MY EYES ARE WET WITH THANKSGIVING FOR OUR WALK THRU JERUSALEM... WILL FOLLOW YOUR TALENTED INSTRUCTIONS... 79 YR OLD FROM THE TOPS OF THE MOUNTAINS ISAIAH 2
Cholent (Lithuanian Jewish pronunciation) or Choolent (Hassidic, Galicianer and Hungarian Jewish pronunciation) is slow cooked food using a low flame under a metal partition under a pot or a crock pot (invented by an American Orthodox Jew named Irving Naxon). It comes from an old Talmudic tradition to debunk Sadducees and take sides in favor of the Pharisees. The Pharisees, forerunners of today's Orthodox Jews believed that Halacha from the Torah laws were both written and oral, similar to the Sharia comprising the Quran and the Hadith and the Sadduccees believed only in the written Torah. In Numbers 35:3 it states "You shall not kindle a flame in any of your dwellings on the day of Shabbat." The Pharisees interpreted that to mean that while one may not light a fire on Shabbat, one may derive benefit from a fire on Shabbat, as long as it is lit before Shabbat while the Sadducees interpreted it to mean that one may not derive benefit from a fire on Shabbat even if lit before Shabbat. So there were some Jewish "fence sitters" who would simply not have warm food on Shabbat to satisfy both Jewish groups, the Sadduccees and the Pharisees. The Pharisee rabbis declared that one must have hot food as long as it was not directly cooked and as long as the flame was lit before Shabbat in order to demonstrate trust and allegiance to the Pharisee side. Thus the Pharisees started a custom that carries on till today. The European (Ashkenazic) Jews make slow cooked cholent using barley and Eastern and Central European flavors and the Jews from Islamic countries (Sefardic and Edut Mizrach) make slow cooked "hamin" using rice or bulgar wheat and Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors. You should try hamin too, which include slow cooked eggs in their dish.
In Middle Eastern countries, the Jews would fill the family large pot with all the ingredients, seal it with a tight, padlocked lid, then take it to the Muslim baker on Fridays afternoon. The pot was placed on embers and the food slowly cooked overnight. On Shabbat morning, after Synagogue Services, they would retrieve their food, nice and hot, for the Shabbat lunch. Each family marked their pots with a particular sign. (People of the Middle East didn’t have ovens at home, like the Europeans). An interesting fact is that North African Jews who for some reason fled their countries in the middle of a Friday night, on their way to Israel, would still leave their Shabbat food with the Muslim baker, to avoid suspicion. On Shabbat morning, the remaining pots revealed what families had made Aliya. I once saw a video showing a Muslim bakery employee collecting the Dfeena pots from his regular customers, on his freight tricycle, on a Friday afternoon in the Jewish Quarter of a North African city.
So glad you got it in the end. You didn't give up! I was 'walking' with you, telling you who to ask in the street. I lived in Jerusalem for many years - and easy for me to identify who would speak English and who would be a cholent eater:)
LOL! Yup! No women. Skip the men with payos. Don't stop anyone in a hurry. But look for someone carrying shopping bags, specifically wine and flowers. And always look for an American Yeshiva student! (But who eats cholent if it's not shabbos? Apart from bochurim on a Thurs nite?)
@@skontheroad I was thinking more he asked a lot of Sephardim, which I would skip. You could ask women (they know where even if they dont eat it), and nowadays other people eat chulent on Thursday, not just yeshiva students.
@@schrodingersiddiqui4023 You are Wrong in every way. They have 100% literacy. Reading is required by the religion. In most Yeshivas, children begin reading from the Torah at age five. At age 13, it is a rite of passage to read before the entire congregation and lead the community in prayer. Also, I spoke with Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem (and I'm not Jewish).. The key is being respectful.
@@schrodingersiddiqui4023 Wrong again!!! Some of them do speak English...and some of them do not speak English. It's a mixed bag. It's exactly the same as in many other foreign countries where not everyone can comprehend English. The UA-camr seemed very respectful, and the English-speaking Israelis were willing to help him.
