couples (shlichim) taking up postings and thousands of new Chabad institutions opening worldwide. These institutions include synagogues, schools, camps, and community centers, with annual operating costs approaching $1 billion.

This expansion is driven by the shlichim, young married couples who commit their lives to establishing Chabad Houses in diverse, often remote, locations globally. They are sent with a "one-way ticket" and minimal initial funding, expected to become financially self-sufficient by offering services, fundraising, and taking related jobs. The movement has a significant presence in North America, Europe, and especially the former Soviet Union, where it has become the dominant Jewish denomination. The commitment of shlichim is profound; they see themselves as "soldiers of the Rebbe," dedicating their lives to spreading Judaism and preparing the world for the Messianic Age.

What is the concept of "Shlichus" within Chabad-Lubavitch, and what motivates its emissaries?

"Shlichus" refers to the core mission of Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries (shlichim), which is to spread the teachings of Judaism and connect fellow Jews to their heritage. This mission is seen as a direct continuation of the work and vision of the Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson. The shlichim are young, often newly married, couples who leave their home communities, frequently Crown Heights, to establish Chabad Houses in areas with little to no Orthodox Jewish presence.

Their motivation is deeply rooted in Chabad philosophy, particularly the concept of "ahavat Yisrael" (love of all Jews) and the belief that every mitzvah (good deed) has cosmic significance in hastening the Messianic Age. They are trained from a young age in outreach skills, often beginning as camp counselors or Hebrew school teachers. Despite facing personal hardships like financial struggles, loneliness, and the challenge of raising children in non-observant environments, shlichim are driven by a profound sense of purpose and a belief that they are fulfilling a divine plan through the Rebbe's guidance. They see themselves as non-judgmental "salesmen" of God, offering accessible Jewish experiences without demanding immediate full observance, believing that the "Jewish spark" within every individual will eventually respond.

How does Chabad-Lubavitch engage with and attract non-observant Jews?

Chabad-Lubavitch employs a highly accessible and non-judgmental approach to engage and attract non-observant Jews. Unlike other Orthodox groups that might maintain distance, Chabad shlichim actively reach out to individuals, regardless of their background or current level of observance, operating on the principle that all Jews are intrinsically Jewish. They often create a "home away from home" atmosphere in their Chabad Houses, offering Shabbat meals, holiday celebrations, and free or low-cost classes and services.

Key strategies include:

  • "Mitzvah Campaigns": Initiated by the Rebbe, these campaigns encourage performing individual mitzvot like putting on tefillin (phylacteries) or lighting Shabbat candles, without requiring adherence to a full Torah lifestyle.

  • Public Visibility: Chabad uses public menorah lightings, advertising campaigns (billboards, newspaper ads, subway posters), and media presence (websites, videos) to reach a wider audience and normalize Jewish observance.

  • Hospitality and Personal Connection: Shlichim are known for their warmth, open-door policy, and willingness to offer personal counseling and support, often serving as surrogate family figures. They make Jewish learning and practice approachable, translating complex concepts into understandable language and focusing on shared values.

  • Addressing Modern Concerns: Chabad applies traditional Jewish wisdom to contemporary issues, such as relationship challenges, addiction, and personal growth, making their teachings relevant to modern life.

This welcoming, non-demanding approach often resonates with Jews who feel alienated from other denominations or are seeking a deeper spiritual connection without immediate pressure to conform to an Orthodox lifestyle.

What is the relationship between Chabad-Lubavitch and organized crime, particularly the "Russian mafia"?

The sources suggest a controversial and concerning connection between Chabad-Lubavitch and organized crime, specifically the "Russian mafia." This "mafia" is described as predominantly Jewish, having gained immense strength and immunity from prosecution due to perceived "cozy relationships" with intelligence agencies and control over media narratives. The expansion of organized crime in Moscow, for example, is linked to buying real estate and gaining control of banks and other enterprises.

Several key points highlight this alleged connection:

  • KGB's Role in Jewish Emigration: During the Cold War, the KGB reportedly exploited expanded U.S. immigration policies for Soviet Jews to "dump its hardcore criminals" into the United States, many of whom were Jewish. Groups like the ADL and Hebrew Aid Society, while financing immigration, were allegedly aware of the criminal connections of many arrivals.

  • "Little Odessa" and Russian Organized Crime: The Brighton Beach area of Brooklyn, nicknamed "Little Odessa," became a settlement for Soviet Jews and a hub for Russian organized crime in the U.S.

  • Bayrock Group and Trump Connections: Felix Sater, an individual with a "senior advisor" business card for Donald Trump, reportedly had ties to the Semion Mogilevich crime syndicate. Bayrock Group, which partnered with Trump on several projects, was founded by Tevfik Arif (from Kazakhstan) and allegedly had "hidden interests in Russia and Kazakhstan."

