the more videos you put out about the Hasidic people, the more I'm realizing they might be some of the nicest, caring people out there. In America at least
When my son was in the hospital for emergency surgery a similar jewish organization brought a magician who did tricks for him in his room. Really changed his mood for sure. They also left left toys for him )and his siblings). And they brought a handmade blanket with a little note that introduced the high schooler who made it. Years later the toys are broken or he grew out of them, but the memory of that magician stayed strong. Oh and the blanket is now too small for him but it's in his bed every night.
I'm Jewish not orthodox but when my dad passed from cancer I called the Orthodox Chevra Kaddisha to come collect my father. They came so quickly and were so dignified. They asked for nothing but I gave them a nice donation.
I had no idea of what the Hasidic Jewish community looked like until you released these videos. Thank you for showing the world these amazing people. I now have a huge respect for these people and an understanding I would have not have known without these videos. Thank you.
Just wait for when these kids learn that they can't go to sporting games, movies, or watch the best sitcoms ever made (even by jews like Seinfeld) or have to cut their hair and go bald.... its not a very good lifestyle
@@brandonlewis5135 The value of any lifestyle is determined by those who live it and not the opinion of those living outside of it. Yes, there are many restrictions in place. But those restrictions are what makes their lifestyle unique and special. Those same restrictions also have advantages that those who do not follow their faith cannot envision or understand. The strong family and communal bonds I see are priceless.

So many of us can take a lesson from what these folks are doing. They are doing all this for fun & for free expecting nothing in return. Thank you for sharing this experience with me.
As a survivor on my own I can say that this kind of Jewish organizations saved my life by keeping me happy and giving me the strength to go on! and bt"w there are many many more and different Jewish organizations to keep u going on during each step of the struggle
OMG! I'm crying....... I'm ultra orthodox from birth, but this just makes me appreciate it even more. Ashreichem Yisrael!!! Know that this is not the only organization like this in our communities. There are hundreds all over the world. Anything you can think of, there is. I know in the non jewish world there are many organizations also. But in the Jewish world we are truly all one family!
@The California Arizona Infowarrior so nice of you! If only ppl wud notice all the kindness out there by ALL walks of life instead of trying to figure out who to dislike. How sad! But I'm jewish and I'm grateful for people like you participating in these beautiful things. One day I'll do it too ! God bless u!
Peter, you are just a beautiful soul, your videos are an eye opener for me as a Muslim... Thank you and all love to all my Jew brothers and sisters... Salam שָׁלוֹם سلام
Yes! We can get back to that here in the USA, it’s possible. We don’t need the government to “help” us and then cut us off whenever they decide. I know that this might seem far away from where we are now but all we need is just one kind act at a time. I believe we can all get there one by one which eventually be all of us together. 🇺🇸🤝 United.
I'm Jewish not really belonging to any particular sect or community but I know that there is an immense amount of good there and as you delve into the Hasidic series I learn more and more and I am so so so proud of my people. I did not even know of this organization and I will definitely add them to my monthly charity donations. ❤
If you're jewish you're part of the community and if you're not Jewish and part of the community... you're STILL part of the community. If I have energy to shovel my neighbors snow I won't skipp the non Jewish ppl. Been living here so long they're family as well.
So many organizations accept donations and are corrupt. The people at the top are lining their pockets with your donations. Here's an organization that's really accomplishing things and making a difference in our world.
My son was born with disabilities and growing up as a regular boy was not easy. He wasn't able to play all the games that boys play, baseball, basketball etc. Life was very lonely for him, but then Misamaech was born thanks to Lipa and our house became the place to go to for live concerts! The volunteers are all amazing! 19 years later thanks to them and Chai Lifeline we have made it!!!
@@NechamaGluck it's a group which support Israel in Ireland. Because it's tough out there even to support Israel. I used to get Mint leaves from Israel from Tesco's super market bit they stopped getting it from Israel some 4 years ago. So it's like many support Palestine.
