I LIVE THERE! So, excited lol! And I’m MUSLIM! The HASIDIC JEWISH people are very nice! I love going to their restaurants and bakery. They always get happy to see me. Love their bread (challah) and pizza.
All men sin and fall short of the glory of God. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, rose again on the third day and was the final sacrifice for the sins of all men. He was fully man and fully God. He was a Jew born of the tribe of Judah. He fulfilled the scriptures written about the Messiah by the prophets. There is no way into Heaven except by Jesus, He is the truth, the life and the only way. May the Lord bless all who read this, in Jesus name Amen.
A friend was injured in a bicycle accident in their neighborhood, he enthusiastically told me how these people arrived immediately and treated him in a warm and humane way. Respect for them.
My friend is Hispanic and lesbian and her and her wife live there. They are welcomed with open arms. Their landlord is Hasidic he has them over to holidays dinner etc... the families are friends jusf beauriful people
I am a born again Christian. I went to the Jewish center near me for counseling and they were so warm and welcoming to me and put me in the group counseling and didn't even charge me. Jewish people are good people.
How far along do Jewish teachings align with Jesus Christ's teachings in the New Testament? Did you ever spend enough time with them to find out? God bless you 🙏
Legend has it, women will convert to jewism for marriage and give birth to a school of kids. I mean this is exactly the dream community of many western modern-day women. You here that? We date for marriage in 7 days. I know that sounds good to many women here.
@@Stewpkiddable first time watching something? I guess you would stand there unprepared and ramble around without giving Information. You need a Script 😅
It's safe because of Their unity, they all look out for eachother, however at the same time they manipulate control dominate and divide Us, so it's easier for them to rule over us.
Shloime's narrative is excellent- not only is he relatable, he breaks everything down in a way anyone can understand, and humanizes a society that has been shrouded in mystery. I would love to live there.
You definitely would not. It's a hyper religious community with an extremely strict way of life. If you're woman your only job is to have babies and take care of your husband and home. Every Saturday you have the spend the whole day praying and can't even turn on a light switch as forbidden by the religion.
@@robotikempire Your comment shows you definitely don't know this community....🙄 1) The women all work. It is the men who learn Torah and often don't work. The women 100% work. They are accountants, property managers, office managers, they run small businesses, clothing/ beauty stores, etc. 2) Jews don't pray all day every Saturday.....omg that was the funniest thing I've ever read!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Jewish MEN pray 3 times a day. There is no "all day" prayer. And women are not required to pray. You seem to have a lot of opinions for a person who doesn't know much...🤔
I was a child Russian immigrant with my family to the States in the early 90s. My step dad was Jewish (he is dead now so past tense) ...The Jewish community was very warm and helpful to us and I went to their school and started learning the language until I was transferred. Deeply spiritual people that I respect.
It's a cult. It is interesting how his approach was completely different to the orthodox Jews of New York, Borough Park and LDS. Orthodox Jews are a classic cult, they forbid watching TV, using cell phones, force women to wear wigs, dress like aunts, and give birth to 10 children each. But he showed them as "normal, average New Yorkers". WTF
As a New Yorker, I grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. My family is Muslim and they were plenty of other Muslims in the area. We all lived in peace. No one disturbed anyone. The orthodox Jews do not talk to anyone but their own kind and we respected that. I believe we all come from the same Abrahamic religions and we have never passed any judgments on them. Jewish folks are very polite folks! Jews and Muslims have a ton of similarities where we don’t drink alcohol, date & marriage, not eat pork, ham, eat kosher/halal, etc. (Of course not exactly the same, but more similar than different.) I believe if we respect everyone and their religion there will never be conflict. The point is that we need to respect each other’s beliefs and leave judgment to God. Overall, this video was informative as it dives into the depth of their religion and culture. It was very interesting and I enjoyed it. Here’s to wishing we could all be in peace around the world. Peace and love to all. Thanks for sharing!
@Vicki Soni Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. Of course the religions are not entirely the same when it comes to practice and the holy books. I had mentioned that they’re plenty of similarities. From my research and understanding of both religions, the Jews believe in One God "Allah", the Creator of everything with no partner, nothing is like unto Him and He is invisible to all creatures. As do the Muslims. I did not know that the word “Allah” is considered a curse term in the Torah. I am hearing this for the first time and not sure where that is stated in the Torah. I will look this up. The main thing is that Islam and Judaism worship one God only called Allah in Arabic and Elohim in Hebrew and it is the same. Muslims and Jews share beliefs in certain Prophets. Jews believe that Moses is the greatest of all Prophets who was sent to mankind. Muslims also believe in Moses, who is in fact the Prophet most mentioned in the Quran. Muslims and Jews also believe in Abraham, Noah, David, Solomon, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Nevertheless, in religious practice are very similar because they share this common descent from Abraham. Islam and Judaism are resolutely monotheistic faiths. Allah is the same Creator, Sustainer, and Provider that Jews and Christians worship. I can go on and on about some other similarities: Jews only eat kosher and Muslims only eat halal. There are many similarities between kosher and halal, not drinking alcohol, not eating pork and both religions encourage modesty and require that women cover their hair. If you dig deep into the bible, torah, quran, buddhism, hinduism etc. You will come to find that all is one.The differences come from different times, different cultures, different revelation types, different languages. At the end of the day, there is only one God and he is God for all of us. So, let’s talk more of our similarities rather than differences. This is the reason for so much conflict in the world. I don’t wish to discuss this any further as I am not here to argue. Good luck to you!
@Vicki Soni are you spreading your venom here as well? Oh my god!! No one is saying islam is part of Judaism! Far from it. We are saying there are similarities. Why can’t you get that through your fat head??
This was so interesting. I’ve never seen a documentary of Jewish people sharing their day to day activities and talking about their culture. I learned many new things. Shloime did an excellent job.
@@theworldischanging968 so in your mind, being brain dead is a requirement of being normal? Different cultures are variations on a theme. In this case the theme of being human. Intelligent people are interested in how things that are similar are also different. So they're interested in cultures.
This is what proper journalism looks like. We need more journalists like Peter. He literally gives you a tiny snippet of there lifestyle and it completely shifts people's perspective on them. The sensationalist media loves to hold onto this terrible narrative of them searching for every isolated incident that can make them look bad. I've been to Vegas many times at CES convention with Hassidim and they we're the nicest people to deal with. They provided free meals, lavish meals. They have so many community organizations for sick people, for grieving people, for infertility treatment subsidies, food drives, paramedic and patrol volunteers, you name a communal need and they have a service for it. Charity is a major value of the ultra orthodox community and is actually a law in Judaism to give at least 10% of income to charity.
How is this journalism ? It not only presents one view without ever challenging , the guy presenting it is part of the group the subject is about. That is like talking about democrats and their problems and talking only to the dnc chair
