I’ve watched youtube for years and I think this is the kinda of content we need on this platform, original and feels very realistic. Your channel is the best channel I’ve found in years
Agreed!

@@666overloaded Thanks for mentioning Bald&Bankrupt I follow their videos, Glad I found Peter Santenello great video's
Yes, I totally agree!
agree
I am an African American man, who was raised in Crown Heights - my mother lived there until the day she died, at the age of 92. This video made me very emotional because I saw my ‘friends’ opening their hearts and homes and culture to the Internet world. Thank you, everyone.
I think Jews and African Americans have a natural bond being that we have for so long been oppressed by other people we have developed a sense of understanding for each other's struggles. My best wishes to you and have a happy new year!
@@elijah9253 Jews... Oppressed...
mira mi amigo. debes haber dicho exactamente lo contrario de lo que dijiste.
@@elijah9253 I think that's because both wanted to live in any community but on their rules. For example your guest wants to do what he wants and he doesn't care about you. In your home. You kick him out from home. He would cry that he is being oppressed. That is jew.
I lived on Eastern Pkwy for 11 years, about 3 blocks away from this major synagogue. I’m also black. I was truly fascinated by the Hasidic community and wanted to know more about their culture. However, they’re extremely insular and very rarely interact with others. They’re def not approachable lol (my experience obviously but not saying they’re all like that... my cousin’s Hasidic neighbors were super cool). ! Anyway, at least they open up to this guy, interesting to see.
What a nice memory to share...it contradicts the stereotype and I am very happy to read thus.

