Legend has it, he’s still adjusting his mask.
Legend is we all still are...
The only thing I rememberd from the video after watching
😂😂😂😂
Legend has it, women will convert to jewism for marriage and give birth to a school of kids. I mean this is exactly the dream community of many western modern-day women. You here that? We date for marriage in 7 days. I know that sounds good to many women here.
Masks are useless. Notice most people within this community don't bother with them.
This is Post Malone in a parallel universe.
underrated comment
Stop stealing others comments.
@@MealTeam6 Literally no one else commented this.
I always thought Malone looked Jewish lol
Post Shalom
"We embrace everybody, everyone has a mission in life."
Should be the worlds motto
It's a cult. It is interesting how his approach was completely different to the orthodox Jews of New York, Borough Park and LDS. Orthodox Jews are a classic cult, they forbid watching TV, using cell phones, force women to wear wigs, dress like aunts, and give birth to 10 children each. But he showed them as "normal, average New Yorkers". WTF
I'm just seeing this today, January 8, 2023. I am very far from Hassidic but I am a Jew. I LOVE what you are showing here. I've always known Hasidic Jews are great people with a great community. Continue your great work showing the community properly. Shlome is terrific showing off the community and his family. And you Peter, are so open and receptive - beautiful thing you are doing.
Amen.
A friend was injured in a bicycle accident in their neighborhood, he enthusiastically told me how these people arrived immediately and treated him in a warm and humane way. Respect for them.
Such a simple, yet a rare gesture ❤️
They also used their political influence to eliminate the bike lane on Bedford, which kept cyclists safe.
Wach unorthodox. Documentary on Netflix see what you really think
@@Adrian_Baez Unorthodox isn't a documentary. It's a semi-fictional scripted show based on the memoir of a woman who escaped the Satmar community.
My friend is Hispanic and lesbian and her and her wife live there. They are welcomed with open arms. Their landlord is Hasidic he has them over to holidays dinner etc... the families are friends jusf beauriful people
This was a rare moment when TH-cam recommended something to me that is actually good.
True
The algorithm is getting better...
I watch nothing but video game content, and this pops up on my reccomendations....hmmm I did watch a Borat2 trailer though lol
The algorithm used to be great 😪
@@Sasdosbow I guess...they're trying to... 🙈 Make the Algorithm Great Again... 🤣🤣🤣
I was a child Russian immigrant with my family to the States in the early 90s. My step dad was Jewish (he is dead now so past tense) ...The Jewish community was very warm and helpful to us and I went to their school and started learning the language until I was transferred. Deeply spiritual people that I respect.

Wow - thank you so much for going in with an open mind and actually interviewing someone who is from the community!!!! You're amazing!
I LIVE THERE! So, excited lol! And I’m MUSLIM! The HASIDIC JEWISH people are very nice! I love going to their restaurants and bakery. They always get happy to see me. Love their bread (challah) and pizza.
Thank you for sharing! Also, you are incredibly beautiful!
I have seen u many times round the hood... Shalom!
I live here too Rum
Do you eat Kosher meat? I'm aware that is permissible for Muslims to eat meat from a Kosher butcher but I don't really know much about it.
All men sin and fall short of the glory of God. Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on a cross, rose again on the third day and was the final sacrifice for the sins of all men. He was fully man and fully God. He was a Jew born of the tribe of Judah. He fulfilled the scriptures written about the Messiah by the prophets. There is no way into Heaven except by Jesus, He is the truth, the life and the only way. May the Lord bless all who read this, in Jesus name Amen.
Being a Muslim, I feel that jews are alot like Muslims. All these guys are are good people.
Peace ✌️
Love from Pakistan
couldn't help but feel the same! for example, the food, marriage and dating, having children, saying things before eating, contentment...
Jews and Muslims should be alike. We are cousins and have more in common than any of the other world's religions.
We're cousins! Peace from the USA :)
all people are the same! even the ones that are not religious : )
A salaam alaikum and shalom aleichem, brother. From a Jew to a Muslim: we are cousins. I have much respect for your people. 🤝🏽
Sadly this is what we lost in the recent years...a sense of belonging and being a part of a community. Its so important and that is why we now have so many problems in society.
