Well-known American pastor Mark Burns congratulated Ukraine’s Chief Rabbi Moshe Reuven Asman on his 60th birthday. In a video message shared by the chief rabbi on his Facebook page, Burns expressed admiration for Asman’s work and for his musical tribute to Donald Trump.
Burns said he listens all the time to the “wonderful Trump song” recorded by the Kyiv rabbi. In the American pastor’s view, the piece deserves the highest honors in the United States – both an Oscar and a Grammy.
The preacher called the celebrant a “true warrior” and a “true fighter,” stressing that the rabbi’s efforts have helped save many lives in Ukraine. Burns thanked Asman for his leadership and for the love he shows both to the Ukrainian people and to the United States. He concluded his greeting by wishing him many more years of life and promising to see him soon.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Mark Burns, who in Ukraine is presented as the American president’s “personal spiritual adviser” and “chief pastor,” was absent when pastors prayed with Trump at the White House for the United States and its armed forces.