  • Oligarchs and Political Influence: The text notes that under Putin, the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia (FJCR), a Kremlin-affiliated Jewish structure, became influential due to support from businessmen close to Putin, notably Lev Leviev and Roman Abramovich. Leviev, a "Jewish philanthropist," was also a donor to Chabad Lubavitch and sold the former New York Times Building to Jared Kushner.

  • Paul Manafort's Clients: Paul Manafort, a former Trump campaign manager, reportedly worked for pro-Russian Ukrainian billionaire Dmytro Firtash, who admitted strong ties to Ukrainian/Russian mob boss Semion Mogilevich.

  • High-Profile Individuals with Mob Ties: Individuals connected to organized crime, such as Vyacheslav Ivankov (a Mogilevich lieutenant), reportedly lived at Trump Tower and had private contact information for the Trump Organization. Tamir Sapir, a Jewish émigré from Georgia and a donor to Chabad, reportedly sold electronics to KGB agents and partnered with Trump's organization.

These connections suggest a complex nexus of political, financial, and criminal interests, with Jewish organized crime figures allegedly leveraging their ties and influence in various sectors, including real estate and political circles.

What is the "Messianic" aspect of Chabad-Lubavitch, and how has it caused controversy?

Belief in the Messiah (Moshiach) is a fundamental tenet of Orthodox Judaism, and Chabad-Lubavitch emphasizes the importance of hastening his arrival through good deeds. However, a significant controversy arose within Chabad, particularly after the seventh Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, suffered a stroke in 1992 and subsequently passed away in 1994.

Before his death, Schneerson had increasingly spoken about the Messiah's imminent arrival and urged his followers to do all they could to expedite it. Following his stroke, a "messianist" faction within Chabad began openly proclaiming Schneerson as the Messiah, believing he would soon reveal himself. This group formed organizations like the "International Campaign to Bring Moshiach," used various forms of media (bumper stickers, billboards, ads, magazines, websites) to propagate this belief, and sang "Yechi Adoneinu" ("Long live our Rebbe, our master, teacher, and king Messiah, forever and ever") in his presence, interpreting his gestures as approval.

This created significant controversy:

  • Theological Conflict: Normative Judaism holds that the Messiah will be revealed during his lifetime and achieve world peace and redemption. The belief in a savior who dies and is reborn is a core distinction between Judaism and Christianity. Critics, like Dr. Norman Lamm, argued that proclaiming Schneerson as the Messiah after his death directly contradicted a fundamental Jewish principle and risked undermining the entire structure of Judaism, akin to accepting Jesus.

  • Internal Division: The messianist belief led to deep spiritual crises for some and a bitter internal struggle within Chabad. While the movement's central rabbinic body denounced the preoccupation with identifying the Rebbe as Moshiach as contrary to his wishes, some shlichim and institutions continued to promote this view.

  • Public Relations Challenge: The messianist fixation alienated other Jewish groups and became Chabad's "biggest PR problem," leading to accusations of fanaticism and "nut cases."

Despite official efforts to marginalize it, the messianist belief persisted among a segment of Chabad followers, leading to separate conventions and continued public displays.

How does Chabad-Lubavitch manage its vast financial needs and what kind of donors does it attract?

Chabad-Lubavitch has an extensive global operation with annual operating costs approaching $1 billion, and its fundraising approach is characterized by strong belief and persistence. Despite the modest personal lifestyles of its leaders and shlichim, who often live "on the edge of poverty," the movement is adept at attracting significant financial support.

Key aspects of their fundraising include:

  • Decentralized Fundraising: While Chabad headquarters provides some initial seed money, individual shlichim are largely responsible for raising their own operating budgets from local donors. This forces them to build strong connections within the communities they serve.

  • "Bulldozer Belief": Shlichim approach potential donors with infectious optimism, viewing contributions not as an onerous burden but as an opportunity to participate in a "wonderful mitzvah" and hasten the Messianic Age. They are persistent and often hear "no" as "maybe."

  • Cultivating Major Donors: Chabad cultivates "financial anchors" – wealthy individuals who contribute substantial sums. These "big hitters" often include non-Orthodox Jews and prominent figures who may be drawn by Chabad's "authentic" and non-judgmental approach, their social service work, or personal encounters with the Rebbe (even after his passing, by visiting his grave or hearing inspiring stories).

  • Celebrity Endorsements: Chabad actively attracts politicians and Hollywood celebrities, leveraging their prestige to lend social cachet and aid fundraising efforts for various humanitarian projects (e.g., drug rehab clinics, orphanages, medical clinics). Figures like Ronald Lauder, Jon Voight, Bob Dylan, and Joe Lieberman have publicly supported Chabad.

  • Service-Oriented Approach: Chabad offers many services for free or at low cost, such as classes, holiday programs, and social services. The idea is that once people experience and appreciate what Chabad offers, they will be motivated to contribute financially.

