I HAD A SLEEPOVER WITH A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR

- When Hersh, an elderly Holocaust survivor in Rostov, Russia, invited me to stay at his home, I knew I couldn’t say no. Although spending the night in his apartment took me far out of my comfort zone, it also taught me one do the most important lessons I’ve ever learned. I hope this experience inspires you as much as it inspired me.

So much humanity from this Rabbi that takes care of lonely elderly people. A true gift to humanity.
Thank you so much for featuring our Hersh and sharing his legacy with the world! His memory will live on. ♥️♥️♥️
May god bless you for taking care of the lonely
Amazing Divine inspiration to invite him to the Minian... wow...
As a Christian, our communities have had their ups and downs with each other. There's a long complex history to unpack there. But this I know that your Bible makes up more than half of ours. Your prophets are our prophets. Your G-d is our G-d. With time our beliefs have become quite different, but we both affrim the Promise made to Abraham. It is through Abraham's faith that blessings have been brought to many people the world over. Those who bless Israel will be blessed, those who curse it will be cursed. My heart breaks for what is happening to His people and the Land He promised them. How can I be praying for you, your loved ones, and for Israel?
Shalom blessed Rabbi hi from a jew in New Zealand. My mum is a jew and was born in the United States and that Side of family were from Belarus , Russia , Ukraine , Latvia etc and I think most or many came to US in early 20th century (maybe 1900s) and My dad is a kiwi and is anglo Saxon (a lot of Scottish , some Irish , British ,welsh , Danish etc) I am not a jew in religion though. Thank you Rabbi For all you do. To bring joy to people is an incredibly good thing and shows who you are as a person and that of course comes from strong faith and judaism. Maybe one day I will meet you in Russia!!
@@ryantannar5301I pray for Israel, IDF, hostages every night at 7pm Houston times by reading Psalms ## 13, 20, 30, 79, 83, 91, 100, 121, 130, 142, 144.
I just can't get over this video. The connectivity is palpable.
Shloime, as a child of Soviet Jewish immigrants to the US, I can’t begin to explain how much joy you brought to him during your stay. Definitely a tear jerker. May Hersh’s memory be for a blessing and his neshama have an aliyah ❤️😢
What you did was amazing. You gave company to the lonely. Bless you.
HERSH will live on forever. Not just on the internet.
May his name and his memory always be a blessing!!!
Your opening comment reminded me of a quote from Winston Churchill: *"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."*
My grandmother was just like him all the way up until her passing. She would constantly check on the people around her to make sure they had everything they need and she never let anyone do anything for themselves. She really lived to take care of others. I believe it's what kept her going. I think when you get older and have to rely more on others it's easy to feel as though you aren't needed or you don't have value. I think that's why so many elderly people insist on doing everything they can for others. It gives them a sense of purpose. I think that along with excitement is what was going on here. She would come into whatever room I was in every 10 minutes to ask if I was hungry or if I needed anything. She was such a lovely person. This man reminds me a lot of her.
What a precious Grandfather ! It's wonderful that you men have appreciated him and given him a reason to live. Hearing your greeting to him brought tears to my eyes. May Yah bless you 🤍
Thank you kindly
He is very much needed. I’m goyim and struggling and didn’t know I needed to see this until I just did. Thank you. May HaShem bless you all always.
What a gracious beautiful generous man. You were really blessed. And you allowed him to do a mitvah for you, right? Your videos are a wonderful gift to the universe. Thank you.
Is it ok if I cried watching the video? It is so heart warming seeing such an old man holding this much history in his heart and memories.... what a wonderful video
This Rebbi is full of energy.
You betcha!
This was amazing. What a special man he is. I must say Shloime that you were my introduction to the Jewish world through Peter's videos and i have been fascinated ever since. The things I have learned already have changed my view of myself and this world forever and I am not even Jewish. The best part is that there is still SO much more to learn. Baruch Hashem for choosing your people, he made the right choice. To all the Jewish people, Have a blessed Shabbat 🙌 ❤
This made me cry so hard to see that there is still such love and compassion in the world, blessings on you Shloime for your generous heart.