I'm just seeing this today, January 8, 2023. I am very far from Hassidic but I am a Jew. I LOVE what you are showing here. I've always known Hasidic Jews are great people with a great community. Continue your great work showing the community properly. Shlome is terrific showing off the community and his family. And you Peter, are so open and receptive - beautiful thing you are doing.
Bro u meet someone on the street in any Jewish community and u strike up conversation u play “Jewish Geography” and find out ure actually really distant cousins “Oh! Ure a Goldberg? My mother’s grandmother was a Goldberg! Do u know Chani Goldberg from Monsey? No way! She’s my friend from camp! That’s so cute!”
The only danger is hate crimes, when somebody comes and stabs Jews because they are a Neo-Nazi. Like what happened in the kosher market. My heart hurts to think about it
That’s called community and these people are about as tight as it gets. We need to get back to that everywhere. Whether it be through religion or other things.
That’s called community and these people are about as tight as it gets. We need to get back to that everywhere. Whether it be through religion or other things.
@@strugglingcollegestudent Not only Neo nazis stab jews. There are lots of blacks who are attacking the Jewish people at an alarming rate which is incredibly sad. They don't bother anyone. If their mere presence bothers you then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM, NOT THEM. Stop the hate. They are a very peaceful people.
Sadly this is what we lost in the recent years...a sense of belonging and being a part of a community. Its so important and that is why we now have so many problems in society.
I need to say thank you for what I think is the most open, unbiased, honest look into Hassidic Jewish culture that I have ever seen. As a woman who grew up in a massive family of Vizhnitz Hasidic Jews, I learned at a young age to stay away from most media pertaining to my culture and religion, I clicked on this video expecting misinformation and demonization, and I was so incredibly surprised by the genuine learning and sharing of information. I'm Modern Orthodox now, I spent a large part of my young adulthood exploring and learning about religion; I've never been good at doing something simply because I've been told to, and the open honesty and actual teaching that was going on in this little documentary was an absolutely beautiful thing to see. Thank you for this lovely video 🌼
Sarah N While it's refreshing not to see the hostility. I would not say it's unbiased. Shloimy is a decent guy and he is being somewhat honest but at the same time he's also leaving out a lot of the negative and presenting everything in a very positive way for the most part. The Channel is buying into it. But there are many problems in the hasidic world. Discrimination against women mostly by limiting what they can do and achieve . Though there are some that manage to achieve quite a lot for that world such as judge ruchie. He also was not honest about converting or proselytizing (though in fairness he was interrupted) as they may not target not Jews but lool how much Chabad and other groups target secular Jews? Also the hostile attitude to non Jew may be partially a response to protect themselves from antisemitism but it's much deeper than that. Racism for example runs very deep in this world and in general going to yeshiva as an inpressionable child I was exposed to constant comments about how things are so bad in the goyish world and how we are so much better (today we see one scandal after another, one covered up child abuse incident after another so its BS anyway). Stil shloimy does seem like a great guy and I respect what he does also in the Middle East. (Some would argue he got the blessing for Pizza wrong. ) And I like what Peter is doing also but he does seem a bit naive.
Shloime is an excellent interlocutor for the Hasidic community. He does such an amazing job of explaining and illustrating Hasidic life, with its whys and whats. Really amazing.
@@mariahewitt9787 No doubt. Cults like this are the reason that they were forced by moral societies to refrain from their barbaric religious practices.
Judaism is the only ethno-religion! In that, its the only religion that requires you to be genetically Jewish, and have Jewish lineage/blood. And also practicing Judaism. All Jews who can prove their blood bloodline are allowed "return to Israel and granted Israeli citizenship if they so choose. This is because despite where they were born or live, Jews only have loyalty to one nation- Israel! I hope you learned something (=
Ive lived in Brooklyn all my life and have interacted with the Hasidic women, at my jobs. The women are truly kind, gentle and sincere. I love watching this series of films. Thanks.
I liked the constant battle he was having with his mask. Just when you thought he had it successfully pinned underneath his chin, it would wriggle out and attack his mouth again and again. That match happening in the background definitely helped fill in any lulls during the interview, which was very well done btw.
I am Pakistani and after watching this video I personally think Jewish people are very loving,very caring and sensible. We all shall meet them and make friends. They are just fantastic people.
@Ani C hi I would definitely would like to learn more why not. After all, we all are humans and after watching this video, this surely open up positive Avenue to make friends and share cross culture with Jews. I personally think, we as a globe should learn about each other religion, culture and share good vibes with everyone irrespective of cast, religion, culture, skin color. We as civilized society should accept everyone with their values they own. This video is certainly an eye opener and I hope all of us as human race would come together as one world amen.
@@sfdiscovery There is no such thing as "religion" to be honest. In sanskrit the word Dharma translates to universal law. Linguistically the word "deen" in hebrew and arabic means "true judgement" and every human has the capacity to recognize God and truth. The Israelite tradition is a continuation of the noahide law and primordial faith of all peoples as revived by Abraham. Even the word "religion" comes from the latin re ligare meaning to reconnect. The indo european and semitic traditions are actually very similar when understood in their original languages and understanding both cultures is necessary to see the full picture.
I lived in Brooklyn from 2016-18. I'm a Puerto Rican non-religious Christian woman and found myself working at an Orthodox Jewish office in Boro Park and it was a major culture shock for me. Most of the women I worked with had never been around a gentile or an outsider and developing relationships with them was very difficult. A few months in I had pretty much assimilated and was accepted by everyone at my work. I've been to weddings and other gatherings, and to this day they are some of my absolute closest friends. I love this community and miss Boro Park dearly! I'm so happy I found this video.
@@kiddhkane the country we invaded? this is a free country to anyone who comes here legally. you wouldn’t say that about any other minority group. take your hate somewhere else thank you:)
Thank you for showing their culture! My boss is part of a Jewish family and we have Rabbi’s come to our company very often to ensure everything is Kosher during production of our popcorn but I haven’t ever asked my boss about her culture so it was really cool to learn about. I’m really glad he was open to speaking on camera and showing his world to us
i live in new york and work for coca cola as a truck driver , i deliver to boro park almost 10 years and i tell u these jews are very nice people , they don't bother no one just mean buisness,
Richard Poplis he def does work for liberty and I know exactly where the coke warehouse is. Up the street from the Snapple warehouse where I used to deliver out of
I lived in a hasidic area in Hollywood and except for the attire, the Hasids were just like everyone else. Ralph's supermarket was a real trip, youd have porn stars and rabbis shopping next to rock stars and migrant workers.
He's cool but it's under the understanding that Santello doesn't condemn, he doesn't that's his business. He still left open questions, he is not an investigative documentarian or muckraker, that's his man's word and his business in one. But it doesn't mean he doesn't ask questions like what about your forelocked police force and their religious strictures. He just ask "what about your Jewish taliban dude?" that's just rude based on the doc precept, there are other docs like that as mentioned in the video.
