Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the special envoy appointed by President Donald Trump to spearhead the fight against antisemitism, received an extraordinary letter of endorsement this past week from senior gedolim in Israel, both Chassidic and Litvish.
The letter, written in both English and Hebrew, expresses profound gratitude to President Trump and extends heartfelt blessings to his newly designated representative. Among the prominent signatories are Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, Rav Meir Tzvi Bergman, Rav Berel Povarsky, the Rebbes of Belz, Sanz, and Seret-Vizhnitz, as well as Rav Shaul Alter.
In their message, the gedolim refer to President Trump as “a leader of malchus shel chesed in our generation,” praising Kaploun for his new role as “a shliach tzibbur in the campaign against antisemitism, haters of Hashem and haters of His people.”
The letter highlights the urgency of the moment, describing a world where “dark winds are blowing and the darkness continues to thicken.” In such times, they wrote, it is critical to “stand as a beacon of light and hope.”
Kaploun, a Chabad chossid and businessman based in Miami, is known for his close relationship with President Trump. He was a key Jewish liaison during the election season, joining forces with Dr. Miriam Adelson to help build support for Trump within the American Jewish community.
President Trump recently appointed Kaploun as his personal envoy to combat rising antisemitism.
