Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser’s Viral Rant Shocks Social Media
Known as the “Surfing Rabbi” thanks to his pro-wave-riding past, Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser made the explosive claims in a now-viral video stirring anger across social platforms.
“The most powerful nations in the world have to go down to their knees. That’s what happened to Egypt, that’s what’s gonna happen to America, Germany, France, London, England,” Glaser warned. “They’re gonna go down hard for how they treated us over the last 2,000 years. Hashem’s gonna take them down hard.”
From Hollywood Waves to Jerusalem’s Spiritual Frontline
Glaser hails from Hollywood, California, where he spent a dozen years as a pro surfer before moving to Israel in his twenties. A Baal Teshuva—a returnee to the Jewish faith—he now teaches Kabbalah and spirituality in Jerusalem’s Old City and commands respect within the Pinsk-Karlin Chasidic community.
