Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner were “very moved” as they joined music mogul Scooter Braun at the opening night of the Nova exhibit in Miami Tuesday night.
The couple attended the exhibit, which recreates the grounds of the Nova Music Festival on the fateful day of the October 7 terror attack in Israel.
The former first daughter and her husband moved to South Florida after their stint in the White House during President-Elect Donald Trump’s first administration.
Braun is one of the organizers of the project, which gives a harrowing look at what happened that fateful day when 1,200 were killed and more than 250 abducted.
Everything from the chairs and tents, to the burned vehicles and bullet-riddled portable bathrooms — all actual items from the festival — are on display.
“Ivanka and Jared walked through the exhibit, they connected with Scooter, it was a really beautiful night – they were very moved,” a friend of the family told Page Six exclusively.
Ivanka and Jared, both 43, are practicing Jews and are both working to combat antisemitism. On Sunday, Ivanka was seen volunteering at the JSC kosher food bank in Miami, which serves hundreds of families and children in the community, including providing essential support to 70 Holocaust survivors each year.
The Nova exhibit, “The Moment Music Stood Still,” has already been shown in NYC and LA and its foundation is supporting survivors of the attack and their families.
Miami heat star Jimmy Butler was at the launch, alongside “Girl With No Job” creator Claudia Oshry.
“It’s a place to educate and it’s a place to fight hate, and it has nothing to do with religion or politics or taking sides. It’s what happened at a music festival,” Ofir Amir, the co-producer, told 7 News Miami.

“All they were doing was trying to have a good time and enjoy. That’s the point of this exhibit. These were innocent civilians that were attacked and brutalized,” Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner added.
Meiner was among a long list of South Florida leaders at the launch Thursday night.
“We want people to spread the word, that people from all backgrounds should see what hate and evil, even in speech, what it could lead to,” Meiner further said.
