“Jake Aronow died from complications of Tuberculosis” it’s always tuberculosis!
John Green want to know your location
though better than dysentery, meaning, the shits.... a most undignified way to go.
@@fnansjy456He already knows. We met on this trip.
@@SamAronow - Epic Crossover!
@@SamAronowyou are adorable! Remind me of my little cousins! I just want to bake you something! After giving you a sweater...ahem😏...🤗😇
* casually drops a fact about LAPD nearly killing his family, refuses to elaborate *
Love your stuff about Jewish history, but family history like this makes it more relatable. Looking forward to future episodes.
"They decided not to have summer here this year." - Hometown vibes be like:
I'm amazed that your family were Horsemen too - My Family raced at Arlington (RIP) and Hawthorne Park, coming from Mexico and Poland.
My grandfather was also a milkman in the city.
No matter what it's been through, no matter what it's people have been through, Chicago remains an amazing city.
My great grandfather was a Puerto Rican immigrant and he ran a record shop around there! Great video
Cool, thanks for sharing your family history with us.
Nice video Sam! Whats the lore behind the green and black jersey?
Oh wow!!! another thing we both have in common besides our wit and good looks!! I always knew I had an affinity for your style of presentation, it's so clear to me now that you're a Chicagoan!
Thanks for taking time out of your very important baseball game to make this excellent video, Sam 😃
thank you for this! I am Jewish and live in this neighborhood and have always been curious about the old buildings with hebrew and stars of david as part of the architecture.
Awesome video! My great grandparents were jews from romania/hungary who came to america in the early 1900s and they settled in the north lawndale neighborhood in chicago.
Great video as always. Sick jersey though.
Do you have any relation to the dude in Aronow v. United States?
6:40 I imagine there would have been less cars and more horse poop in the streets. Probably more people walking as well.
Now go to Shaker Heights so no one thinks you are descended from Shakers and i can relive my childhood. 😊
Israil videos when? :P
9:01 What!?
They were right, you are the Israeli equivalent of JJ McCullough.
Can I take you on a date when you come back to Israel? If you are gay of course 😊
Alright! I've been waiting for this episode! Also, really looking forward to the episode on the Nazi hunting assassin uncle someday.
It's always interesting to see people talking about their ancestors. As a Brazilian, many people in my country, including myself, know nothing or very little about their ancestry, which it's kind of sad.
"But it is actually like 13 degrees"
~Sam Aronow, an American who used Celsius. Now I have seen it all!
Probably more common in the military from what I’ve heard.
We’ve learned since that Mars river fiasco that it’s pretty good for working with other countries, except aircraft altitude for some reason, doubt they’ll ever metricate that
He’s an Israeli now.
@@jacobschwartz6579 I'm pretty sure he has dual citizenship, but he does live there as far as I know.
@@DiamondKingStudios the international standard for most naval and sky related shit is imperial still. I think it's partially tradition, and partially because some things are just better non-metric
@@mcfarofinha134 or maybe because we Americans, having the largest naval fleets and being the inventors and primary pioneers of aviation, have just been able to arbitrarily maintain our own measurements as paramount.
So I guess everyone else on the sea and in the air just has to suffer from the lack of metric lol
There were some great casual teases of gnarly family stories at 8:16 and 9:01.
And the part about problems with the accuracy of shooting historical movies/series in even seemingly well-preserved neighborhoods triggers one of my obsessions - why isn't animation commonly used for serious, realistic historical stories?!
Because the success of the first few animated feature films in the US set a precedent that animation was a medium for children. Walt Disney basically took a backseat from filmmaking after becoming disillusioned with the failure of _Fantasia_ for exactly this reason. And nowadays traditional animation is strictly seen as anti-populist foreign/arthouse cinema.
Video games, on the other hand...
Sir, you're either time warping as you are very prodigious, albo te same zainteresowania mamy, stary. So in the spirit of this channel, lechitraot.
@@leszekwolkowski9856 Yeah, I'm starting to think I have a bit of a problem with youtube addiction. Podobne zainteresowania pewnie też mają na to wpływ. 😉
BTW thanks to your comment I just learned a new Hebrew word. Lehitraot!
Have you ever watched “Waltz with Bashir?” It is a beautifully animated Israeli film about the experiences of IDF soldiers recollecting their time in the Lebanon war and possible involvement in the Sabra Shetila massacre. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
@@peterdagata1610 I saw it in film school, no less.