The language barrier would be like if I am Hispanic and went to Mexico. I don't speak fluent in Spanish and I barely understand what's being said. I catch a few words. It's very frustrating. I feel for you Sholime 😮
Very touching video, to say the least. I am a Christian who loves your people and pray for them and the peace of Jerusalem. I remember you on this Tisha B'Av and am sorry for all the evil things that have befallen your people on this day.
I appreciate your great spirit and all you do . You are a very good and inspiring man. Rabbi Danzinger is also a great man and very inspiring.
Shalom....

You are a Christian and you praise the Synagogue of Satan whom is genociding you?
Thank you . What a blessed man you are Shloime. This rabbi gives me hope for mankind.
Thank You Beverly! Yes. Rabbi Danzinger is an amazing man.
I speak Russian and understood everything. You did such a kind thing by keeping him company. It is sad that he is not with us anymore. BDE.
I had an idea that you could use google translate on your phone with voice recognition. I tried it in Russian and it works pretty well.
Seeing these men singing and dancing... It brought me to tears. So beautiful. Thanks Shloime.
I was in tears too
Blessings for sharing a night with a survivor.. May God bless is passing to be painless and joyous.. Amen
It's always a blessed day when Shloime uploads a new video. This one had so many touching images. The scene in the shul where the boy was helping Hersh lay tefillin was expecially poignant to me. I couldn't stop crying when the video ended. Thank you, Shloime, for following through and spending the night with Hersh and for sharing with us.
Wow, thank you
Thank you very much for sharing this! May peace be with you and may your friend rest in peace as well.
may G-d keep Shloime safe
Amen! Thanks! You too!
I'm agnostic but I have Jewish roots that I only learned after doing a DNA test. You make me want to explore those roots a bit. Keep doing the Lord's work my man!
Jews for Judaism
Thank you so much for this touching story and many greetings and blessings.💙🙏❤️
Thanks for this. May we all learn from your Gemilut Hasadim - not easy to leave our comfort zone but the happiness you gave him was clear.
Shloime, thank you for this. When elders are increasingly marginalized, you stepped up to show respect and bring joy. I held back tears until I watched the young man help Hersch put on tefillin (hope I got that right) what a blessing you are! May we all, whether Jewish or not, take this an example and spread the love and joy of God to all He brings our way.
Oh, Shloime. I have such tears, I am so touched. Thank you all for loving this treasure of a gentleman 🤍🕊️💙
Blessings to you dear shloime for doing this for him! He was so happy. ❤. You really blessed him by being there with him.
BDE Hirsch RIP
Shloimi - Hazak yBaruch for this video, one of the best on your channel so far!
Chabad is an awesome movement since it was home away from home for myself when I attended law school In Michigan coming from NYC.
Knowing Russian and watching this video is truly touching and seeing how amazingly caring and welcoming Hirsch was and his happiness was priceless.
Shabbat Shalom!
This was an exquisite experience. Incredible story and incredible story telling. Thank you brother.
I ama muslim from Ukraine, and this story made me cry, thanks Shloime, may Allah bless you
Assalamualikum, It is beautiful video ..Muslims and Jews actually have much in common
Shloime, this was very nice of you great memories ever lasting impact on humanity. Awesome video great job.
Wow that's amazing, after watching all that it hurts to hear that he passed away
Yes it does what a beautiful soul
This was so beautiful, gave me new perspective and hope. Thank you so much for sharing!
Shlomie you're a wonderful and a kind person, I've been watching your content for a long time, thanks for all the good videos and the good deeds you do to make pepole happy and inspire them may hashem bless you in everything you do
Baruch Hashem! I am so sorry to hear that Hersh passed away - Baruch Dayan Emes and I sincerely hope that his neshama is elevated to the Shaarei Shomayim and he should serve of an example of how we need to treat each other always. Am Yisrael Chai. Iy"H we'll all be united when Moshiach comes Bimheira V'yameinu!
I can only imagine the hospitality he was trying to share with you. His ONLY visitor besides Rabbi.., maybe you will make this a thing again.., and maybe translator as this MADE HIS DAY..., both FATHER G-D and Hymans day ..., As well YOU MADE MY DAY
Thank you Shalomie
Shloime what you did is amazing, keep it up
Appreciate it
Thank you, Shloime. Great work. I am so proud of my fellow Texan. This video is amazing. We must never forget the past. Good must rule over evil. You have taken us along on an incredible journey. May God bless you and your family. Hersh outlived the evil of the Holocaust. Rest in peace.