Donors often express a longing for the coherent, meaningful lifestyle Chabad represents, seeing their contributions as a way to connect with a deeper Jewish heritage and support a movement they perceive as tirelessly working for the Jewish people.

How does Chabad-Lubavitch approach education for its own children, and how does this differ from its outreach efforts?

Chabad-Lubavitch places a strong emphasis on education for its own children, adhering to a rigorous and all-encompassing system distinct from its broader outreach programs aimed at non-observant Jews. This internal education is designed to rear the next generation of devoted Hasidim and shlichim.

Key characteristics of Chabad internal education:

  • Early and Intensive Religious Study: Formal education begins at age three, focusing heavily on "Hebrew subjects" like Bible, Jewish Law, Hebrew, Yiddish, and the teachings of the Rebbe (Hasidus). Boys undertake intensive Talmud study, while girls also receive substantial Jewish learning.

  • Gender-Separated Education: Boys and girls attend separate schools from age three, reflecting traditional Jewish teaching on distinct gender roles and exemptions from certain time-bound commandments for women.

  • Limited Secular Education: The typical Lubavitch male's secular education often ends around the sixth grade, with a primary focus on Judaica. Girls continue secular subjects through high school, including math, science, history, and literature, and may pursue vocational training, but generally do not pursue college degrees, following the Rebbe's expressed distaste for college campuses due to perceived immorality.

  • Curriculum Adaptation: Chabad schools adapt secular curricula to align with their religious beliefs. For example, in science, evolution and the age of the earth are presented in contrast to biblical literalism, often using "yellow stickers" in textbooks. Literature is censored to remove romance, bad language, or non-kosher animal characters.

  • Emphasis on "Shlichus": Children are groomed from an early age for "shlichus," with activities like street outreach (mivtzoim) being central to their training. They are instilled with a sense of purpose to spread Judaism and a deep connection to the Rebbe's mission.

  • "Frum-from-birth" vs. "Ba'alei Teshuva": While traditional Chabad families are "frum-from-birth," the movement has also attracted many ba'alei teshuva (formerly non-observant Jews who become observant). Their children may have more exposure to secular life, but they too are raised within the Chabad educational framework, albeit with evolving internal dynamics, such as the increased use of English over Yiddish.

This internal educational system aims to cultivate deep adherence to Torah law and a passionate commitment to the Chabad mission, even if it means sacrificing broader secular knowledge or social integration with the non-Chabad world.

What is the significance of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's grave site (the "Ohel") and how does it function after his death?

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, passed away in 1994, but his grave site, known as the "Ohel" (Hebrew for "tent"), continues to hold profound significance for Chabad Hasidim and attracts a wide range of visitors.

The Ohel functions as a spiritual focal point:

  • Connection to the Rebbe: For Hasidim, visiting the Ohel is a way to maintain a connection with the Rebbe, who is believed to be present spiritually. They visit to deliver reports, seek guidance, and receive blessings, much as they would have during his lifetime.

  • Pilgrimage Site: Hundreds of people, including Jews and non-Jews, regulars, and first-time visitors, flock to the Ohel daily. They write their hopes, dreams, and petitions on small scraps of paper, which are then torn up and scattered onto the grave, symbolizing their prayers being received. Faxes and emails are also printed and delivered to the grave.

  • Source of Strength and Miracles: Many attribute miraculous powers to the Rebbe, and stories of healing, fertility, or divine intervention after visiting the Ohel or receiving items touched by him are common. While some Chabadniks prefer not to overemphasize miracles, they believe the Rebbe's blessings can manifest in the material world.

  • Continuation of Legacy: The Ohel serves as a tangible link to the Rebbe's teachings and mission. Younger Chabadniks who never met the Rebbe in person learn about him through visits to the Ohel, writing letters, and observing their parents' devotion, helping to preserve his memory and influence.

Despite theological debates about his messianic status after death, the Ohel remains a central and deeply emotional site, providing a sense of guidance, support, and connection to the Rebbe's enduring spirit for his followers.


Briefing: Chabad-Lubavitch, Organized Crime, and Donald Trump Connections

This briefing details the intricate connections between Chabad-Lubavitch, organized crime, and Donald Trump, drawing extensively from the provided sources. The information highlights alleged relationships, financial dealings, and political influence that intertwine these entities.

Chabad-Lubavitch and Alleged Ties to Organized Crime

Chabad-Lubavitch is a Hasidic movement that originated from Sabbateanism and frequently cites the Zohar and Kabbalah. It has transformed into one of the most influential movements in world Jewry, with thousands of educational and social centers globally. Chabad's stated goal is to reach every Jew in the world, and it actively seeks the support of the wealthy, famous, and powerful.

