- Volvo City (1991) A documentary on the North London area of Stamford Hill, Hackney. Home to over 30,000 Hasidic Jews, this film focuses on their community and historic roots within the area. Aiming to preserve a way of life they had in eighteenth century Poland and living strictly according to over 600 Biblical commandments brings them into conflict with modern life. They have embraced one aspect fully though, the Volvo Estate car.
Cinematography: Mike Eley and Belinda Parsons
Producer: Roy Ackerman
Winner Broadcast Awards Best Newcomer.

I just saw my mum grandma and dad in this!😂 They're so young, it's too funny 😂😂👌
WOW/////
Wow, I always wonder what it's like to recognize people in docs, especially years and years later!
@Frieda Vizel - Brooklyn Tour Guide it was my first time and its probably because its a documentary on where I live😂
@@FriedaVizelBrooklynI love your channel Frieda! So interesting that someone else recognised their family on this film fascinating!
Are you ever tempted to eat McDonald's?
I hope this wonderful doc will be seen by some of the Hasidic community from Stamford Hill of that era, because whatever ones religion it is always great to reminisce .
Thank you for posting.
Some of my family live in this community. The rabbis forbade TVs so I doubt any of them saw it 😭
I grew up there I was born in 2000 and it’s so cool to see what my old community was like in the days before I was around
@@ah795u Maybe the grand kids will get a glimpse, who knows.
Can't beat the sense of humour!
“Give my love to Paddy Ashdown.”
I work in the Boots there for nearly forty years all this brings back memory's .
All the Volvo 740s and 940s are gone now. Toyota Previas are the car of choice these days.

Most thoughtful cop I've ever heard speak
Yep, he's a very switched on Bobbie. I wonder if he's still in the Met ?
Loool!! I saw my sister in this, she is 3 in this video and now she is 33 😄
.... Splendiferous Indeed.. You and Your Sister May Have An Apple Each... 🍎🍏
This is just amazing footage... Thanks for sharing
Good to see that guy rinsing the washing-up before placing it on the drainer. Nice touch, that.
The thumbnail looks like a jewish hip-hop album cover.
I was born and raised here and I still live here after 23 years and this place shall remain my ghetto.
Same I was alconbury road
@Lee Tempo no wayyy!! hi fellow Stamford hillian!
I'm from linthorpe road
They were calling the left wing looneys even back then 😂
I lived in this area for a couple of years and always thought it was sad how Jews and non-Jews would pass each other in the street as if the other was totally invisible
So sad some of the people in the footage are no longer with us. 😭
It's literally 30 years ago. That's like being upset watching WW2 footage and being upset that they aren't with us today
Isn’t Stamford hill north London?
Yes..
Yes but I was in e5 next road to me was n16
Amazing time capsule
I ❤ volvo, i ❤ the jews. Volvo + jews= a perfect combination! 🙏👏
Volvo city?
.... They Only Drive Volvo's, Buy And Sell Em At There Friends Car-Lot Stamford Hill Jews Drive Only Volvo's... Ergo " Volvo City "... What were we On About Again?.. 😂😂😂
“Give my love to Paddy Ashdown.”
- funny moment.
are they notorious for being bad drivers ??
YES!!😃
Stamford Hill is North London, not East ....
I lived in alconbury road it was e5 n16 was the next road to mine…basically near Stoke Newington common so technically their right because the Jewish community were in my road
their buses on 2013...always over booked by many kids
(Gladesmore road)
televised on Monday 4 November 1991
North London area not east ldn as it says in your description
Correct, Thanks for the heads up. ❤️
12'00" Where was the Eshel Restaurant?
Channel 4 certainly did a good editing job to makes these people look foolish. It's sad really, they seemed to do it a lot to different people in these older documentaries from the 80's 90's and early 2000's. I could never trust a journalist.
I used to go with my mother to see my grandmother in Stamford Hill. I remember we took a number 88 tram. And I never saw a hassidic jew there in those days.
So true...Volvo made famous by religious Jewish ✡ communities up and down the uk😃
Not necessarily. I love Volvos but I’m not exactly a fan of Jews and their love for money and funny little hats etc and the creepy plink plonky music that they do