Going to be that person
@@PROUDCANADIANGIRL youtube is still social media lol
The maturity of the young people is very impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed each episode and learning.
This was a great series. This is how people learn about other groups by actually talking to people, not just judging and by tv shows
You're so right
I wish the episodes would continue, including seeing the mikvah and other things they spoke about...
Exactly. This was an awesome documentary. The full thing is a 2 part series
Thank you so much! This was very interesting to watch.
@@user-bw3fl7fj9w agreed, this should be made into a series it’s so interesting
Being a Muslim and lived for a while near utrecht Brooklyn a place designated to orthodox jews, I really respect them following their ideological beliefs. What I most respectful about them is the remembrance of God. Love and peace for all and hatred for none.
@@Peacetoself the only one who seems insecure is you with your off the hook comment.
What a nice thing to say about a Jew, Ali. God Bless to you and to your family
@@mojomojo5779 it is the reflection of your own goodness that you see nice things in others. Peace and blessings be on you and your family as well.
@Trav Hat I am real and a proud Muslim. No religion teaches hatred, transgression, disrespecting to any fellow human being, I believe from my limited knowledge. Humanity is the biggest lesson of the divine scriptures whether it is Islam, Judaism, Christianity etc. Your religion is your choice and you're free to choose whatever deems appropriate to you, but for me it is obligatory to respect you and love you to seek Almighty blessings. We dont know each other but the words of kindness would remain part of our delightful memories. So peace and blessings be on you
THANK YOU!! What a breath of fresh air
As a Christian who grew up with many Jewish friends, albiet not Hassidic, I have always had a great respect for these people. These videos you have made are fabulous and I hope that they help to bridge the gap for many who may not have had this understanding. So well done! Thank you Peter!
Very interesting.
How can you respect for the people that killed your lord and savior if you're Christian🤔
you know they call us cattle right??
✝ ✡ 🙏
Yep, I am from Palm Beach County, FL, with a significant Jewish population, and I couldn't agree with you more. God bless.
Born and raised in NYC, believing the majority of the Jewish community were selfish and rude (and terrible drivers) this has really broadened my perspective. Thank you for allowing us into your everyday lives. Peace and love to you all.
rent a place in south Williamsburg. You'll change your perspective back again lol
Sadly I’ve discovered that someone can be sweet and a nice person in everyday life, and yet be a total terror behind the wheel. lol. So these people may still be horribly impatient drivers. One can hope not though. :)
Classic typical East Coast mentality. “I’m so much better than you” the old school superiority complex.
Born and raised on the Westside. I worked on Broadway in high school part time and after I started college, until I flunked out and got drafted! I made many friends working on Broadway, when I was drafted these friends gave me a going away party. The outpouring of concern and love was overwhelming, it was very moving and emotional for a 20 year old draftee during Vietnam. During my time in he Army this group of people sent me care packages, which were very welcome. Of course it was packed with NYC stuff, Yahoo,Motza,Lindser Tarts and tons of other goodies.
The part that I like to share, most of these people who sent me care packages and goodies were Jewish! When people asked me about my packages, I told them the packages were from my Jewish Family in show business!
As an orthodox jew, I am so amazed that there is someone willing to spread truth and love. Thank you! I really enjoyed these videos
This has broken the barrier of my understanding of your culture and religion. I kinda understand how my ethnic community lost its way and our culture diluted so much.
So the Torah is basically a guidebook for a happy life? like what I mean is (and forgive me because I'm just trying to understand it) it is basically a book about how people are and this is how to live your best life?
Know that your skepticism of Western culture is greatly influenced by the perspective you see in Western media or maybe from your education, I dont know what you are taught. The majority of people, if not interested, dont feel any kind of resentment towards your way of life. It seems to me that often when someone is interested and asks questions or makes observations, jews generally are quick to take a more defensive approach. I dont know if this is a part of jewish culture, but that is the only lets say incomprehensible thing about jews from a non-religious Western person’s point of view.
I only wish that the rest of America had this kind of structure...not necessarily Jewish, but family and home oriented...we have a lot we could learn from this culture....
Jesus is the most high
As a Jewish women I just want to thank you so much for all your videos about us. The positivity in the comments are just amazing thank you to every kind person here!
it is very interesting and i Really Enjoy the warmth within the families. Love from Germany.
Big hugs from Bergamo Italy ✨🤗
Love from the UK ♥️
Love from Canada
beautiful culture Awsome people I had changed my point of view on Jewish people
Wonderful to learn about all the different ways of thinking and communities in the world from this channel. One common goal in everything seems to be peace, care and understanding - absolutely what communities are about.
Frankly as a Muslim from Pakistan I feel very positive about this video and the credit goes to maker too... Content like this can really help to build bridges over indifferences
Dudes gonna heal the planet just by listening to everyone for everyone else.
The voices that scream in the media are the loudest. We're all just normal people.
You worship the same demons....makes sense.
@@Thomas-lg6jx well you must be very careful with words Thomas 😜
You must have a fulfilling life 😊@@Thomas-lg6jx
As a black guy, I just wish we were like the Jews in how they have their family unit and support each other. It's wonderful, an amazing community.
LOL. These are the folks who evicted the father from black families.
@@bluechex7881 Now its today. It can be fixed.
@@bluechex7881 what a stupid way of thinking. If you’re always looking for a group to blame it’s not the group that’s the problem