A significant connection between Chabad-Lubavitch and organized crime, particularly the Russian mafia, is alleged in the sources. Notably, the "Russian" mafia is described as being "more Jewish than Russian". Many of the "notorious oligarchs" who emerged in Russia after the 1990s, when the country became a "world-class kleptocracy," were identified as Russian Chabad-Lubavitcher Jews.

Key figures illustrate this alleged connection:

  • Semion Mogilevich: Described as the "boss of bosses" of most Russian Mafia syndicates worldwide, Mogilevich reportedly had a "good relationship" with Vladimir Putin since the 1990s. His organization, which has approximately 250 members, is alleged to be involved in trafficking nuclear materials, weapons, and money laundering. In the early 1990s, Mogilevich and his top associates settled in Israel and received Israeli citizenship, successfully building a "bridgehead in Israel" and developing "significant and influential [political] ties". Mogilevich is listed as one of the FBI's top 10 most wanted fugitives. It is also asserted that Russia's intelligence and security services (FSB, SVR, GRU) control the country's organized crime network, with significant parts organized "directly from the offices of the Kremlin".

  • Lev Leviev: Known as the "King of Diamonds," Leviev is an Uzbeki-born Israeli citizen and a devout Lubavitcher. He is identified as one of the Russian-Jewish billionaire oligarchs close to Putin. Leviev has come under scrutiny by the U.S. government and international media for his partnership with a Chinese business group believed to have funded North Korea, and his possible role in developing West Bank settlements. He is also accused of involvement in human rights violations and diamond smuggling in Angola and Namibia through his diamond companies. Leviev is also the primary donor of Chabad.

  • Roman Abramovich: This Russian oligarch is described as a close ally of Putin, with their relationship likened to that of a "father and a favorite son". Abramovich is a chairman of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia, which is allied with Putin's administration, and donates money to the Chabad movement.

Chabad's extensive network in the former Soviet Union is notable, where it has become the dominant Jewish voice, largely due to the influence and support of businessmen close to Putin, such as Leviev and Abramovich. Russia's chief rabbi, Berel Lazar, who is part of Chabad-Lubavitch, is known as "Putin's Rabbi" and frequently appears at Putin's side at public events. Putin has expressed strong support for Chabad, including participating in public menorah lightings.

The movement's highly public and extensive outreach often includes leveraging its influence with powerful individuals. Chabad seeks out support from political leaders and celebrities, sometimes hosting lavish events and fundraising initiatives that attract significant public figures.

Donald Trump's Connections to Organized Crime and Chabad

Donald Trump's business and political career has been linked to various individuals and entities with alleged ties to organized crime, particularly Russian and former Soviet Union figures, as well as connections to Chabad-Lubavitch.

Alleged Ties to Russian Mafia and Oligarchs

  • Financial Bailouts: After suffering a string of six successive bankruptcies in the 1990s, Trump was allegedly "bailed out by Russian crime lords". Studies by the Financial Times suggested that his real estate deals were used not just for capital infusion from Russia and former Soviet states, but for laundering "hundreds of millions looted by oligarchs".

  • "Manchurian Candidate" Hypothesis: Global Security hypothesized that Donald Trump might be a "Manchurian Candidate" planted by the Russian mafia in collusion with the Russian government to influence the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. The Trump Dossier alleges that Russia gathered damaging intelligence on Trump to blackmail him.

  • Denial vs. Reality: Trump vehemently denied having any dealings, loans, or deals in Russia. However, his son, Donald Jr., stated in 2008 that "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets" and that they saw "a lot of money pouring in from Russia".

Key Individuals and Entities Linking Trump to Organized Crime and Chabad

  1. Felix Sater:

    • Mob Ties: Sater is described as the "key figure" in the investigation of Trump's business friends. He is the son of a reputed Jewish-Russian mobster, Mikhail Sheferovsky, whom the FBI called a syndicate crime boss for Semion Mogilevich's Moscow organized crime family. Sater himself was convicted in 1991 for stabbing a man and later pled guilty to racketeering in a $40 million stock fraud scheme involving the Genovese and Bonanno crime families. He became a government informant, leading to sealed court transcripts about his past criminal activities.

    • Trump Organization Role: Despite his criminal background, Sater carried a Trump Organization business card with the title "Senior Advisor to Donald Trump" and had an office one floor below Trump's in Trump Tower. Trump, however, downplayed his relationship with Sater, even claiming under oath that he wouldn't recognize Sater.

    • Business Partnerships: Sater's firm, Bayrock Group, was based in Trump Tower and partnered with Trump on numerous deals, including the Trump SoHo project. Bayrock's backers reportedly included "hidden interests in Russia and Kazakhstan".

    • Political Influence: Sater sent an email to Trump's lawyer stating he would "get Putin on this program and we will get Donald elected buddy our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it".