Thank you for showing their culture! My boss is part of a Jewish family and we have Rabbi’s come to our company very often to ensure everything is Kosher during production of our popcorn but I haven’t ever asked my boss about her culture so it was really cool to learn about. I’m really glad he was open to speaking on camera and showing his world to us
You could not have taken to a better representative, he was super clear, super open. Great video
Post Malone really did a great job
Haha*
super scripted....
Super!!!!!!! 👍🏽

Reminds me of my overnight visit to an Amish school, by day, and to the teacher’s home overnight. They had tacos for supper!
I live in Upstate NY and not anti Semitic, but the neighbors & myself are seeking advice...
Everyone in this working class town takes care of what little they have in the way of keeping their yards
clean, free of trash and take personal pride in their surroundings.
Having said that... the Hasidic community that lives here for the spring & summer, leave heaping bags of trash, old broken appliances, ripped and torn blinds in windows, and old furniture & loose trash EVERYWHERE.
When people come to visit they can't believe such a beautiful, rural little town is treated this way.
It's not only a horrible eyesore, it affects home sales and brings rat infestations.
The people of the town are so worried about getting an unfair discrimination lawsuit that they don't do anything about it.
A few years ago I wrote a polite letter on behalf of the neighborhood to no avail.
It merely said that we welcome them, but that it is unfair to the community to be subject to rats, roaches and be forced to drive past
what looks like a war zone to & from work.
If there is anyone here who would possibly know how or what the best approach is; I would gratefully follow your advice.
It's so unnecessary, depressing and is affecting home sales.
I can't imagine that they would willfully be so selfish and that maybe they just don't notice it?
Believe me, it's bad, really bad.
Everyone here is super mindful of their religious views, tip toes around them so as to not make them uncomfortable and yet, they
seem to have zero concern for how the people who live here year round feel!
How hard is it to just send out a few of the young boys and girls & give them daily chores?
So you don't have to work, everything free and then they look down upon US??
It makes no sense whatsoever coming from self respecting people with the means to walk.
I'm going to share with you your concern is valid and you're not alone.
People within the community have the same issue with it. It does not come from a place of we don’t care, I think the challenge is we have large families and the pressure is to control the situation can be much we have a house to keep in check and the yard falls to the bottom of the list a. And I think the best way to approach it is by respectfully approaching the person and expressing why it's bothering you. And I am almost sure they will try to be more on top of it. They normally have large families, tremendous amount of pressure, and sometimes to keep up the yard is not the first thing on their list.
@@chaim51 Thank you for your kind reply.
I understand that it's hard when you have a family and house to run, but the non hasidic households in the neighborhood not only have the same struggles, but they WORK on top of it!
Surely you can see how that sounds?
The working families in this neighborhood who PAY for them to be home reading the Torah all day while they work, have even more stress, yet they manage to not live in SQUALOR...
Sorry, but that answer just dumbfounds me.
And if having such large families renders them "too stressed" to properly get rid of their waste, and live in a civilized manner, than maybe having LESS CHILDREN...
I'm sorry, and I know you mean't well, but they need to get off their "tokhes" and have some respect for their neighbors.
If they don't care about self respect there's nothing anyone can do to force them, but at least have the decency to think about others.
What makes their hands any less capable;e of doing a little work?
I'm so sick of driving past this slum in the middle of one of the most beautiful areas in The Hudson Valley.
How dare they take such BLATANT advantage.
@@lahaza6515 Believe it or not- we Hasidic Jews also work. very few people sit at home and read the Torah all day, that's a common myth.
Not only do we work hard to support ourselves- we also pay property taxes to fund the public schools where your kids attend, while we ourselves don't use those schools.
So while some of your points are very valid- your overall portrayal of Hasidic Jews is inaccurate, and might be what's fueling an exaggerated anger about garbage that's not even on your street, but simply an unpleasant view when you drive by one of the places where Hasidic Jews live separately.
You might also be glad to hear that those bungalow colonies or "slums" as you call them- are growing out of style, the younger generation is increasingly buying winterized homes in new, gated developments where everything is nice, clean, and well-maintained.
Ii didn't write it to offend, nor to be "exaggerative".