I agree
@@bluechex7881 Are you saying these folks evicted the father who has black families, so kids with different women? Or you implying these folks are cause of the black fathers who abandon their kids creating all the single moms? Or that these folks caused the father of black families not to pay rent? Come on son.
I have no idea how I, a 53 year old Christian woman from Eastern Kentucky, ended up here but I'm so glad I did. What warm, welcoming people the Hasidic Jews are! I love this !!!
They deny JesusChrist
@@wlkbeastmode-issiap.346 Because they're smart enough to know that we are all God's children and Jesus existed to teach us this, was crucified for giving us the true path to returning to our higher Father and has now been disrespected to the highest degree and had his teachings misused and hidden by the church so they can charge top dollar for your salvation that only you can craft for yourself, not relying on one man who's experienced more than enough grief for all eternity to come save you
@@wlkbeastmode-issiap.346 Who himself was Jewish.
When we listen to others, we will understand them.
@@wlkbeastmode-issiap.346 I think Jesus can handle it. Remember that Paul wrote in the Epistle to the Romans: Christians must not think that they, as wild olive branches grafted onto the cultivated olive tree of Israel, are better than the cultivated branches that grow on that tree naturally. Peace.
As an African American Christian woman, your videos on the Jewish community have been so enlightening and rewarding. 🤔😌
We Christian have Jewish roots.. and the first century to 3rd century Christian had Jewish customs .. and the catholic church took out does tradition and killed most Christian... we need to go back to our roots
As an Black Women you should say....ever saw some White guy calling himself as an "European American? No then you shouldnt either :-)
@@wambooislustigram5789 European Americans know what part of Europe they came from, Italian Americans, Anglo Americans, German Americans etc. African is used because a lot of African Americans want to be connected to their roots as best they can.
@@levantateyora9317 read books from the patrology, you'll find the true history of christianity
@@JoaoPedro-ni6jk I know the truth history.. the problem is wen the catholic church became Christian and killed most Christian and took the name
As a non jewish and non religious person I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary and thank Peter and all the families who allowed him ( and us ) into their homes and communities.
This documentary answered a lot of questions I'd had rattling around in my head for years.
Thank you to everyone involved
This and the Omish series actually made me think about my own life, decisions, morals, etc. It makes me want to be a better person. Wow, God really works in mysterious ways.
I'm Jewish and I love visiting lancaster
Check out Islam and make a prayer in your heart to Allah that if Islam is the Creator’s chosen religion that He may guide you !
@@NK-bc5xw Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven and the only way to salvation. He’s the only one who’s alive while Mohammed is dead, talk to him and see. He will reveal himself to you. Allah can’t even enter his own creation what makes you think he can save you from your sins?
The replies on this comment are literally a Jew a Christian and a Muslim walking into a bar lol. It really reflects how the other 2 Abrahamic religions preach and convert yet judaism doesnt
@@Arctic_Jew We would like to inform you about tour cars extended warrenty
As a Muslim watching this, this was very great to learn about their lifestyle, much respect
THANK YOU! i LEARNED AOT MYSELF..VERY INSPIRING
There are many similarities between this and Islam in a way.. The rules , the boundaries , having Torah/Quran as a guide book , staying away from your wife during her period. That's very interesting
@J T HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
🤓🤓🤓 This was honestly beautiful. I was raised and born in Williamsburg Brooklyn. My father a private cab driver for the jews, and i have met jews in person many times over. Amazing people they are and i didn't know much of their way of thinking. But thanks to this channel and documentary this has been an enlightening experience for me. Wow truely something so opposite and positive from the negative things people say. People fear a community when they don't understand it. Thanks for the content keep it up. From brooklyn with love! 🤓
It's did show me how much similar they are to Islam.
That little boy in the previous video still has me choked up for how humble he was
Yes! I now find myself saying "Wow, God!" when I look up my street and see the beautiful mountains, or look into my son's eyes. Appreciation for everything, I was reminded of this by that young man.
Yeah I agree!! That kid was sharp...so was the young woman!!
he is amazing. there is a light in his soul that warms my heart.
John Kelly Also a little brainwashed
His thought about life was so dope.
I’m half jewish, so to speak, and I live in a neighborhood outside of Philadelphia that has very large orthodox and Hasidic population. It really is super beautiful to watch. The people in apartment next door do all of their religious traditions in their backyard. I listen to their singing often. It’s very relaxing. You almost feel very protective of them. Watching them walk up and down the street with their big families!
Is your mothe for father Jewish? If it’s your mother, then you are Jewish.
Bala or Elkins Park?
That sounds beautiful 🙏
honestly well done. You really portrayed us accurately. We are so often misrepresented. Thank you
You portray yourselves phenomenally, some frank soul searching is leading me towards Judaism. One day i'd love to visit a community and potentially speak with a conversion sponsor.
He did a good job. You have a fascinating culture. God bless.
May God bless you and your people. I feel a kinship to you.
@@InductedMist didnt you hear what shloime said?? its a family, ethnically bound. you arent part of it
I find the tradition and cultural very interesting. I come from a boring background. 😊 but I find it hard to wrap my head around someone not liking someone because of their religion. I'm a Christian and we don't have the exact same beliefs but we both believe in God. My interest in your culture is not to criticize or make fun of but to understand. It's a beautiful culture.
I m Muslim from Morocco 🇲🇦, and I really love you my cousins