Such a sweet, loving man. So proud of his home and so eager to share what little he has.🇨🇦
This video should have 5 Million hits! I ache for you to be my real cousin, as my Lerner relatives/survivors emigrated to Brooklyn, then felt that they had to hide their Jewish Identity in Long Island to Survive Society. I wish more Antisemitic Christians understood how the Jewish Identity has been Oppressed, Repressed and Suppressed three generations past the Holocaust! Thank God for Outreach Judaism and Jews For Judaism and Shloime Zionce keeping the Light on and the Warmth going. No Jew, even a Patrilineal, should be denied their Jewish Identity for the sake of Surviving Society and "fitting in" in America. GOD BLESS YOU. Your daughter is so lucky to have you.
Shloime, as always, you spread love and inspiration with every message in every video you share. This video was especially moving and left me with a warm feeling of gratitude to just be alive and for the bountiful blessings I have. Thank you, Shloime!
I appreciate that
Shloime, this was quite a surreal watch. I used to work as a bank greeter in an area that had more retired people and once this lady came to me and we got talking about her life and whatnot. She showed me her arm with a tattoo that she got in aushwitz and i will never forget that day
This is such a heart warming video of truly grateful man; despite what he has gone through in his life. The Rabbi was really instrumental in getting the best of this man. Using his God talents and the Holocaust survivors were both shining for each other and the world to see. I still wish I could have met you in Akron,Ohio last month. Shabbat shalom. Thank you for the video.
Amazing work you all are doing for our older generation. Bless you all for your love and care you have for them.
what a beautiful video!
You are so kind
Next level keep it up Shlomie
This is beautiful ❤! The Rabbi is an Angel 😇 on earth! A real man of God! Sending love from a Catholic lady! God bless!
I am very glad that I witnessed this meeting. Hersh was an amazing person and a wonderful member of the community. Thank you, Shlomo, for such a memory!
one of my favorite episodes
shloime you are a national treasure keep up the great work i look forward to your videos it brings a happiness an warmth see the good work your doing made hersh days
I live this old man! He was so cute! ❤. RIP to him and bless him! ❤
I love this so much!! I can’t even describe how much! You brought so much joy to this lovely man! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!!
Thank you Shloime. God bless you! I just wanted to hug Hersh.....so much love and kindness.
💪🏼💪🏼
Man, that was intense. Ppl in my camp were seeing the poster pop up on Instagram and told me to check it out.
Such a raw and real experience. I wish I was there to translate some of the things he was telling you, he’s such a great guy. I didn’t get to properly say goodbye to him before he passed away.. May Hershel’s Neshama have an Aliyah.
(When Sergei the driver guy pulled up, all peace was restored to the world loll he’s my man)
Thanks Mendel! I hope you’ll be there for the next one. 😃
These videos are a light in a dark world. We love Shloime!
This is amazing. It was such a precious moment for Hersh. You made his life brighter.
Thank you for inspiring all of us!
He's so happy.
I am surprised that Hersh doesn't also speak Yiddish my grandparents who came from that area spoke mainly Yiddish & Russian was only used when they didn't want us to understand
He was 5 years old when the war broke
There are not too many Holocaust survivors left. I was fortunate in university back in the 1980s to do a course project where I interviewed survivors. There was a Jewish nursing home and a vibrant Jewish community in my neighborhood. I learned so much from these people who went through horrific years early in life who then spent the rest of their life doing great things. They had education, careers, families and friends to fill their life with. I learned a lot from that project. It also gave me a new perspective on anti-Semitism, in that it should never be tolerated.
The Red Cross makes the number 285 000, not 6 million.
My goodness, this was just beautiful! The joy you gave Hersh just by making him feel cared for and valued was so awesome. You could see it in his face, the way his eyes lit up when he spoke to you. It didn't matter that you both spoke different languages. Love is felt more than spoken and that's what i just watched - love. Absolutely beautiful. May the joy you gave Hersh find you tenfold. Bless you, Shloime. And RIP Hersh.