I’m Roman Catholic by birth. Retired military the Jews always treated me well and fed me and prayed for me. I would pay for my son and I for a guided tour like this in-depth. I love this, I’d like to show my son the Jewish people who treated me well. People say Jewish people are racist and hateful I have never seen it. All I see is respect, you respect they respect.
Man, when he said "Name a problem, and we have a Community Solution". It made me think damn, I wish all communities had it together like this. I always admired Jewish peoples devotion to group economics.
Just what if he said “Divorce” as the example problem. Look into the “community solution” for when a woman wants to divorce her husband. The whole community will turn against the woman, her life will be hell.
When I was a child, my parents moved to this part of Brooklyn. They had nothing. This community provided them shelter, food, childcare, and everything else is starting family needs for absolutely nothing in return. The charitable efforts of these people are unmatched by anybody in the world.
@Pure Blood My step-family is Jewish. I get 100 dollars from them for every birthday and Christmas. Why? Because we're simply friendly towards them and they enjoy us. They ask for nothing in return
@Pure Blood Just going to say they only provide that to their own. Actually the root of them being banished for centuries. Go into a community and gradually create a buisness monopoly. Sort of like the American stock market or television/movie industry in America
I’m a British Muslim and this was very interesting to watch. I didn’t watch Unorthodox on Netflix but I heard some reviews. I think it’s fair to say every family is different and a specific religion can’t be blamed for the actions of a few. This gentleman seemed very nice and polite. I also think it’s nice that they don’t try to convert people. It’s nice to educate others without the intention of wanting to covert someone. Great video!
@@missym5196 that’s your opinion and you are entitled to think that. I personally believe there is beauty in all religion. I pray for a world where we all live in peace. Stay safe ❤️
Why we don't need religious profanity ruling splitting humanity apart as it has for thousand of years, look we are human we need to understand and love one another not kill or hate because a book said so written by some ancient BS dictator
I live in NY, a county away from the city. Trust me, they're everywhere. Now, the negative rumors people spread I can not confirm if they're true. But I will tell you this, they are great people. Every single Hasidic person I know has treated me very well. They offer job positions and invite me over to get togethers to hang out etc. Basically in NY people have this ideology that they're working with our state government to screw us over. I really don't touch on that subject. I truly believe what I see. So far I've had no reason to hate them. Wonderful culture, lovely people.
@@filifriedman5619 I live in the area too. I have to say that overall it looks like you are able to live in peace without harassment. I can't imagine any other place on earth where people can live in such a community completely doing their own thing. Give any country and it wouldn't be better. I think it works because they are surrounded by people who are not as religious as the rest of the country. I can't imagine anything like this in towns around the bible belt of the US. "Liberals" are pretty good at letting people live as they want.
I'm 42 year old woman in lreland a met a Jewish people for the first time last year in Budapest, some were really nice and some were cold. But thats life ,thats happens in walks of community's !
As a Native American descendant it's a completely different how we moved forward vs how they moved forward. My grandmother was old enough to remember having to travel across the great divide with her mother and siblings to find a safe place to live. I do wish my ancestors would have been able to bounce back like this.
@@masterenos this isn't just an American issue though, we only seem to forget to teach in our school systems that French settled in Quebec on the lands of different tribes, cree, Algonquin, Mohican, Naskapis, etc keep in mind we keep forgetting there is a massive native culture in Canada that we never talk about. If you go on tik tok you'll see most of the most viral are from Alberta/BC. It wasn't just the United States that did the robbing.
I went there eleven years ago. I’d loved to have the opportunity you had to meet some of them and know about their way of life. I was just a spectator. Thank you for showing us the world without judging. I appreciate a lot your videos for that reason. Being as open minded as you are is the best way to see the world. Hugs from Madrid!
I'm an Italian Catholic from Queens, NY. I have worked with many many Jewish people and have Jewish friends. I love learning new things about the religion. It's a beautiful religion with beautiful people that I love.
I love how Shloime said the mezuzah is kind of like a spiritual security system. As someone who knows what it actually is I can't help but laugh how he simplified it for the audience haha. Good stuff!
U didn’t learn anything bruh lol Jeremiah 14:2 2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; THEY ARE BLACK unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. Revelation 2:9 9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 3:9 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
@@UA-camr-pj1kf Absolutely untrue. I grew up as a gentile amongst a very hasidic jewish community. It's not a "beneath" thing. And I don't say that as a moral thing, but as a group very steeped in what they are doing. They don't care if you don't do it, they truly believe that's up to their God to decide. They are just very distant because, as the guy said, they've tried the open choice thing and have been burned so many times. At some point, whether it's religion or something else, when people cross you SO many times, you just stop fucking with them
As an agnostic viewer, I discovered your approach on UA-cam and this community that I had no idea about. While I understand their choice to remain at a safe distance from the rest of the world, this community seems so warm, humane, loving and generous that I find it a shame that they don't share more of their vision and goodness with the rest of us. A fabulous, memorable and enlightening discovery. I loved it! Thanks to you for the video and to everyone who participated!
My neighbor hood for so many yrs...the Jewish people are very nice friendly and I feel safe in that neighbor hood where the Jewish community is..god bless them
I have been to this neighborhood and felt so unwelcome lots of racsist Jews ,I thought to myself wow they don't even know me it was shockingly disgusting and ignorant ,but I love Jewish people regardless.
Yes, occasionally fart, but mostly very sufficient and efficient towards everyday thing. Time passes by and the only thing is that they can create a lot of good solid things for each day.
I worked in Lakewood NJ for Hasidic Jewish people. I must say that the manager there was probably one of the most kind men I’ve ever met. I was baptized and fall under the category of Catholic. Not once in my three years had he ever questioned my faith. Extremely friendly and caring. I still think about him from time to time.
As a non-religious person this was extremely fascinating to me. I am just now diving into and learning more about Jewish culture. I had no idea that there were so many sects to Judaism. The videos this creator has put out on Jewish culture pulled me into wanting to know more. I’m so happy to learn about a culture and see what it’s all about. I personally do not know any Jewish people. At age 42 I’m finally becoming a much more open-minded person and I want to learn everything!
Always pursue your dreams. if that's what you want. go for it. regardless of what anyone else says. I'm sure you will achieve your goal. keep in mind one thing. converting to Jewdisam is one of the hardest religions to convert to. but there is a reason for it. PS: if it comes from your own self-will? then according to Jewish law. you will become holier than someone who was born Jewish wishing you the best .good luck.
If you want to learn about an amazing culture - read about the birth of "Western Christian Civilization". They did EVERYTHING. But, don't get your feelings hurt if you are NOT up to that high standard of excellence.
@@91dodgespiritrt you're discouraging her instead of encouraging her to pursue her dream. if there is a will? there is a way. people who are determined get it done. (its not easy) but still can be achieved. still wish her the best of luck.
