That's gotta be one of the cleanest cuts you've ever had
He MOS DEF did not go back and get the Chinese guy to cut it 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥💪
haha appreciate that brother!
I couldn't concentrate on nothing else 🤣
It’s his birthday you know he went to the bruthas for a cut lol
By far
I applaud this young man for being bold, stepping out of his comfort zone, being completely vulnerable, and allowing the flow of life to guide him while connecting with the community.
You realize with over a million subs your making 5 figures a month right? Maybe even 6. Yes per month.
I'd go do this same stuff if that was the payoff.
@@patrciaclemons8183 so you just assume he is doing it for the money when the video is not even monetized and he has 250k subs
Not bold it's confidence
It is a cringeworthy and intense craving for validation. I see it from all these UA-camrs who walk up to random ethnic minorities and start speaking their language. Desperate for validation. Quite sickening to watch
@@classicepisodesofcrimewatc9971 Language is most effectively learned through actual real time conversation and not sitting behind a desk 24/7
So if you're angry because this person is.. Conversing- Like all advanced mammals in nature have the capacity to do
I think you might have some issues internally to deal with, regardless of if he made a youtube video of it or not
The best thing about this is not the language skills, it's the effort to communicate. THAT'S what has generated so many warm smiles - and the cross-cultural warmth is the _gold._
The first dude was like you not going in there. Frankie is so good at blocking what started as a negative vibe and turn it into a conversation
What I like about Frankie is he just looks so joyful simply engaging with the world. It has the setup of a prank channel but all he wants to do is connect with new people and spread a little light
This is a fucking weird video to see you on. I used to listen to you when i was younger, legit thinking about the halo 5 rap the other day. Christ on a biscuit
hope you've been doing well, you were a part of my childhood i wont forget.

As a 41 years old Black man,seeing people from different backgrounds getting together and smiling is what makes me believe that life is beautiful...Shalom
The real Jews are Black. These people stole our history!. You are the real Jew. Research it.
Definitely
100% well said
Yes!
Then your happiness is cheaply bought! It should require much more to make you smile after what your ppl have been through!
That first man he spoke with was such a good guy, a true mensch for saying not to think about the accent as much as the words. Very true, what a wonderful piece of advice. He is a legend.
As a Jewish person from NYC i aplaude your willingness to reach out and connect with others and hope you continue in your studies. I do think there is a lot of cultural subtext that you are missing both in who you are approaching, where, the impact of videotaping people, as well as the cultural significance of the language you are learning. I would encourage you to find a study buddy (maybe the football player) and practice off camera. Good luck
This could not have been phrased any better.
This guy had the guts to prance in there without even knowing the Seven Laws of Noah sheesh
You were the ones trafficking black slaves!
He learned a few phrases to make a UA-cam video pretending to speak the language. It's mildy disrespectful
@@un_ubcribed Metzitzah B'peh is disrepectful
@@un_ubcribed I see where you're coming from and I was almost cringing watching this, but Frankie seems so honest and pure in his intentions and not malicious in any way. But he was a little tone deaf culturally. I was surprised so many people let him film and engaged him like this. Like you said, I hope he can talk to the football player privately and learn about the culture as well as the language as they go together. I wish him success!
That was very respectful of you to try to bridge cultural and language gaps in that way. "Mad props." 😉 I enjoyed this video. 🙂
Thank you! 😃
@@frankieslight please continue; most of these communities are misunderstood simply because they try to hold on to tradition-maybe they are the ones who understand what life is really about. I love it when we are able to come together as human beings so thank you for being vulnerable and continuing -I know it was not easy. I look forward to seeing you become fluent.

You are slowly becoming my favorite youtuber, your content is so unique and I love how you're connecting to different people through languages. Keep it up.
As a Jew, I appreciate you learning one of our languages. Not many of us speak Yiddish, so someone outside of our community keeping it alive is fantastic. If you try to tackle Hebrew... Good luck, shit is HARD!

My grandparents on my mother's side used to speak Yiddish when they didn't want me and my sister to understand. Gradually, we picked up a bit and now I know lots of idiomatic Yiddish phrases for a wife telling her husband to please shut up.
I listened to my wife over the years talk to her friends on the phone and in person and I picked up about 75% spoken Korean. I know when she’s talking about me, the kids, day-2-day, etc.

