Thank you all for watching! Stay tuned and SUBSCRIBE to the official PortuguesePai TH-cam Channel to always be kept informed when I make a video or React to moments from games played on stream, to content put out across the interwebs.
You seem like a genuine guy. Like or dislike your takes (I tend to like them), they seem honest, which is such a breath of fresh air on this platform. I hope your channel continues to grow.
I really appreciate that comment Joseph. I know my reactions/views might not always be a hit with some, but I simply try to give my view or opinion on what's being presented. I try not to go into anything with "my idea is right/better" because listening to another view could actually change mine. These videos (whether music or Peter's) have been so refreshing and eye opening, and especially in today's climate of "discourse" (if we can even call it that anymore) it's getting harder and harder to see we're not as different as we think.
@@PortuguesePai 👏🏻
@@PortuguesePai Amen.
Her discussion about giving control to God and doing your part touches on such a fundamental Torah concept of what we call bitachon vs hishtadlus (faith and personal effort) and the balance between them. We ultimately believe that we need to expend effort to achieve (and in fact are required to) but that it is not our work that is achieving anything, and the final result is not in our control at all, but in God’s hands. This is super hard to accept and practice but can also bring tremendous relief. When you say to yourself, “ I did what I could and the rest is in God’s hands”. Or to restrain an overinflated self esteem- all the work I did was great but my success is only bc God willed it. Etc.
lots more complexity and depth to this concept, all part of the constant study back and forth you would love 😃
K the funniest thing just happened. While you paused it and are now talking, I looked at how much time is left and I started mentally adding a few more minutes because of your talking. Of course I then remembered it's included in the video time 😂. Love all your commentary!
I also love your side commentary on peripheral stuff like being able to use a GoPro etc
Even if she wasn't wearing a ring she wouldn't be making physical contact with another man ie her husband (basic rules are no physical contact with anyone outside immediate family parent, sibling, child, spouse, grandparent)
The wool and linen is called shatnez it's a biblical commandment not to wear the two together
Love your pick-up on the freedom line vs Canada appreciate your candidness about your own
I loved this episode from Peter. These women were so much more honest and genuine than the any of the men he spoke to. The men were all saying "the right thing", doing their best to aggrandise the community and religious practice; the women were completely authentic.
- If their hands accidentally touched she'd probably flinch a little and move on like nothing happened, perhaps with a bit more space between the two
- Separating wool and linen is because "Almighty G-d said so". A 12th century Rabbi writes it's because the sacred garments of pagan priests in Biblical times were deliberately made from both these mixtures. Dennis Prager suggests its because one is from animals and the other from plants, and the Torah has an underlying philosophy of maintaining firm boundaries between different forms of life.
- 19:03 That was a very impressive whistle
Dennis is incorrect. Because it's only sheep's wool (and a few others) which can't be mixed with linen. Lama wool, for instance, is okay to mix with linen.
The reason really is because G-d said so.
@@elchanan3685
It also doesn't apply to cotton or silk, but these aren't things which Biblical Jews knew existed, so it's plausible from an academic perspective that this was the original intention behind the law against mixing. But no, it's not a perspective that is recognised by Orthodox Jews.
@@freespeech100 okay. Here are some other types of wool which are allowed to be mixed with linen: camel's wool, angora and cashmere. Even an ewe's wool (a Ferndale sheep born from a mother goat and a father sheep) is permitted from the Torah. It was forbidden from the Rabbi's however, because it looks too simular to sheeps wool.)
Hemp is also allowed to be mixed with wool.
Many of the above examples were likely available in the middle east at that time.
Very fascinating to see everyone's different take on this. I think the common thread (see what I did there) I've heard is it is just a law that God has made and so it is usually just followed.
It is interesting to hear that all those other animals seem to be okay with the rule however.
Also, Mendel, I appreciate you noticing that Whistle 🙂👍🏼
@@PortuguesePai most Torah commandments are given with a reason. There are a handful of commandments that we are given no reason for, and we practice them “because God said so”. Not mixing wool & linen is one of those. Those are considered a test of faith. But since we can see the reasoning, logic, and value to practicing 99% of God’s commandments, we believe there is good reason to practice the others as well, even if we don’t understand the “why”.
Malky is a nickname for malka- which means Queen
19:03 U WHISTLE SO GOOD 😮😂😂😂😂
You need to do these live so we can answer your questions in real time!
You're a smart guy! Keep it up!
Checkout those gas prices! 16:26
U should study the 7 noahide laws (I spelled it wrong) 😂lol
On the accidental touching, accidents don’t count
Notice the gas prices! (Compared to the gasoline video)
The gasoline video wasn't the real price. It was changed for the video
I noticed the prices as well! Wish it was that cheap
Haha, sadly I did not look at the gas prices. I'll have to go back and check them out
Shatnez (mixing wool and linen) is a classic example of a commandment that has no logical explanation. We just don't do it because it's forbidden. As opposed to things like respecting your parents or not stealing or fencing off your roof, which make a lot of sense.
