I met one of the Rabbis, Moshe Peleg. He invited us (a group of christian women), made us tea and coffee and showed us around his charity for underprivileged youngsters from the Haredi community. He was nice, great sense of humor and very insightful about the old testament. I’d love to meet him again.
@@davedaves3489 I don’t know how to meet him. It was a chance encounter. It was not on the itinerary. My tour guide from the Netherlands had him over as a guest in her house once, and she accidentally spotted him walking down Ben Yehuda street.
The most powerful experience is receiving the Sabath on the Friday eve. If you are staying with an obsreving familiy, or even better within Jerusalem, the transition to Shabat can almost be tasted in the air. Everything changes, the sounds, music in the home, gathering of family, everything is cleaned, food is cooked. No work is allowed during the Sabath so your mind is released from the mundain, to contemplate the spiritual.
I also found that the Jews of Mea Shearim are the cream of the crop. Even though I do not know Yiddish they are warm friendly helpful modest understanding generous. I worked especially with young mothers. They are very loving and devoted. They help each other and sincerely enjoy every child as if it's the first even if it's number fourteen!
I have no doubt that the Ultra Orthodox Communities would be hospitable to a Fellow Jew who also speaks Yiddish and who's Grandparents share history. I do however wonder precisely how welcoming they would be to anyone else.
I didn’t read catch the Jew but I read lies that everybody tell and the one in the video and both are profound in writing and storytelling, funny and overall great reads’
The Catholic Church isn't doing inquisitions anymore either the lutherans have put away their desires to immolate the chosen also. The second temple was destroyed, thus things changed 👀
They were happy that he came to them respectfully and engaged respectfully. Yes, there was likely awe at his lineage, but more that he may be swayed back to the path and it is a talking point special to him. If they talk up the grandfathers then he may be drawn to follow in their ways. Not a simple because you come from these people we will give you respect. Any Jew who comes to them respectfully, on their terms respectfully, will be welcomed.

@@PC-bd3uh Um..no. This isn't just respect, this is inviting this person into their homes and lives. I treat many people respectfully that I would not welcome into my home and family events.

ive read both... i think this one was a better read... especialy since i live in jerusalem and so close to them... its amazing what he did in this book
The Ultra Orthodox neighbourhoods are such unusual places. I was travelling in Israel in the 1990's and it was the unfriendliest community. I was lost, they wouldnt help me. I needed nothing but direction, i got nothing...no help. Just foul looks from angry looking men. So sad.
Do you think this had everything to do with your being female? That's what I believe. You mention "angry looking men." They are taught from puberty onwards that they must not look at or talk to women or girls. And they are simply frightened of having to do so, and thereby breaking some rule of purity. I believe that what you saw was fear, not anger. I too have been on that side (your side) of ultra-orthodox men. Of course I could be wrong, but think it worth mentioning. Your comment is interesting and sad.

The belief is that earlier generations, being closer to revelation, are of greater holiness and closer to the wisdom G-d bestowed. Similarly, the remnant of holiness in Tuvia's Yiddish is from the sanctity of his great-grandfather. The Yiddish speaking world was devastated. That's the basis of connection: speaking to you is a recreation or restoration of when our great-grandfathers spoke.
@@chatisawasteoftime it was a historic synagogue in London. I don’t need to go to a synagogue that teaches that dead people could intercede for you. You probably follow that pagan practice as well
What about Jesus the Messiah 🤔...of course they behave nice, bc you omitted Jesus Christ 🤔🤔🤔...dude ⚠️⚠️⚠️❓️❓️❓️what ultra orthodox ⚠️⚠️⚠️,without Jesus Christ you are dead.
Jesus lived as a human and died only about 2000 years ago, which is very recent in the long years that humans have lived. That means that most humans who ever lived died without any possibility of being saved by Jesus.
Interesting that you as a Christian are watching a video about a Jew in Jerusalem and talking about the joy of Christianity and the death that results from it with it without it? as you listen to Jews for wisdom and Truth... Rabbi Tovia Singer explains it all
@@stephenfisher3721 Au contraire! Many "pre-modern" (BC) saints looked forward with expectation and hope for the coming of the Messiah. Those who put their faith in Him for their redemption are saved!

Did you perhaps mean Rabbi Moshe Peled association manager, director and head of the Shorashim Center and Shirat Jerusalem Seminary?

You have made me very happy. Thank you for telling your story. ✡️🇮🇱🇮🇱
Awesome. I had a feeling they were great people to live alongside. Bless you for doing this.

What a wonderful Kiddush HaShem - well done! Chazak Ve'ematz!

Sounds so interesting, thank you for this video
Nice to hear someone go into a place with open eyes. People will surprise you!
What a lovely man. I look forward to reading his book.
i think its his best book so far! even better then catch the jew!
I didn’t read catch the Jew but I read lies that everybody tell and the one in the video and both are profound in writing and storytelling, funny and overall great reads’
He is a great writer . Fun and yet tons of info
I'd love to do this and live and learn from the Jews we are all united Under God. ❤God bless you all today
Go and watch One for Israel. Rabbinical Judaism is not second temple Judaism

Beautiful story ❤
What a refreshing interview! A Kiddush Hashem! ❤❤❤
Amazing.
Amazing big fan of tuvia
You smile ... I smile. 😊🙏💜🌍🕊
I love tovia and iv read two of his books, a really fun read
This guy sounds and looks like Sergeant Schultz

So it sounds like they were a bit in awe of his lineage.

Tuvia: Remember our dinner at Joya = Jerusalem?
Interestingly enough the residents of Mea Shearim are non-Zionist. Some like the Naturei Karta are anti-Zionist
Mea shearim quarter is like to go back in time for 100 years.
Without lies, islam dies.
Ooh, a little bit of intolerance breaks the veil of reasonableness
Peter griffin?!
But... but...but... my Columbia Professor told me they're eviI colonist occupiers!
Lol, the ADL doesn't say that, I wonder why?
Aren‘t many Ultraorthodox Jews anti-Zionist? I saw some protesting alongside Palestinians.
the neighborhood he is talking about is Anti-Zionist
I LOVE their accent!!!
I have a question. With ultra-Orthodox Jews What's With The Hats? I'm just curious.
It is a custom, an expression of reverence for God and submission to God.
The Shtreimel is a fur hat worn by Hasidic man usually after they are married and it is a custom and is beautiful to wear especially in sabbath
You cover your head as an acknowledgement that God is above. The big hats are just custom.
I love his books, read the Catch the Jew! Funny eh
YES
ive read both... i think this one was a better read... especialy since i live in jerusalem and so close to them... its amazing what he did in this book
so his expectations were not 'shattered' at all, or perhaps they were because he intended to pen a negative book
He went without an agenda. He’s a proper journalist.

How were you dressed ? Almost naked probably as a summer tourist. Thats disrespectful in that community. Women were more likely to have helped you.

Maybe they didn't understand you
They are the nicest people in the world and they live a pure life; maybe not as nice as people in Gaza, though
That is his prospective which might be true and there is the other prospective of others which is also true.
Do you perhaps mean "perspective"? Look it up.
"Perspective". Your comment also suggests a LOW level of education since it is self-evident.

They came to you for shabbat diner? Really?
It must be different in NYC
Why?
So they’re welcoming only if you speak Yiddish?

Similarly, the remnant of holiness in Tuvia's Yiddish is from the sanctity of his great-grandfather. The Yiddish speaking world was devastated.

Everyone is more welcoming if you can speak the same language, yes?
Change Yiddish to Flemish. Does that make it better?
