Ted Cruz Joins New York Jews Preparing for Passover

Brooklyn, New York — April 7, 2016 … U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate Ted Cruz joined dozens of Jewish children today preparing for the Jewish holiday of Passover.
The event took place at the Chabad Neshama Model Matzah Bakery this afternoon.
After the matzah making party, Cruz then visited the Jewish Center of Brighton Beach where he wished dozens of New York rabbis and their families a happy and festive Passover.
The Texas senator, who is in the process of closing PLO offices in Washington, was impressed with the final product, admitting, “fresh baked is better than the box,” as he took a bite.
At the Model Matzah Bakery, Cruz joined Rabbi Moishe and his wife, Leah Winner, and led dozens of smiling children in making the matzo and singing “roll, roll, roll the matzo dough.”
As the children sang “Dayenu,” a Passover song, Cruz clapped and sang along, repeating the word “Dayenu.”
Cruz, who is Christian and attends Houston’s First Baptist Church, told Rabbi Moishe he once had the privilege of joining a Holocaust survivor at the Seder table for Passover.
“He actually survived the Holocaust by being in a Gulag in Russia and he spent nine years in the Gulag,” Cruz shared.
In the US Senate today, Senator Cruz stood proud with the Jewish people as he introduced the bipartisan Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act.
The new law which facilitates the return of artwork stolen by Nazis during the Holocaust to their rightful owners or heirs.
The HEAR Act would ensure that claims in the United States to Nazi-confiscated art are resolved in a fair and just manner on the merits, and are not barred by state statutes of limitations and other procedural defenses.
Oh damn, you got me. Kind of like emigrant v. immigrant.
The drive-bys haven’t started in on TRUMP? This is the silliest thing I have heard all year! Seriously.
But no offense to you. I try not to let things go personal.
Senator Cruz just following that bible verse be all things to all men to WIN votes, become POTUS..
Oh wait, or was that to WIN souls...
Did that make any sense to you when you hit post?
Hah! Sorry, typo auto corrected incorrectly.
The ugly side...
Your candidate only HAS an ugly side...
There is literally not a single policy which he consistently supports which is rock solid.
Even on the wall, he wants a big beautiful door in it for immigrants to pass thru. And those already here illegally, he espouses touchback immigration...
The man is a reptilian... He will do whatever he needs to in order to fool his followers.
Cruz also loses to Hillary. Kasich defeats Hillary, so given your logical argument he should be the nominee on anything other than the first ballot.
Liberal Jews have back stabbed me with their libtard provincialisms, no matter how nice I have been to them.
Is Ivanka a Jew outwardly, or inwardly? (Romans 2:28-29) How would you know?
And I truly don't understand the relevance of your post, since Ted was not pretending to be Jewish, he was simply participating in the Passover preparation with Jewish friends.
Being a Believer, part of the Body of Christ, Ted is neither a Jew or a Gentile. That does not prevent him from enjoying fellowship with Jewish supporters. I have fond memories of my experiences with Jewish friends while I lived briefly in the Northeast.
Whereas Donald and Melania can just go over to Ivanka and Jared’s for the seder and see the new baby while they’re at it. No posturing. Just family.
I am a New Yorker. Cruz is right about New York values.
You do not insult a vast body of people.
If you have an issue, you address the issue. You don’t trash people.
Ted isn’t adult enough to grasp that.
Hell, he didn’t even know he was the Cruznadian until he was 43. Maybe another decade or so and he’ll grow up.
THIS New Yorker says, “See you at President Cruz’ inauguration!” :-)
What are you going to do when he kisses a baby!?!
Are you kidding? Stabby the Clown sleeps in a cardboard box near the TKS stand in Times Square!
Cruz is confused ( I am being generous here). The gulag was and is the soviet prison system written about most notably by Solzheneitzen.
A survivor of the holocaust would be someone who lived through the horror that Germany imposed through the concentration camps.
Many survived the gulag. .... not so the holocaust
Apparently you missed the video where a young woman pulls away from Ted trying to kiss her
Oh please! A Californian is going to tell *me* about New Yorkers?
When Trump was a self proclaimed liberal, he said in an interview he was “pro choice” and all the rest because he’s from Manhattan. I’ve seen/heard this clip a number of times and it’s a few minutes long because it’s all in context.
Sounds very much like the one of him trying to kiss his DAUGHTER.
Aww you poor thing. You’ve fallen and you can’t get up.
Ten months in, you don’t your -— from a hole in the ground when it comes to Trump policy.
Give up.