It is a commandment in the Bible not to make mixtures including working different animals together, planting seeds together, mating animals together and wearing linen and wool together. Leviticus 19:19 and Deuteronomy 22:11
Your reactions is very enjoyable to watch! FYI, you might enjoy listening (not for a reaction) to Derek Johnson on Rumble, rattletrap 1776, he's also a country music artist.
"Malky" Is short for "Malkah" which means "Queen". Many Jews shorten their names and add an ee sound. Mordechai (Boy name) is often called Mordy. Batsheva (Girl) is Shevy etc.
Just to clarify, they don’t actually change their names, it’s just a nickname, like Danny and Patty, instead of Daniel and Patricia.
And before European Jews came to America and started abbreviating names with a 'y' suffix, they would do it with a 'el/del' suffix. Hence you get my name, Mendel, from Menachem, and Avraham Fried's personal name, Avremel.
@@jedimmj11 interesting, I know Menachem and Mendel often go together (especially in the chabad community) but I wasn’t aware that Mendel was just an abbreviated version of Menachem. I figured it must be the Yiddish version. The difference, though, is that people are now _named_ Mendel, not just called it, which is an interesting evolution. You won’t find someone whose actual name is Malky. Incidentally, my father’s name is actually Mendel, and he goes by Mendy, which is funny, now that I know this, since it’s a nickname of a nickname.
@@YLvids
Yep, being a nickname of a nickname is pretty funny. But I don't think it's the only example of a name's diminutive form becoming an actual name. I have a relative named Raizel, which is the diminutive of Rose.
@@jedimmj11 right, I’m sure there are others… is Shaindel from Shaina?
Not that much on this one, short and sweet!
1. I don't know if she'll answer this later, but regardless of if she's married, after a certain age (varies by custom) males and females don't come into any physical contact if they're not related.
2. Regarding accidents, I mean, accidents happen, but you're right, that's why we generally wouldn't get that close. If someone falls, etc. generally you would still catch them, but let go as soon as practical. (Don't forget Hatzalah EMTs treat women as well.)
3. The no-TV/smartphone convo is interesting because, obviously, your audience is made up of people who do, indeed, watch TH-cam! I'll say, though, people are still surprised that I don't have a TV in my house, and that we don't subscribe to any streaming TV services either. I don't know if she's involved in it, but there's an Orthodox streaming service called "Toveedo" (I think it's supposed to be a portmanteau of "Torah" and "Video") that has a lot of 'kosher' content, but it's mostly for kids.
4. Separation of wool and linen is straight-up "because G-d said so", specifically in Deuteronomy 22:11. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shatnez) It's only wool and linen together that's a problem, nothing else.
Let's see what part 2 brings!
Malky means queen
4:30 - it's definitelly not the end of the world. She would just move away a bit.
5:55 - You'ld be surprised how many of the Orthodox community don't have computers at home. Even those who use it for work won't put their comps at home, but leave it in the office, and if they have to have it at home, it'll be in a room that the kids don't get inside. I do use my laptop at home all the time, but I have to admit that not having it at home gives quiet to your mind, concentrate your family withno distraction, and also teaches your kids to occupy themselves without wasting time in front of movies/TV shows, have some real games and activities with other real kids, not through screens.
10:36 - when Peter talked about her shirt, it wasn't about the fabric, but the leopard pattern. I think I already mentioned in one of mt prev comments that you'll never see a Hasidic woman wearing red / orange or any other strong color, as part of modesty perception. So some Hasidic women won't wear leopard pattern as part of their own modesty perception. Malky is obvipously a bit more "out of the box" about clothing style.
11:05 - indeed the same goes to makeup, like you said, a natural makeup to not draw attention from other men.
17:20 - I think that is the thing about a healthy Hasidic way of life - you do everything you need to do, everything within your power to protect yourself, but once you did all you could, the outcome is not in your hands but it's up to God to decide. I think that frees your mind so much. Same thing goes to every aspect in your life, work, for example.
20:45 - unfortunately people don't know to appreciate their fortune of living in a free ecountry. They tend to complain a lot about everything, without realizing that in other places they might have been killed just for complaining against the government.
I was really waiting for this one. Thanks! 😊
If youre touched accidentally or like what do you think riding on the subway is like 😂 its not a problem. Problem would be with intent.
There are 2 different types of laws in the Torah. There are laws that we would derive ourselves, from common sense, such as Do not murder or Do not steal. Or perhaps we can find a reason that we feel fits the law. These are called mishpatim. And then there are laws that have no obvious reason, but we do them because Hashem commanded us. These are called chukim. The laws of kashrus, and the laws of kilaim - not mixing certain plants or animals like not combining wool and linen, are among the chukim.
Even where we know there are obvious reasons for a Halacha (Jewish law), we observe these commandments not because of the reason but because Hashem commanded them. Because if we do the mitzvah only because of the reason, then if we feel the reason doesn't apply to us, then we will stop doing the mitzvah. We believe that Hashem gave us these commandments, and at the end of the day, that is why we do them.
