Shattered Expectations: Author's Experience Living in Ultra-Orthodox Jerusalem Neighborhood
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 тра 2024
- JERUSALEM, Israel - Author Tuvia Tenenbom’s new book, Careful, Beauties Ahead! My Year with the Ultra-Orthodox, is the story of life in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel. Tuvia and his wife Isi lived in the religious Jerusalem neighborhood of Mea Shearim for a year, and what they found surprised them.
Tuvia is the son and grandson of ultra-Orthodox rabbis but he left that community as a young man.
He and his wife were warned by colleagues in the media and in literature that the people in those religious communities today are aggressive and even violent, and Tuvia and his wife would not be welcome because they are not religious.

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.
When did this meeting happen ? How did you meet him ? I am going soon with a group. How can we find him ?
Did you perhaps mean Rabbi Moshe Peled association manager, director and head of the Shorashim Center and Shirat Jerusalem Seminary?
@@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.
@@user-gd3ln4dj1c thanks. Which month year did it happen ?
@@davedaves3489 It was in March 2019
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!
Awesome. I had a feeling they were great people to live alongside. Bless you for doing this.
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.
You have made me very happy. Thank you for telling your story. ✡️🇮🇱🇮🇱
What a wonderful Kiddush HaShem - well done! Chazak Ve'ematz!
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
Sounds so interesting, thank you for this video
Nice to hear someone go into a place with open eyes. People will surprise you!
Beautiful story ❤
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
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 👀
Amazing big fan of tuvia
What a refreshing interview! A Kiddush Hashem! ❤❤❤
Amazing.
You smile ... I smile. 😊🙏💜🌍🕊
I love tovia and iv read two of his books, a really fun read
Somebody give the mana chair
Tuvia: Remember our dinner at Joya = Jerusalem?
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.
So it sounds like they were a bit in awe of his lineage.
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.
@@Chez_Jusolae lol gotta be 'on their terms' though....imagine any group of people saying 'we'll be respectful to you only if you conform to our terms' - so sad
@@PC-bd3uh sounds like the progressives. If you embrace my perversions and march as my ally we're all good. If you refuse we will label you phobic & try to vilify & undermine you in society. 🇨🇦
@@PC-bd3uhreal
@@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. That would be healthy boundaries. If someone is interested in learning more about my personal life, they would need to be respectful of it in a manner that respects and conforms to the values of my life. If not, that's fine. I can treat them respectfully without having them in my life that closely.
This guy sounds and looks like Sergeant Schultz

Peter griffin?!
'if you pay me good' - lol
Mea shearim quarter is like to go back in time for 100 years.
I LOVE their accent!!!
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.
It must be different in NYC
Why?
So they’re welcoming only if you speak Yiddish?
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.
Everyone is more welcoming if you can speak the same language, yes?
Change Yiddish to Flemish. Does that make it better?
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.
@@davedaves3489 Fault-finding is unbecoming on you. I think the observation is helpful. Just because you might be "highly educated" doesn't mean others can't benefit from a comment beneath your mighty intellect and knowledge.
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
Interestingly enough the residents of Mea Shearim are non-Zionist. Some like the Naturei Karta are anti-Zionist
They came to you for shabbat diner? Really?
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.
How were you dressed ? Almost naked probably as a summer tourist. Thats disrespectful in that community. Women were more likely to have helped you.
Read the above comments in this section.... can u blame them for not wanting to open communication? The entire world looking for ways to blame them...unfortunately
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
Without lies, islam dies.
Ooh, a little bit of intolerance breaks the veil of reasonableness

Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins, Jhn 8: 24 "Jesus speaking" Please Repent and Believe!

To be fair he was probably treated like that because his ancestors.
To be even more fair, he was probably treated like that because they're kind people.
@@annonimiss6422 my wife’s family are Orthodox Jews, I was not allowed into a synagogue because I was not Jewish. Do you consider that “kind” ?
@@annonimiss6422 They disowned family members if they decide to follow Jesus. Do you consider that “kind” ?
@@toviaskryptonitelll976 Why would you want to go to a synagogue? Your wife threw it all away for you?
@@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.
@@stephenfisher3721the Old Testament is about living under the law. Jesus came so that we may be saved through Him.
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
@@AnoJanJan
Yes, but what about all the people who lived before Jesus. Are they now burning in Hell?
@@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!