There’s definitely a lot of sects. There’s an old Jewish saying we have: give 2 Jews and argument and you’ll get 4 opinions. I grew up for a spell in a similar environment. There’s definitely less pretty aspects of this dichotomy not talked about much in this, and honestly there’s a lot of fracturing between different sects of Jews. Ultimately that was the biggest piece that started me going away from the religious community altogether. There’s a lot of nice people, but a lot of that isolation and skepticism (which I 100% understand) can also breed contempt by some. Religious Jews outside metropolitan NYC are definitely more accepting of others than in Boro Park and especially Williamsburg.
Sat next to a hasidic jew on a flight from London to JFK....we talked the entire time amazing insight. He told me to always order the kosher inflight meal it's so much better...he was right never going back to regular
The first time I was in close contact with a Hasidic Jew was on a flight from London to JFK too! We were about the same age, both female and I could tell we were both curious about each other. I wish I’d had the confidence to strike a conversation with her, I’m sure we might have had more in common that it would appear on the outside.
@Sum Gai I worked for this Jewish guy who owned a kosher food market in the South and he would get these government contracts to sell kosher food to jails...he said one inmate ended up winning a huge lawsuit against the jail because the refused to provide kosher food for him lol he ended up with a lifetime canteen lmao because he was in for murder
it applies to every special meal, they take greater care of special meals. and you get them first. lol i always get kosher or halal or vegetarian, and i'm def not religious
@@ayylmao2190 since the context of the video was talking about orthodox Jews, I figured people were able to understand that is what I was commenting on.
This is very interesting I've been living in New York for 15 years and worked in Williamsburg area. Always wanted to know why every apartment and house have a balcony, hat (kippah). I had a nice very interesting conversation with one person from community. People didn't look friendly at time but i understood now and respect it
I am in love with his uncle , especially explaining how he makes pizza so every child can enjoy it . Warms my heart . There are GOOD people in this world:)
Thanks to Shloime for welcoming us into his community and teaching us of this lifestyle which seems so foreign. I truly respect and appreciate the sense of family and social responsibility that these communities uphold. I learned a lot and can't thank you enough for featuring this video series.
This is an education I never had about the Jewish people in NYC. I lived with and around them but never got go know about them closely as you featured them.
Hello! I’m a non-Jewish nurse who had the pleasure of working in the Hasidic communities of Monsey and Kiryas Joel, New York and I can tell you- the Hasidic Jewish people are beautiful and truly misunderstood! I was raised in a family who did not have a favorable view of Jewish people, and I am so glad I decided to find out how lovely these people are myself. I began to work with them in 2020 during Covid, and I brought my then 15 year old daughter to work with me and they welcomed us with open arms. The next few years I worked along side them I learned more about the culture, came to love the food, and even learned some Yiddish! (Baruch HaShem!) Fast forward to 2024, I moved to northwest Pennsylvania, but my now almost 20 year old daughter still works in Kiryas Joel while she goes to college in New York, and I can rest easy that my Jewish friends ensure she is well cared for. I urge anyone who doesn’t like the Hasidic people to get to know them a bit better- you won’t be disappointed! Baruch HaShem and L’Shanah Tovah for Rosh Hashanah my friends!
If you're in Brooklyn and need an ambulance call hasids ambulance. You'll save a few thousand dollars and they take you to whatever hospital you want. Plus they're professional.
This is no lie. I had COVID. I wasn't allowed to go the hospital. The Hasidic ambulance guys came over, brought oxygen, and checked on me twice a day. Wouldn't let us pay them. Meanwhile the idiot doctors were hiding behind phones and were too afraid to get sick to treat people.
I am not Jewish but have worked in the community for years,I have absolutely nothing negative to say about these fun loving family oriented people. Montreal has the best bagels on earth.
@NS WyattMan I'm well aware of the wars going on, that doesn't mean that all jews think like that. I have jew friends who loathe the situation going on.
What about the bacon and pork chops Darrell . Think of all the butchers put out of business because of these bacon and pork chop haters. Oh the humanity. Have a heart Darrell.
Your video is very enjoyable to watch because you are so respectful and kind towards the people you are interviewing. This is so interesting and I have learned a lot! Thank you❤
His mission owning the restaurant must be going really well because you could tell he made some really good pizza. You could tell it was hot and soft but also had a crispy crust which i could hear. Good stuff
There’s this super religious Jewish guy in my college, he’s super kind, and respectful towards everyone. Surprising he said that he does not surf the web unless it is necessarily needed for schoolwork. He said that newer generation of his community starts to embrace other cultures, in addition using the internet for news...etc. I went to his house once with friends for a project, his mom was a sweet lady. His mom told me that I have beautiful black hair, and I praised her hair too. She replied, “This isn’t the best. But if you would like to see, I have many more.” I never got what it meant until my friend told me his mom is bald.
I watched every part of this series twice. Amazing. I’m 49 and am from Alabama. I’ve been around and have seen a lot of things. This however, fascinated me. I have never known a Jew, but I am respectful of them. I think if I was Jewish, I would roll with these guys.
I did business with Hasidic Jews for many years. They are masters of internet selling to the general public. They are expert in snagging government bids. I have been in their houses, met their families. They are tough customers, but they always pay their bills. Peter as always is a great cultural ambassador and interlocutor. And yes, the food is really, really good.
I work in the automotive industry and I can tell you for 100% certain hasidic jews do not pay their bills on time. Maybe it's just me and my clients by I've got a lot and most of them are usually behind on payments almost always before pandemic and after.
I'm Polish, and I love the positivity in this video, the questions you ask, and Shloime's openness and candour. Whatever you think of this culture, it's telling that there is no homelessness in this part of the city, and it has the lowest drug use percentage. Shows the power of community. It would be amazing to see the Hasidic women's perspective too, with this same positive and honest tone. Well done!
How do we know it's the lowest drug/alcohol use? My Alanon group regularly sees quite a number of Orthodox relatives and parents of alcohol impaired/drug using relatives. The town next to where I live is Lakewood NJ, home to a huge Orthodox population. I was married to a Jewish man for over 22 years who owned a bar. The Orthodox may have problems that are kept within the community. I also worked in HIV counseling,testing, and referral.
No doubt, that is the Jews strength -- sticking to gether like industrial glue and being charitable - ONLY toward their own. We Gentiles could learn a great deal from them.
A community that looks out for their own. Minimizes isolation and loneliness. Someone always close by, willing to let you share your thoughts with them and give advice or supportive feedback. Basic & important connections so many lack in this age .
Thank you Peter for educating all of us that we are more alike than different. I am brought to tears in how you humanize the people you interview. You are on a mission of peace.
@quixxo we'll go and live in queens or bronx you'll know. The government lick rich peoples butt cause their pockets are lined. You think people are blind ? Be humble .
I actually live about 10 minutes from here. This video gave me a whole new perspective and some insight to my neighbors and why they do the things they do! We are hispanic, living in an orthodox neighborhood in Brooklyn and have never been made to feel out of place. They have always been very accepting, and very respectful to us! More folks could learn from them. They don't bother anyone, they mind there own business and keep to themselves☺
Bullshit!! Im from 18th ave and 60th street.. You mean nothing to them.. Unless they need a light off on a damn friday..