Us Catholics have much to learn from Jewish Orthodox. I long to live in close proximity with Orthodox Catholics so our faith can be imbued in all life like this.
Those are not newspapers glued to the walls. They are either announcements of someone's death or opinions about a Jewish practice, like against women wearing wigs or other things like that
Cholent is served for Shabbat - Saturday lunch. As cooking is not allowed on Shabbat , the meal is prepared on Friday in a large pot with Legumes & meat with the bone for test - barley, potatoes, kidney beans, & other white beans, meat - Flanken, salt, pepper, garlic powder, cover with water and it is made in a pot overnight at low temp. It is not a poor man;s meal but a rich tasty meal because we could not cook & a hearty Warm lunch is served.
Traditionally, people used to bring their pots to town and give it to the baker, who would put the pot into his very hot oven, which would cool down over night. In the morning, after synagogue, on the way home, people would pick up their pot so the family would have something hot for lunch (bc cooking is not allowed on shabbat). It is NOT a poor man's food. It is a dish of meat, potatoes, onions, beans, barley, spices and then it is slow cooked overnight over a low flame (or the bakers embers in the center of the stetl!) Most commonly nowadays it is cooked in a crock pot. He passed 3 places that sold it, which is kind of frustrating, lol! But I just described the Ashkenaz version. Ashkenazim make up 50% of the Israeli Jewish population. The other half are Sephardic. They make a Hamim for Shabbat. Also delicious, slightly different, and with an egg (always with an egg!). MY personal fave is Yapsuk--a Hungarian dish with shredded potatoes. Very yummy!
Omg I was soo confused what the heck is Cholet... Till I saw it... We rarely calls it Cholet in Israel, its the Yiddish way to say it, in Hebrew its called "חמין" which sound the same as "Ha-mean". Thats why the first guy in the store didn't knew where you can find it even tho it was inside the store.
:) As you were standing right in front of the store before you realized they sold it, i was yelling, its here its here! I was at this takout called Hadar Geulah a few weeks ago, they have phenomenal food!
In north Manchester, head to Dovid's deli for Cholent. Very tasty it is. It's like Scouse or Irish stew. If poor, meatless Scouse, which is blind Scouse. Wonder if a non lamby Cholent is blind Cholent. 😊🥴
its not exactly newspapers. those are pamphletes (pashk'vil) which are announcing (news, assemblies , obituaries, births, events, and even latest decrees)
The Ultra Orthodox have their own newspapers such as Hamodia, Yated Ne'eman. They are just not allowed to have televisions and internet (including smartphones except for work purposes) at home, thereby requiring the medium you mentioned for advertisements and announcements.
Why did you not ask for the location of a place to eat food (a restaurant) rather than the food itself? The question is awkward. Try this: Wo ist das nächste Restaurant?
If you had visited any home, you could have gotten cholent. Nowadays it's mostly cooked in a slow cooker. Women get the ingredients ready on Friday, plug in the pot, and eat it for lunch on Shabbat. Every cookbook I have has a cholent recipe, and all of them are different and delicious.
Hello, in Warsaw, Poland, the meal is called "czulent" /Polish pronuntiation/, like an English word "choolent". Very popular among the Jewish pre-war communities in Eastern, South-Eastern /Galitia/ and Central Poland.
Great video. the paper on the walls in the streets are some announcements, mostly mentioning names on people who died recently, but not newspapers. It may be also some special warnings (religiously) or other type of orders, buy nothing to do with informing people about the news. loved your video
@@krazythedomm Jews have been calling that land Eretz Yisroel which means the land of Israel for thousands of years ❗ Do u think I care that the British colonizers before 1948 called the land British Mandated Palestine ⁉️ By the way my father was born there before 1948 and is a ninth generation Jerusalamite (meaning that my ancestors imigrated there in the mid 1800's!) Also he resides there right now after having lived in the US for over fifty years ❗ So ur the last person to educate me on this issue ❗
The real question is how was your stomach feeling 2 hours after?😂 (it’s a very heavy food and people who are not used to it usually have a bad stomach after)
Your pronunciation of “Sh’lon” might be the most accurate. Many people think it refers to food kept overnight , and that’s the meaning of the word Sh’lon. Over the years the masses corrupted the word . Btw many shuls worldwide offer free Cholent after the morning prayers on Shabbos.