I can tell you with 100% surety that it is a 5 mile, relatively quiet road in Upstate NY with little houses all along it that keep their yards free of trash, not broken down cars, and literally not one with broken appliances, broken chairs or window blinds shredded and hanging in the windows.
You probably have a vision of me as I write this, but you would probably be wrong.
I lived in NYC for many years before moving to this sweet, humble little town.
There are TWO places that stand out as (sorry to use the word, but if you saw this you would not be able to think of any other that fits) "slum."
And let me ask this question:
if there's SUCH insult at the word "slum" then why not CHANGE IT ?
It doesn't make sense to be offended and defensive about a word when you're LIVING IN the DEFINITION of the word!
Anyway, your response really has me aggravated right now.
There is a ranch house they own & a few feet across the street from it is the colony.
And it is 100% different in looks than every other dwelling on this stretch of scenic road.
Does it have to be? No of course not.
Would it be a big deal to live up to the same standards of cleanliness as everyone else around them? Nope, but instead of getting off their asses they'll just give everyone a big F--k You...
You can waste your time and take this the wrong way, but you are mistaken.
It is not about WHO they are, because it wouldn't matter if they were Catholics from the freaking Netherlands!
It's about how obnoxious it is be THAT disdainful of others that they don't care at all how it affects the other people's home values or health.
People feel HOSTAGE to it.
Because forbid anyone say anything and cause a discrimination lawsuit (which would be ridiculous, no one cares what religion someone is, they just don't want the health hazard & costs of having to fight rodents and roaches that travel & infest the neighborhoods.
The roaches which btw come from inside their suitcases & food supply they bring from the city buildings.
And let me fill you in on something else; EVERYONE with or without children (I have none thank you so you aren't paying for mine) have to pay the same tax.
You say it as if you're doing US a FAVOR!
Funny how so many men & women are strolling up & down the road all day when you say they're "working."
I don't begrudge anyone a summer vacation, but to have the unmitigated GALL to come to a place, wreck it, treat it with SUCH TOTAL disregard & then blame it on discrimination, is just BULLS--T.
I mean think about it; how hard is it to NOT leave old trash everywhere in the scorching heat of the summer?
If we're going to be COMPLETELY HONEST here, people are mad because it's like coming into a place and saying "we don't care if you feel depressed when you see how we disregard this beautiful, rural upstate town, you'll live with our total lack of self respect & LIKE IT or we'll cry racism."
THAT is NOT fair....
But life isn't fair right?
How HARD would it be to JUST CHANGE THIS ASPECT OF THE COMMUNITY?
I'm livid right now having read your comment.
People welcome you with open arms & this is what they get; "you don't like us because of our religion"
BULLS_T.
It's because you FORCE other people to live in filth.
@@lahaza6515 You just said it right there, it's ONE place along ONE street that's 5 miles long... as I said- your point is very valid, there shouldn't be any trash just laying around anywhere. but there's a thing called 'proportionality', when people move into a neighborhood and bring with them crime and drugs- that's terrible, when people come in leave trash in front of your home and all over your street- that's very bad, but when people leave trash in front of their own colony on one spot somewhere along a 5 mile road and you rave about it as if you've been invaded by aliens- that's already an exaggeration of an otherwise legitimate complaint.
And since this exaggeration came together with some false and hurtful stereotypes about Hasidic Jews not working and leeching off other people's work- I couldn't help but wonder if perhaps such a bias and lack of knowledge could've perhaps played a role in your inflated anger...just to clarify once more - almost all Hasidic Jews work full-time and even earn a respectful living of an average $104,000 per-household annually. in fact- the majority of men spend 5 days per-week in the city working while their families are upstate during the 2 summer months.
While everyone has to pay property taxes- other people also consume a lot of that money by sending their kids to public school, we pay into the system without taking anything back in return. I'm not saying we're doing you any favor, but if there's someone who's living at someone else's expense- then it's not us.
I haven't mentioned discrimination even once, because I don't believe in complaining and victimhood, I simply live my life and try to quietly find a way around any obstacles. but since you keep bringing it up- it cannot be denied that there's MASSIVE discrimination going on when it comes to permits and approvals for any form of construction or renovation, I've experienced it first-hand both in the Catskills where I own a second home- and in Rockland county where I live, that certainly didn't make me feel "welcomed with open arms".
