San Francisco – Mark Zuckerberg gave his daughter Max a kiddush cup that belonged to her great-great-grandfather Max.

Zuckerberg posted a photo of young Max drinking from the cup in her father’s arms, alongside a marble kitchen counter topped with two lit Shabbat candles and challahs under a white cover.
“For shabbat tonight, we gave Max a kiddush cup that has been in our family for almost 100 years. Her great-great-grandfather Max got it after our family immigrated here and it has been passed down through our family ever since,” Zuckerberg wrote in his post.
Max, whose full name is Maxima, is 2; her sister, August, was born last month.
In a post on Facebook in December Zuckerberg said he was once an atheist but now believes that “religion is very important.” The post came after he wished his followers a “Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah” on Dec. 25, 2016. Zuckerberg’s wife, Priscilla Chan, practices Buddhism.
Unfortunately for the Zuckerberg kids, neither their father’s bloodline, nor fortune, nor drinking from a 100 year old kiddush cup heirloom will buy them any share in God’s nation.
“Her great-great-grandfather Max got it”. Nebbach, his poor ancestors must be rolling in their graves.
A Groisen Yasher koiach to all the commentators above who are acting as Hashem’s accountant during His ‘busy season’, by pointing out the aveiros of other Yidden. Im sure the Ribono Shel Oilam appreciates your help which will surely add to your merits in these pre slichos hours.
2 months paternity leave sounds gevaldig
The tragedy is even worse when you consider many of these intermarriages are considered legitimate by the conservative and reforms, and there is tremendous pressure to accept them, which if (ch”v) it ever happened, would completely destroy Judaism at it roots.
Start by stopping all the hate against Jews & Israel on FB, Mark. Your kids aren’t Jewish & unless they go through conversion, they never will be, so all this “heritage” stuff means zero. If you want to make nice with us, fire the moderators who allow the vilest things go through..
#3 – are you arguing with the fact that he married a shiksa and his kids are goyim?
Hoicheach Toichach is only applicable when ‘Ameisecha” will accept your toichocha. It is not a licence for us to vent our feelings for no toielas. I am sure Mark will not change his ways based on all the loving comments above. Nowhere in Hilchos Teshuva does it emphasize pointing out other yiddens chisronos , rather the emphasis is on improving ourselves. I have not seen any evidence of self improvement in the above comments. Let us hope that our merciful G-d does not examine our sins in the same way we are so quick to point out the sins of others. As for you #10 ,you are obviously unfamiliar with the ways of chassidus as illuminated by the Bal Shem Tov, The Berdichiver, the Yid Hakodesh , who saw only good in all Yidden, and countless other Tzadikim ( starting from Avrohom Avinu when he stood before Hkbh to plead for the Reshaim of Sodom who were alot worse than Mr Zuckerberg) not to mention Moshe Rabeinu, who pleaded for Klal Yiroel after the Chet HoEgal, which included Avoida Zara, Shefichas Domim, and Giluy Aroyos.
May the Ribono Shel Olam grant a full Mechilla reulting in a Kesiva Vechasima Toiva to all the above commentators, to Mr Zuckerberg,and to all of Klaal Yiroel.
All of you attacking #3 are the problem in today’s Frum world. You all think you are so Holy! It’s so funny how out of touch all of you are! You are all the same kind where if the frum person does not dress like yourself you put them down.
Mr Zuckerberg never grew up in a Frum home. Maybe by keeping that little jewish light of fire in his soul maybe many years something will happen positive from it.
Not sure why this is newsworthy.
I have b”h bla”h many jewish kids. No photos of me and them.
Why is it of interest that the jewish father of 2 goyim posts a photo of one them drinking from an antique becher?
Ahhh the money…..
Maybe one day he’ll return to his roots and realize his wife and child aren’t Jewish. Maybe one day his daughter will become a Giyoress. Who knows?
A lovely family.
