  • Hasidic grocery stores go hardcore for Passover. They sell a whole assortment of unusual items, from ten bread crumbs, to salt water, to unbelievably bitter horseradish. They also stop selling bread, rice, beans, corn for eight days! It's a grocery store full of tradition and meaning, and on this tour, I show you around for some of it.
    Many thanks to Landau's Grocery Store in Boro Park for the hospitality during the busy Passover season.

    Growing up a gentile in New Jersey, I learned to appreciate Jewish kosher for Passover treats. The reason? I had to follow a gluten free diet. Way back when, those products were often tastier than early commercial gluten free items found in a health food store. Of course, nowadays the manufacturers have learned a few tricks. But I still "raid" the kosher section this time of year.

      Here is Christ's question
      Mathew 15: 3: "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?"
      Malachi 2: 1-4: "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts."
      A women say "the Husband has no name". Another ones say "the Husband has many names". Some of women "love the Husband in all his manifestations" like: neighbour, taxi driver, coworker...
      But, all of those prostitutes say "the Husband is the only".
      Then they even talk about "trinity of the Husband" and they are not against "the Son taking the Husband's place".
      In the same way religious prostitutes try to hide their disgusting fornication with different gods.
      Furthermore, a correct pronunciation of the Name is unknown now.
      Here is the God's word spoken through Moses,
      Deuteronomy 11: 16-17: "Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you."
      So, the God says there are other gods, but blind leaders of blind lead people into trap.
      "Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for.
      "HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah).
      Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."
      The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers feel so good while righteous people are persecuted.
      That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom.
      Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)

    As I listen further, please allow me to share one thought.
    So that people don’t stress too much about Passover and the subject of removing Chametz from your personal domain (your residence). The most important aspect of this removal is the tradition that we have for Hillel, meaning the proper sale of your personal chametz over Passover to a non-Jew. That sale can be arranged easily even before you start thinking about any aspect of cleaning. You are 100% covered and the stress aspect is gone. Go through the motions of your cleaning and putting away, but with no worries or arguments that you are keeping Passover completely!
    Serve G-d with joy!
    Happy Passover!!!

      Ocd can be expressed in any area of life by those who suffer from it. Including religion. Spending endless hours repeating the words of the prayers, excessive (ritual) hand washing etc. Most ppl out there don't have this mental illness though. Yet they'll have to clean their property thoroughly for pesach whether they like it or not.

    • @FriedaVizelBrooklyn
      @FriedaVizelBrooklyn  23 дні тому +8

      @@carolalm0823 There are some vegetarians and vegans but I think not many. We have a strong tradition of eating meats on special occasions (it used to be very hard to come by and very rare, so it was a very important part of festivities) and it might be considered a way of honoring, let's say, shabbes, to eat fish and other animals. But still, there are SOME vegetarians, although I think it's rare. I used to be a vegetarian and I was shopping once and a Hasidic man suggested a meat product to me. I told him I don't eat meat and he got quite upset, saying that Hitler was a vegetarian but his empathy to animals meant nothing because of how he treated humans. That stayed with me.

      That's one explanation. Kitniyot (legumes, rice ) are not eaten because of the visual resemblance of rice flour, cornstarch and others to wheat flour and the fear of confusing them. Among the Sefardim there are different customs concerning what they do or do not eat on Passover, some eat rice, others do not. Some eat fresh legumes but not dried legumes. Passover can be summed up as a time when everyone is looking to be more stringent about being careful not to eat chometz, each community according to their respective minhagim (religious customs) and traditions handed down thru the generations. Hope you had a kosher and happy Pesach.

    A question I have whenever I see more modern products/inventions being used (like your example of using a ton of aluminum foil to cover a kitchen, but I've also seen a kitchen be kashered with a blow torch and electric backlights be used to sort grains), is what did people do before those products/inventions existed? What did they cover their homes with, how did they sort their grain, and how did they kasher their kitchens?

    • @FriedaVizelBrooklyn
      @FriedaVizelBrooklyn  23 дні тому +2

      Such a great question. I would assume that with the invention of things like silver foil, people have become more stringent and added on precautions that weren’t there before. I know for a fact that you could prepare counters for Passover by Kashering, which was a process involving boiling water and a brick (I’ve also seen the blow torch process, a new import I think). I do think on the whole the advent of new technologies has brought new degrees of extreme precaution. Would love to hear from anyone who can further answer this question.

      Since the zeroa is to commemorate the korban pesach we go out of our way to make it clear it's not the actual one. That's why we put a bone and not meat. Others - like chabad - will use a chicken neck AND remove most of the meat for that reason.

    Greetings from Illinois. Thank you for a fascinating look into Passover foods and traditions. Wherever I travel (in the US or abroad), I try to stop in a local grocery store and see what is unique to that place. I learn so much from browsing the shelves and a little bit of people watching! Praying for a peaceful Passover for you and all those dear to you.

      @FriedaVizelBrooklyn we had a major holiday on Thursday and my daughter got engaged. We had a big potluck and it was a wonderful day. Ascension Day is a beautiful day that is joyful, but also sad because it was the end of the story with our leader who we love and he left us here on the Earth. He told us if we loved one another and keep the commandments, we'll be sustained by the Spirit of the Lord until the end. It is a message of great hope, in particular in these frightening times.
      My eldest announced her engagement at a potluck we had.
      I had to extract a prenuptial for my daughter because the one she will wed is from a more strict group. She's 20 and I don't want her to quit school unless she wants to, just because the boy is Amish. But promises were made and I think it will be alright. Good news is, she's staying close by and will live a similar life. Our church is small and she's liked this boy for years, so it is good. If she married our church, she would probably have to go to Canada.
      Her fiance is a kind young amish man, he is nice to animals and treats his mother with great care and respect. He also respects me, and more importantly my daughter.

      You probably wouldn't know what the issues are just by looking at the ingredients. There are various lists online and of course there is the blumenkrantz book shown in the video. He follows the strictest standards. Your local orthodox rabbi might be more lenient when it comes to products that in their current form are no longer edible to a dog. The more stringent opinion maintains that if after reversing the process the original chometz ingredient could become edible again it's forbidden to have any pleasure from even in it's current inedible state.
