‘Rebbe Hood’ Coaxed Money
From The Rich To Help Others Story and Photos by Tim Boxer  VANKA TRUMP said she was five years old when a Soviet nuclear reactor exploded 22 years ago in Chernobyl, Ukraine, but felt compelled to help raise funds for the rehabilitation of the radiation-infected children.
The daughter of Ivana and Donald Trump joined a parade of stars at Chabad’s Children of Chernobyl benefit at Chelsea Pier 60 in New York. Among the notables were Jon Voight, Kiefer Sutherland of 24, Dominic Chianese (Uncle Junior) of The Sopranos, Kelsey Grammer, and Jeremy Piven who plays Ari Gold on HBO’s Entourage and this season starred in Speed-the-Plow on Broadway. "I haven’t been around so many Jews since my bar mitzvah," Piven cracked. For Voight, who emcees the program every year, this was a bittersweet occasion. Rabbi Yossi Raichik, the driving force behind the organization, had died in September. He was 55. "I knew him as the boss," Voight said. "The memory I have of him is all joy. I am honored to have been working with him for these 10 years." The dinner journal described Raichik as "Rebbe Hood." He knew how to coax money from the haves to help the have-nots. Honorees at the dinner were Ivanka Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization’s development team, real estate mogul Jody Durst, and Jon Voight. |