Tom Guistra Yea I felt this way too. It seems like the good treatment is selective. Ngl I've only had like 1-2 positive experiences soo I don't want to generalize but I hope that they'd be more open to others..
I worked in the area for a short time and was called a racial epithet by children on a school bus and talked about in a restaurant. Children learn those words from their parents. Similar situation in Williamsburg during the 5 Boro bike tour when groups of children insulted female bikers as they passed and their parents quietly stood by them.
@@Cinjo6 I believe you. I broke my arm at 18th ave park when I was 9 and they stared at me like I was cattle. 3 black guys (not meant in any way) at a bus stop got me through it. A young Italian boy at the time lol. So thats just making a point. I do not mean to sound Anti Semitic but I know them all to well. They are not a weak group of peaceful religious folk. They are more like a group that will successfully turn a place into their own community which is fine, what is not fine is that nobody else had a place in that community. Because in the end, they are the chosen people and you are simply a being...
I think we're all just now learning about it... Give him 6 months to a year, he'll be big once people start catching on. People love the fact that he allows them to tell their own stories and speak their own truths. And the fact of how respectful he is... THAT is what I love!
I just discovered your videos yesterday. The first was your peek into Amish life. Now I've seen your visit with Shloime's family, community and life. I really appreciate the respectful way you've conveyed what is a curiosity to many -- but you did it without treating these people and their lives as a curiosity. I've enjoyed this mini-jourey tremendously, and I have a better understanding of the world because of your work. Thank you!
It's a cult. It is interesting how his approach was completely different to the orthodox Jews of New York, Borough Park and LDS. Orthodox Jews are a classic cult, they forbid watching TV, using cell phones, force women to wear wigs, dress like aunts, and give birth to 10 children each. But he showed them as "normal, average New Yorkers". WTF
Thank you so much for educating vid. I’m very much interested in the lives of different cultures & this particular one is incredible. I love & very much respect these ppl. Good folk all around. The world would be so much better with ppl like this in charge.
Years ago, I was sketching in Palisades Interstate Park, & a Hasidic family pulled into the parking lot. The father, a rabbi, came & complemented me on my art work. Followed by his wife, eldest daughtet, 2nd, 3rd & 4th children, ALL introducing themselves, & complimenting me. Finally, the youngest sat down across from me & said she wished she could be an artist. I assured her if she wanted to be an artist, she'd surely succeed, since her family was very supportive. I realized that they all introduced themselves so I was now deemed a family friend & no longer a stranger. They went out of their way to let her talk to me. Lol.
I really do like that they have a bunch of community services that immediately respond and give support to people in need. So they don’t have to wait for a ambulance or a cop to show up before they start getting help.
I'm a Saudi Arabian Muslim. I watched the movie Urthodox and now i saw this video. It is really interesting to know more about a different culture. After all, we are all human beings. If i were born in that city i would've been jewish, and if he was born here in Saudi Arabia, he would've be a Muslim. This concept is why i believe people should be open minded and respectful to other religions
@Doge di Amalfi I do have an idea that there are christian people in our country. Chrisitan are allowed to be in saudi arabia but not in medina or mekka, which are the holy places for muslims, just like vatikan. Other than that, you can see christians everywhere in Saudi Arabia. In fact, our tribe were chrisitans before we got the message 1400 years ago. Trust me, muslims don't have an issue against any religion, as long as someone does not cross the line. About apostasy penalty, read more about when and why it happens. It is not just you convert from islam and you are dead LOL
Amazing video, I am jewish even though not orthodox , but this is very fascinating and super interesting to learn about. Never been to that area of NY and I would love to go someday. Congrats on a great video, and Shloime, super nice person and explained everything super easily .
As a Hasidic Jew myself i certainly appreciate when someone with a genuine interest in our culture comes to our community in order to shine a light on what others see as a mystery. We have our strengths and weaknesses, good and bad, rich and poor, and some challenges that are unique to our particular way of life. But at the end of the day we, like you, are just people. We need to get better at appreciating one another for what we are as people and not focus so much if someone is a democrat or republican, Christian or Jew, executive or street sweeper, what we wear or don't wear. I firmly believe that what's most interesting about you and me has nothing to do with what we wear or any of the above. If anyone has any questions i would be more than happy to try my best to answer.
@@mohawberel Most of our seniors speak either Hungerian, Russian, polish etc,. But the younger generation mostly speaks Yiddish or English. The food is something most families trace back to europe. I personally grew up on Hungarian food. There is also a fascination toward the "Old Home". Meaning the life our parents and grandparents left behind. Lots of stories are told and retold. A significant portion of our comunities have traveled to these old towns back "Home" to tour, explore and pray at the gravesites of rabies and renowned scholars dating back almost a millennia.
@@slandau100 Hi! It`s so good to come across such openness in your community. I have also seen the famous Netflix series and also read up on Deborah whose life the series was based upon. I believe that Deborah was harshly mistreated but I know very well that her case is an extreme, she grew up in the Satmar community, one of the strictest ones. Unfortunately her grandparents suffered the Holocaust too and that pretty much influenced their entire life. You on the other hand have more freedom if I may say? Since you have access to internet and I suppose you can read and watch whatever is decent? I always had a special place in my heart for Jewish people. I am actually Hungarian. What Hungarian food you grew up on if I may ask? Shalom!
@@veraszonyi we used to eat Letcho, Chicken paprikash, Rakott krumpli, Goulash and much more that won't come to me now... Her story is not typical to Satmar either. It's a very rare case.
What a fascinating episode! As a practicing muslim this is very interesting. We have quite a lot of religious similarities to orthodox jews. Can't wait for episodes 2 and 3. Would love to go visit one day myself. Your guide was especially nice, down to earth and said things as it is. 👍
@Vicki Soni the dietary laws are not different. Islam allows us to eat Kosher meat. I’m absolutely certain that all four schools of jurisprudence in islam allow this. If you have any questions about islam, I can answer them for you.
@Vicki Soni Ummmm... Jews do not consider Krishna, Jesus, Muhammad, etc. as "false prophets"...😂 I don't know WHAT you're talking about! These figures simply don't exist in Judaism. There is no opinion of them, since they don't exist in Jewish texts. Anywhere. At all. Period.
9:57 "This community has completly built on kindness" made me cry😭 Why other people are not like this community? They have no homeless people, they have their own security and emergency medical volunteers....just WOW, such a great community👍👍👍❤
The security younso proudly speak of has been proven to discriminate against blacks in their community. Dont believe everything you see on TV. We are all.lies.. period.
@Truth Teller Contrary to popular belief, many Jews aren't rich. In fact, many Orthodox and Hasidic Jews live very modest lifestyles, and some are even below the poverty line.
I love the respectful curiosity of this presenter. People tend to fear what they don't understand, so we need more insightful content creators like this guy. Respect.
I work in Wmsburg and yes I see a Mom with lots of kiddies all the time. I like how down to earth Shlomie is about introducing his community and belief to all of us. I want to try that sweet pizza, I didn't know.
Very well done! You portrayed our community beautifully. I currently live in this community, although I grew up in upstate NY, which has a large Hassidic community as well. I'm available to answer questions posted here. I really want people to understand our culture, why we live differently, and why we keep to ourselves.
I LIVE THERE! So, excited lol! And I’m MUSLIM! The HASIDIC JEWISH people are very nice! I love going to their restaurants and bakery. They always get happy to see me. Love their bread (challah) and pizza.
Thank you for sharing! Also, you are incredibly beautiful!