What do you mean by "simple" lifestyle? It's a fairly average, medieval neighbourhood, like you find in many places in the Middle East. What is "not simple" for you? Glass fronts and steel? And where are "the many, many children"? I didn't see one in your video. You can be glad that no Orthodox man knocked the camera out of your hand when you were pointing it at him... Disrespectful 😝
Nur zum wissen... the first bite of cholent that was eaten was called "Kishke". It is not the same kind of flanken (meat) that is always in a cholent. A cholent with Kishke is always extra yummy (I will skip the ingredients--it's better that way!). And the part people always go for first! This cholent didn't have barley. Mine always does. And I use 2 Kishkes--keeps the kids from fighting (I have won 2 cholent contests, btw!). Everyone has their own recipe. Wo waren sie als sie bei dem Rabbi gewohnt haben??
😆👍 You finally found the Food shop with the Kosher Choolnt. Why Not Giving Us the exact Address!! of the Shop ? Because we are very Hungry 😋 .the Food looks Yammy. Efrat. Israel 🇮🇱
I’m surprised you did not receive negative comments from people about your camera. It’s common knowledge that many residents of Me’a She’arim, especially young orthodox men and ladies do not like being photographed. Some men can react quite violently. I think you were just a little lucky on this occasion. I have frequently walked around the area, but to respect local sensitivities I leave my camera and phone in my backpack.
You incorrectly referred to chulent as "it", like you said "Where can I get IT?' You should have asked "Where can I get SOME?" Also there are different pronunciations e.g. CHULENT, CHEWLENT, CHOLENT, SHOLET. Every Jewish family, who makes chulent, has their own specific recipe. I make chulent every week for my family, about ten who come after Shabbos davening (prayers), adults and children, teenagers and two-year-olds. It's the subject of discussion because each week it tastes slighty different but always delicious.
Many different ways. The men actually get paid to learn Torah but many work other jobs as well whether it is blue collar-such as plumbing, electricity, etc. or business jobs. The wives often work as well, usually as secretaries or graphic design and other tech jobs, or running "ganim" which are private babysitting groups in their home. My husband is paid to learn, he is a music teacher, and translates books, while I teach fitness
Exactly the same way everyone else does. I sell insurance. My friend is a journalist. Another friend is a nutritionist. Business, sales, real estate, the arts, importing, production, etc etc. What he says about phones/internet is not accurate. Almost everyone has internet at home or office but we guard it very carefully. We are careful what we see and even more careful what our children see. We also have plenty of news sources/publications. Most of the bulletins/posters are death announcements so you can go to the funeral since we usually bury people within 24 hours. Or they are some other event or community announcement people want to know about quickly.
In Mea Shearim and Geula, the large white posters in the streets tell the residents of the neighborhood, the news ("the newspapers" as he says here in the video). Community announcements, etc. Also, in this community they only use "kosher" cellphones. Not so they won't be distracted by the internet, but so they won't be distracted by immoral things online. There are plenty of great things on the internet and the Yeshivas and schools often use the internet as an educational tool. But they also use the childproof programs to make sure that nothing R rates gets by!
could probably find it in 20 seconds using google maps .. instead of this pseudo ethnographic ridiculousness like it’s the Amazonian jungle ffs .. “look how simply they live. oh they even have a laundry”
We are sitting in our living room watching this video and with each new person he stops on the street we scream and scream repeatedly “SAY RESTAURANT “ SAY RESTAURANT “ for the love of G-d just use that one simple universally understood word!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is not a restaurant i was looking for . If you look at the video till the end I was not in a restaurant but a small place with a counter where by chance there were two or three posibilities to sit and eat the food. I would not call it a restaurant. The tour guide told me it at least like that. Blessings for you.
