WATCH: From Jerusalem To Tehran? “Rav Of Saudi Arabia” Films Himself On Streets Of Iran


Rav Yaakov Herzog, the “Rav of Saudi Arabia” and a resident of the Ramat Shlomo neighborhood of Jerusalem, recently visited the Islamic Republic.

Rav Herzog, who lived in Brooklyn until he was 12 and has a US passport, wasn’t afraid to film himself in full Chassidic garb narrating in Hebrew on the streets of Tehran and at the kevarim of Mordechai HaTzaddik and Esther HaMalka. He also met with members of the local Jewish community.

The purpose of his visit is unknown as due to the sensitivity of the issue, he refused to be interviewed about his trip.

Rav Herzog has already ended his visit to Iran, flying from there to Saudi Arabia.

  1. The only 1 act which would have been infinitely more vile & despicable to which ב”ה he did not stoop nor sink to, would have been to film himself on the streets of germany or austria השם ירחם

  2. This guy’s garb is different than the typical Lubavitcher, but don’t be fooled. He is just another self-promoting follower of Rebbeh M.M. Schneerson, engaging in risky behavior (note the pictures of the Rebbeh behind him in some images), like many others before him (cf Samuel Boteach and numerous other examples).

  3. His fellow Lubavitcher, Levi Duchman, a number of years ago went to Dubai and tried to make himself chief Rabbi there. Although he didn’t succeed in getting exactly that, he did carve out a job for himself as the head Chabad Lubavitch honcho there. Seems this guy is looking to do the same thing elsewhere in the region.