They’re doing the L-rd’s work. Disabled children are closer to G-d than just about anyone else, and caring for them is not only a great responsibility but forging a connection that you can’t find anywhere else.
in Judaism, we believe that those people with disabilities have special souls and are far more connected to Gd than the rest of us are. All humans matter!
Hi Peter! I am so appreciative of the series you've done on the Hasidic Jewish population in NYC. I am a senior; my late mother was Jewish, father was Italian Catholic. I was raised the latter because we saw my dad's family more and also for educational purposes. During my forties, my mother was experiencing the first of many serious medical issues and this triggered a curiosity about the faith from which she was born and, according to Jewish law, the faith I share. I studied with a Hasidic rabbi and while I am still a Christian, I learned so much and it increased the bond with my mother. The Hasidic are greatly maligned and they are an easy target since they probably never see the films that depict them in a negative fashion. Once again, thanks so much!
Do you know that according to Jewish law religion is passed down from mother to child? So even though you consider yourself a Christian, you are actually 100% Jewish too.
Hey! First of all I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom! Nobody is ever old enough to lose that precious gift we get one time! Anyway her ancestors probably went thru many persecutions and self sacrifice to keep her traditions alive all through her past generations... if you ever want info or have any questions on religion you can check up rabbi mizrachi.. he talks about literally any topic out there (on all religions) related to anything! Wishing you so much happiness and success in life! I'm hasidic feel free to ask me anything related to anything : ) wishing you the very best for you and your family
So beautiful to read the comments!!! There is nothing those organisations take back for all they do!!!! They are here for one pure purpose help families in need!!! As much as the sick child needs it, the parents need a break, the siblings need a break... this is literally a LIFE SAVING ORGANISATION!!!! People don't realise what it means until God forbid they need to use It!!!!!!! Keep well everyone!!!!! ❤❤❤
After spending the past 4 years of chronic non stop pain, it was incredibly difficult for me. What these incredible people are doing for these kids is beyond incredible, no child should have to ever go through pain. Brief moments of relief are so healing! Incredible work!
This series is the greatest thing that I’ve ever discovered. My attitude towards my community has COMPLETELY turned around all thanks to you. I feel so much closer to my community and religion when I watch these because I get to see the pure beauty behind everything Jewish people do.
Lemmer! ... oh my goodness! This is amazing - he wasn’t there to promote himself, this was not a gig ... just sharing the joy of his gifts with those who need a lift.

Peter, thank you so much for these videos about the Hasidic Jewish Communities in New York. I am not Jewish, but I have such respect and admiration for their beliefs and commitment to their communities. Your wonderful videos help create understanding of people who are different from ourselves yet alike in many ways. I just changed my Amazon Smile charity to benefit Misameach due to the wonderful service they provide (and your video highlighting this amazing organization).
This makes me cry with happiness and sadness. It’s beautiful to watch but also, watching these vlogs about the Jewish community makes me sad due to the fact of how divided the common American community is. I want this type of community and human connection but it seems impossible these days.
Needed this so bad. I literally justost my third grandparent of the year. I appreciate all your content, thank you so much for what you do. I needed these smiles badly :')
@@PeterSantenello I so very much appreciate you taking the time to reply. I love volunteering actually 😊 I used to weekly at the nursing home my grandparents were in. I loved it. Getting gifts for the elderly folks without family etc. It makes your heart warm.

One of the biggest things in Judaism is called achdut. It means unity and I've seen first hand people save other ppls financial, physical, mental or religious Situations to people they've never met in their life. But its not something that's exclusive to us. I've seen other neighborhoods that aren't Jewish coming up with organizations that the more fortunate ppl can donate to and anyone can volunteer. Like someone said in these comments. It doesn't matter who ur president or government is. Here in America we make our own community what it is.
