This author had heard it on good authority that the former Ivana Zelnikova may have been halachically Jewish and could be considered a safaik in this regard. If this is true, then she should definitely sit shiva out of a safaik

Huh? Yair Hoffman heard that "Ivana Zelnikova may have been halachically Jewish" and it never got leaked to the papers?

Ridiculous!

First off ywn is known to be a terrible source for actual news.
Secondly, this is the silliest article I have ever read. "On good authority" he heard this? Riiigggghhhht. If she was jewish, it would have been in the news and then her daughter would not have had to convert. Bizarre.

Doesn't matter. A ger is allowed to sit shiva for his nonJewish parents if he wants to, and I have a friend who did.

I was thinking of starting a thread yesterday when I heard about this, just a RIP type of thing. But now I've thought a bit more and will use this one to say a few things:
I've never heard of saying Kaddish for a definite gentile. My understanding is it's not at all necessary. I'm also skeptical about possible Jewish roots - it's NEVER come out before, has it?
As for sitting a full shiva, I don't know how helpful that is. But I would recommend taking it easy for a week, maybe having some hours where friends and family get together and reminisce. (As if Ivanka's here getting all our advice, right? Smile )
But I'm sorry for the Trump family's loss. It sounds like she was remembered fondly by all. I hope she found happiness in her life and I'm sure she was proud of her children.