This does not mean we shouldn't learn as much as we can, or explore the mitzvot and possible reasons for them. One of the commandments is to get to know Hashem. How do you get to know Hashem? One of the best ways is by exploring His mitzvot.
Accidental touching isn't a big deal. It can be a bit awkward at times (especially depending on the two parties and their personalities), but it's not something to make a big deal of. However, there is a concept of "accidental sinning" which we are held accountable for, but on a different level than intentional sinning.
Oh, and it does happen at times. For example when a man is passing a baby to a woman. We're careful to hold and pass the baby in a way that we don't end up touching, but once in the blue moon accidental touching does happen.
There is actually no official given reason for the law against mixing wool and linen. It is one of the laws simply put "because God said so". There are a few such laws but most do have actual explanations. Such laws really test our faith in God because we are supposed to observe all the commandments not only because they make sense to our human brains, but because we believe in God and what he tells us to do doesn't have to make sense to us!
@@freespeech100 Shatnez is a Chok. Most other laws have reasons given either in the Torah or in the Torah Shebaal Peh
About the Covid thing - in hindsight, it does seem cute how paranoid people were back then. People really were scared stupid by the media.
Said someone who has never set foot in a covid ward or lost an otherwise healthy family member or friend.
This is like saying that being mechalel shabbos for someone who was sick became an aveira in hindsight because they got better.
@@sheerayb How do you know anything about my family and friends?
Also, you mentioned "otherwise healthy". Covid overwhelmingly affected those who were not otherwise healthy, so clearly you are misinformed about how Covid works. I don't fault you for it. Like everyone else, you probably fell for the media hysteria head over heels.
Your analogy is a bad one. You're talking about being mechalel shabbos for someone who was sick and got better. The government restrictions were imposed on everyone, whether they were sick or not, and also, they did nothing to make people get better.
Basically, you don't know what you're talking about.
@@joeldick6871 thank you for mansplaining (or would that be covidiotsplaining?)
I am honestly very well informed, my information does not come from the MSM.
In any event, I put my thoughts out there, and don't imagine for a second that I will convince anyone with opinions like yours, so good day to you.
Those who are called Malky are given the name Malka at birth, for which Malky is a nickname. Malka means queen, and ironically, Malky changes the meaning to "my King". Just a fun fact.
Your comments about the current Canadian government is unfortunate, but so true....!
217 gas in this video good times!
The issue shes mentioning with her shirt has nothing to do with what we call shatnez but more that its not a conservative style. As far as wearing the wool/linen blend, its actually one of the group of commandments that even Jees dont have a reason for but just that its commanded of us. There may be kabalistic reasons for it but theres no reason given directly in the Torah.
I'm saying with no exaggeration, one of the biggest questions in Judaism that people have is how much free will we have.
I left like ten separate comments here 🙈😂
Sorry that all my comments are chopped up.
You receive requests/suggestions of videos of women singing that even specifically say "for women only"???? Sorry, but yikes.
(Unpopular opinion)
Hishtadlus (making your own effort) is important, and yes, that's the most you can do.
Deciding that certain measures are not necessary because you don't like them, doesn't mean you've done your best.
A lot of Ultra-Orthodox communities (not all of them!) decided that not having a minyan is not acceptable, not having guests over is not doable, even though pikuach nefesh dictates that saving lives trumps everything. I'm talking about from the beginning and throughout all the variants. Our local rabbi called these people in my own community who thought they were being so righteous by continuing to gather in an unsafe manner, idiots.
I spend a lot of time in Ultra-Orthodox towns in my country, and I found it mind-boggling how the people who are so careful to cover up their bodies from head to toe couldn't for one minute cover their nose and mouth even for the sake of the elderly person in line behind them at the supermarket. My 4 year old son could mask so much better than these adults.
It's not hishtadlus like she described, it's like the drowning man who won't catch a rope because God will save him. Or worse, someone who won't throw a rope to a drowning man because God will decide if he needs to be saved.
My friends with family in America basically said "oh yeah, all the old people we knew died...". I know too many people who died or had their health severely impacted, to dismiss the danger of this virus. Even in its current version.
As someone who watched a close family member fight tooth and nail to survive a (different) deadly disease and prolong his own life, I find it horrifying how quickly people are ready to let go of any person with any kind of comorbidity because protecting them is an inconvenience to their lifestyle.
And now, of course, it's "obviously" the vaccine causing heart disease and blood clotting, not the virus itself which no one is careful about nor tests for anymore.
Vent over.
I'll just step over these worms on the floor and let myself out.
Not really hasidic women...
No true Scotsman
Malky is definitely chassidish
Untrue. She's a little more with it, but definitely still Chassidish.
Actually a very typical Boro Park hasidic woman
She's really Chassidish. Just because she doesn't "dress" Chassidish, doesn't mean she isn't. Lots of Chassidish women dress very stylish and yet their husbands wear the whole Chassidish garb. Clothing doesn't determine a person.