Jews and Muslims have much in common👍

The only horrible thing about this videos is that they are too short, I love this series, sending love from Melbourne, Australia.
True
You mean the videos, not the Jews, right? (:
@@royal7800 yes that's what I meant.
@@royal7800 🤣🤣im Jewish btw, that's a good one!

(Joking, of course)
All the respect, Peter. This is journalism. This is the positive point of the UA-cam platform. Well done… kol ha’Kavod.
I love Chabad so much. Honestly they’ve played such a massive role in my life and really helped me stay in touch with my Judaism
Am Catholic. Loved this series am jealous (in a good way) of their sense of community I wish the world would go back to this.
Here here!
But they are not above the law
You don’t have a wedding with 7,000 people there during this time no 1was Social distancing or wore any masks if we have to wear masks and social distance so do they
It's good and bad, there's a strong sense of community which is the good, but the bad is it made people more racist
@@BecomingAMan That's a very relaxed meaning of racism. I've been invited to Shabbat meals in CH with Moroccan Jews and Taimani Jews and they're pretty dark skinned.
Well done, I'm a brother living in Brooklyn, never had an issue with a Jewish person while living in New York for over 15 years. Nice to take a peek into their world. Keep up the great cultural sensitization work.
good man.
Still doesn’t mean they like you. They actually cannot stand black people.
@@robertdimarzio4490 don't generalize, man.
@@robertdimarzio4490 read "Moses and Monotheism" by Sigmund Freud. When it comes to not being liked by a whole group of people - I'm always suspicious as to the validity of a statement like that yet there may be some truth to what you say. I guess I'm used to being hated to the extent that it doesn't impact me the same way it might you: I'm more concerned with 'why' people hate, where did it come from?
@@yurichtube1162 Exactly, right!
Absolutely beautiful series. What a wonderful and textured community. Complex but actually very simple at the same time. Happiness
I love how beautifully you portrayed this community, culture and religion in this series. I was particularly impressed by how mature and articulate the younger participants were!
Coming from Williamsburg Brooklyn, born and raised, I greatly appreciate this. I lived in Boro Park also for 7 years. Jews are not what people make them out to be. I love their way of life.
Same
They are wonderful people . I also grew up around them . Wise and respectful , they contributed to my golden childhood and platinum youthood
African americans with slave descendancy are the real jews.the bible says the hebrew israelites were sold to the enemy and were transported in cargo slave ships.this never happened to the white man that calls himself a jew
Imagine every 6 days we all had thanksgiving & we focused our time in that moment not to be self centered but, to give & be with ones family with no outside noise. Powerful.
Well said. I’m so grateful that as a Jew I was raised this way. Judaism is beautiful.
@@smsandel I am not a Jew but from 2017 I have been observing Torah. I was a Seventh-day Adventist before this. Their aren't many Jews in my country because I live in Jamaica.
I read Complete Jewish bible and Orthodox Jewish Bible.
Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy. The 10 commandments aren't just for Judah, but all tribes written on the gates of Kingdom come. :)
We'd be fat. Fatter than we already are.
Not in America 😃👍
I honestly had pent up some anti semetic ideas in my head over the years and this exposure to the people and culture has really re-routed my view. I think id have like to be born into this community , it seems wonderful.
As a Jew, I appreciate yo honesty
Where did those ideas come from? What where they?
@@georgemulford2910 Mainly the Palestein - Israel conflict. I have come to realise just like every group you will have extremists and then just the regular everyday good people who want nothing to do with harming others.
@@nia.d3356 the Jewish people is one thing. The state of Israel is another.
Sure hope you’re not female
I am a Christian and I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood. Never had any issues growing up, only help, kindness and a lot of fun. Advice and help I got from my Jewish friends aided me greatly in life in many ways.
i am an Israeli seqular jew, and even for me it was very educating. THANKS SANTENELLO!
How well spoken they are, not a cuss word, no 'ums' or 'u know like's, A joy to watch. Thinking of you Jeff 👍

its shamefull to speak bad languge in jewdism ....by the way we say all "lashon arah lo medaber helaei" its mean "bad languge not speaking to me" and we try all day not to say bad words and not only that its mean also not speak on other people and shame there name bihind they back its kind of bad luck fot us if we do ...
You just made me realize how ill speaking I am 😂 but you’re spot on with this community. SO well spoken and many many other positive attributes
From a Louisiana boy, a spiritual but not religious man who knows nothing about life.... every person I saw in this community was so wise and balanced, we need that in the world! Give thanks for sharing your beautiful way of life!
Loved this series.
I’d never met a Jewish person till I was 25 and went to work at a Jewish summer camp. Had a great time, learned a lot and found them extremely nice.
Let’s take a moment and appreciate how beautiful his house is
Lol no taxes!! If I convert my house to part get together spot. I to can build a beautiful home.

