I TOOK MY PARENTS TO TURKEY AND IT WAS AMAZING! 🇹🇷
This was our 5th big international trip together, but it’s their first Muslim-majority country. Being Jewish, I knew that it would be an eye-opener for them, and it certainly was.
We were led by our local Turkish friend, Anil - starting in Istanbul, then heading down South to Antakya, Gaziantep, Kahramanmaraş, and Kilis (on the Syrian border).
From the mouth-watering cuisine to the ancient historical sites and everything in between - Turkey is just FANTASTIC (seriously, one of my favorite countries in the world) and it was special to experience it alongside my Mom and Dad. I think that this was my favorite trip yet with my parents.
And most importantly, they now have a different perspective on Muslims and Islamic culture!!! They can fully understand that Jews and Muslims are SO similar, and that’s a beautiful thing :)

Being Jewish I can certainly understand fear of going to a Muslim country but I absolutely love that you are trying to break down stereotypes and open peoples eyes to acceptance of other cultures in the Middle East and south Eastern Europe. Especially with the release date being 9/11. I feel anti Muslim sentiments are incredibly high, especially among Jews. I sincerely thank you for trying to open the eyes of people as Islamic cultures are so incredibly cool and I’m so grateful I was exposed to such cultures as a Jew and not kept from them like so many others are!
The people are everywhere friendly
With any religion or race always is the meain problem is politics
Muslim majority countries like Turkey and Azerbaijan are pretty safe for both Jewish visitors and their own Jewish minorities
i’m muslim and my best friend is jewish she’s like my real sister to me we should open our hearts together and eyes stupid political divided us we’re all human beings who want peace everywhere we are ♥️🤲🏽 peace be with you all

it was the church of the virgin mary before it turned into the holy wisdom mosque. that is what I heard but not sure.

antioch was my favorite travel destination and now it's gone :(
wow so sad to learn this
Just by looking at his parents we can tell they're good , civilised humans before anything else. It's easy to see they've a heart of a gold as a bright shining, beautiful aura coming off their faces.
I would love to visit Turkey, everything looks so beautiful and the food!! I love pistachios, so I can just imagine how delicious everything is
Hardly means they were barely hit.

Yes both his parents look kinda Turkish or Iranian.
Istanbul is multi religious society, literally there are ancient synagogues and they are very protected. Turkish people are the most tolerant multi religious people I have seen. Love them!
Ottomans were our ancestors + secularism is literally in our constitution. So it's kind of natural.
Thanks for kind comment :)
They really are...
@@serhafiye7046 i love the turkish people! in berlin we have a big turkish community. we have a district called kreuzberg and a part of that is called ,, klein-istanbul'' which translates to small istanbul. I grew up with turkish friends here and it's really interesting to see how they differentiate in beliefs (most were secular) but their hospitality is always the same.
But most are Muslims, Turkish atheists always argue to me about this by saying the new generation doesn’t practice Islam. But I’ve been there and when I went to the mosque there were many teenagers and kids with their parents praying for Jummah. But yes it is multicultural but most Turkish people are Muslim.
@@gabrielket4673 Top note: Ok, this comment turned to a lesson 😂 It wasn't my intention sorry haha
//////
Of course, Turkey is an islamic country by history and demography. It's just, Ataturk said in ( 1920-30's) "Western world improved so much with secular laws, let's copy it". We did it for the sake of surviving. It was a wise choice because:
1. While Western countries boasting about "how they made Turks 'western' and defeated their once biggest enemy", we found enough space to breathe. A breath that will enable us to stand up after 100 years (now).
2. In fact, non-muslims were living in so much better conditions in Ottomans. Imagine, Ottoman was a religion based country, in a world where Christians are winners.
Yes, Ataturk. Smart man.
////////
After the internet era, (like every country) our culture and religion attacked (example: Netflix.) Nowadays, only one rich guy can spread his ideas thanks to the internet. So atheists thought they are now powerful enough and took advantage of the secularism law.
Propaganda news says "Erdogan is a dictator!" etc. No. He is not. I have never been abroad but it's safe to say Turkey is really a free country. To the point that sometimes i'm seeing a news and saying "Oh no this couldn't be Turkey". And the speaker says "France", "USA", "Indonesia" etc...
Last words: There is an internal fight in Turkey about culture and religion but it's none of your concern. Actually, it's better for you 😂 Just take your popcorn and watch it. Either way we are not losing our hospitality anyways.
Mama is so sweet, she's excited for everyone and wants to interact with everyone i love her ❤️
This video is so wholesome. Clearly a son thats taking his parents out of their comfort zone, and showing them what people is really like in real life, and not thru the MSM
It's so great seeing Jews going to a Muslim country!! I am Jewish myself, went to an Orthodox school from 3 years old to 8th grade, and go to Shul (Synagogue) almost every Saturday. At school I meet and make many Muslim friends, I find I connect to them even better than I connect to Christians (even though the general perception is that because I'm Jewish I would stay far away from Muslims). I'm also middle eastern Jewish, my family comes from Halab (Aleppo) and Maser (Egypt), so I see some of the so similar practices we both have, and I even eat the same foods and have the same sort of culture as Muslims (and even both use Arabic, my family uses some, not predominantly, but phrases are said very commonly), so I really see how compatible we are. My family has stories of when they were in the middle east (my family had to leave in the like late 40s early 50s) about everyone buying their meet from the same butchers (Halal and Kosher both have slaughtering rules), and people being friendly and existing together. Shalom Aleichem, Salaam Aleikum ✌
That makes total sense cause Islam is far more similar to Judaism than Christianity is.
Accept shalom from indian muslim brother... 🥰