Do you eat Kosher meat? I'm aware that is permissible for Muslims to eat meat from a Kosher butcher but I don't really know much about it.
All men sin and fall short of the glory of God. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, rose again on the third day and was the final sacrifice for the sins of all men. He was fully man and fully God. He was a Jew born of the tribe of Judah. He fulfilled the scriptures written about the Messiah by the prophets. There is no way into Heaven except by Jesus, He is the truth, the life and the only way. May the Lord bless all who read this, in Jesus name Amen.
Shlome is a perfect ambassador. Everything about how he handled this was perfect.

Wach unorthodox. Documentary on Netflix see what you really think
@@Adrian_Baez Unorthodox isn't a documentary. It's a semi-fictional scripted show based on the memoir of a woman who escaped the Satmar community.

I am a born again Christian. I went to the Jewish center near me for counseling and they were so warm and welcoming to me and put me in the group counseling and didn't even charge me. Jewish people are good people.
Maybe that was a sign

It's safe because of Their unity, they all look out for eachother, however at the same time they manipulate control dominate and divide Us, so it's easier for them to rule over us.
Shloime's narrative is excellent- not only is he relatable, he breaks everything down in a way anyone can understand, and humanizes a society that has been shrouded in mystery. I would love to live there.
No you wouldn't.
You definitely would not. It's a hyper religious community with an extremely strict way of life. If you're woman your only job is to have babies and take care of your husband and home.

Jews and Muslims should be alike. We are cousins and have more in common than any of the other world's religions.
We're cousins! Peace from the USA :)

A salaam alaikum and shalom aleichem, brother. From a Jew to a Muslim: we are cousins. I have much respect for your people. 🤝🏽
I was a child Russian immigrant with my family to the States in the early 90s. My step dad was Jewish (he is dead now so past tense) ...The Jewish community was very warm and helpful to us and I went to their school and started learning the language until I was transferred. Deeply spiritual people that I respect.

As a New Yorker, I grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. My family is Muslim and they were plenty of other Muslims in the area. We all lived in peace. No one disturbed anyone. The orthodox Jews do not talk to anyone but their own kind and we respected that. I believe we all come from the same Abrahamic religions and we have never passed any judgments on them. Jewish folks are very polite folks!
Jews and Muslims have a ton of similarities where we don’t drink alcohol, date & marriage, not eat pork, ham, eat kosher/halal, etc. (Of course not exactly the same, but more similar than different.) I believe if we respect everyone and their religion there will never be conflict. The point is that we need to respect each other’s beliefs and leave judgment to God. Overall, this video was informative as it dives into the depth of their religion and culture. It was very interesting and I enjoyed it.
Here’s to wishing we could all be in peace around the world. Peace and love to all. Thanks for sharing!
So true
@Vicki Soni Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. Of course the religions are not entirely the same when it comes to practice and the holy books. I had mentioned that they’re plenty of similarities. From my research and understanding of both religions, the Jews believe in One God "Allah", the Creator of everything with no partner, nothing is like unto Him and He is invisible to all creatures. As do the Muslims. I did not know that the word “Allah” is considered a curse term in the Torah. I am hearing this for the first time and not sure where that is stated in the Torah. I will look this up. The main thing is that Islam and Judaism worship one God only called Allah in Arabic and Elohim in Hebrew and it is the same.
Muslims and Jews share beliefs in certain Prophets. Jews believe that Moses is the greatest of all Prophets who was sent to mankind. Muslims also believe in Moses, who is in fact the Prophet most mentioned in the Quran. Muslims and Jews also believe in Abraham, Noah, David, Solomon, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.
Nevertheless, in religious practice are very similar because they share this common descent from Abraham. Islam and Judaism are resolutely monotheistic faiths. Allah is the same Creator, Sustainer, and Provider that Jews and Christians worship.
I can go on and on about some other similarities: Jews only eat kosher and Muslims only eat halal. There are many similarities between kosher and halal, not drinking alcohol, not eating pork and both religions encourage modesty and require that women cover their hair.
If you dig deep into the bible, torah, quran, buddhism, hinduism etc. You will come to find that all is one.The differences come from different times, different cultures, different revelation types, different languages.
At the end of the day, there is only one God and he is God for all of us. So, let’s talk more of our similarities rather than differences. This is the reason for so much conflict in the world. I don’t wish to discuss this any further as I am not here to argue. Good luck to you!
@Vicki Soni why do skip over all the similarities and just focus on the differences?
@Vicki Soni ok so your whole issue is with the comparison of Islam/Christianity with Judaism. alrighty
@Vicki Soni are you spreading your venom here as well? Oh my god!! No one is saying islam is part of Judaism! Far from it. We are saying there are similarities. Why can’t you get that through your fat head??
This was so interesting. I’ve never seen a documentary of Jewish people sharing their day to day activities and talking about their culture. I learned many new things. Shloime did an excellent job.
I see them everyday
coz no normal person really gives a shit
@@theworldischanging968 Then why did you watch it?
@@theworldischanging968 so in your mind, being brain dead is a requirement of being normal? Different cultures are variations on a theme. In this case the theme of being human. Intelligent people are interested in how things that are similar are also different. So they're interested in cultures.
@Jackie Hillson Yes but you get to wear ridiculous big furry hats even in the stifling heat of summer in New York. Winning
This is what proper journalism looks like. We need more journalists like Peter. He literally gives you a tiny snippet of there lifestyle and it completely shifts people's perspective on them. The sensationalist media loves to hold onto this terrible narrative of them searching for every isolated incident that can make them look bad. I've been to Vegas many times at CES convention with Hassidim and they we're the nicest people to deal with. They provided free meals, lavish meals. They have so many community organizations for sick people, for grieving people, for infertility treatment subsidies, food drives, paramedic and patrol volunteers, you name a communal need and they have a service for it. Charity is a major value of the ultra orthodox community and is actually a law in Judaism to give at least 10% of income to charity.
Indepedant media is the future.
This is why I watch UA-cam all day and don’t own a tv 📺 love stuff like this
How is this journalism ? It not only presents one view without ever challenging , the guy presenting it is part of the group the subject is about.
That is like talking about democrats and their problems and talking only to the dnc chair
Liron BERISHA true this is closer to propaganda.
They exploit Black Indigenous people and stole our identity and that headdress he is wearing mimics Black Indigenous culture.
I'm just seeing this today, January 8, 2023. I am very far from Hassidic but I am a Jew. I LOVE what you are showing here. I've always known Hasidic Jews are great people with a great community. Continue your great work showing the community properly. Shlome is terrific showing off the community and his family. And you Peter, are so open and receptive - beautiful thing you are doing.