I agree!
That's because his only agenda is to educate (himself and us) - the media needs to sway you one way or the other and slants it to appease their advertisers. Peter's Amish series is fantastic as well.
I love this video. I grew up in Crown Heights and it’s nice to learn more about my neighbors and their beautiful culture!
my family went to Switzerland in 94 I was about 6 years old, it was very hard to socialize with swiss people or people who live here in general.. the only guy who reached a hand to me when everybody was discriminating me was a Jewish guy... Thank u Johnny thank you Levi family!
Thank you for doing this. I am not Chassidish, but I am an Orthodox Jew and I live in Brooklyn. My family thinks I’m crazy for having become religious in my 30’s. They don’t understand what this world is like from the inside. They only know the Secular way of life. They don’t understand that we really are like a big family. If I’m in trouble, I can literally approach any Religious Jew around me to ask for help, and they will stop what they are doing and help me, as I would for them. We have our issues, like all people do. No one individual is perfect. No group is perfect. But our mission is to strive to improve ourselves, improve our world, and behave how Hashem wants us to behave. It’s so nice to finally see something in the media that doesn’t paint us as anti-social monsters.
Chazak V’ematz!
Beautifully stated!
Beautifully said!
I come from a secular Italian Jewish family, we're proudly secular, proudly Italian and most importantly proudly Jewish. My uncle became Chabad when he was 20 (he's now 60) and of course it was strange in the beginning for my grandparents, but first they accepted it, then they understood, finally they rejoyced. We don't need the same nusach or the same beliefs to love each other, that's the beauty of Judaism! Chazak Ve'emats
If it brings you joy and peace, it's right for you. That's not crazy. It's beautiful to see someone moving closer to God.
As a Muslim I really appreciate how jewish live their life and how they value their family
We need to take a few more lessons from bani Israel tbh. We should also do Sabbath style, no smart phone no computer no electric, and spend time with family/our children.
@raven's son bani Israel is the name of the nation that contains 12 tribes. Yahud is only one tribe “Judah”
@raven's son you can’t rewrite history to suit what you think. 🤣 Jesus wasn’t even apart of tribe of judah.
@@temptemp4174 yep. As a chasidic Jew myself, sabbath is a taste of heaven when your cut off from the world and your free to focus on connecting to God and being with your family
raven's son means sons of Israel
My wife was raised Jewish and this episode brought memories of when we were younger.
I cannot stop watching these videos on Hasidic Judaism! What an incredible life! I’m Christian, and have been my whole life, and the love, community, and holiness found here in unmeasurable! Thank you for the REAL view on how Jews live and breathe! Shalom!
As someone from the neighborhood right next to Crown Heights, specifically Bed-Stuy, I’ve always seen these people around and genuinely wanted to know more about them. Your three episodes answered a lot of the questions that I’ve had for decades.
I'm about 4 zip codes away, sometimes I walk the area n sometimes wonder if they would embrace my HELLO. I'm hesitant, due to what if my smile/hello isn't welcomed.
Being a gentile, I'm open-minded to others lifestyle. Interesting n cool vid. (1 day I'll say HELLO)
Damian, you talk about the Lubavitch neighborhood. Of course they would answer you with a smile. They built the whole movement around outreach. It's a cool place.
These people?
Same.
@@drinkwatereatmelons7048 I think there were tours given at 770 Eastern Parkway. pre covid, as a public invitation to understand the Lubavitcher community.. ..you might want to inquire if they are still being given..
I am not a Jew, but I feel a lot of us were more like this in the old days. I remember we had Saturday or Sunday dinner with my grandparents EVERY week. We didn't have cell phones and we had to put video games away and we just were together. All the neighbors knew each other on the block and neighboring blocks. People weren't afraid.
So true grew up in NYC when we played in the streets. Neighborhoods were safe and we stayed in groups. So sad children live in front of a screen hardly socialize.
@@sandragregg9079 Yup. I'm from Chicago. I grew up right on the cusp of both worlds. I can still remember a time as a little boy in the 80s when the only computers I saw were on tv or in movies. No cellphones no nothin'. Walk to the library, ride your bike around, go door to door with your cousin or brother and ask if every kid on the block, and the next block and the next block could come out and play. By the end of it we'd have 20 kids.
Those were days we didn't know EVERYTHING (like now) about things , and , what we did know was good enough to live. . . even though those days make it difficult to remember as life was then easier , it's contribution to the world we now live in is huge
@@Bianca-sw5id The funny thing is, despite everything we still live in the most peaceful time in history.
@@The_Gallowglass I don't know about that , in South Africa our electricity goes off at five pm and stays off all night to give criminals a chance to rob us , and our police department do nothing unless you have gone to another department first and got a load of documents to give them so they can take their time helping you in time you have to face being bullied by others. The stress of the kind of life we are all trying to cope with is extremely harmful to our health , no matter where you are living in the World the domino effect is happening and you will be effected or watch someone be effected. . . I respect Judaism ✡️ one hundred percent , that is where the truth about life is
I have to tell you, man, I love your videos. I just discovered them today, and I've spent hours glued to my TV. This 3 part series makes me so happy. I'm so grateful to learn about the Hasidic jews from the inside. I'd love to visit the neighbourhood.
Thank you, Peter
♥ So, so beautiful, Peter ♥ Thank you for sharing this with all of us and for all the Hasidic families who opened their hearts and homes, it was such a moving, loving experience to visit. I have only ever watched a Sabbath prayer in a movie (Fiddler On The Roof) years ago and I distinctly recall how incredibly beautiful the sound of it was that it brought tears to my eyes. And now, after watching this three part series, I have an deeper affection and appreciation for our Hasidic brothers. I learned SO MUCH from these episodes -- really it made me fall in love with the Hasidic community. ♥
Never heard a relationship between a man and a woman explained this way before. I have a new found respect and appreciation for this culture.
As a jew im in shocked because that's what we live our life that way for 3000 years lol
As a woman, I am all for the whole post period spa thing. The man doesn't pressure the wife for sex and let's her deal with her period, cramps, bloating on her own. And then they meet up afterwards. Thank you so much for making these videos and thank you to everyone who participates. You are appreciated. ❤
Just to add- they don't just "meet up" after. They're still together the 2 off weeks, just without any contact. More time to focus on the emotional side, talking, etc.
The problem is that orthodox Jewish women have 10-15 kids, no matter if they want it or not. That is just too hard to handle!
@@Nigrol750 This isn't exactly true. Yes, there are families that have over 10, but even in the hassidic world, the average is around 7.
Now I'm not hassidic, so I can only speak for the orthodox world. There, women aren't forced to have any large # of kids. The biblical command is only to have 1 boy and 1 girl, so the rules are ore strict until that point is reached. But every child after that is still a huge mitzva, so having big families is definitely encouraged. In many cases, the woman wants to have a big family as well (sometimes even more so than the husband). There are also exceptions made for women who can't handle at the time for physical/emotional reasons.
I think many woman don't want to engage during their monthly, but that doesn't mean they don't still want or need affection from their spouse. I don't like that they label the woman as "unpure" during this time. It places a connotation that because a woman has menstruation it makes her bad. Why couldn't a husband hug his wife everyday?
If he don’t get it at home, he’ll get it somewhere.
Just finished watching this 3rd episode and really enjoyed getting to know a bit more about this community! I am a woman, raised in Catholicism, and I love seeking out the positive and the good in life every day. I found these people to be very honest and genuine in how they speak of their faith and beliefs. While I might not share all of them, I have a great respect for them and their way of life. By nature, they tend to be more isolated from the outside world, and so I thank the participants who shared a bit of their lives with us. They seem kind and loving and I admire them.
Thank you Peter and all the members of the Jewish community for taking the time & allowing us the privileged access in to your everyday lives, these kind of efforts help everyone understand and appreciate everyone better. Understanding leads to peace and harmony.