I love this So much! ❤ Thank You. As a housewife from western washington, this is all new and a learning experience to me. I don't think I've ever met anyone from the Jewish faith. I absolutely love learning this and sharing your beautiful heart!
It was cute and funny when he put the light out, leaving the room in the dark but kept talkin on, without either of them able to see where they were going or see each other for a second . Lol
i'm a Canadian that really loves learning through people's eyes. you are amazing! I suggest a translator for a future trip.
Literally no words. Shloime you’re amazing! ברכה והצלחה!
Aww thanks
Wow what an amazing video and kind hearted person u are you,keep it up ❤
Beautiful and will show the children today for school. I homeschool and like to show videos to teach history, science, and humanity ❤ they will watch this today, and thank you for helping me to find a shul in South Carolina 🎉
Update - the children learned a lot and enjoyed the video. Taking care of the elderly, allowing them to still feel needed, giving them a purpose, and to learn what we can from them. They volunteer a lot with the elderly, but I am grateful that he showed them how Abraham was a great host, as we should be when we have guests. I've told and showed them many times over the years, but them seeing an elderly disabled man make his bed, I believe, has truly demonstrated how we are to be there for our guests. Thank you ❤
This video made me cry.
So heart warming ❤it’s so true what you said about making them feel needed . I visit holocaust survivors and I have the same feelings towards them . They deserve it all after what they been through 😢
Keep up your good work .
This is amazing how you inspire other people to do Chesed .
Thank you for your kind and heartfelt words
@@ShloimeZionce my pleasure 😇
I wish you would have used Google Translate with him! You could have had a real conversation.
I thought the same thing. But then, when you're in the midst of some thing you don't think of it necessarily and perhaps the app wasn't available yet.🤷🏻♀️
I love Sholime. He's a gem 💎 I found through Peter Santenellos channel. Great depiction of the Jews most of us Gentiles don't understand their culture. Too bad Christianity embraced paganism ie:Christmas and Easter 😢
Such a sweet guy! And what an amazing video!
You are so kind
I would be delighted to have a grandfather like Hirsh at home, he has a lovely soul! let's never forget
This is so beautiful and that Rabbi is very inspiring
What a beautiful example of ministering!
I can't thank you enough for allowing Peter Santinello into your world because it brought Hashem into my life. Thank you for all that you do. ❤️
This is so precious. G’d bless you.
Such a Mitzvah to give love to Hirsch! You can tell he feels it in his heart.
Wow🥺 that means he was waiting for you before passing away.🥺❤️
What a beautiful video, Thank you!
Great videos Shloime! from Germany ❤
Wow you speacial shloime may god give you all the happiness in the world
SHLOIME ,, HE IS SO NICE ,, LET HIM DO IT AND SMILE ,,LET HIM MAKE THE BED.. SO HARD FOR YOU , YOUR KIND.. HE IS LONELY...HASHEM BLESS HIM,, PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR YOUR SIDE OF HEAD AND CLOSE YOUR EYES..SO GREAT THAT YOUNG GUY CAME BY TO HELP HIM AND DOWN THE STAIRS..HE NEED HELP CARETAKER..HASHEM BLESS HIM,,..
Wow beautiful video slomiy you have a a wonderful heart
He's very proud of the toilet lol. In his defense though, his bathroom is very clean for an old man.
My G-D bless you for your sacrifice
Fascinating
I love Meaningful Minute!
Incredible. I was saddened to see in the end that he had passed. May he be at peace. How long was it after you left did he pass?
We need a interview with the rabbi how did he get to this place in life this congregation and the trials and learning it had brought him
I agree I want to know more about this Rabbi
He's a shulchim from the Lubavitche Rebbe. The Chabad Lubavitche Rebbe felt there should be Jews in every county that the there are still Jewish populations in. The families go to China, Uraguay, Russia, Brazil, Japan, Africa, etc. Look up the *Shluchim of Chabad.* they start Jewish community centers, they have Synogogues, they offer travel help to Jews all over the world. They make sure that there is Kosher food, prayer books, Synogogues, etc. In all these foreign locales.