    • Chabad Connection: Felix Sater is an active member of Chabad-Lubavitch and was named "Man of the Year" by Chabad of Port Washington, NY, in 2014. At the award ceremony, intelligence officers reportedly praised Sater as a "national hero," stating he "probably saved tens of thousands of US lives, maybe even millions… through the brave work that he’s done," aimed at achieving Tikkun Olam.

  2. Bayrock Group: This New York property developer, co-founded by Tevfik Arif, partnered with the Trump Organization on projects like Trump SoHo. Internal emails showed Felix Sater as one of its owners. Arif and another partner, Kazakh-Israeli billionaire Alexander Mashevich, were implicated in a prostitution ring investigation in Turkey. Bayrock was also accused of large-scale tax fraud and used Dutch mailbox companies to obscure financial flows. Allegations suggest that money embezzled from Kazakhstan was laundered, with some of it potentially used to buy apartments in Trump SoHo.

  3. The Sapir Organization: This organization partnered with Trump and Bayrock on the Trump SoHo development. Its head, Tamir Sapir, who was born to a Jewish family in Georgia, emigrated to the U.S. and allegedly sold electronics to KGB agents. He was a Forbes billionaire and a donor to Chabad-Lubavitch. Sapir's executive vice president, Fred Contini, pled guilty to participating in a racketeering conspiracy with the Gambino crime family.

  4. Roy Cohn: Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, was also described as a "mob consigliere." He introduced Trump to powerful Mafia figures like "Fat Tony" Salerno of the Genovese crime family and Paul Castellano of the Gambino family. These crime families reportedly dominated the construction firms that Trump hired for projects like Trump Tower and Trump Plaza.

  5. Resorts International: Trump acquired 93% of Resorts International in 1987. This company had a "sordid history," having evolved from a CIA and Mossad front company established in the 1950s for money laundering profits from drug trafficking, gambling, and other illegal activities. Its principal investors included notable figures like Meyer Lansky and David Rockefeller.

  6. Wilbur Ross: Appointed by Trump as Secretary of Commerce, Ross reportedly bailed out Trump when his Atlantic City casinos faced foreclosure. Ross, known as the "King of Bankruptcy," had direct financial ties to several leading oligarchs from Russia and the Former Soviet Union. He was a major investor in the Bank of Cyprus, a significant offshore haven for illicit Russian finance, where his co-chair was appointed by Putin.

  7. Trump Tower Residents: Trump Tower has been noted for its residents, including "tax-dodgers, bribers, arms dealers, convicted cocaine traffickers, and corrupt former FIFA officials". An illegal gambling operation on the 51st floor was allegedly run by Russian mobsters, whose ring answered to Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, one of the world's most notorious Russian mafia bosses, holding both Russian and Israeli citizenship. Additionally, David Bogatin, who purchased five condos from Trump, was linked to YBM Magnex International, a fraudulent company founded by Semion Mogilevich. Another key Mogilevich lieutenant, Vyacheslav Ivankov, also lived in Trump Tower and reportedly had Trump Organization contact information.

Political Advisors and Connections with Russian and Chabad Links

  • Michael Cohen, Felix Sater, and Andrii V. Artemenko: These individuals delivered a "peace" plan for Russia and Ukraine to Michael Flynn, Trump's initial National Security Advisor. The plan involved lifting sanctions on Russia and allowing Russia to maintain control over Crimea.

  • Michael Flynn: Flynn, later forced to resign, had questionable contacts with the Russian government and reportedly received payments from Russia-related entities, including Russia Today.

  • Paul Manafort: Trump's campaign manager, Manafort, worked extensively with pro-Russian groups in Ukraine and for Oleg Deripaska, a close ally of Putin with alleged ties to organized crime. Manafort negotiated a $10 million annual contract with Deripaska to influence U.S., European, and former Soviet republic politics and news coverage in favor of Putin's government. Manafort's client, Dmytro Firtash, maintained strong ties with Semion Mogilevich.

  • Carter Page: A foreign-policy advisor for Trump, Page was familiar with Russian politics and maintained close ties to prominent Russian politicians and businessmen. He was under investigation by multiple U.S. intelligence agencies (FBI, CIA, NSA, ODNI, FinCEN).

  • Jared Kushner: Trump's son-in-law and chief advisor, Kushner has "strong ties with the Lubavitchers". Trump's foundation and Kushner's parents' foundation have donated thousands of dollars to Chabad institutions. Kushner was a member of the Chabad House at Harvard. Kushner's father, Charles Kushner, was arrested on charges of tax evasion, illegal campaign donations, and witness tampering.

  • Chabad's Washington Influence: Rabbi Levi Shemtov, who heads the Central Committee of Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbis, serves the "daily governmental and diplomatic needs of the international Chabad-Lubavitch movement." He maintains close relationships with numerous U.S. Congress members, senior administration officials, and heads of state, often present at the White House, Pentagon, and State Department. A Shabbat meal at Kushner's home was attended by key Trump appointees, including Gary Cohn and Steve Mnuchin, as well as Rabbi Levi Shemtov.