That two weeks of abstention from physical contact between spouses each month, I gotta say, that's some genius level stuff right there for keeping the attraction in a marriage.
And there's a little biology at play. She's ritually impure for two weeks. That sets her up for being cleansed at the mikveh, right about at ovulation time. He's prohibited from masturbation, so two weeks w/o sex guarantees a high volume/sperm count. Put those together, shazam! Lots of little Orthodox babies! I think Moses knew what he was doing, right there. LOL
@@marcellacruser951 Just to clarify- G-d, not Moses. Moses gave over G-d's word
@@rodgrodg4hk269 He did say so, yes.
Doubt It keeps the attraction alive. Looking at porn while in a relationship kills attraction for your wife...agree. Which most religions are against. I think referring to a woman being "unpure" is sad. To make a person feel that they are in some way "damaged" or unlovable because they menstrate is not right.
@@susancraigo8218 that’s the thing you misunderstand, being “impure” is in no way considered being damaged, if you want I can give you a whole explanation behind it. Either way it happens to men and women for all types of things
I'm an atheist and probably will never be religious and never was, but the way these Jews (and many other religious people) live makes a lot of sense and is probably healthier than most people's lives.

This has been a blessing for me. Living in a farming community away from any city where I might cross paths with these folks makes a video such as this very informative and for me...heart warming.
This whole jewish series was really beautiful
I love that they not only explain everything, but they say it with such passion and joy. Truly a pleasure to learn
Rivty is a beautiful and intelligent young lady. Very well spoken. Thank you all for sharing your time and life!
Agreed she’s great
She so simply yet eloquently explained her culture... so refreshing!
I agree also.

These videos are amazing. Being from Ireland I've never met a Jewish person that I know of and had a very limited understanding of them. What an amazing community they really look out for one another and don't force their opinions on others. We could learn alot from these people. I wish we could live in a world where we respect eachother like this and don't push our opinions and ideologies on eachother.
Thank you so much for this series and the series with the Amish. They are both truly eye opening and I have gained so much respect and appreciation for both cultures that I and so many others do not understand. I hope you can find the time to add to each. There are so many videos showing violence and the ugly side of humanity that these two series bring a warmth to my heart.
I am a Muslim and I always wanted to know more about our Jewish brethren. I am really surprised how similar we are in how we do things and in our thinking! Given this, I really don't understand why our communities are not closer. Thank you so much for these videos, I loved watching and learning from them.
True bro, same here.
We used to be a tight community bro, this has changed just over the last couple decades. My look on it its because of the portrayel of each other on media.
The Evil One wants all Believers and lovers of the Holy One to be divided and hate each other, and preferably to have them do so 'in the name of' The Holy One. If we cultivate our knowledge of the Holy One within ourselves, we will not be deceived.
Media is the evil reason. Media that shows us what top politicians around the world want us to see.
I know why...
This series has been absolutely fascinating, such wonderful people and so welcoming and open, respect, Shalom now has true meaning.
Yah but you suposedly you cannot become a "jew" but you could follow moses and become a Muslim...