Despite all of this- discrimination lawsuits are rare, it only happens in case of large-scale, long-term discrimination from a local government or municipality, not against individuals who complain about trash.
As an agnostic viewer, I discovered your approach on TH-cam and this community that I had no idea about.
While I understand their choice to remain at a safe distance from the rest of the world, this community seems so warm, humane, loving and generous that I find it a shame that they don't share more of their vision and goodness with the rest of us. A fabulous, memorable and enlightening discovery. I loved it!
Thanks to you for the video and to everyone who participated!
so interesting. Always love learning about different cultures that aren't mentioned in the media often

Shlome is a perfect ambassador. Everything about how he handled this was perfect.
this guy is damn well articulate and really smart to
love how they bless food stuffs and even different drinks, very mindful
Hej looks like something out of minecraft
Yeah right get real
what is shlome????????????
Did they show him the underground tunnels with the bloody matresses and baby strollers???
In one of his videos I believe they were outside the building
You mean the storage basement in a community centre, with a single dirty mattress, a baby stroller and some highchairs?
Thank you so much Peter for sharing your work. I've only watched a handful of videos of yours, but what I've seen has show me the humility, humbleness, and shown the fact that the human condition is rather universal. You've showcased parts of the world that I may never see with my own eyes, yet you leave the viewer with a sense of respect of whichever community you've covered. Great work, please keep it up.
As a New Yorker, I grew up in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. My family is Muslim and they were plenty of other Muslims in the area. We all lived in peace. No one disturbed anyone. The orthodox Jews do not talk to anyone but their own kind and we respected that. I believe we all come from the same Abrahamic religions and we have never passed any judgments on them. Jewish folks are very polite folks!
Jews and Muslims have a ton of similarities where we don’t drink alcohol, date & marriage, not eat pork, ham, eat kosher/halal, etc. (Of course not exactly the same, but more similar than different.) I believe if we respect everyone and their religion there will never be conflict. The point is that we need to respect each other’s beliefs and leave judgment to God. Overall, this video was informative as it dives into the depth of their religion and culture. It was very interesting and I enjoyed it.
Here’s to wishing we could all be in peace around the world. Peace and love to all. Thanks for sharing!
So true
@Vicki Soni Sorry, but I respectfully disagree. Of course the religions are not entirely the same when it comes to practice and the holy books. I had mentioned that they’re plenty of similarities. From my research and understanding of both religions, the Jews believe in One God "Allah", the Creator of everything with no partner, nothing is like unto Him and He is invisible to all creatures. As do the Muslims. I did not know that the word “Allah” is considered a curse term in the Torah. I am hearing this for the first time and not sure where that is stated in the Torah. I will look this up. The main thing is that Islam and Judaism worship one God only called Allah in Arabic and Elohim in Hebrew and it is the same.
Muslims and Jews share beliefs in certain Prophets. Jews believe that Moses is the greatest of all Prophets who was sent to mankind. Muslims also believe in Moses, who is in fact the Prophet most mentioned in the Quran. Muslims and Jews also believe in Abraham, Noah, David, Solomon, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.
Nevertheless, in religious practice are very similar because they share this common descent from Abraham. Islam and Judaism are resolutely monotheistic faiths. Allah is the same Creator, Sustainer, and Provider that Jews and Christians worship.
I can go on and on about some other similarities: Jews only eat kosher and Muslims only eat halal. There are many similarities between kosher and halal, not drinking alcohol, not eating pork and both religions encourage modesty and require that women cover their hair.
If you dig deep into the bible, torah, quran, buddhism, hinduism etc. You will come to find that all is one.The differences come from different times, different cultures, different revelation types, different languages.
At the end of the day, there is only one God and he is God for all of us. So, let’s talk more of our similarities rather than differences. This is the reason for so much conflict in the world. I don’t wish to discuss this any further as I am not here to argue. Good luck to you!
@Vicki Soni why do skip over all the similarities and just focus on the differences?