The intersections described in the sources highlight a complex web of alleged financial, criminal, and political connections, with Chabad-Lubavitch often serving as a significant point of convergence for figures associated with Russian interests and Donald Trump's business and political spheres.

The Conspiratorial Construct of the "Khazarian Mafia"

The sources present the concept of the "Khazarian Mafia" as an overarching, deeply entrenched criminal enterprise, which they explicitly equate with the "Jewish Mafia". These sources, particularly "KHAZARIAN MAFIA RULES: While it’s true that Israel installed Trump in the White House, it was the Jewish Mafia that made sure he was elected" and "Trump’s Russia ties are really Jewish ties," assert that this entity has exerted immense and dangerous influence across global economies and political systems, impacting figures like Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

Defining the "Khazarian Mafia" according to the Sources

The "Khazarian Mafia," as described in the sources, is not merely an organized crime syndicate but is portrayed as a uniquely powerful and ruthless force. The sources claim it is "nothing like their Irish or Italian predecessors" and is "richer, more international in scope and far more violent and ruthless," even alleging that its members "kill children" and "policemen and their families". These sources contend that this group has achieved immense strength by effectively covering its tracks, remaining absent from news reports, and benefiting from alleged "cozy relationship[s] with European and American intelligence agencies".

Alleged Origins and Expansion

According to these sources, the roots of this "Jewish organized crime" extend back to tsarist times, where syndicates purportedly assisted "Lenin's gangs" in bank robberies and "general mayhem," making it difficult to distinguish between "Bolshevik ideologues and Jewish organized crime syndicates" during the revolution. In more modern times, the sources trace their origins to the black market economy of the stagnant USSR in the late 1970s, claiming this black market propped up the Soviet state and that its rulers gained enough power to form their own "people's courts" outside state control. These black marketeers, many of whom were reportedly released from Gulag prison camps, formed "Jewish bunds" that created "deep bonds" and maintained a highly secretive organization.

The sources allege that the "Jewish mafia’s penetration into the United States" occurred significantly through Soviet "boatlifts" in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This emigration was reportedly facilitated by the Jackson-Vanick law, lobbied for by American Jewish organizations, allowing Jews to emigrate while non-Jews could not. The sources claim that the KGB used this opportunity to send "hardcore criminals," many of whom were Jewish, to the United States. Furthermore, it is alleged that groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Hebrew Aid Society partially financed these "boatlifts," and that "Jewish groups who were financing the immigration... were unaware of the connections of many of the new arrivals". Much of the money supposedly "earmarked for immigration to Israel was pocketed by the mafia and redirected to settling Jews in New York".

Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, also known as "Little Odessa," is identified as a key location where Russian organized crime began in the U.S. and where many Soviet Jews settled. Marat Balagula, a major figure in Jewish crime according to the sources, reportedly converted his Brighton Beach restaurant, "the Odessa," into a central recruiting base for mobsters and a seat of political power, where "People's Courts" convened. These "Jewish mob" controlled courts were supposedly "more powerful and acted more quickly than the regular municipal courts of New York City," forming "a state within a state". The sources assert that these mobsters were "well protected by powerful Jewish groups within the city and the municipal government itself".

Key Figures and Allegations of Influence

The sources name several individuals as central to the operations and influence of this alleged "Khazarian Mafia" or "Jewish Mafia":

  • Robert I. Friedman: A journalist who extensively investigated the "Jewish mafia" and wrote the book "Red Mafiya: How the Russian Mob Has Invaded America." The sources claim he died early from a "tropical disease" and that "major mafia leaders put a bounty on his head" after his book was published. It is stated that Friedman "is not afraid to state the obvious, namely, that the entire 'Russian' mafia is Jewish, without exception" and that they used this as a "shield to deflect criticism".

  • Ronald Greenwald: Described as a rabbi and a "major connection between the halls of American political power and the Jewish mafia." He allegedly "knowingly did business with con artists and mafia figures" and used his "major political connections to shield them". He was reportedly involved in Richard Nixon's 1972 re-election campaign and used his post as an "advisor" on "Jewish poverty programs" to "protect the mafia's bilking of Medicaid programs and other crimes that were never investigated by the authorities".

  • Marc Rich: A billionaire Jewish investor with alleged mob ties, who was a "major player in the Clinton administration" and reportedly "swindled investors out of billions" without consequences, eventually pardoned by Clinton.

  • Natan Sharansky: Described as George W. Bush's "professed mentor," he is claimed to have "long and deep ties to organized crime" and acted as a "bridge between the Republican Party and Jewish thugs." The sources allege he "refused to sever his ties with organized crime, infusing the Jewish mafia into the highest echelons of the Bush administration".

