      .Rabbi Jewishs are Lies.
      GOD HIMSELF HAS CURSED THE JEWS FOR:
      The hatred and conspiracy of the Jewish Rabbis with Herod the Great King of the Jews, against the baby Jesus who was born in Bethlehem, ordered the execution of all boys aged two years and under in all of Bethlehem. (Matthew 2:16-18)… “Therefore the Jews were Prophesized for Their Wickedness”: “and they will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled upon by the nations that do not know God, until the times of the nations are fulfilled" (Luke 21:24)

I respect the drive to practice their religion in peace, but any kind of arrogance or placing themselves above other Arab peoples -- particularly now -- is such an irreligious attitude.

      I'm not sure arrogance over Arabs has anything to do with how the Jews/Israelis dress. I was in Egypt in the 1980's and the men mostly wore a light colored robe (galabiya), with maybe 10% wearing modern Western clothing, and 99% plus of the women wearing a black robe (gallibaya) and hijab, which they would hold with their teeth to partially cover their face. I have since seen pictures that appear to show a large percentage of Egyptian women wearing modern Western clothing out in public (some without sleeves, shocking, I was physically assaulted for wearing short sleeves in the extreme heat in 1985), which surprises me, since I know that 86% of them are still "circumcised"; a horrible procedure which greatly increases the danger of childbirth. With Gaza in the News so much recently, I've noticed that ~100% of the Palestinian Arab men appear to wear modern Western clothing, while many of the women still appear to wear the traditional robes and hijab. I doubt that either Egyptians or Palestinians are being pressured by Europeans/Americans to dress like us, they just seem to prefer it.

    Also as a somewhat mean remark, though it's meant in good spirit, the Ashkenazi influence on modern hebrew is extremely apparent to me as an outsider from Germany: Oftentimes hebrew just sounds like random gibberish with a very strong German accent to me. Heh.

    Palestinians were always saying that Jews of Palestine were ripped away from their own heritage and now I understand their words. It was bizarre before because I thought that being there in Israel meant all Jews were now in tune to their heritage. But it seems that every Jewish community except for Ashkenazim lost their own unique identity and assimilated into becoming European out of some form of sociological cohesion instead of valuing their uniqueness. This community damage and loss of heritage can never be repaired nor restored, much like ancient Hebrew. Once lost it is lost for good and all there is, is a Eurocentric reconstruction version of Hebrew. Devastating. Poor people.

    I'm from Holland and we gave up almost 80% of our Jew population up to the Germans that's why i've had pretty much no contact with a 'real' Jew whatsoever. Even though I know there used to be a huge Jewish community in Holland cause we still use Hebrew in our own language. We say "De mazzel!" To say goodbye or see you again. Which is from Mazzeltof and we got many more... That's why I find this very interesting

    What the man said about wearing the uniform of the Yeshiva school makes a lot of sense, since we sent our kids to a Catholic school for a few years, and they had to wear a specific uniform, too. I hated the way they looked, but they had to wear the uniform or be sent to the principal to be sent home to change every day. In the city where I live, it’s possible to tell the Catholic schools children attend by their uniforms. Anyway, as an American, I will also say that what people wear is their business....if there are Moroccan Jews who want to look like their grandparents, fine. If they don’t, fine.

  • @Mas_Tun
    @Mas_Tun 5 років тому +70

    The second guy is the most correct, although it goes back further than just the past few decades. Ashkenazi emissaries began influencing the religious communities in parts of the Arab world during the nineteenth century since new economic opportunities, and the education from the Alliance Universale Israelite, gave more incentive for gifted students to go into more lucrative jobs rather than the rabbanut. So there was a decline in religious observance, yeshivot following an orderly curriculum, and so on. They also affected the culture of the Sepharadi yeshivot in Palestine during the twentieth century - which was evident at Porat Yosef for example, which refused to teach philosophy or theology, and followed a more typical Lithuanian curriculum (much to the chagrin of people like hakham Uziel, who pushed for a more traditional Sepharadi curriculum).
    The Lithuanian influence just became far more pervasive over time, and also included the hassidic factor with Chabad, Breslov, and Satmar going after them. They keep some customs and their liturgical rite, but to some extent, they're barely Sepharadi anymore (ok, this is hyperbole). They'll be more likely to cite Isserles or Kagan than Duran, or even Maimonides and Alfasi, for Jewish law. Same with Rashi or other Ashkenazic commentators throughout the ages, rather than people like Ibn Ezra or Kimhi, or other exegetes who followed what was more typical in the Mediterranean areas.

