Harris, alongside second gentleman Doug Emhoff, marked the day by planting a pomegranate tree at the vice president’s residence — a symbol of hope and righteousness in Judaism. Trump visited Ohel Chabad-Lubavitch — considered a sacred site amongst Hasidic Jews — in Queens, New York, where he had an intimate private visit to the Ohel, the gravesite of the Rebbe at the Old Montefiore Cemetery, where he was seen shaking hands with Rabbis and mingling with leaders.
Later, Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks at a remembrance event with Jewish community leaders at his own property Trump National Doral Miami, his campaign announced.
RE: planting a tree of remembrance.
At the university library where I used to work we had a ceremony and planted a tree brought in from a nursery to remember a woman librarian who had died.
Within a month in late spring, the tree had shriveled up, the leaves turned almost black, the bark was looking brittle and it looked like a twisted dead tree in a horror movie. The nearby trees were fine.