I'm of Turkish descent and half my family is Jewish. They've lived in İstanbul since the Spanish inquisition. I understand why Jewish people may be fearful, but a city like İstanbul has been multicultural and multifaithed for a long time. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves.
@Milošević in hell it was until 1924
The Christians prosecuted Jews in Spain or wherever
Muslims always gave them refuge
Thus Palestine became Israel

Lilly, They are typical Americans! How people could know they are Jewish? And all Americans think all Muslim countries are dangerous and they hate Jewish people, and they are killing Jewish people in Muslim countries:)) I remember once I was in Istanbul during a dinner with two American and one Canadian lady one of the American ladies asked me: Is Istanbul safe for Americans? I said no, they are hunting Americans with their M16s in the streets. I was just laughing. I told her, please calm down. Of course, it is safe, look you are eating and drinking alcohol in a restaurant, and it is an outdoor restaurant. This is different from than UAE. She was living in UAE at this moment, and in UAE, you can drink outside of the hotels, but in Istanbul, even in Ramadan, you can drink alcohol during the day outside restaurants.
My parents are very wary of different cultures, especially after 9/11, so seeing you paint these cultures in a positive light is refreshing. You are living my dream (I'm an anthropology student who's fascinated by other cultures, especially middle eastern)
Your Mother saying “Gunaydin“ non stop is EVERYTHING to me ! 😂❤ Your parents seem sooo HAPPY 😍 we can feel much they enjoyed it and THE FOOD……😱😂😂😍❤️ I WANT TO GO THERE SO BADLY !

I loved how your family was open to trying everything, including your father's accident with hot peppers (poor him).

Wow, Drew, what a wonderful trip it seems you had! So happy that you, and your parents, were able to experience this before the earthquakes. I thank you for showing your parents what a wonderful country Turkiye is, and how safe and inexpensive it is.
your parents are cool... I was in Istanbul on September 11, 2001 with my family. We were New Yorkers, we were nervous and scared and didn't know exactly what was happening. The Turkish people treated us with compassion and respect. Beautiful people and country.

@DEAR HUMAN BEINGS. haters like you don't belong to these kind of comment sections where most people try to bridge gaps. What kind of fuck is this thing of being so called ex-Muslim. Have you ever seen any ex-hindu, jew, Christian etc etc. Why you always need to wear this shit on yourself. You left Islam and we don't care but you need to stop spreading hatred on all kinds of places. Go and find some anti-islam page and vomit your frustration there.
@Niro have u read abt Islam? Even a little? Coz I'm a born muslim and what u are saying is totally wrong. Why do u think Islam is not positive when all muslims countries people visit, they say how hospitable we are? It is positive coz that's why Islam teaches us.