    • @Mas_Tun
      @Mas_Tun 5 років тому

      Raanan111 I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. I said *"They keep some customs,"* and I never said they follow those sources. I was implying they follow the typical methodologies of Ashkenazi posekim, which are different than those of Sepharadi ones (e.g. we generally stayed away from pilpul sophistry, and studied the halakhic reasoning of the geonim). I was also implying that they *should* be placing greater emphasis on studying Maimonides or Alfasi as our communities typically did (they were the main halakhic sources which we followed, even if we also followed Karo and some other aharonim).
      As an aside, many don't actually end up eating rice, legumes, and all that on Passover because they accommodate Ashkenazim (no, it's not because they're too lazy to sift through it). While other Ashkenazi customs, some old, some new, have started to become more common (for example, seniut and mehisa "laws"; following the nine days, even the three weeks period, instead of shavua shehal bo; going through insane measures to check for bugs in vegetables even though checking just means removing whatever is visible under normal conditions; waiting 6 hours to eat dairy after eating something cooked with meat, like soup, but not eating any meat itself, when there isn't that prohibition to wait etc)

Can you give me any examples of following gaonic reasoning in RIF, RAMBAM, RITVA, RASHBA??? I mean, I've seen then RARELY mention a geon, but their reasoning seems original. WHY do you think Mizrahim should be following RIF & RAMBAM & why do you drop rabbinical titles like an Ashkenazi? Are you dismissing the ROSH because he was Ashkenazi??? The RASHBA certainly did NOT do that! Do you consider gaonic reasoning to be superior to that of Rishonim??? Which Mizrahi poseq does not use pilpul today? The downside of Ashkenazi pilpul is not moving toward a practical pesaq because of doubt.

    • @Mas_Tun
      @Mas_Tun 5 років тому +1

      Maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not talking about "Mizrahim" (I hate that term) altogether. I'm talking about the ones who are part of the yeshiva or haredi world and are heavily influenced by Lithuanians and/or hasidim.
      Borderline anti-Semitic? Are you out of your mind?
      And Sepharadi posekim did *not* historically use pilpul. It was heavily criticized during the Middle-Ages (although that term is more closely related to Christendom, but I'm just using it as a general time frame). Even in Maimonides' time, the students of his yeshiva in Egypt were instructed to study his Mishneh Torah in order to make halakhic decisions in order to avoid them misusing pilpul.
      Alfasi was basically the end of the geonic period and studied under Nissim ben Jacob in Kairouan. Maimonides' rulings were closely related to Alfasi and they differed on a handful of occasions (he's also an indirect pupil via his father, via Migash). The same can be said of the Andalousian tradition in general.
      They were followed because they generally codified the Talmud, and did not give much precedence to local customs (which isn't entirely true, but mostly the case), nor, like later on, to customs which originated among the mystical tradition which emerged in the end of the twelfth century. They were the standard among the Jews in the Muslim world. Karo even mentions that regarding Maimonides in Avkat Rokhel. That's why I mentioned them; I wasn't name dropping, nor was I saying they were authoritative because of who they were like the typical gadolatry.
      I didn't say it's superior to the Rishonim. I was saying that our communities often (albeit not always) followed those same kinds of sources that our rishonim used. Obviously there's going to be diffusion from other sources, and I didn't denigrate that either. I didn't say anything about Rosh, for example, who influenced Karo. What I did attack in the original comment was that the later geonim, early rishonim, and aharonim of the Sepharadic world are not taught as often nowadays. Even after Shulhan Arukh became more standard, our hakhamim were still intimately familiar with those other sources (even including relatively modern ones, like Uziel, Messas, or Chelouche). Even mori Qafih and the Dor Daim, which are classical in approach, are controversial among many religious "Mizrahim" today, when they really shouldn't be.

    Hi Corey, I've enjoyed many of your videos but this one disappointed me. I feel like it was based on two faulty premises - 1) Sefardim are ashamed of their heritage and 2) that's why they dress like Polish Jews. As to the first point - people who do not dress like their grandparents are not necessarily ashamed of their heritage. Many Americans whose parents/grandparents immigrated from India/ Pakistan / China / (enter country of your choice), do not continue to dress in the official, formal style of their country of origin. Most of them look like...21st century Americans. And it's quite possible that your grandfather did not wear red t-shirts when he went outside, and yet your wearing one, is not a rejection of your heritage. As for the second point - the people who dress in the black and white "uniform", are not dressing in Polish garb. Rather they are dressing in the current style of the chareidi yeshiva society to which they now belong. The fact that the style originated in Poland - a favorite mocking point for all anti-chareidim - is really irrelevant. However it came to be, the current dress code for the yeshiva world is the black and white uniform. And people who identify with that society dress that way. And Arabs who dress in modern western clothing are not rejecting their heritage. And secular Israelie of Moroccan, Persian, Bukharian etc. descent who wear western clothes instead of traditional clothes of their grandparents, are not rejecting anything...