Raafee Khan, I assume you mean no insult, but saying that "Jews are loaded in every regard" is actually a loaded statement that likely will not go over well with many Jews. The stereotype that Jews are wealthy is not as nice or harmless as it sounds. It's often used as an attack on Jews. Plus, it's not true. But like I said, I don't think you meant any harm. I just wanted to point out how this sort of statement is perceived by many Jews. Something to think about.
@@avrahamgoldberg9731 we were forced to open business from all the work bans for thousands of years basically. My family was broke in the ghetto in Poland and my grandpa came to USA after surviving Auschwitz and ended up making millions from nothing. Its our work ethic I think. I dont think he meant anything bad but yea there are so many poor Jews too , its just that the rich ones are usually very wealthy
Just wait for when these kids learn that they can't go to sporting games, movies, or watch the best sitcoms ever made (even by jews like Seinfeld) or have to cut their hair and go bald.... its not a very good lifestyle
This is an amazing organization that supports families with physical or medical challanges. I was Volunteer coordinator for a number of years there and you can't understand the greatness of this place until you've been there!!!
Thank you for shedding light on the beauty of the Chassidic community. As an orthodox Jew it is much appreciated especially with all the Antisemitism in the world. Keep up the great work!

This is what kinship and caring about your team is all about. Most people in hyper-individualistic societies have long forgotten what it means to be in a really healthy and friendly type of environment with members that support you in every way possible. I think being uprooted from your people is really a miserable scenario most people have to go through because an atomized individual can easily fall prey to any false ad statement that simply parasitizes his wallet and personal wellbeing. I guess building communities around faith, ethnicity, or any other type of affiliation is a must for our health and happiness.
It is not often you see such community these days, especially with how things are with covid and sharing space. The series has been very eye opening Peter. Thanks & have a good Christmas 🎄 NY.
This is great! As the mother of two children (well all grown now) with disabilities and two without it is heartwarming to see that the whole family is included. I recently heard the term "Glass Child" and sadly it is so often true, no matter how hard you try, often the healthy children have to take a back seat when you are doing everything you can just to keep the other child alive. For us the disabilities often were a 24 hour care situation and frequently financially it is difficult. When you have to decide between new shoes for a child who has a hole in the sole of their shoes or medication to keep another child alive the shoes will lose every time. So many of your videos leave me in tears (good ones that come from the heart)
It’s beautiful that the Hassidic is so inclusive. Thank you Peter for opening up so many peoples eyes to so many different cultures/religions and wrong stereotypes.
Thank you for this! I grew up in Montréal near an orthodox synagogue and I’d see them walking around just like in the videos. But I never knew how awesome they are- it’s so nice to be able to go in to their communities with you. Thank you for this!
The amount of good work and help the jewish people do for others inside and outside their communities is unreal but because its done so discreetly and without any fanfare or attention you'd never know it was happening sometimes. I could walk past a house where someone's getting help or help was available but you'd never know it was happening unless you asked
We have a daughter with special and this would be an amazing place for her or for her to experience. I wish deeply that we had a place like this here where we live. She gets incredibly lonely at times especially with this lockdown. She is sixteen and wants companionship so badly and it’s so hard to find that for her. Thank you for sharing this. It gives me hope
All Jewish organizations (and there are so so many) started because someone saw a need and filled the void! U can be the one to start a group. Good luck and best wishes!
I agree hey are he most caring group of people that happen to be Jewish. God is proud of these individuals he has blessed them. Keep up the great work.
Wow...Unbelievable at this time in this country. No problems with finding volunteers instead of burnt-out, overworked, underpaid Social Workers whom no longer care. With ALL...The presence of God is SO REAL in all these people are, and do. Never realized how far this country has fallen until watching this series...As, it is possible for some of we older folks to remember when this display of faith in God, tradition, attitude and love of life and people was far more common.
Thank you Peter for highlighting so much kindness and really normalizing what seems different and unknown. You are doing great work to bring people together. I hope your sub count and influence grows!