  • Semion Mogilevich: Identified as the "master" of this global criminal network, "the boss of bosses" of most Russian Mafia syndicates worldwide, and "the world’s most dangerous man" by the CIA. The sources attribute to him control over Israel's brothels (where "Ukrainian and Russian girls are forced into sexual slavery," which is "legal in Israel if the girls are non-Jews"), Russia's vodka trade, and Hungary's armaments industry, giving him "his own army, artillery, mechanized infantry, antiaircraft guns and missiles of all types". He is also accused of having "nuclear weapons from the former Warsaw Pact countries" and trading "nuclear technology" with various governments. Mogilevich allegedly has "agents in the intelligence agencies of all European countries," making him immune to prosecution, and "close connections to the Mossad, which destroyed his criminal file". He is further implicated in the "largest money-laundering scheme in U.S. history," washing $7 billion through the Bank of New York. Mogilevich has also been described as having a "good relationship" with Vladimir Putin since the 1990s.

  • Felix Sater: A "reputed Jewish-Russian mobster" whose father was allegedly a "boss for the crime syndicate of Simeon Mogilevich". Sater himself was convicted of stabbing a man and pleaded guilty to racketeering in a $40 million stock fraud scheme involving Italian crime families. He later became a government informant and then a "managing director of Bayrock" with an office in Trump Tower, which raises questions about Donald Trump's knowledge of his criminal past.

Alleged Modus Operandi and Industries

The sources claim the "Jewish Mafia" is involved in various illicit activities and exerts control over significant industries:

  • Money Laundering: Mogilevich is implicated in a $7 billion money-laundering scheme through the Bank of New York. Donald Trump's real estate deals, particularly those involving Bayrock Group and figures like Felix Sater and the Kazakhstani cropping offs, are explicitly linked to money laundering, with the sources stating that Trump's properties were used to "hide not just an infusion of capital from Russia and former Soviet states, but for laundering hundreds of millions looted by oligarchs".

  • Control over Industries: The "Jewish mobsters" reportedly created a "massive mafia empire" in the oil trade, making them "invincible" and giving them "substantial" influence over oil prices. Mogilevich is said to control the "vodka trade in Russia and Central Europe" and Hungary's armaments industry.

  • Real Estate: The sources highlight how the alleged "Jewish Mafia" and Russian oligarchs invested heavily in real estate, particularly in Trump properties after his bankruptcies. This is seen as a way to launder illicit capital.

  • Prostitution and Human Trafficking: Mogilevich is alleged to control brothels in Israel forcing Ukrainian and Russian girls into sexual slavery. Tevfik Arif, a founder of Bayrock, was reportedly arrested in Turkey on suspicion of trafficking Russian and Ukrainian escorts, some as young as 13.

  • Diamond Smuggling: Lev Leviev's diamond companies are accused by former employees of smuggling diamonds out of Namibia to evade mandatory payments. Leviev is also accused of having "done business with dictators in Zimbabwe and North Korea".

  • Political Interference and Assassinations: The "Jewish Mafia" is accused of assassinating General Alexander Lebed in Russia to prevent him from building a "national socialist empire". It is also explicitly stated that the "mafia proved its power in the murder of Yitzhak Rabin".

Alleged Connections to Donald Trump

The sources extensively detail what they claim are Donald Trump's connections to this alleged "Khazarian Mafia" or "Jewish Mafia" network:

  • Russian Mafia Collusion: Global Security hypothesized that Donald Trump might be a "Manchurian Candidate" planted by the Russian mafia in collusion with the Russian government to influence the 2016 US Presidential election. This was supported by allegations in the Trump Dossier that Russia had "damaging intelligence on Trump which it is using to blackmail Trump".

  • Bailouts by Russian Crime Lords: After six bankruptcies, Trump was reportedly "bailed out by Russian crime lords".

  • Ties to Russian Mafia and Oligarchs: Trump's connections to Israel are said to extend to his "broad ties with the Russian mafia, many of whom hold dual citizenship in Israel". His son, Donald Trump Jr., stated in 2008 that "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets" and that they "see a lot of money pouring in from Russia". Reuters found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses bought nearly $100 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida.

  • Bayrock Group and Felix Sater: Trump collaborated with Bayrock Group, a New York property developer co-founded by Tevfik Arif and Felix Sater. Sater was a "Senior Advisor to Donald Trump" and had a Trump Organization business card. Despite Trump's denial of knowing Sater, photos show them together, and Sater continued to act as a "conduit between Russia and the Trump Organization" even during Trump's presidential campaign. Sater's father was allegedly a "syndicate crime boss for Simeon Mogilevich". Bayrock and Trump pursued deals globally, including projects in Russia and Ukraine, many of which failed or were foreclosed upon.