As an Israeli Jew, when I was little I went for a walk in a place that is considered (by me by many people) to be the scariest place that a person like me can walk - Area A in the West Bank. I must say that everyone was very nice, people were surprised that a blond Hebrew-speaking boy was traveling in such a place - but everyone was really amazing! I hope that one day everyone will be able to travel without worries, Jews and Palestinians. The worst conflict is a frozen conflict, it's better to focus on finding solutions.

Turkiye is tolerant of Jews into Christians and other nations. We don't like Zionism. Jews are human beings just like us. When they were expelled from Spain and central Europe, the Turkish nation took them to their own country.
Why do Jewish ppl in comments say i used to fear or stay away from Turkey, does this have anything to do with history or just because its a muslim majority country
You are ungrateful..you should fear germany and europeans as they killed 5 million jewish..we welcomed jewish from spain because spain kingdom deported jewish to Ottoman empire
Are you guys for real? Turkey has been harboring Christians and Jews for centuries. We’ve even saved Jews from the Nazis. We also have synagogues and a Jewish community in Istanbul. I hate when westerners go to places in south Turkey and think every single one of those people are Turks. The niqab wearing women and the young girls wearing headscarves are not Turkish, they’re Syrian refugees. More Syrians live in some cities there than actual Turks. Most Turks live in the western region. Thanks to the EU deal, our country has turned into a refugee dump.
You guys are so cute, so kind im glad you came and show the real Turkish life to a huge crowd. Hope you come back again.

@@igal1907 are you living in turkey??
@@irondome3552 There is a whole Jewish community in Turkey, especially Istanbul. Their population is definitely less than Muslims, but they are one of the biggest religious minorities.

