Not too many people get the opportunity to go bowling at the Harry S. Truman Bowling Alley in the White House. Even fewer people get to bowl with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

A group of Chai Lifeline Mid-Atlantic children did both during an eventful Tuesday Chol Hamoed trip to the White House.

The children, accompanied by case manager Rivkah Flaum, enjoyed an exclusive VIP tour of The White House. Their day began with a meeting with Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Dr. Ben Carson. The group was inspired by the words of Dr. Carson, who is also a renowned pediatric neurosurgeon.

They then enjoyed a VIP tour of the East Wing and the Office of Vice President. After a delicious lunch break and an excursion to the National Museum of Natural History, the Chai Lifeline group headed back to the White House for bowling at the Harry S. Truman Bowling Alley in the White House.

They were surprised by a visit from Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who wished the families a Chag Sameach before returning to their responsibilities.

Chai Lifeline reports the kids – and their parents – were starstruck and blown away by their warmth and compassion. They thank Jared and Ivanka for giving the families an experience they will never forget.