Peter, thank you for this series of videos. I was born in Brooklyn and have been living north of Toronto for the past 60 years. I am now a stage 4 cancer patient and find that these videos have reconnected me to where I once lived and grew up. It is heart warming to see the community that has grown up and enveloped the minds and hearts of so many. Please keep doing what your are doing. These stories, videos and communications help to bring people together and break down the challenges that our society is facing today not to mention a tear to an old heart. Happiest and healthiest of holidays to you and your family!
Awesome video really what we need more for all to love and help each other..after following you in these videos I have learned of giving and caring the Hasidic Jewish people are..Once again thank you for sharing...
Peter thanks for bringing positivity to your journalism ( especially the hasidic community) today's media is all negative news if only our society could see all the good that goes on around us we would be in a better place. I love your content please give us more on the community that so little is known about.
What an amazing video 😢 brings tears to my eyes.. Peters and the community may Gd bless you and continue to help you spreading joy and positive awareness to the world

What a beautiful and amazing people the Hasidic community is comprised of! Thank you for this series!
Beautiful voice that man had.
Can we talk about how amazing that singer is?! His voice is incredible. Beautiful person as well
His name is Shulem Lemmer and he's on UA-cam. You will be blown away.
Thank you for shedding light on the beauty of the Chassidic community. As an orthodox Jew it is much appreciated especially with all the Antisemitism in the world. Keep up the great work!
Brought tears to my eyes
This is what LOVE and KINDNESS looks like!
Just wait for when these kids learn that they can't go to sporting games, movies, or watch the best sitcoms ever made (even by jews like Seinfeld) or have to cut their hair and go bald.... its not a very good lifestyle
This is what kinship and caring about your team is all about. Most people in hyper-individualistic societies have long forgotten what it means to be in a really healthy and friendly type of environment with members that support you in every way possible. I think being uprooted from your people is really a miserable scenario most people have to go through because an atomized individual can easily fall prey to any false ad statement that simply parasitizes his wallet and personal wellbeing. I guess building communities around faith, ethnicity, or any other type of affiliation is a must for our health and happiness.
It is not often you see such community these days, especially with how things are with covid and sharing space. The series has been very eye opening Peter.
Thanks & have a good Christmas 🎄 NY.
I'm in tears, this is Amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Am Israel is so Special 💕💕👏
Peter thank you for a wonderful series of a beautiful people.
I pray who ever sees this be successful in life 💖❤️❤️
This is great! As the mother of two children (well all grown now) with disabilities and two without it is heartwarming to see that the whole family is included. I recently heard the term "Glass Child" and sadly it is so often true, no matter how hard you try, often the healthy children have to take a back seat when you are doing everything you can just to keep the other child alive. For us the disabilities often were a 24 hour care situation and frequently financially it is difficult. When you have to decide between new shoes for a child who has a hole in the sole of their shoes or medication to keep another child alive the shoes will lose every time. So many of your videos leave me in tears (good ones that come from the heart)
It’s beautiful that the Hassidic is so inclusive. Thank you Peter for opening up so many peoples eyes to so many different cultures/religions and wrong stereotypes.
Its phenomenal seeing such successful young men giving it their all to spread happiness.
As a Jew, I am amazed!!!
Look what humankind can accomplish without being tied to our electronics. These people are amazing!
We need more of these people in this world!! Lipa YOU ARE THE BEST.
Ya ,if u want to learn more about it, there's small page on Instagram- jew_vlog
Thank you for this! I grew up in Montréal near an orthodox synagogue and I’d see them walking around just like in the videos. But I never knew how awesome they are- it’s so nice to be able to go in to their communities with you. Thank you for this!
What an incredible group of people. God bless them.
The amount of good work and help the jewish people do for others inside and outside their communities is unreal but because its done so discreetly and without any fanfare or attention you'd never know it was happening sometimes. I could walk past a house where someone's getting help or help was available but you'd never know it was happening unless you asked
We have a daughter with special and this would be an amazing place for her or for her to experience. I wish deeply that we had a place like this here where we live. She gets incredibly lonely at times especially with this lockdown. She is sixteen and wants companionship so badly and it’s so hard to find that for her. Thank you for sharing this. It gives me hope
All Jewish organizations (and there are so so many) started because someone saw a need and filled the void! U can be the one to start a group. Good luck and best wishes!