Love that the first guy gave him a heads-up by telling him where to find more Yiddish speakers if he wanted to practice.
He spoke too much
This video is incredibly racist against Black people.
It’s annoying when one is trying to practice a language but the native speaker tells you to just speak English. Like no, dude, I’m going to do this and practicing is how I’m going to do this!!!!
Exactly Smfh
Right it's almost as if they're saying how dare you speak my language....smdh
@@dehende07 That's literally not what he said. He said don't be offended if they don't respond in that language because it might be difficult for them to do that. Look at you missing the whole video and spreading hate. Gross.
I think that guy said his native language was French and he doesn’t speak Yiddish very well.
He just didn’t speak Yiddish, so he couldn’t communicate back in Yiddish. ‘He spoke a bit of the language only.’
Can’t get a enough! Thank you so much. Sincerely. For taking time out of your life to try to understand and integrate with other cultures
Duuude, I married a Jew, and I got to learn some words but haven't engaged yet in actually learning the language. I'm impressed at your interest and effort. That's so nice.
The fact they just opened up and welcomed him and continued to teach him is amazing
Yes, we Jews are shocking aren't we LOL - the ones that follow Torah are like that...we are taught to love our fellow humans since we are all children of G-d. :) There is a huge Jewish community in Mexico and we have Kaifeng Jews we saved (brought to Yisroel - they are one of the lost tribes) and our other lost tribe is from Ethiopia- whom we brought home to Yisroel to safety. Most people in the world are too afraid to approach us... like we have cooties or something silly as such. Be well, we safe and G-d bless.
@@vrose6372 I am a Noahide and can only wish to be among Lubavitchers. However, when I have visited a store on occasion I have felt more than welcome,, I felt like I was home.
I'm Jewish. These Jews are known as Hasidic/Haredim, which is a predominantly Ashkenazi subgroup of Orthodox. Their particular traditions began in Lithuania about 300 years ago.
A lot of people fear them or treat them poorly because of their lifestyle or the way they dress.
They are normal and friendly people with immense generosity, conviction and kindness.
New york tings love it
LOL THAT’S NOT WHATS HAPPENING HERE. They are amused and re-directing him away.
Now this is quality content
You know, you're not so bad yourself 😅
You are awesome Frankie! You have brought out an open, friendly side of a community I often see as difficult to approach and segregated from mainstream society. We need more of this to break down prejudice. Very heartwarming. Bless the God of Israel!
This is A Beautiful Thing. They Were Curious and Welcoming. The Interaction between Cultures break barriers. Well Done!
That fade crispy tho. On side note, big ups to put yourself out there amidst a foreign culture like this. We all need to have more courage to make earnest efforts to understand other cultures as you have.
True
💯
Totally agree
😃💞👍

You go young man. I'm an old man who Spanish, Portuguese, Yoruba and English. I am learning ladino. I'm fascinated by the Sephardi Jewish community. Like you I came up in Brooklyn. Proudly black, but will never be limited to what others think a black man should want. Follow your passion.
Well Said!
Great comment. Yes I too will not box myself in. I'm currently trying to learn Spanish
Yoruba wow......
@@ajibolak9022 mo dupue ore mi. I started with Lucumi. Lucumi is Yoruba as spoken in Latin America. Many salsa songs have Yoruba words. Like: "chango Cao cabiesile baba mi orisha"