@Vicki Soni ok so your whole issue is with the comparison of Islam/Christianity with Judaism. alrighty
@Vicki Soni are you spreading your venom here as well? Oh my god!! No one is saying islam is part of Judaism! Far from it. We are saying there are similarities. Why can’t you get that through your fat head??
Shloime randomly running into his cousin and his uncle is a great illustration of how close-knit the community is.
Close knit? You mean incestuous. They literally marry cousins.
@@robertdimarzio4490 they don't
@@robertdimarzio4490, in Jewish law, you could marry distant cousins. Marrying close cousins is considered incest.
Bro u meet someone on the street in any Jewish community and u strike up conversation u play “Jewish Geography” and find out ure actually really distant cousins
“Oh! Ure a Goldberg? My mother’s grandmother was a Goldberg! Do u know Chani Goldberg from Monsey? No way! She’s my friend from camp! That’s so cute!”
@@robertdimarzio4490 BAM....ohhh hell they do
Brilliant - what a nice guy Shloime's is. Fantastic explanations, really enjoyed watching and learning.
Your video is very enjoyable to watch because you are so respectful and kind towards the people you are interviewing. This is so interesting and I have learned a lot! Thank you❤
I am Pakistani and after watching this video I personally think Jewish people are very loving,very caring and sensible. We all shall meet them and make friends. They are just fantastic people.
Same here
@Serious Face for what. I don’t need money.
Thank you friend
@Ani C hi I would definitely would like to learn more why not. After all, we all are humans and after watching this video, this surely open up positive Avenue to make friends and share cross culture with Jews. I personally think, we as a globe should learn about each other religion, culture and share good vibes with everyone irrespective of cast, religion, culture, skin color. We as civilized society should accept everyone with their values they own. This video is certainly an eye opener and I hope all of us as human race would come together as one world amen.
@@sfdiscovery There is no such thing as "religion" to be honest. In sanskrit the word Dharma translates to universal law. Linguistically the word "deen" in hebrew and arabic means "true judgement" and every human has the capacity to recognize God and truth.
The Israelite tradition is a continuation of the noahide law and primordial faith of all peoples as revived by Abraham. Even the word "religion" comes from the latin re ligare meaning to reconnect.
The indo european and semitic traditions are actually very similar when understood in their original languages and understanding both cultures is necessary to see the full picture.
This was so interesting. I’ve never seen a documentary of Jewish people sharing their day to day activities and talking about their culture. I learned many new things. Shloime did an excellent job.
I see them everyday
coz no normal person really gives a shit
@@theworldischanging968 Then why did you watch it?
@@theworldischanging968 so in your mind, being brain dead is a requirement of being normal? Different cultures are variations on a theme. In this case the theme of being human. Intelligent people are interested in how things that are similar are also different. So they're interested in cultures.
@Jackie Hillson Yes but you get to wear ridiculous big furry hats even in the stifling heat of summer in New York. Winning
Thank you Peter for educating all of us that we are more alike than different. I am brought to tears in how you humanize the people you interview. You are on a mission of peace.
This was so insightful. I learned a lot. Thank you for making this video.
I lived in boro park on 45th st and ft hamilton for almost 15 years. 0 crime. Extremely safe and i never had any issues.
The only danger is hate crimes, when somebody comes and stabs Jews because they are a Neo-Nazi.
Like what happened in the kosher market. My heart hurts to think about it
In my place always have a problem because u know
That’s called community and these people are about as tight as it gets. We need to get back to that everywhere. Whether it be through religion or other things.

@@strugglingcollegestudent Not only Neo nazis stab jews. There are lots of blacks who are attacking the Jewish people at an alarming rate which is incredibly sad. They don't bother anyone. If their mere presence bothers you then YOU ARE THE PROBLEM, NOT THEM.
Stop the hate. They are a very peaceful people.
Shloime's narrative is excellent- not only is he relatable, he breaks everything down in a way anyone can understand, and humanizes a society that has been shrouded in mystery. I would love to live there.
No you wouldn't.
You definitely would not. It's a hyper religious community with an extremely strict way of life. If you're woman your only job is to have babies and take care of your husband and home. Every Saturday you have the spend the whole day praying and can't even turn on a light switch as forbidden by the religion.
