Even if the contract mentioned is a real thing, which we haven’t verified it is, in what other situation is a Jew allowed to take a job that will force him to work on Shabbos? Like DY said, they wouldn’t have starved to death without this. This isn’t violating a Shabbos to be able to observe many more in the future. In fact, the only aftermath I’ve seen thusfar of the Kushner’s attendance is that it’s causing frum yidden to defend the indefensible when they wouldn’t for anyone else. And since when do jobs in the public sector force Jews to violate Shabbos? If I thought Trump would change policy on that, I wouldn’t have voted for him.