As a jew, I'm very happy to see that, thank you very much for the light you have in you
You got balls Frankie, good stuff here putting yourself out there and getting that practice in and batting down people who keep telling you to speak in English
You could see this was a bit more intense for him to film, especially seeming that he JUST learned the language. But he pushed through, no matter how many corrections or lowkey standoffish vibes he got. We love you Frankie, and you're such an inspiration!
Mad respect!
I lived in that area for several years- standoffish to him wouldn’t be surprising at all.
Jews and Arabs aren’t very welcoming of others.
@@boundariessetinstone5893 Neither are many Americans.
@@jeanettejohnson7315 Not true we actually get talked about because we are so wild and outgoing. It’s why we rule Hollywood and why other cultures look down on us not that we care. It’s no lie that other cultures are very standoffish to Americans. If we are it’s because we are picking up the stand offish vibes.
It’s not easy for everyone to put themselves out there in situations like this. Happy birthday and good on you for sticking it out, even when things don’t go as planned
Lol right. Like nick cannon
Shout out to CROWN HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN
just wish he didnt label them orthodox jews as though there is an alternative todays day specialization is a nonsense so what he learned some hebrew hes using it wrong ofcourse the are multiple ways to utilize this language but this idea of downloading vocabulary onto people is a nonsense
@@MightyYoungSir Lol I agree the fact that he's pleasing on the eye makes the barrier easier to cross otherwise I doubt they'd give him the time of day.
Sounds like german. Some words are the same
I admire the handsome young man for speaking Yiddish! That is so amazing and so respectful. I personally have heard Kleizmer music which is definitely cultural. I was never taught Yiddish. I wonder who taught this wonderful and respectful young man.
This was was amazing. Peace to you ❤️
I give him props for overcoming the awkwardness and pushing thru with engaging conversation. How many of us often avoid these interactions?
We need more healthy interactions like this between the religious Jewish communities and non-Jews.
Healthy? They were all very weird toward him except flip phone guy.

Shalom/Peace..as a Blackman I must say, that part in the tank bus. That really spoke to me. That Jewish Brother was really sharing the knoweldge. I actually felt what he was saying, he was so open to welcome you and share his mission. That was crazy, I didn't expect that. You did good family.
You want to be conquered?
@bob marley I felt him too. Represent and appreciate the beauty and strength of your Culture and lift up your people by posting up to announce your pride in your identity with authority...so to speak.
I appreciate what you're saying, but remember it benefited him to be on camera and spread that message.
Love this comment brother
I did not feel good about it. He's talking about secretly/covertly conquering!! Also, the Jewish guy exclaimed he has his "GOOD" things to bring to the world, and you have (notice the word good wasn't used) your things to add to the world. Just seemed weird.
Frankie has such a gentle spirit. There were a few uncomfortable moments but he handled them all well. Good luck young brother. Keep pushing!
He is acting by the way. He is not a regular human. He speaks all these languages perfectly. Trust me he is a false idol just like all the other big UA-camrs, celebrities, politicians etc.

Its always so beautiful and brings tears to my eyes to hear the yiddish!! For me as a German it shows how close we ppl used to be in the past and that the yewish community was so included in the german society over such a long time in a way that our languages melted together... Its incredible and so sad at the same time... We were neighbours, we were friends, ppl living next to each other... Makes me speechless... And that kind of emotions coming up whenever im hearing so. speaking yiddish. I Love you Guys. And yeah history connects us in a way thats very cruel but at the same time theres still those artefacts that speak their own language (like yiddish) showing how Close we used to be culturally...❤

What a SWEET soul this man has ❤❤❤ And what a beautiful thing to do!!!
Amazing. Love the dedication to understanding other peoples culture. Not just their language! Always asking for ways to improve and how to pronounce properly! Never take any offense! As Jews we welcome anyone from any walk of life or denomination. We love teaching and spreading wisdom. To see someone so dedicated to understanding another’s culture wether or not they agree, but to get a perspective, is heartwarming. That’s all we want! More people to listen and debate with!
If you get in an “argument” with a Jew, please understand this is out culture. We challenge each other to think in different perspectives so we can hopefully find the most plausible solution. Thank you so much for dedicating your time to learn other languages and integrate yourself into other cultures. We need more of this in the world.
Remember! Arguing with a Jewish person is a privilege! You will gain a much different perspective! Absolutely love this! Thank you young man! Truly a saint 🎉😊
Love this video I’m from London and I’m not Jewish but watching a young man put him self into uncomfortable situations to learn and grow for his all round better good is inspiring it also helps break down racial and sterotypical walls between communities which will only ever be a good thing!

It's funny to hear Yiddish without a thick accent, whether it be Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, etc. Your Yiddish is very good by the way, I speak it fluently, and it's rare that someone who has no exposure to it can speak it with Chassidim. Zayt gezunt!