Full garb, a spanner and WD40 equals Mechanic😆
You know it's old video..police walking streets.!!
Thanks for the doc, here are some of my comments.
(Please don't get offended, I watch these when sad)
1.How rude of these women to walk around seeking 'clients' and claiming it is a 'free country'.
Keep such inapropriate things private.
I don't go around spreading my oppinions on such 'services' either.
2. The whole 'shaving the head/covering the head completley' bit is a modern inventiom
Women may show the front part of their hair and wear a scarf on the back. (the KSA states so in (the chapter discussing) modesty)
My mum however states that this is not verry practical as the thing may slip, it needs to be pinned down, and is verry uncomfortable.
She therefore opts for a corcheed barret.
3.the girl who said that Orthodox Jews divorce less.
Is due to the husband having to agree to divorce his wife.
Otherwise you my'lady are chained to a dead marriage.
4.that there needs to be some kind of attraction
No, not at all Jewish dogma (the Kisur Shulchan 'Aruch) states:
'a man must love his wife and treat her with dignity even if he marries her for her money' (marital laws)
'one should converse verry little with one's wife, and his friends wife even less' (Good habits(I think))
'one is not allowed to look at his wife' (descency)
'The man may not look at his wife's dress' (Idem dito)
'The man may sneak peaks at his date, but not for long' (Idem dito)
'one is forbiden to hear his wife sing'
'A woman's singing voice is (a form of)nudity ' (idem dito)
And here's the kicker:
One ought not to have relations for either pleasure or nescesity nor as a habit.
But to fulfill the commandment of 'be fruitfull and multiply (Gen I.I). (Good habits, marital law and descency mention this)
'The burdon of being fruitfull only applies to the man, a woman ought to marry,
lest she arouse suspicion, even if she does not desire children' (marital laws)
Due to contraceptives being heavely regulated in the faith:
My mum is an undesired chid, and so is my gran,
my great grand gran ETC
Hence I'm quite litterate in the law, for it pains me.
And how about 'A wife is bought for a prutha (a coin)' (Mishna seder Nashim 1.1)
'The laws (of sexual purity) where instated to prevent the Rabbi's from behaving like Cocks in the rooster' (Mishna, Berakhot)
A child may be sold (into bondage) when it can walk, this should be done to a Jew or a Kuthian (samaritan)
Or as my grandfather put it "Outside there are plenty of rocks, let them (my mum, aunts and uncle) eat that"
5. Neither the communtiy nor the law gives one *** about safety.
Most appalling is the fact that Berakhot chaper four (Hana's prayer);
has R'Sadoque lamenting the lack of safety standards. (R'Sadoque lost his child in a work related accident)
And why should you, If you can frighten and coerce people into knocking out more children?
The finale makes that abundantly clear;
You cannot have mass apeal and be an exclusive club.
If you want me back Quit being racist mysogenists!
The jewish women seemed to wear more colourful coulors back then

I think Israel in Diaspora is small and beautiful

So why doesn't the husband wear a wig?. Modesty works both ways.
To answer your question: Our woman don’t wear wigs for modesty purposes. men cannot wear woman’s clothing and woman can’t wear mans clothing. The woman’s hair is only for her husband
The men cover their head with a hat. In these communities the men dress modestly also
Come on you spurs , now in canvey island
... Did They Win Then 🏴🖖😂
This is very funny. I worked in the adult industry for 15 years and I dealt with Hasidic men on a daily basis. Here in New York City the hasidim frequent gay saunas, transgender and female street walkers, s&m dungeons and brothels. They are the prime players. Some of the working girls even put Yiddish language in their ads 😆
Tell me dear why you write almost same comments under plenty of Hasidic documentaries ?:)
@@jannowacki4857 because people need to know that these men aren't as sanctified as people think they are!!
@@annabanana5007 Well tbh for me is not that shocking info as I have very low trust in people generally but still this copy paste comments look quite weird .... . :)
Lol, liar.
@@jeldavidson Satya means truth in Sanskrit. Many individuals in New York City including policemen know about the Hasidic men and how they frequent hookers including transgender..
It's a cult.
How is this a cult? They seem to be very happy
Am in Westcliff now and many have come from Stamford Hill to live here...brilliant 😀