It's not like it's become the "standard" dress for Jews everywhere, lol However, with that said, it seems the main reason is the Sphardic and Mizrahi yeshivas have died down and the Askhenazi yeshivas are the most common so that style of dress is de rigeur there.

      this feeling can only be based on observing the orthodox, or ultra orthodox Jews. If you focus on "secular" or tradionalist Israeli Jews, the dominance is getting more and more Mizrahi.
      European/Ashkenazi Jews have disconnected a long time ago from the "European" heritage. Classical music, ballets, operas..not really there.
      Pop music in Israel includes more and more elements of Arab/Turk/Middle eastern elemtns, and that's beside the whole big genre of "oriental/mediterranean music"
      The food is totally middle-eastern, quite hard to find restaurants or street food based on Ashkenazi cuisine.
      Mizrahi tradition is well kept in synagogues, holiday dinners, amongst most Mizrahi population, whereas secular Ashkenazi people drift away from religion and tradition, living a life so very different than their ancestors 100 years earlier - with Mizrahi Israelis, there's much more continuity.

  • @johnjon1823
    @johnjon1823 4 роки тому +5

    I'm a Catholic I totally get it. We have lots of groups who wear distinctive clothes. Such clothing is usually simple and modest, but sometimes hard to understand. That is because the particular style of dress was chosen sometimes hundreds of years ago and while fashions changed, the clothing worn by a particular group did not. We refer to such religious garb as a habit. Mother Teresa's girls wear a specific habit that fits India but they keep the same habit in every country. Religious garb is a good idea, any Catholic may be wearing religious garb or other items on his person at any time, it is common, just not often noticed. One form of religious garb among Catholics is called a scapular, it is a piece of cloth worn around the neck and hanging down the chest and back. There are many kinds of scapulars with many kind of purposes, they are a form of clothing. Such thing evolved for a time when people wore large symbols or representations on their clothing, as time went on the size of the representation became smaller to the point where one usually wears such things under a shirt or such type clothing. Such things are used to remind one of the things of God and how to behave, and, depending on the thing worn, it may call down the assistance of God through something we call grace. Grace can have kind of a wide range of meaning and is kind of specific to the moment and circumstance. The most important grace would be the indwelling of God in the soul, in such a soul which is received in a special way at Baptism it is called sanctifying grace and represents being in relationship with God as His friend and child. If one sins seriously, then that grace or indwelling of God, is lost, one may end up in hell, separated from the creator. If one repents, he can receive this grace again. There are many kinds of graces. The grace to be a good parent. The grace to do well in a math test. There are as many kinds of special graces as there are needs.
    Religious garb or uniform is a good idea all around, it serves to remind the wearer who he is and how he should behave, it serves others to see dedication to the holy things of God and it does the world good to see that there are those concerned with God and His commands. This also provides, hopefully, some idea as to modesty in dress, which is a very serious problem in the world.
    There is no downside to loving the creator and keeping the 10 commandments and study of the scripture. Catholic scripture includes all the Jewish scripture and sees it as the foundation to the New Testament scripture. Protestants lack some books that Catholics include. Catholics include the book of Tobit Protestants do not. Don't ask me why.

    • @RedRiverMan
      @RedRiverMan Рік тому +1

      Amen brother, all true! To the last question as to why Protestants don't have a the old testament books-its a long story but essentially they cut them out under Luther. In traditional protestant bibles they moved them to the back and said they are optional to read but not binding on faith, now they lost them completely. Luther didn't like them because they contained accounts of too much Catholic seeming ritual (which is because our Catholic practice are rooted in Jewish scripture of course) but mostly they didn't like them for the same reason the Jewish Rabbos didn't: The deuterocannon (thats the name for the books of Tobit, Wisdom, 1-2 Maccabees, etc) was written during the time of the Babylonian captivity and that somehow lowered their rate of inspiration. Now that last part I don't understand. Look upCatyholic videos on the subject, they are enlightening. Pax Christi!

You know that thing that you don't understand and want to ignore.
      People obviously dress like the place they live in unless they are specifically trying to preserve something. They also eventually start looking like the people. This has always and will always happen if you're being honest. Stop repeating old racist ideas about blood and purity. Modern Jews themselves are guilty of believing they are pure whatever. Nobody is pure. Not even arctic people living in the fringes.

    As an outsider, I would only say that aesthetically, the jellibiya strikes me as more beautiful than the Ashkenazi way of dress. Sorry to my Ashkenazi friends!
    But there are historical reasons this seems to happened which I think (?) most Israeli know. Not only are all the "better" yeshiva Ashkenazi, but after 1948 when a flood of Sephardi migrants arrived in Israel, there was some ethnic friction. Not everyone was immediately welcoming (though it seems like that attitude shifted at some point). It is reported that they were also poor so, all the European jews already present would have been the culture they would assimilate TO. It may have even, to some, represented what sociologists call a "prestige culture." (Though this seems a strange term in the context of a population full of Holocaust survivors.)

    You know what, I respect that each of them mentioned their father being a big reason why they dress that way. If that’s their excuse it’s enough for me.