I need to say thank you for what I think is the most open, unbiased, honest look into Hassidic Jewish culture that I have ever seen.
As a woman who grew up in a massive family of Vizhnitz Hasidic Jews, I learned at a young age to stay away from most media pertaining to my culture and religion, I clicked on this video expecting misinformation and demonization, and I was so incredibly surprised by the genuine learning and sharing of information.
I'm Modern Orthodox now, I spent a large part of my young adulthood exploring and learning about religion; I've never been good at doing something simply because I've been told to, and the open honesty and actual teaching that was going on in this little documentary was an absolutely beautiful thing to see.
Thank you for this lovely video 🌼
You expected misinformation and demonisation. That's ironic.
Sarah N
While it's refreshing not to see the hostility. I would not say it's unbiased. Shloimy is a decent guy and he is being somewhat honest but at the same time he's also leaving out a lot of the negative and presenting everything in a very positive way for the most part. The Channel is buying into it. But there are many problems in the hasidic world. Discrimination against women mostly by limiting what they can do and achieve . Though there are some that manage to achieve quite a lot for that world such as judge ruchie. He also was not honest about converting or proselytizing (though in fairness he was interrupted) as they may not target not Jews but lool how much Chabad and other groups target secular Jews? Also the hostile attitude to non Jew may be partially a response to protect themselves from antisemitism but it's much deeper than that. Racism for example runs very deep in this world and in general going to yeshiva as an inpressionable child I was exposed to constant comments about how things are so bad in the goyish world and how we are so much better (today we see one scandal after another, one covered up child abuse incident after another so its BS anyway). Stil shloimy does seem like a great guy and I respect what he does also in the Middle East. (Some would argue he got the blessing for Pizza wrong. ) And I like what Peter is doing also but he does seem a bit naive.
Shloime is an excellent interlocutor for the Hasidic community. He does such an amazing job of explaining and illustrating Hasidic life, with its whys and whats. Really amazing.

@@mariahewitt9787 No doubt. Cults like this are the reason that they were forced by moral societies to refrain from their barbaric religious practices.
Judaism is the only ethno-religion! In that, its the only religion that requires you to be genetically Jewish, and have Jewish lineage/blood. And also practicing Judaism.
All Jews who can prove their blood bloodline are allowed "return to Israel and granted Israeli citizenship if they so choose. This is because despite where they were born or live, Jews only have loyalty to one nation- Israel!

We as civilized society should accept everyone with their values they own. This video is certainly an eye opener and I hope all of us as human race would come together as one world amen.
@@sfdiscovery There is no such thing as "religion" to be honest. In sanskrit the word Dharma translates to universal law. Linguistically the word "deen" in hebrew and arabic means "true judgement" and every human has the capacity to recognize God and truth.
The Israelite tradition is a continuation of the noahide law and primordial faith of all peoples as revived by Abraham. Even the word "religion" comes from the latin re ligare meaning to reconnect.
The indo european and semitic traditions are actually very similar when understood in their original languages and understanding both cultures is necessary to see the full picture.
I lived in Brooklyn from 2016-18. I'm a Puerto Rican non-religious Christian woman and found myself working at an Orthodox Jewish office in Boro Park and it was a major culture shock for me.

A few months in I had pretty much assimilated and was accepted by everyone at my work. I've been to weddings and other gatherings, and to this day they are some of my absolute closest friends.

He still left open questions, he is not an investigative documentarian or muckraker, that's his man's word and his business in one. But it doesn't mean he doesn't ask questions like what about your forelocked police force and their religious strictures. He just ask "what about your Jewish taliban dude?" that's just rude based on the doc precept, there are other docs like that as mentioned in the video.

Oh cool. Will they give me $8,000 if I go there?
@Pure Blood bingo
@Pure Blood My step-family is Jewish. I get 100 dollars from them for every birthday and Christmas. Why? Because we're simply friendly towards them and they enjoy us. They ask for nothing in return
@Pure Blood It's always convenient when haters forget that the reason Jewish people got banking jobs is because NO ONE ELSE wanted to do them.
@Pure Blood Just going to say they only provide that to their own. Actually the root of them being banished for centuries. Go into a community and gradually create a buisness monopoly. Sort of like the American stock market or television/movie industry in America
This is incredibly interesting to me. Thank you for always taking a deeper dive into these communities.
I’m a British Muslim and this was very interesting to watch. I didn’t watch Unorthodox on Netflix but I heard some reviews. I think it’s fair to say every family is different and a specific religion can’t be blamed for the actions of a few. This gentleman seemed very nice and polite. I also think it’s nice that they don’t try to convert people. It’s nice to educate others without the intention of wanting to covert someone. Great video!

I live in NY, a county away from the city. Trust me, they're everywhere. Now, the negative rumors people spread I can not confirm if they're true. But I will tell you this, they are great people. Every single Hasidic person I know has treated me very well. They offer job positions and invite me over to get togethers to hang out etc. Basically in NY people have this ideology that they're working with our state government to screw us over. I really don't touch on that subject. I truly believe what I see. So far I've had no reason to hate them. Wonderful culture, lovely people.

I can't imagine any other place on earth where people can live in such a community completely doing their own thing. Give any country and it wouldn't be better. I think it works because they are surrounded by people who are not as religious as the rest of the country. I can't imagine anything like this in towns around the bible belt of the US.

My grandmother was old enough to remember having to travel across the great divide with her mother and siblings to find a safe place to live.

It has not helped by how often and long the American Gov. screwed over the Native American communities.

I agree.
Yes, occasionally fart, but mostly very sufficient and efficient towards everyday thing. Time passes by and the only thing is that they can create a lot of good solid things for each day.
I worked in Lakewood NJ for Hasidic Jewish people. I must say that the manager there was probably one of the most kind men I’ve ever met. I was baptized and fall under the category of Catholic. Not once in my three years had he ever questioned my faith. Extremely friendly and caring. I still think about him from time to time.
I just took a walk through that community just the other night. it was really cool. This was a cool video Peter.
As a non-religious person this was extremely fascinating to me. I am just now diving into and learning more about Jewish culture. I had no idea that there were so many sects to Judaism. The videos this creator has put out on Jewish culture pulled me into wanting to know more. I’m so happy to learn about a culture and see what it’s all about. I personally do not know any Jewish people. At age 42 I’m finally becoming a much more open-minded person and I want to learn everything!
Always pursue your dreams. if that's what you want. go for it. regardless of what anyone else says. I'm sure you will achieve your goal.
keep in mind one thing. converting to Jewdisam is one of the hardest religions to convert to. but there is a reason for it. PS: if it comes from your own self-will? then according to Jewish law. you will become holier than someone who was born Jewish