Where do you live?

My heart is touched by this❤️❤️❤️
My heart goes out to all those parents! Stay strong!
i really do admire the jewish they really take the time to help anyone i really am inspired by them
I agree hey are he most caring group of people that happen to be Jewish. God is proud of these individuals he has blessed them. Keep up the great work.
Such a moving, emotional video of good people helping children in need.
Wow...Unbelievable at this time in this country. No problems with finding volunteers instead of burnt-out, overworked, underpaid Social Workers whom no longer care. With ALL...The presence of God is SO REAL in all these people are, and do. Never realized how far this country has fallen until watching this series...As, it is possible for some of we older folks to remember when this display of faith in God, tradition, attitude and love of life and people was far more common.
Making me cry watching this! Love it
Priceless!!
The world needs more videos like this. 👍
Now this is what a true community is!
Thank you Peter for highlighting so much kindness and really normalizing what seems different and unknown. You are doing great work to bring people together. I hope your sub count and influence grows!
This made me cry
I have a 2 year old cousin with brain tumor from Israel here for treatment that the support people give from all the organizations is heartwarming.
Refuah Shelaima! davening for her from Israel
Fantastic people, thanks Peter for sharing this.
Truly wonderful people, the whole series has been increadable , thank you Peter
I’m loving the series on the Hasidic community. Thank you very much for doing these!
Beautiful, thanks Peter. Similar organizations in Brooklyn called Mekimi (lift up) and another one is Tantzers (dancers)
Thank you for showing this video sometimes we as community members forget or take for granted the kindness and love of our own community.
This whole video had me smiling!! ☺️ Made my day
Wonderful! Thanks for posting the positive side of the hasidic community
A beautiful kiddush Hashem!
Beautiful. I love the Jewish faith 🙏🏼
This is so amazing thinking about all the kids that come here to feel something. It's really beautiful
Wow, what you had done in the couple of last video say so much about this subculture. Very lovely people.
Thanks for what you have done,
Thank you Peter for sharing the true side of my wonderful and beautiful brothers and sisters. Klal Yisroel Rocks!
Peter, thank you for this series of videos. I was born in Brooklyn and have been living north of Toronto for the past 60 years.
I am now a stage 4 cancer patient and find that these videos have reconnected me to where I once lived and grew up. It is heart warming to see the community that has grown up and enveloped the minds and hearts of so many. Please keep doing what your are doing. These stories, videos and communications help to bring people together and break down the challenges that our society is facing today not to mention a tear to an old heart.
Happiest and healthiest of holidays to you and your family!
Praying for you🙏
May u have a speedy recovery quick!🙏
Have a speedy and complete recovery!!!
May you have a full and speedy healing
All the best! 🍀
Awesome video really what we need more for all to love and help each other..after following you in these videos I have learned of giving and caring the Hasidic Jewish people are..Once again thank you for sharing...
I really feel like I wanna become Hasidic Jew, amazing
Absolutely wonderful people. Love this series. Thank you so much for sharing.
What a beautiful concept! Every city should have this!
Unfortunately there aren’t big Jewish communities everywhere...
Good on you Peter!! G-d bless you for sharing the true colors of people and communities!!
Love this. Thank you for spreading the kindness.
Peter thanks for bringing positivity to your journalism ( especially the hasidic community) today's media is all negative news if only our society could see all the good that goes on around us we would be in a better place. I love your content please give us more on the community that so little is known about.
Truly kind people, it good to see goodness in the world. X
Oh wow, Shulem Lemmer was there. I knew him from the song "Jerusalem of Gold" which is very beautiful!
This is amazing. Thank you Peter for sharing!