After watching these three episodes, I don't know why but I got emotional. I guess deep down I crave a loving peaceful community.
Just to clarify what the rabbi said about "impurity". This is not something demeaning to mean that a woman is physically unclean from her period. It is a spiritual impurity, that stems from the loss of potential life symbolized by a woman's period. When a Jewish couple is intimate, it is in a holy union that is full of life and potential of life. When she dips in the water, it is not to clean off physical dirt, it is to be exposed to the source of life, water, and to become ritually pure through the waters.
The reason she first bathes before dipping in the mikvah is to remove any intervening substances that might be between herself and the water of the ritual bath that are connected to a natural water source.
This is an example of one of our mitzvot that we don't fully understand the reason for and still we do. Even though we do not understand it, couples find that this custom brings deep richness, beauty, and passion that was not in their marriage beforehand. Give it a try and see for yourself 😉
Beautifully filmed, I'm Jewish and I love how you've jumped right in to try and learn about our religion and culture in so many different levels. Thank you for showing the world the real truth about orthodox Jews. Keep filming
Im an RN and worked for many hospitals but decided to go into privatized Addiction treatment ctrs as an addiction Rn the most generous kind owners and bosses I’ve ever had were the orthodox owners and company i worked for... ive since moved on due to moving but to this day i still feel they were the best to their staff employees and overall were great!!! Cannot say anything bad about this community always blessings ✨💫🌙🦋
Wow that's so nice of u to say that!
And that says a lot about them. Very nice.

This is probably the best videos/episodes on UA-cam. It has bought people together to understand each others and will help in strength the unity.
I love how the men will just pray when they feel to, and it's not a strange thing. Beautiful.
Wow this has been incredible to watch! As a Muslim living in the UAE this has been so eye opening! Thank you.
I feel the same way
Eye-opening hell - in the way that they are oppressing women just like you do? That they have the women so brainwashed that they think the oppression is a nice thing?
@@robertdimarzio4490 I happen to be a Jew by birth, and agree with you ..but not about using the word 'hell' in vain, it means weeping forever for rejecting the Moshiach Yeshua/Messiah Jesus forgiveness and salvation with His friendship....as predicted we would do in Isaiah chapter 53..We will despise and reject him...as he lays down his life as a lamb for our sins...dying with the wicked
and buried with the rich
@Jennifer mills Yes! Conservative Christian women have to deal with the same liberal stereotypes and hate. They hate that we are happy so they call us oppressed.
On that note, let us condemn Hamas killing Israelis
This was so intresting. The gentleman who explained marriage relationships is charming and well spoken. I liked learning from him about intimate relationships between Husband and Wife. It is a very respectful and loving practice.
How are you doing 😊😊☺️☺️
I’ve had the pleasure of watching several of these episodes and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. Thanks so much!
I was raised as a reform jew in NJ. I 've been to Israel for months at a time, I've lived in Williamsburg. I'm an adult now and I've never once had any understanding of the hassidic jews until viewing this. In fact, I feared the hassidic jews and in hindsight, think I was taught to fear the hassidic jews by the reform jews. Thank you so much for creating this. It was very enlightening.
I'm a mexican/American Christian & yo because of these 3 videos I have nothing but love & respect for jews... That lil boy in the 2nd video is sooo wise for his young age I just wanted to shake his hand & call him my brotha... Thanks for these videos and these great loving people.. One love God bless you all..