Yiddish is written with the Hebrew alphabet
@@critterbabies4620 I know. Yet

OK. I hope I didn't get the first.man.wrong.then? I thought he was slightly warding.him.off
@@vrose6372 to be honest I think you are wrong and my experience is you have more loving you from birth, womb even, than you will ever.know, they were just Brought up loving the bible People. So, on the contrary, what you could say is that it is almost like unrequited love going the other way.
I understand how as a Persecuted community, it can become culturalised that the whole world is against you. But believe me, hundreds of millions loved and Love you and need you to open up love to them back. It has always shocked me that your community feel this way and when you feel this way, it can influence how you conduct your relationship with other communities and can create barriers and suspicion. You have to remember millions went to war and died for you e. G. from Black communities . That is love. No higher love than that. So no please,.it is a great wrong and a disservice to group all other communities into one block as the whole world hating you.
Feeling like that can drive actions,.réactions decisions that border on showingThe Opposite of love and regards to those who just love you even though they don't know why, or, at the extreme end treating them as an enemy or opposition, or etc.
Mind you, immense lessons are to be learned from you regarding how you prevailed. But Please spread the message, and heal your hearts with this: millions left Their families, continents shed their blood and hearts and never returned home, so that your hearts can beat today! Don't grieve their hearts, lift your head and. Spirits up by the knowledge that is not being hated but love. By all.means preserve your culture but open the windows, and. Doors and break forth. Into. Singing. And dancing, and let those who sacrificed smile that it was not in vain. The very least they deserve is that you live your life freefrom enclosement based on the incorrect narrative that there are more or millions against you. This is because they set you free.
I know what I am Saying is very important because when you are closed off for decades, I can understand how one can hold onto beliefs both correct and incorrect from the WW2 period and how damaging not only that can do Psychologically within the community but it can lead to wrong decisions or. Responses which then generate resentment or. Condemnation and. It. Becomes entrenched vicious cycle. I have seen or heard accounts from.some Jews shocked to find others love them because they been brought up to feel others hate them.
So Sending love down your way to your community, there are millions who unquestionably love you.
From what I’ve heard Yiddish is an amalgamation of languages. However you can really hear the Germanic influence quite a bit. Outstanding video! Much praise!
This is so sweet.
Props to Moshe who spoke in Yiddish and in English, in the right proportions to help with Frankie learning Yiddish and promote and ensure understanding and conversation flow. As someone who has been in Frankie's shoes, it was the Moshe approach that was the most helpful. :)
YES IT WAS
Much respect for getting out there and talking with people to practice! I'm hoping the majority of people you encountered were kind!
I spoke 7 languages fluently when I was 24 - there are all but gone now - 30+ years later - you are an inspiration!
So heartwarming during these terrible times! we need this now more than ever:)) Bless you Frankie!
What a gift you bring to this world, Mr. Light. The more you do this, the more comfortable you’ll be and the more proficient you’ll also be.

I will never forget you nor this comment. Don’t know if it means much to you but I’ll always remember this comment when I feel like giving up. You are in my prayers🙏🏽🤲🏽.
Gerald Pollak, May Hashem be with you during this difficult journey. It may not be the end, but, rather, the beginning.
hello Gerald just want to share with you that jesus loves you and died for your sins so you can have eternal life.
We have all sinned against a Holy and Righteous God and will have to face judgement one day, and give an account of the wrong things we have done in our lives.
Jesus said there is no one good but God.
How shall we fair on judgement day?
Jesus died on the cross for all our sins and took our sins on himself, so we can be forgiven and reconciled to God. to all who truly repent of their sins and trust in jesus can receive his gift of eternal salvation. who turn from sin and live a life pleasing to God.
I hope you will think about these things before the time.
Jesus said if a person gains the whole world but loses his soul, what will it profit him.
God bless.
We pray for you Mr. Pollak

Awww thank you for this! I stumbled across your video because I was curious to know a bit about Yiddish, the language that half my ancestors spoke. It's crazy, but I've learned other languages, but never thought to learn even a bit of Yiddish. Wow, your video is inspiring! And I had no idea that Yiddish is on Duolingo. You are so brave, btw. I'm half Jewish, but I would feel nervous going up to random Orthodox people on the street. I love how you show us that they are just regular people, and they enjoyed talking with you. ☺
Wow, I commend you for your bravery! Even as a Russian-speaking Jew, I am intimidated to speak with Orthodox Jews because of the insularity of their community. I think it is so awesome that you approached them and were so friendly and open, it truly takes courage, amazing work!:)))
I wonder if there is insularity amongst Orthodox Jews themselves between themselves.
Chabadniks are not insular Avital! They are out there doing outreach and will speak to anyone!
I had the same thoughts as well, but this community seemed very open and willing to talk to anyone interested in them. Not sure if I could do what this guy did, but would like to one day? Very nice video!