Hi from Dutch-Turk :D I miss visiting Turkey too it's been a few years sigh...
Your mum is so sweet. I loved her reactions, just beautiful
Aw. Your parents are so cute. Your mom is the sweetest, I 💜 that she’s so open minded. I need to borrow them for the holidays.
Istanbul is a great place to visit.... And truly unique in many ways.. Cotton candy skies.. Yummy food.. Fish sandwiches 😍.. And a rich history ... It has the capacity within it to change the way you view the Muslim world forever, especially the way they care for the animals...its definitely a lesson the rest of the world must learn from Turkiye.....It will warm your heart ❤️❤️❤️.. . I'm soo happy you invited them.. 💜🌹👍
You are telling the truth. Animals can be in hospitals, markets, schools, transportation vehicles in Turkey. During my university years, we used to study in class with cats and dogs. 💕 In fact, this tradition is inherited from our ancestors. During the OTTOMAN Empire, cats and dogs were seen as neighbors. Birdhouses were built on the roofs of government buildings. Animals and women are given great importance in Islam. ❤
@Adele Avril do you live in Turkiye... Because if you don't.... Your comment has no merit...and yes I do live here... And I disgusted by your comments... People like you make this world an ugly place
@Adele Avril What kind of ignorant are you? We are currently reading this comment with my cat that I keep at home. I have cats that I feed outside. I also feed the birds. I leave food for the birds by the window. I have cared for and treated several birds and cats that have been sick in my home before. Of course we found them on the street too. I only talked about myself, think again, I did not tell about the goodness of my family and the people around me. There are millions of animal lovers like me and much better in Türkiye. If we see someone harming a living thing, we either punish that person or hand them over to the police. Cats and dogs are always waiting in our butcher, doner and restaurant areas and the shop owners feed them. Even in front of the pharmacy, there is a bowl of food and water. We do this because we love it. We value animals. They are the silent beings of God. It's so ignorant of you to talk without knowing us in general. There are good and bad people in every country in the world. so don't slander our country because of a few unscrupulous people, don't talk in general. We dont kill animals by putting them to sleep after a certain period of time like other countries. We feed them in the shelter and try to adopt them. Turkish people are very warm-blooded, compassionate and hospitable people. Get to know us correctly. Consider the value of animals while guests are very valuable with us.
@Adele Avril Yabancılara özel ülkeyi kötülemek için ülkenin düşmanıymış ve hiç iyi yönü yokmuş iyi bir barınak yokmuş gibi konuşup genel olarak hepimizi acımasız, merhametsiz gösterirsen buna bok atmak derim. Marketlerin kasap ürünlerini barınaklara gönderdiğini biliyor musun ? Bizim ülke en azından uyutup öldürmüyor. Kötü olan insanlar, kötü barınaklar da var ama buna herkesi katıp söylemezsin. Sen 85 milyonu zan altında bırakıyorsun. Seni ilk yabancı sanıp sonra Türk olduğunu görünce gerçekten şok oldum. Ülkene bu kadar düşman olma. Hâlâ ısrarla daha az sevgisi var diyorsun. Ya yabancı adamlar ülkemize gelip Türkiyede beni şaşırtan şeyler adı altında hayvan sevgisinden bahsediyor. Sende kahvehane tartışmasında olan dayılar gibi her söylediğini doğru kabul eden, genel yorum yapma. Ben o kadar yabancı insanlarla siyaset, kültürel, tarih konuştum bilhassa onların diline çevirdim adamlardan böyle yanıt almadım. Sen nasıl ülkene bu kadar bilenirsin ben gerçekten çok şaşırdım. Hepimiz mi kötüyüz? Bir tek ülkede sen mi akıl hocası, melek kesildin.
@Adele Avril İstediğin karalamayı yapamadın ağzının payını aldığın için yazmamdan rahatsız olmalısın tabii sen bunu hak ettin. Hiçbir millet kendi ülkesini bu kadar kötülemez ki biz yine birçok ülkeye göre çok merhametliyiz. Yaptığın algıları kendine sakla. Senin Türk olduğundan da şüpheliyim. Her yere ingilizce olarak kötü yorumlar yapmaya çalışma. Sen genel olarak hepimizi kötü gösterme bende ayrıntıya girmem anlayabilir musun ? Bende seninle iletişim halinde olmaktan memnun değilim, rahatsız oluyorum. Yaptığın haksız, yersiz algılarına cevap veriyorum. Asıl sen yazma.
7:33 haha my man confused the three words :) they are "subhanallah, elhamdülillah, allahuekber". They mean "he is the one that makes everything beautiful and perfect", "thanks to him", "he is the greatest" (all three respectively)
Subahanallah means he is pure from errors
He said Bismi'Allah lastly😄
Man , i Could Cry seeing Hatay and Gaziantep and Maraş.. those Cities where Hit the Worst during the recent Earthquake... If you look at the Cities now it's just Ruins and Death everywhere.. everyone has lost his Smile and Soul ... 💔😥😓
Glad ya'll had the chance to see Those Cities at there Prime.
Sen Allah'ın dan Bulasın Tayyip ..Allah seni Çocukların la Sinasin...
Drew the best thing about your vlogs is you are connecting people to make it a better world , Lot of respect for you brother
I was in Istanbul a month ago with my Jewish parents too. It was actually their idea to go - i was quite surprised! One thing that we all thought was cool was that a few names of Turkish months are taken from Hebrew names of Jewish months. I loved Istanbul and Turkey - already want to go back!
That's awesome! So heartwarming to hear stories like this. Hope you get to visit turkey again soon :)
I'm not religious but I don't know why it's surprising, Turks are very friendly and Istanbul is one of the most visited cities on earth! Doesn't matter what your religion is. It's not like going to an extremely conservative country like Iran or something lol
I just love how your mom is saying 'gunaydin' to everyone
Your parents sure did a great job raising you! You can tell from the video that they are such sweet people ❤ love your content, keep up the great work.
You're one of the best travelers and story tellers. You're open hearted and humble, Drew. Very nice to watch your video in Turkey. It's more special when your parents there too.
We love u. Best regards from lndonesia... ❤
Your mom might be the cutest human I’ve ever seen. She must be protected at all costs 🥹
And your mom not 🥺
Great parents. Good job mom and dad. Ya hit a homerun with your boy!
Türkiye is a secular state.
I love your dad. You can tell his enthusiasm in everything!
It was really a nice video. And your family is so sweet. Good thing you brought them here. I'm happy that you guys enjoyed yourselves here.
i’m from Antakya and i really didn’t expect you to bring your parents there since not many people visit Hatay in general so it was a big surprise i’m glad they enjoyed it!❤️
Aylin deprem oldu Hatay’da iyi misin?