@@robotikempireoh, NO! I didn't say I wanted to live their LIVES, just live in their neighborhood.
@@Cheri461 the women would ignore you as if you were not present and ttmhe men not much better
@@robotikempire Your comment shows you definitely don't know this community....🙄
1) The women all work. It is the men who learn Torah and often don't work. The women 100% work. They are accountants, property managers, office managers, they run small businesses, clothing/ beauty stores, etc.
2) Jews don't pray all day every Saturday.....omg that was the funniest thing I've ever read!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Jewish MEN pray 3 times a day. There is no "all day" prayer. And women are not required to pray.
You seem to have a lot of opinions for a person who doesn't know much...🤔
This dude, Shlome, is really cool. I like him and it's wonderful that he teaches us about his community.
He's cool but it's under the understanding that Santello doesn't condemn, he doesn't that's his business. He still left open questions, he is not an investigative documentarian or muckraker, that's his man's word and his business in one. But it doesn't mean he doesn't ask questions like what about your forelocked police force and their religious strictures. He just ask "what about your Jewish taliban dude?" that's just rude based on the doc precept, there are other docs like that as mentioned in the video.
I am a born again Christian. I went to the Jewish center near me for counseling and they were so warm and welcoming to me and put me in the group counseling and didn't even charge me. Jewish people are good people.
I need to say thank you for what I think is the most open, unbiased, honest look into Hassidic Jewish culture that I have ever seen.
As a woman who grew up in a massive family of Vizhnitz Hasidic Jews, I learned at a young age to stay away from most media pertaining to my culture and religion, I clicked on this video expecting misinformation and demonization, and I was so incredibly surprised by the genuine learning and sharing of information.
I'm Modern Orthodox now, I spent a large part of my young adulthood exploring and learning about religion; I've never been good at doing something simply because I've been told to, and the open honesty and actual teaching that was going on in this little documentary was an absolutely beautiful thing to see.
Thank you for this lovely video 🌼
You expected misinformation and demonisation. That's ironic.
Sarah N
While it's refreshing not to see the hostility. I would not say it's unbiased. Shloimy is a decent guy and he is being somewhat honest but at the same time he's also leaving out a lot of the negative and presenting everything in a very positive way for the most part. The Channel is buying into it. But there are many problems in the hasidic world. Discrimination against women mostly by limiting what they can do and achieve . Though there are some that manage to achieve quite a lot for that world such as judge ruchie. He also was not honest about converting or proselytizing (though in fairness he was interrupted) as they may not target not Jews but lool how much Chabad and other groups target secular Jews? Also the hostile attitude to non Jew may be partially a response to protect themselves from antisemitism but it's much deeper than that. Racism for example runs very deep in this world and in general going to yeshiva as an inpressionable child I was exposed to constant comments about how things are so bad in the goyish world and how we are so much better (today we see one scandal after another, one covered up child abuse incident after another so its BS anyway). Stil shloimy does seem like a great guy and I respect what he does also in the Middle East. (Some would argue he got the blessing for Pizza wrong. ) And I like what Peter is doing also but he does seem a bit naive.
Man, when he said "Name a problem, and we have a Community Solution".
It made me think damn, I wish all communities had it together like this. I always admired Jewish peoples devotion to group economics.
Just what if he said “Divorce” as the example problem. Look into the “community solution” for when a woman wants to divorce her husband. The whole community will turn against the woman, her life will be hell.

This is what proper journalism looks like. We need more journalists like Peter. He literally gives you a tiny snippet of there lifestyle and it completely shifts people's perspective on them. The sensationalist media loves to hold onto this terrible narrative of them searching for every isolated incident that can make them look bad. I've been to Vegas many times at CES convention with Hassidim and they we're the nicest people to deal with. They provided free meals, lavish meals. They have so many community organizations for sick people, for grieving people, for infertility treatment subsidies, food drives, paramedic and patrol volunteers, you name a communal need and they have a service for it. Charity is a major value of the ultra orthodox community and is actually a law in Judaism to give at least 10% of income to charity.
Indepedant media is the future.
This is why I watch TH-cam all day and don’t own a tv 📺 love stuff like this
How is this journalism ? It not only presents one view without ever challenging , the guy presenting it is part of the group the subject is about.