Но у меня только один вопрос: а камеры зачем? Даже не одна, а две. И еще: на видео не было ни одного ортодокса. Ортодоксы бы разбили ему его камеры, и правильно бы сделали, потому что нечего использовать их язык и великую культуру для получения просмотров на ютубе.
@@kimikimikimik why so much negativity?? Grow up man the world is alot bigger than the box your living in.
This is a GREAT video because it shows you how to practice in the real world. You go in humble, open to learn, willing to be out of your comfort zone, not to claim to know everything and listen listen listen, never be offended if they say you're wrong and say thank you for their time and the experience. But most importantly I see you're just really honest with them and yourself, and that's what people love.
💯 respect
Frankie, you are so lovely in your approach and so willing to learn. I have really enjoyed watching you and have subscribed to your channel. Thank you for sharing your unique experiences!
If you listen closely Yiddish is a mix between Hebrew and German. If you understand German you can actually understand alot of it.
The way you put yourself out there to learn new languages is very inspiring. Keep doing your thing, my man!
This takes guts. Respect you for going in with an open mind!
always had a smile, the whole time! very nice to watch cheered me up haha
That’s great man, we need more people like you reaching out branches not burning them. Keep up the videos and keep reaching the Jewish Yiddish community. It could become a forgotten language if not.
I’m watching this alone in Australia on Christmas Day and you made me smile. Beautiful video.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas
You are never alone. Happy belated Christmas.
🙏🙏
you're worshipping a false idol on orthodox material, I'm glad you're smiling. It's ironic.
Hey Michael many hugs from the US. Prayers.
Followed just for this. Incredible job. As an Orthodox Jew I am so impressed, I don’t speak in Yiddish at all except for the few phrases my parents and grandparents said growing up
Sounds much like German
@@lydiahubbell6278 yes, it does. My mother a Russian German, spoke German, Russian, polish and Yiddish. She said that Yiddish was a form of low german. It's funny thing about my family, my mother spoke high german, my father spoke low german. My father would often say to us non german speakers, that our mother was a snob. Of course we had no idea what he was referring to, until our mother explained it to us.
Jensen, what's your stance on the Yichi Adonainu poster on the truck. I'm also Jewish.
It's like in ANY culture, there are different dialects within each sub-group. Frankie, you are amazing!!! You are so young, and have the ambition to communicate. It may seem weird to other ppl, but I do the same thing! I want to connect with everyone I cross, because to me, they are my sister and brother!❤❤❤ May God continue to keep the peacekeepers. Shalom!
As a child, Yiddish was spoken at home. Eons later, only some words and phrases were familiar. As I began learning mandarin-over 10 yrs. ago, I was struck by how many sounds, tones, words ( ex. ni.. shi...ma? ) are similar. I have been learning ASL, as well - truly fun, and, no tongue involved. - born in la belle province= French is mandatory. Colin Powel speaks Yiddish, as did the great James Cagney- explaining that he wanted to get along with everyone in his neighbourhood- you are just such a mensch! You impress and inspire me, I will brush up on Yiddish. Happy 2023 Birthday, Frankie! Wishing You all the best!
Very cool of you to do this.
With all the Jewish hatred we’ve received as a community it’s nice to see you embracing our community and languages.
All the haters Africans and Africans Americans get from y'all....y'all call us goyiom....and stole YHWH ELLOHEEM FROM us
@@andreamcgehee5072 You’re deluded and it’s sad.
You spreading hate is exactly my example. Nobody stole anything. A whole race isn’t responsible for a individuals or a groups actions. German Nazis murdered 6 million Jews. Do we hate all Germans? No.
Grow up.
@@andreamcgehee5072 also, i have black family members that are in my intermediate family and my fiancé is actually black as well. So - I have no hatred.
Do your mom's accept your black man