"...LAPD tried to kill them all" You sure know how to drop a cliffhanger. DAMN!
5:22 Sorry to be 'that guy,' but Puerto Ricans aren't immigrants; they're US citizens. Puerto Rico is a US Commonwealth that has been teetering on becoming a state for quite some time now.
Also I happen to be half Puerto Rican with family on the island and in Humboldt Park 😎
Representing Humbodlt Park! That is so cool that your family and mine grew up in the same neighborhood. Also, strong Dylan Cease vibes going on.
Your great Uncle was Nazi hunting assassin? I wanna know that story.
Theodore Herzl was a Doctor in Law ! It was as a title, not a physician... 7:38
Yeah, but lawyers in English are referred to as "Esquire," not "Doctor."
@SamAronow
Doctor in Law is not lawyer
Doctor is a Title when you make a Thesis...
@@SamAronow Germans will meticulously call everyone with a doctorate Herr/Frau Doktor, so that probably got translated as such a bunch of times.
I was born and raised in Humboldt park on division and Spaulding the church we went to use to be this beautiful old Jewish synagogue 'Ateres Zion' which started my devotion interest and love towards halacha. Ever since I've been going to an orthodox synagogue on Devon ave. Where they've tought me about the noachim
Sam, I greatly admire your work, it’s infused with humor, humanity, and righteousness. Much love from a fellow history and map lover in L.A. who is “not too Jewish“ as I once flubbed out when substitute teaching at a local Jewish school.
Somebody was a bootlegger 😂
Are the Aranows buried in Chicago?
Wearing a sox hat in a cubs neighbourhood was a bold choice, Sam.
My Grandparents owned a jewish bakery in Skokie. My Great Grandparents ran a tailor shop and clothing company, not sure where that was though.
I thought your family was from Cleveland.
Hey, Sam. Thank you for this video - such a treasure, hope everyone had known family history as well as you do. And pretty awesome to see Ukrainian flag at the building @ 8:05 )
Hey, I haven't heard from you in a while? Are you doing alright up there?
@@SamAronow I’m fine, thanks. Still hoping to grab a beer in Israel after the war )
So cool to see your family history in Chicago. I love hearing my parents' stories about family roots in Chicago. Well outside the borders of Chicagoland, so many people have family histories tracing back to the city.
4:13 “The horse thing goes way back.”
I actually have a question about this! Way back in earlier episodes you mentioned that the Aronows are descendants of the Pareshim. How do you actually know that? Like how can you trace your heritage back that far? Is it like linguistic stuff with your name? Is it something else?
Oh, that was just a joke for History House Productions. But for my family the horse thing _does_ go back at least to the 1790s.
@@SamAronow Oh I see! To be honest, that makes far more sense, haha! Tracing your family history as far back as the 1790s is awesome!
Love your work! Can’t wait for your First World War videos!
Grew up in Roger's Park/Evanston area, near Skokie. Loved growing up in the Jewish community there. I now live in Los Angeles.
This channel gets better and better .
Theodore Herzl was a law student. The continental European lawyers were awarded Juris Doctorates and generally considered it fine for lawyers to call themselves doctors while English speakers did not.
Those were really big houses. Were they single family homes or divided up into flats/apartments?
Most of them were apartments. The smaller ones were single-family homes, but keep in mind we're talking about extended immigrant families.
Theodor Herzl, the jewish Dr. J
Is your video on jewish denomination comming along, is it nearly done? Can't wait to see it. Love your videos. Id like to see a another Jewish history on the plate .Great video .
It's beautiful neighborhood.
American cities would be so much better if they had more of these instead of suburbs.
Umm. Can we talk about the stache? 🔥 🔥
Forget Elvis... Freddie Mercury came back!
(Sorry... But that mustache really makes you look like Freddie Mercury...)
Nice shirt!
My brother out here lookin like Bill the Butcher
Be sure to visit the old Jewish section of the Oak Woods Cemetery, on the side adjacent to 71st St. It's sadly fallen into disrepair, but there's a ton of interesting history there.
I noticed that you pronounce your name Aronow more like Arono, without the "v" sound at the end. Do you have a family story about that? Am I right that originally it was pronounced more like Aronov?