If you studied with a rabbi for a year how could you not only know how to say "cholent", and not have been invited to his house for Shabbas and savored it many times?
Thank you for this uplifting and positive spin and tour of Mea Shearim and our traditions. Glad you enjoyed your chulent!!
שלום עליכם
This is 100% the most accurate video about the ultra Orthodox community living in Jerusalem. GREAT JOB!!
Tkank you so much. I just love the Community.

I believe choolent is Polish, chulent is Hungarian
He needs help with proper pronunciation of CH. He's using the French pronunciation of CH which is why some may not have understood him.
Jews from Iraq don't call it hamin, but rather "t'bit" or "Tabit" depending on where in Iraq the Jews lived.

This is such a beautiful video! Oh how wonderful is the world when we look at it so positively! Well done! Great work!
Cholent comes from French "chaud - lent" meaning hot and long (describing the cooking method). I love it too.
It's debated. Maybe it's shul end. Nobody really knows.
As chulent is traditionally an Askenaz dish, "shul ende" is more likely, and more often understood to be where the word cholent comes from.
So glad you got it in the end. You didn't give up! I was 'walking' with you, telling you who to ask in the street. I lived in Jerusalem for many years - and easy for me to identify who would speak English and who would be a cholent eater:)
So kind comment.
Friday morning in Mea Shaarim is fantastic. Although When I am there it seems everyone is speaking English. American English.
I'm a chulent eater
LOL! Yup!
No women. Skip the men with payos. Don't stop anyone in a hurry. But look for someone carrying shopping bags, specifically wine and flowers. And always look for an American Yeshiva student!

You should try it with 'brown eggs'. The hard boiled egg is cooked in the mix and stays intact with a special exceptional taste.
Sounds yummy!
That’s not very hygienic. Eggs shells have a lot bacteria and feces, and when they are boiled all the toxins are released in the stew.

Almost everyone has internet at home or office but we guard it very carefully. We are careful what we see and even more careful what our children see. We also have plenty of news sources/publications. Most of the bulletins/posters are death announcements so you can go to the funeral since we usually bury people within 24 hours. Or they are some other event or community announcement people want to know about quickly.
In Mea Shearim and Geula, the large white posters in the streets tell the residents of the neighborhood, the news ("the newspapers" as he says here in the video). Community announcements, etc.
Also, in this community they only use "kosher" cellphones. Not so they won't be distracted by the internet, but so they won't be distracted by immoral things online. There are plenty of great things on the internet and the Yeshivas and schools often use the internet as an educational tool. But they also use the childproof programs to make sure that nothing R rates gets by!
Why do you believe you are Jewish when you don't worship as Jewish? Please explain.
Food … a cultural common denominator for the 21st Century. Everybody love food.
Kühlschrank leergekocht Schmortopf mit Rindfleisch , Bohnen und auch ganze Eier . Muss ich mal nachkochen !
could probably find it in 20 seconds using google maps .. instead of this pseudo ethnographic ridiculousness like it’s the Amazonian jungle ffs .. “look how simply they live. oh they even have a laundry”
I agree. I noticed that too.
A silly dude... "Yummi Yummi Tom"
You just happened to come to the best place to eat Jewish food
Only the clothes are different, cheers 😊
In the last 5 minutes he shows the food the entire video is traveling😒
We are sitting in our living room watching this video and with each new person he stops on the street we scream and scream repeatedly “SAY RESTAURANT “ SAY RESTAURANT “ for the love of G-d just use that one simple universally understood word!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is not a restaurant i was looking for . If you look at the video till the end I was not in a restaurant but a small place with a counter where by chance there were two or three posibilities to sit and eat the food. I would not call it a restaurant. The tour guide told me it at least like that. Blessings for you.
Israel 🇮🇱 is so beautiful
Yes Dave!
If you studied with a rabbi for a year how could you not only know how to say "cholent", and not have been invited to his house for Shabbas and savored it many times?
I studied with him in Germany 13 years ago.