@@NicoWrites - The predictable “ I have Black people in my family,” My wife fiancé is Black” terms as a way proving that one is not a racist. I don’t know if you are, but none of what you said disproves that. Even a racist can have one or two close relationships with a token Black person, but hate and discriminate against all the others from that group, either personally/directly, or through helping to promote and maintain systemic racism. Slave masters had sex with their slaves, yet almost all still remained in bondage after the act was completed.
So much respect for this young man and his enthusiasm for learning the language. I am a 63 year old lady non Jewish and am in awe of his ability and thirst for his love of this beautiful culture
altho they seem rlly racist but ya its nice he wants 2 learn their langauge
he learned literally 4 phrases in Yiddish, picked 2 cameras (why?), went to neighbourhood where almost noone can speak Yiddish (and first comer told him that), started to move around trying to speak with strangers and everyone obviously reacted friendly.
This video has nothing in common with learning Yiddish or any foreign language, and sad that you dont understand that
@@kimikimikimik Thank you for your clarification and input . However there is nothing sad about me! Shabbat Shalom !
Thirsty
@@AbdulTheV1ogger what will you do if 2 camera men's are showing up and try to talk to you you're language...
THANKS Frankie love your
presentation a big thumbs up to you.
This information truly
Informative.
The best to you!!
2:35 this guy so chill 🥹🥹🥺🥺☝🏾
Dang that camera quality is nuts
Yeah man! On the first segment when he was talking to the yoyo man that shit was like a movie🔥🤣🤣💪
As an Orthodox Jew, we love to see it. Learn Aramaic next!
But there’s no active Aramaic speaking community, is there?
@@ezniyazov7970 I think there are a few fast disappearing communities that still speak Aramaic. I thibk Jews from Afghanistan may have kept speaking it. But the last Jew left there just moved to Queens. His eife and daughter left for Israel in the 90s. So the Affhan Jewish community is gone
Aramaic 🤦🏾♂️ why people just can't say ancient Hebrew lord have mercy
@@farapipsqueek636 there is one in Jamaica estates and some are jersey and Long Island
@@SpiritualSeeker12x12 Aramaic and ancient Hebrew are different
love this bro
This was a wonderful video go harder bro there is beauty in culture and ur breaking down barriers brother keep it up Man I had a blast wT hung this video dig deeper and continue to inspire. Loved this one definitely do another Jewish one.
Very interesting, and I like the way he was received by the Jewish community. There certainly is a lot going on.
They’re literally all giving him nasty looks if you pay attention
@@brandiethebrat9339 timestamp , I'm getting nothing but good vibes?
@@sad_is_fiction don't be so blind there were some good looks and some like what is this person doing here
Received well because they know his true heritage sadly young man doesn't 🧕🏽
First guy sucked. 2nd guy saw a camera and free advertising
Much respect and admiration. It takes kindness and humility to willingly walk into a fish out of water situation and show interest in learning about people who are different from you. Great video!
As a half black Jew I am IN LOVE with this video! I'm learning Yiddish too. ✡️😊😊
Holy shit this is interesting, as a Dutch guy I kind of understand some of the words which I was surprised by! Such a cool video man!!
Everyday is a schoolday
You are so brave! That's a tough community to approach, and you did so very respectfully. I think most people like to share about themselves, if approached openly! Liked and subscribed!👍👍
Why is it tough
lubavitch are the easiest jews to talk to
@@Notorious-AP you can walk through the neighborhood and find out.
So true.
Really? Chabad is the most welcoming accessible community. ✡
Frankie, you are breaking a lot of barriers in communication. What a powerful message you're sending to many of your viewers, and you're a great example of what we (mankind) can accomplish.
Guy has no idea who. Needs to read the secret history of blacks and Jews.
How are barriers being broken? Many "black" people speak Hebrew, even Yiddish. Come down off the shelf sometime.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Bro that is a fresh cut. Good video man.
It took a lot of guts to do this, and it was a lot of fun to watch. I hope you try this again as your Yiddish improves!
This helps me to believe it’s still good people in the world even if they are just trying. Great vid!
John 8 44 . You clearly know nothing of the jew.
@@dillondilldoe4121 buddy, you are reading an English translation of the Bible, calm down before you spew anti Semitic nonsense
