Now he's buying a home in Qatar because "I'm an American and can go wherever I want."
Someone should tell Tucker that Ben also has an American passport. https://t.co/Hkaq4OHFzU

Major Chassidus Openly Worships Idolatry!
Chassidim and Yeshivish circles often criticize Chilonim relentlessly, sometimes even going so far as to deny their Jewishness altogether.
One prominent leader of a major Chassidus even questioned Chabad’s campaign to encourage secular Jews to put on tefillin, offering the twisted logic that such efforts are futile since they have “hirhurim.” It sounds absurd, but I’ve seen people on my own blog defending this childish sevarah.
And yet, when one of their own makes far more outrageous claims, the silence is deafening. Reb Mendele Viznitzer — who himself once referred to his own role as a “shvantz,” a tail — has followers who treat him as immortal, even divine.
If he calls himself a “shvantz,” who am I to argue?
The irony is glaring. The very Chilonim whom these groups disparage do not worship avoda zara. But within their own ranks, they tolerate and even celebrate behavior that borders on idolatry.
Michael Rapaport: How I became spiritually stronger through wearing tefillin
Jewish-American actor and comedian Michael Rapaport shared his journey of reconnecting to Judaism, writing: “It charges me up and connects me to my identity.”
The Jewish-American actor posted a photo of himself laying tefillin on Sunday, along with a heartfelt message about his spiritual growth over the past two years.
"I started wrapping tefillin about two years ago," Rapaport wrote on X. "I didn’t grow up doing it. I didn’t grow up understanding it. And to be totally honest, when I’d see guys in NYC doing it on the street or outside a bagel shop or in the park, I thought it looked weird. I didn’t get it. I didn’t understand the beauty or the meaning."
He continued: "But now? Now when I wrap tefillin, especially first thing in the morning, it hits me in my chest. It centers me. It charges me. It makes me feel focused, grounded, and armed - not with weapons, but with purpose, discipline, and identity."
Rapaport added, “It’s not just a ritual - it’s how I talk to G-d. It’s how I talk to my people. It’s how I talk to myself. And I love it. I really love it.”
He concluded by describing the powerful feeling after prayer: “I feel like a superhero when I walk out the house after praying. Not invincible - but connected.”
He ended the post with the words: “Am Yisrael Chai”
Prominent Belz Chasid travels for granddaughter's wedding and passes away
Rabbi Benzion Rabinowitz, a prominent Belzer hasid in Jerusalem, died over Shabbat (the Sabbath) at a US hospital.He was 87.
Rabbi Rabinowitz arrived in the US last week for his granddaughter's wedding, which took place on Tuesday in Williamsburg. On the night of the wedding, he began feeling unwell, and after dancing the traditional "Mitzvah Tanz" dance with the bride, he went to rest.
On Friday night, he was hospitalized after contracting a virus and passed away the following morning, during the week of the "sheva brachot" celebrations.
Rabbi Rabinowitz was known for his precision in prayer, and he taught the Belz Rebbe grammar methods. As a result, the Belz community began praying according to precise pronunciation using the "Avodat Hashem" prayer book.
Rabbi Rabinowitz suffered the loss of his son, Rabbi Yosef, and his daughter during his lifetime.
The funeral took place on Saturday night at the Belz synagogue on 43rd Street in Borough Park. His coffin was flown to Israel, and the funeral procession will leave Sunday night at 10:00p.m. from the Sanhedria funeral home in Jerusalem, passing through the Belz Great Synagogue in Kiryat Belz, and will continue to the "Kahal Mahzikei Dat" section of Mount Hamenuchot, where he will be buried.
Arab move against Netanyahu’s visit to the US
A senior Egyptian official stated Sunday evening that the joint declaration issued by eight Arab and Islamic states supporting the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip was the result of a coordinated diplomatic initiative led by Egypt.
The declaration was formulated following the visit of Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty to Qatar and after a series of consultations he held on the matter.
According to the official, Egypt and Qatar - the primary mediators of the ceasefire agreement - have expressed growing concern in recent days over the potential collapse of the American plan, citing Israeli measures such as opening the Rafah crossing in only one direction and delaying the full withdrawal of IDF forces from the Gaza Strip.
The official added that the timing of the declaration was not coincidental, as it precedes the anticipated meeting between US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He warned that this meeting could lead to changes or a new interpretation of the agreement’s clauses - a move that might contradict the understandings reached at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit in October.
The official emphasized that the purpose of the joint declaration is “to block the path to new American-Israeli understandings that could reshape the second phase of the agreement, contrary to the understandings achieved through Egyptian and Qatari mediation.”