  • Mob Consigliere Roy Cohn: Trump's mentor, Roy Cohn, reportedly introduced Trump to Mafia bosses like "Fat Tony" Salerno and Paul Castellano, whose construction firms Trump hired for projects like Trump Tower and Trump Plaza. Salerno was convicted in 1988 for racketeering, with the Trump Plaza concrete contract listed as part of the enterprise.

  • Resorts International: In 1987, Trump acquired interests in Resorts International, which allegedly evolved from a CIA and Mossad front company used for money laundering profits from drug trafficking, gambling, and other illegal activities, tied to the Meyer Lansky Syndicate.

  • Wilbur Ross: Trump was bailed out of financial trouble with his Atlantic City casinos by Wilbur Ross, then managing director of N.M. Rothschild & Sons. Ross later became Trump's Secretary of Commerce. Ross reportedly had "direct financial ties to several leading oligarchs from Russia and the Former Soviet Union" and was a major investor in the Bank of Cyprus, described as "one of the key offshore havens for illicit Russian finance".

  • Kazakh Billionaires: Trump's partnerships with Bayrock involved figures like Alexander Mashkevich, Patokh Chodiev, and Alijan Ibragimov (known as "the Trio"), who faced allegations of "resource grabbing, money laundering, bribery, and racketeering". Tevfik Arif, a Bayrock founder, and Mashkevich were allegedly involved in a prostitution ring in Turkey.

  • The Sapir Organization: Trump partnered with the Sapir Organization for Trump SoHo development, led by Tamir Sapir, who allegedly sold electronics to KGB agents and was a donor to Chabad Lubavitch. Sapir's top aide pleaded guilty to racketeering with the Gambino crime family.

  • Gambling Ring in Trump Tower: An international gambling business catering to oligarchs from the former Soviet Union operated three floors below Trump’s penthouse in Trump Tower. This ring allegedly answered to Russian mob boss Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov, tied to Mogilevich.

  • Trump Tower Residents: David Bogatin, whose brother was CEO of Mogilevich's fraudulent company YBM Magnex, purchased five condos in Trump Tower. Vyacheslav Ivankov, a key Mogilevich lieutenant, also lived at Trump Tower and allegedly had Trump Organization phone numbers.

  • Foreign Workers: Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club allegedly sought to fill hundreds of jobs with foreign guest workers, using a recruiter with an office in Romania.

  • Sergei Millian: The head of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce, Sergei Millian, allegedly brought Russian money into Trump projects and was suspected as part of an FBI probe into Russian networks. He reportedly boasted of ties with Trump and his organization.

  • Paul Manafort: Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort, had worked with pro-Russian groups in Ukraine and forged business deals for Oleg Deripaska, a Putin ally with alleged ties to organized crime. Manafort also had ties to Dmytro Firtash, who admitted strong ties to Semion Mogilevich.

  • Michael Flynn: Trump's initial National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn, had questionable contacts with the Russian government and received payments from Russia Today and a Russian cybersecurity firm.

  • Carter Page: A foreign-policy advisor for Trump, Carter Page, had close ties to Russian politicians and businessmen and was a managing partner in a firm specializing in Russian oil and gas, with a former Gazprom executive as his partner.

  • Jared Kushner: Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, purchased the former New York Times Building from Lev Leviev, a prominent diamond trader and devout Lubavitcher with alleged ties to questionable business groups. Kushner and Trump's foundations have donated thousands to Chabad institutions.

  • Chabad-Lubavitch: The Russian mafia is closely associated with Chabad-Lubavitch, a Hasidic movement. Russian Chabad-Lubavitcher Jews formed a "substantial portion of the country's notorious 'oligarchs'". Vladimir Putin is popular among the Russian Jewish community and maintains a close relationship with Chabad, reportedly appointing Berel Lazar, a Chabad-Lubavitcher, as Russia's chief rabbi.

Proposed Solutions by the Sources

The sources propose actions for Russia to combat this alleged "Jewish-inspired crime":

  • Centralization of Power: Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to continue to centralize power and reform military and security services, making them loyal to the "new Russian order".

  • Public Exposure: Putin should "publicly draw attention to the global power of the bosses and the connivance of western powers in their rise and present prosperity".

  • Economic Measures: The ruble should be made non-convertible to prevent manipulation by crime bosses, and a strong Sino-Slavic trading bloc should be solidified. Russian banks should come under state control and be purged of criminal elements.

  • Militant Confrontations: Poorly paid policemen should be supplemented by local militias for "direct and militant confrontations with organized crime and corruption".

  • Church Involvement: The church should place its "powerful seal on the development of a mob-free Russia" and call on Russians to build a "nationalist and communitarian system".

  • Government Control of Resources: Russia’s oil and natural gas reserves should be protected by interior ministry troops and placed under government control.

These solutions are framed as ways to develop a "nationalist system dedicated to purging Russia of Jewish-inspired crime, imperialism, depopulation, and liberalism".