“North street” 😬 hits the ear like nails on a chalkboard. It’s North Avenue, bro.
F yeah White Sox!
You're pulling of that look brother!
I barely recognized you.
mr aronow i had listen you work and i do think its brilliant thanks you. (however consider perhaps a style image consultant when appering on screen)
Cool jersey btw
Love the hat. keep up the good work.
Watching from Logan Square. Such a gift!
Thanks!
Sam, I know you have long past this period in your series, and I know the Holocaust and the foundation of the state of Israel are fast approaching, and surely time consuming topics.
Still, I would love for you to make a video on Moses. His historiocity is much-debated, and while his depiction in Exodus is certainly legendary, it would be interesting to see your take on it. Josephus preserves for us some Ptolemaic accounts of Moses, as the figure Osarseph, later expanded on in “Joseph and his brothers” by Thomas Mann (admittedly, a work of fiction). Freud suggested that Moses was Akhenaten. Many scholars place his life around the same time as Akhenaten, a few generations before or after, depending. Could he have been a priest of Akhenaten that fled to Egypt? And this was later combined with the historical memory of the Hyksos? I don’t know. You’re so much more well-versed in this stuff, and there is a dearth of information on this topic that is accessible to the general public that is not somehow religiously motivated. Please consider, and I wish you the best.
טוב מאוד סאם
Jewish Chicagoans unite!!!
Hi Sam, did you live in Chicago or were you already born in LA?
Neither.
@@SamAronow Where were born and lived in the United States?
Pasadena
@@SamAronowIt's very interesting to learn how different immigrant communities and their descendants established their home in the new country - USA. Thanks for sharing your family history!
Pasadena is close enough to LA for most people. I live in Orange County, but to anyone outside California, “basically LA”.
The White Sox hat and mustache is giving Dylan Cease vibes (Jewish pitcher on the White Sox)
Cease is Jewish?
Are you hinting at mob connections here? The relationship to horses goes way back (gambling?), the family was hurt when Prohibition ended, then went to LA and had trouble with the cops there. I know that the Chicago mob, while mainly Italian, had Jewish members too, and was expanding into Hollywood at this time.
The Schenker/Chernick/Wasserman side in Cleveland were the ones with the mafia connections, not the Aronows. The horse thing has nothing to do with racing. And the LAPD was planning to wipe out _all_ of Los Angeles' Jews, not my family specifically.
@@SamAronow : I noticed that it was the Schenkers that were hurt by the end of Prohibition, which put me on the alert for other signs. I've never heard of this plan by the LAPD, so I look forward to learning about it from you.
ah i see you dont live in chicago anymore
Great video, nice Sox hat!
Very much looking forward to seeing more on the road. Your videos give so much good context that it makes it easy to pick a thing and learn more about it. I appreciate that.
❤
I remember the ads for that movie!
I did enjoy it!! Thank you!
Dude we look a like
Awesome family history, I appreciate it, I learned in yeshiva in Chicago (foster & drake) for ten years, I am big Chicago Bears fans just unfortunately there offensive woes will continue , I will be following you 🏈
Sam, I promise you this is a compliment, but if I didn’t know better I’d assume you were like 20. You’ve aged like water.
I wish it could be that cold in Texas right now, it has been 105 to 115 (40.5C to 46.2C) this entire month with no wind an 50 to 80% humidity.
Sam, please create a video about the jews in the kingdom of Navarre, the basque region, and if or how they were influencial in st. James pilgrimage, and if crypto Jews were the "first christians" or the early christian before roman Catholicism.
Sam, when you said, "the horse thing goes way back, 4:13" was that a reference to parashim, a hereditary calvary status that you mentioned in earlier videos?
I know this is besides the main point of the video, but public transportation wasn't failing because big car companies bought them out and thats why we its doomed to either be socialised or die. Not only private metros and trains exist, they are extremely profitable.
Private mass transit got killed of due to the US constant intervention from the Federan and state governments, calling every big transit company under the sun anti-trust, building the interstate highway, and then slowly prioritizing cars everywhere over dense walkable mixed used neighborhoods.
Chedder did a piece on the LA red and yellow line dismissing exactly this myth.
"Why LA Destroyed Its World-Class Transit System - Cheddar Explains" if anyone is interested.
Killer ‘stashe dude