Thank you for making these videos. A couple of clarifications: what the guy at the end was saying about DNA testing and "matches," that's not what he meant. They're testing for carriers of certain genetic diseases that developed among some European Jewish groups because they lived in segregated communities for centuries. They want to make sure that both members of a couple aren't carrying mutations that might result in children who have these illnesses (for example, one is called Tay-Sachs disease).
Another point: when the guy was describing the rules around married couples, he talked about women being impure if they're menstruating. The word "impure" means *ritually* impure, not impure like they're dirty. Also, men are also considered ritually impure if they have a seminal emission. They also have to do certain rituals to remove ritual impurity (according to their belief).
I don't know why he said that women who go to the monthly mikveh (it's not a "spa," but some mikvehs are very nicely appointed) spend an hour soaking before they do the ritual bath. Untrue. A woman takes a shower, washes very well to remove any possible barrier between herself and the water in the ritual bath. Then she goes to the small ritual pool, just one at a time with a female attendant, and does the ritual (people get a towel to wrap themselves in). It's all very respectful and private. I tried it years ago, and it's like women's ritual magic, it's actually very special.
It might be because they specifically do that but some people hold that a shower is acceptable as a mikvah because it still has natural rain water
Tested for what?incest,uncles and neices, first cousins?
@Da Ca You seriously felt the need to comment something like this on a video about inclusion and acceptance ? Settle down, your insecurity is showing...
@Da Ca I think that is really what he was talking about. You can't live in a society like theirs not eventually destroy the gene pool.
@Da Ca it is to avoid matches (marriages) in which both persons have hereditary diseases which are genetically carried in Ashkenazi Jewish population due to 10 million people descending from a population of ~350 people in the Middle Ages
Growing up in a tight Italian Catholic Family, we were very serious about Sundays. For nearly 20 years I would go to church, then the whole family would spend the rest of the day at my grandparents, feast, and stay til night. Sounds very similar to what's going on in this video.
I love learning about Jewish people/culture. It’s crazy how well preserved things have been. They have these obvious and clear connections in their worship and culture that date back thousands of years. At the same time, you can see the unique changes that have taken place due to time, relocation, oppression, or modernization and much more. Thanks for the videos. And thanks to Shloime for initiating this dialogue and openness
😂 Naftali is so funny and l love his spirit. When he started whispering explaining the relationship between man and woman is hilarious
Much respect to him.
The reason is so the kids wouldn't hear. We don't discuss sexual relations in front of kids.
He worded it beautifully.

This is my first time watching your channel. I want to thank you for producing a respectful, informative and sensitive series about chassidic Jews. As an Orthodox Jew (not chassidic and grew up conservative), there is in general such a negative representation in the media and unfortunately it affects all Jews. When there is a documentary such as yours which is informative and respectful it affects all Jews positively, especially during a time of rising antisemitism. So really thank you 😊
Your three Hasidic episodes were filled with profound wisdom! Thank You. By the way, I have two computer screens; one with your UA-cam channel, and on the other screen, I write notes on what stands out to me in your channel. The notes are there to push me to write out (flesh out) and know more fully. I am able to express more clearly in my words. I am able to polish my thoughts (faith, theology, philosophy) and then integrate them into my life.
I'm glad you got something out of those episodes. Thank you. They were quite an adventure making them. I slept well those nights.
Incredible video. It’s so humanizing to see these sorts of people talking and interacting with the world. So often we see those who look and act different than us as a whole different alien species, often because we only see them in encyclopedia pictures, or at best in documentaries where their words subtitled. Sharing a spoken language can bring you closer to empathizing with even those most opposed to your lifestyle and morals
Brought tears to my eyes when the guy talked about his wife being like a new bride that you just married every month when they come back together after an abstinent period. What a beautiful thing. There's so much Beauty in relationships that is missed out on in the rushed and selfish way that they are conducted in modern culture. I'm a little jealous of this man's wife.
Yeah you like the part where he called periods “times of impurity”? That’s messed up
Jealous that she's not getting touched because she is seen as dirty? It's a disgusting attitude towards women.
@@ag4444 dirty? It's not dirt. It's Tuma which is its own category
@@ag4444 She is considered ritually impure, meaning for having sex. She is not dirty. This is a misinterpretation. But you are welcome to think what you want. Being Hassidic, his first language is Hebrew or yiddish, this is how he expresses that part of his world. It is not a "world view" meaning that all women are disgusting. It's just a subtlety in language that gets lost due to cultural and language differences.
@@be7956 true that 👍🤔😉
Thanks for the pure truth! I always have love for Jewish community. They went through a lot throughout history, but they are still standing united. God bless the Jewish community where ever they are. ❤

Take the Tube up to Golders Green or Hendon one weekday and walk around. Have a meal in a kosher restaurant (when we can again). It is just like Brooklyn!
And there is another series about the community in Manchester that is worth a watch if you haven't seen it. It will show you the diversity of the Orthodox Jewish community, which is something that I don't think he has realized exists yet. Chassidim are easy to pick out of a crowd. Other Orthodox Jews blend in more. Check out the show (sorry I can't think of the name--I will look for it if you are interested tho. Just let me know!)

The world has A LOT to learn from them. So much respect.
As an Armenian I admire the collectivist mentality Jews have. I wish we had more of that.
The globalists prohibit all competing groups from having in-group preference by calling racism. They only allow it for themselves.
It's really ingrained in our culture. It's because of the idea that am Yisrael (the Jewish people) are one. And that we must help each other.

This was fabulous!!!! I thank everyone involved in this!