I’m in Marmaris for the second time right now, Turkey is honestly my favourite country to visit as there is so many different cultures and delicacies that I find very interesting. No matter where u go everyone welcomes you and everyone I’ve met is so kind.
😢Drew this here make me emotional with joy your best friends should be your parents they are the ones who brought you into this world 🌍 your life will forever be blessed because you honour your parents 🎉🎉🎉so sweet of you God bless this family ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Considering Turkiye as muslim country is kinda sweet but actually , Turkiye is a secular country , which is established by Turkish Mother Laws , and by the Turkish Military :P . It helps to everybody can live their own beliefs without crossing into each other or radicalize .
Great Video Drew !
The comment I was searching
Terrible video actually. Literal clickbait. Trying to paint Turkey as a country difficult for Jews to travel to. It’s a secular state not “Muslim country”.
Well, it's relative. The United Kingdom is technically a Christian country because it has a state church and a strong connection between that and the state. Israel is a Jewish country in a similar way. But most Western countries are not like that. They are technically secular. For example you would probably think of my country, Germany as a Christian country. But it is technically secular. The bigger religious denominations can get certain privileges almost as if they were state churches, but these are not exclusive. The Protestant and Catholic churches get these privileges, but also the Jews and some other religions. Islam can get them as well, but progress in this respect is slow. Or consider the US. Technically it is very secular, but in practice it is in many ways a fundamentalist Christian country. As I understand it the situation in Turkey is similar to the one in Germany: Christians theoretically have the same religious rights, but in practice things can get complicated. (Building a new church in Turkey is said to be even harder than building a new mosque in Germany.) It's just a normal thing that happens when the majority of a country has one religion. It can try to be secular, and it's a good thing when it does, but this will never work completely.
Therefore, when talking about a country's religion, what we usually mean is the religion that most people there have, or at least grew up with.
@@johaquila Nevertheless, we don’t have to act like these Jews are so “cultured” or “opened-minded” for coming here. It’s not like going to Iran.
Stfu no one cares, it’s a Muslim country cuz more than 90% of the population is Muslim, it’s a Muslim country period, you want him to say it’s a Jewish country?? Educate yourself
What an amazing journey. Felt like I traveled with you. Wonderful narrating and happy giggles. Very inspiring. Loved it.
These kinds of videos bring me to tears. Being Persian and Turkish, I feel so emotional seeing how much you and your parents enjoyed the trip. Glad you guys had a fun time!

@@brianl6128 70 million muslims
@@marpez6360 The fact that there are 70 million Muslims is not greater than the principle of secularism in the constitution, which is why it is called a secular country with a large Muslim population.

Your mum is a legend! :D - So special to share with your parents - memories to cherish : )
Oh Drew. i did not know this video exists. I love your mum. I love your dad and his baby facial expressions. This was a joy to watch.
Drew, thank you for all the things you do for Turkey by showing the real face of the country to your followers! The message that you deliver to people is outstandingly good! congratulations on this!
Second of all, I am very happy that you mom and dad loved the country and the culture there. My husband is also an American and I take him to Turkey every year just because he loves it so much and dreaming of going back during the whole year! There is no boundaries for any religion in this peaceful country! we love and respect people from all the religions, cultures, nationalities and races and even those with no religion as well.
Turkey is big, I think they would love to see the Mediterranean coast as well. Take them to Izmir, Bodrum, Datca, Kash, Antalya one day:)
Th an you so much for your comment. I hope to visit those places on my next trip!