There’s definitely a lot of sects. There’s an old Jewish saying we have: give 2 Jews and argument and you’ll get 4 opinions. I grew up for a spell in a similar environment. There’s definitely less pretty aspects of this dichotomy not talked about much in this, and honestly there’s a lot of fracturing between different sects of Jews. Ultimately that was the biggest piece that started me going away from the religious community altogether.
There’s a lot of nice people, but a lot of that isolation and skepticism (which I 100% understand) can also breed contempt by some. Religious Jews outside metropolitan NYC are definitely more accepting of others than in Boro Park and especially Williamsburg.
Sat next to a hasidic jew on a flight from London to JFK....we talked the entire time amazing insight. He told me to always order the kosher inflight meal it's so much better...he was right never going back to regular
lol nice pro tip
The first time I was in close contact with a Hasidic Jew was on a flight from London to JFK too! We were about the same age, both female and I could tell we were both curious about each other. I wish I’d had the confidence to strike a conversation with her, I’m sure we might have had more in common that it would appear on the outside.
@Sum Gai I worked for this Jewish guy who owned a kosher food market in the South and he would get these government contracts to sell kosher food to jails...he said one inmate ended up winning a huge lawsuit against the jail because the refused to provide kosher food for him lol he ended up with a lifetime canteen lmao because he was in for murder
it applies to every special meal, they take greater care of special meals. and you get them first. lol
i always get kosher or halal or vegetarian, and i'm def not religious
This guy's a legend, I love seeing people stop him in the street, "Love your articles" lol.
Yeah that was terrific. I think it was my imagination but he seemed to be stand offish or a bit nervous until he heard what they said. Amazing story.

Not all of Israel is solely Hasidic
Hello! I’m a non-Jewish nurse who had the pleasure of working in the Hasidic communities of Monsey and Kiryas Joel, New York and I can tell you- the Hasidic Jewish people are beautiful and truly misunderstood! I was raised in a family who did not have a favorable view of Jewish people, and I am so glad I decided to find out how lovely these people are myself. I began to work with them in 2020 during Covid, and I brought my then 15 year old daughter to work with me and they welcomed us with open arms. The next few years I worked along side them I learned more about the culture, came to love the food, and even learned some Yiddish! (Baruch HaShem!) Fast forward to 2024, I moved to northwest Pennsylvania, but my now almost 20 year old daughter still works in Kiryas Joel while she goes to college in New York, and I can rest easy that my Jewish friends ensure she is well cared for. I urge anyone who doesn’t like the Hasidic people to get to know them a bit better- you won’t be disappointed!

There’s this super religious Jewish guy in my college, he’s super kind, and respectful towards everyone. Surprising he said that he does not surf the web unless it is necessarily needed for schoolwork. He said that newer generation of his community starts to embrace other cultures, in addition using the internet for news...etc. I went to his house once with friends for a project, his mom was a sweet lady. His mom told me that I have beautiful black hair, and I praised her hair too. She replied, “This isn’t the best. But if you would like to see, I have many more.” I never got what it meant until my friend told me his mom is bald.

I felt the same!
I did business with Hasidic Jews for many years. They are masters of internet selling to the general public. They are expert in snagging government bids. I have been in their houses, met their families. They are tough customers, but they always pay their bills. Peter as always is a great cultural ambassador and interlocutor. And yes, the food is really, really good.

I'm Polish, and I love the positivity in this video, the questions you ask, and Shloime's openness and candour. Whatever you think of this culture, it's telling that there is no homelessness in this part of the city, and it has the lowest drug use percentage. Shows the power of community. It would be amazing to see the Hasidic women's perspective too, with this same positive and honest tone. Well done!

But he showed them as "normal, average New Yorkers". WTF

Followed by his wife, eldest daughtet, 2nd, 3rd & 4th children, ALL introducing themselves, & complimenting me. Finally, the youngest sat down across from me & said she wished she could be an artist. I assured her if she wanted to be an artist, she'd surely succeed, since her family was very supportive. I realized that they all introduced themselves so I was now deemed a family friend & no longer a stranger. They went out of their way to let her talk to me. Lol.

We have our strengths and weaknesses, good and bad, rich and poor, and some challenges that are unique to our particular way of life. But at the end of the day we, like you, are just people.

What a fascinating episode! As a practicing muslim this is very interesting. We have quite a lot of religious similarities to orthodox jews. Can't wait for episodes 2 and 3. Would love to go visit one day myself. Your guide was especially nice, down to earth and said things as it is. 👍
@Vicki Soni we believe in the same deity as Jews do. The Lord of Musa (Moses), upon him be peace.
@Vicki Soni the dietary laws are not different. Islam allows us to eat Kosher meat. I’m absolutely certain that all four schools of jurisprudence in islam allow this. If you have any questions about islam, I can answer them for you.
@Vicki Soni Vicki please stop! literally everything you mentioned is similar between jews and muslims.
@Vicki Soni did you just say Krishna? we are Muslims not Hindus lol
@Vicki Soni Ummmm... Jews do not consider Krishna, Jesus, Muhammad, etc. as "false prophets"...😂
I don't know WHAT you're talking about!
These figures simply don't exist in Judaism. There is no opinion of them, since they don't exist in Jewish texts. Anywhere. At all. Period.
I’m Albanian ! I love this video I’m so in to different cultures!!
He is so respectful and kind .
hello from the usa!
Ku je loqka. A je mire. You have instagram?
9:57 "This community has completly built on kindness" made me cry😭 Why other people are not like this community? They have no homeless people, they have their own security and emergency medical volunteers....just WOW, such a great community👍👍👍❤
Bcuz it’s a lie...
@@BigQnow How do you know it's a lie?
The security younso proudly speak of has been proven to discriminate against blacks in their community. Dont believe everything you see on TV. We are all.lies.. period.
@Truth Teller Contrary to popular belief, many Jews aren't rich. In fact, many Orthodox and Hasidic Jews live very modest lifestyles, and some are even below the poverty line.
It’s not true . My hub is Jewish, progressive. Hasidic Jewish men are not respectful of women, LGBT .
I love the respectful curiosity of this presenter. People tend to fear what they don't understand, so we need more insightful content creators like this guy. Respect.
That pizza owner seemed like a genuinely good guy.
exactly, seemed
"delectable delicious" made my mouth water
He sure did. That pizza looked to die for too.
I work in Wmsburg and yes I see a Mom with lots of kiddies all the time. I like how down to earth Shlomie is about introducing his community and belief to all of us. I want to try that sweet pizza, I didn't know.
Very well done! You portrayed our community beautifully. I currently live in this community, although I grew up in upstate NY, which has a large Hassidic community as well. I'm available to answer questions posted here. I really want people to understand our culture, why we live differently, and why we keep to ourselves.
Great to hear! Thank you GF :)
I keep watching all your Hasidic episodes, and I still crave more.
