Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a likely Republican presidential candidate and a vocal pro-Israel hawk, is being advertised as a featured attraction at a string of ritzy resort vacation getaways catering to religious Jews.
Cruz, along with several rabbis, is listed as a speaker at four different vacation spots, including Aspen, over Passover, the spring holiday that honors the freeing of enslaved Jews in Egypt. The Prime Hospitality Group is the company behind the offers, according to an email solicitation shared with POLITICO.
“4 Questions. 4 Cups of Wine. 4 Sons. And 4 Luxurious Prime Passover Programs,” the invitation reads. “All featuring unparalleled service and The Prime Group’s legendary cuisine.”
A Cruz adviser insisted he’s speaking at only one event, although Prime Hospitality’s ads suggest he’ll be at getaways in Westlake Village and Monarch Beach in California; Aspen, Colorado; and in Vieques Island, Puerto Rico.
The first, in Westlake, promises to be “intimate and personal and will feature the inspiring Rabbi Eli Mansour, Rabbi Daniel Mechanic, Rabbi Shlomo Einhorn, Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis, Malcolm Hoenlein and Senator Ted Cruz, surpassing all expectations.”
The one at the St. Regis Monarch Beach offers “some of the greatest rabbis and scholars of our time including Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Rabbi Eli Mansour, Rabbi Marvin Hier, Rabbi Abraham Cooper and Senator Ted Cruz.”
Cruz is listed on the programs for the two others, alongside a number of rabbis.
Prime Hospitality runs a string of high-end kosher restaurants, including The Prime Grill in New York, and is offering the vacations under the banner “The Prime Experience” on its website.
An adviser to the conservative senator insisted he’s appearing only at one of the vacation spots: in Monarch Beach on April 8. The adviser added that Cruz also has fundraiser scheduled there and that “well-meaning program organizers overstated his participation” at the events.
Cruz is expected to talk about foreign policy and Israel when he appears at the resort. The Republican has been aggressively trying to court prospective donors for a likely presidential run, traveling to several states, including repeatedly to New York and California.

This just shows how attractive of a potential Presidential candidate Ted Cruz is becoming.
A big Ted Cruz ping.
But also a reminder: America needs to bring back American jobs.
Stop buying everything from China.
Be for jobs, Ted. Jobs right here, in America. Jobs.
The End of Chinese Manufacturing and Rebirth of U.S. Industry
Even if the Chinese automate their factories with AI-powered robots and manufacture 3D printers, it will no longer make sense to ship raw materials all the way to China to have them assembled into finished products and shipped back to the U.S. Manufacturing will once again become a local industry with products being manufactured near raw materials or markets.
So China has many reasons to worry, and manufacturing will undoubtedly return to the U.S.—if not in this decade then early in the next. But the same jobs that left the U.S. won’t come back: they won’t exist. What will the new jobs be? We can only guess. Autodesk CEO Carl Bass says that just as we have created new, higher-paying jobs in every other industrial transition, we will create a new set of industries and professions in this one. Look at the new types of jobs and multi-billion dollar businesses that the Internet and mobile industries created—these came out of nowhere and changed our lives, Bass says.
Where’s the Romney for Passover ad? Or Jebbie?
I’m sorry, I do not agree.
There is lots and lots and lots of manufacturing which had been done in America, which is now done in China.
We need to bring back American jobs. Bring them BACK.
Jobs. That is what is needed. Yes there is a while huge bunch of manufacturing, and it moved from America to China.
We need to stop importing everything, and we need to return manufacturing right here to America.
Go into any store, in any city, in any state throughout all of America.
Pick anything.
“Made in China”.
We need to bring back American production.
GOP, be the party which brings back American jobs.
You mention America three times in your post, I only hope Ted remembers us once...
We know in his Olympics Israel and Cuba get gold and silver.
I just hope we top Canada for Bronze!
Go to that link and read the article. Between fracking and 3D printing the manufacturing sector is headed back here. Will there be tons of unskilled labor jobs like it is 1920 again? Nope, that ship has sailed. Folks need to head to trade schools and apprenticeships to learn what will be needed. As for opportunities in general, I want to recruit people to an opening where they could very possibly make six figures in the first or second year, but sales are involved and hard work, so many turn their noses up at it.
Do you reside in Colorado by any chance?

Another one of your not-so-subtle cheap shots at Ted Cruz. You’re becoming known for those.
“Where do you reside per chance?”
As much as I want to help contribute conversation to topics we find interesting but others ignore I cannot violate policy:
Loose lips sink Ships!
I welcome any attempt he may make to disabuse me of my suspicions
Either you didn’t get my drift or you’re being obtuse. Your comment about Ted Cruz caused me to wonder if you live in a state where marijuana is freely available over-the-counter. Perhaps it’s Washington State then, or you’re a drinker? Or have a reliable cannabis dealer?
Don’t worry, like the roach in the Raid commercial, he doesn’t even see it coming.
“Perhaps it’s Washington State then?”
Really, I answered this in your last query, I will not divulge where I live or my identity in open forum.
Surely, you know these are very important rules given your apparent authority.
(and I did not call you Shirley)
Good to have you back, pissant.
“Good to have you back, pissant.”
Now that’s not nice as profanity is forbidden, and if that is a “handle” it does not refer to me, present or past.
However, since your fascination is boundless I will acknowledge as night approaches here, afternoon awaits you.
Please enjoy your falafel and kugel and I bid you good day
Palin Cruz 2016~~!!!
Yes, “pissant” was the handle of a prominent freeper. Even if ity weren’t, it is not quite a swear word, it is actually a type of ant.
That said, supporting an ally in the Middle East, as long as it is not done at the expense of genuine U.S. interests or to support immoral behavior (and I am NOT accusing Israel of that) is a a way of supporting America. If Cruz promoted fulfilling our promise to provide anti-missle defense for Poland, etc., that would not give Poland “the bronze”, anymore than his Delaware mother being in Canada at the time of his birth gives him a special allegiance to Canada.
I am not sure how being against propping up a brutal Communist distatorship that is STILL run by the brothers that started the idea of putting nukes pointed at us 90 miles off shore is a good idea.
In both cases, Cruz’ policy is about 180 degrees opposed to Obama’s, and that, my friends, is clear evidence that he has America #1.
