Thanks for all your uploads, I find the documentaries really interesting
I recognize a couple that lived in South Hampstead, this certainly isn't in Stamford Hill. Considering the seating arrangements, I'd reackon this is a reform synagogue.
Thanks for preserving history, but why did you splice footage of Reform Jews,
into a doc. that talks about the Orthodox community?
Gaby lock has been overlooked.. Please feature him... Guy is a legend of the hill
He is the last of a dying breed: independent, smart, kind.
The music was absolutely gorgeous. Do you have a list of the songs that were used? Although this is a synagogue, the teachings and the choir music remind me a lot of the church I grew up in. Perhaps the composed, respectful and ethereal austerity of the service at the synagogue, complete with choir, is a uniquely English thing. It's so wonderful to see and hear the people talk so reverently about God and the Bible, especially Rabbi Hugo Gryn. I love documentaries, and this is a wonderful channel. Thank you.
Anyone else in the mood for a tuna bagel?
Vegan pastrami on mine please. 👌 Btw what a great video.
The Jewish religion is very beautiful, especially the music. I am not Jewish but found out a year ago my grandma on my moms side was born and raised Jewish. She converted to Catholicism when she married my grandfather. I feel like I missed out on learning more about the Jewish faith. I wish I had been raised knowing this.
Actually you are Jewish. Judaism goes by the mother and so, given what you have said, you are Jewish and it is irrelevant that your grandmother converted to Catholicism. Go and speak to a rabbi who will explain this to you.
acording to the jewish law you are 100% jewish and cant change it
Did you do anything about it?
Absolutely nothing to do with Stamford Hill :)
What year was this filmed?
What is the source of the film?
