Former US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, celebrated their daughter Arabella’s bat mitzvah over the weekend with a party in Florida, as shown in a carousel of photos that Ivanka shared Monday on Instagram.
“From her commitment to feeding hungry families through the Jewish Community Service Kosher Food Bank to supporting children with special needs through her work volunteering with the Friendship Circle and Whispering Manes, Arabella’s giving heart and commitment to making a positive impact embodies the spirit of this special milestone,” Ivanka wrote in praise of her daughter in the caption on Instagram.
The carousel of pictures begin with photos of Ivanka posing with her husband, Arabella and the couple’s two sons, Joseph, 9, and Theodore, 7. Arabella wore a shimmery ombré dress from Custom by Zoe for her bat mitzvah party while Ivanka donned a sequined Jenny Packham cape gown and the boys wore matching tan-colored suits. The family lives in Miami, Florida, and Arabella’s celebration took place at the Trump National Doral Miami, a golf club and resort.
Ivanka also shared pictures of the family on the dance floor at the bat mitzvah party as well as images of her posing with her siblings including Eric and Donald Jr., her half-sister Tiffany, their partners, and Donald Jr.’s ex-wife, Vanessa Trump.
“We couldn’t be prouder of the extraordinary young woman she has become,” Ivanka further wrote in the caption of the Instagram post. “Her kindness, creativity, humor, empathy and passion have filled our lives with so much joy and inspiration. May her Bat Mitzvah be the beginning of a beautiful and fulfilling chapter in her life.”

Ivanka’s father and step-mother, Melania Trump, are absent from the pictures posted on Ivanka’s Instagram feed but they are included in three photos that she shared on her Instagram Stories. Ivanka said her father, a frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, and Melania threw a pre-bat mitzvah birthday dinner for Arabella at his Mar-a-lago estate a few weeks ago. Ivanka added, “it was special. We love you both so much!”