That is like talking about democrats and their problems and talking only to the dnc chair
Liron BERISHA true this is closer to propaganda.
They exploit Black Indigenous people and stole our identity and that headdress he is wearing mimics Black Indigenous culture.

@Doge di Amalfi
I do have an idea that there are christian people in our country. Chrisitan are allowed to be in saudi arabia but not in medina or mekka, which are the holy places for muslims, just like vatikan.
Other than that, you can see christians everywhere in Saudi Arabia. In fact, our tribe were chrisitans before we got the message 1400 years ago. Trust me, muslims don't have an issue against any religion, as long as someone does not cross the line.

I lived in Brooklyn from 2016-18. I'm a Puerto Rican non-religious Christian woman and found myself working at an Orthodox Jewish office in Boro Park and it was a major culture shock for me. Most of the women I worked with had never been around a gentile or an outsider and developing relationships with them was very difficult. A few months in I had pretty much assimilated and was accepted by everyone at my work. I've been to weddings and other gatherings, and to this day they are some of my absolute closest friends. I love this community and miss Boro Park dearly! I'm so happy I found this video.
Thats the problem. They assimilated you, while they should assimilated themselves to the country they invaded.

I love this, I’d like to show my son the Jewish people who treated me well. People say Jewish people are racist and hateful I have never seen it. All I see is respect, you respect they respect.
ive been treated well by jews and palestinians.
Hey great, I’ve been treated the opposite. Nice to know our views cancel out.
My dear Peter, I want to thank you for this series. As a child, I was very interested in Geography. One of my favorite subjects!! All of a sudden your channel popped up and I feel like I've died and gone to heaven!!! Cannot thankyou enough!! ❤
Wow, this has changed my entire perspective of the Jewish Community. I used to have some reservations of Jewish people, I'm not anti semitic in any way, but I used to think that they were a little weird. I admire their family values with well established guidelines of how to live in peace and harmony. I can see this walking around the Jewish neighborhoods, kids are happy playing and riding their bikes without fear. Thank you Peter and Shloime for educating me.
I love how Shloime said the mezuzah is kind of like a spiritual security system. As someone who knows what it actually is I can't help but laugh how he simplified it for the audience haha. Good stuff!
😎
I know! He does such a good job explaining things so simply! Haha
That was really funny yeah
There’s this super religious Jewish guy in my college, he’s super kind, and respectful towards everyone. Surprising he said that he does not surf the web unless it is necessarily needed for schoolwork. He said that newer generation of his community starts to embrace other cultures, in addition using the internet for news...etc. I went to his house once with friends for a project, his mom was a sweet lady. His mom told me that I have beautiful black hair, and I praised her hair too. She replied, “This isn’t the best. But if you would like to see, I have many more.” I never got what it meant until my friend told me his mom is bald.
Just don’t ever ask him to borrow a dollar
Jewish women wear wigs because they shave their heads.
Not all jewish woman shave their head.. only the hasidic ones
Lmfao
I would think she wanted to show the hair down there lol 😂 dirty way of saying it
I think it’s unfortunate he started out saying he’d disprove some of the points of the “Unorthodox” Netflix thing, but then quickly follows it up by “yeah we’re not gonna be talking to women”…

@@V4rya we are very celebrated and treated with love in our religion, if a woman isn’t happy in her marriage they can go to places within the community with no judgement, most women who don’t want to talk simply don’t want to
I keep watching all your Hasidic episodes, and I still crave more.
Sat next to a hasidic jew on a flight from London to JFK....we talked the entire time amazing insight. He told me to always order the kosher inflight meal it's so much better...he was right never going back to regular
lol nice pro tip
The first time I was in close contact with a Hasidic Jew was on a flight from London to JFK too! We were about the same age, both female and I could tell we were both curious about each other. I wish I’d had the confidence to strike a conversation with her, I’m sure we might have had more in common that it would appear on the outside.
@Sum Gai I worked for this Jewish guy who owned a kosher food market in the South and he would get these government contracts to sell kosher food to jails...he said one inmate ended up winning a huge lawsuit against the jail because the refused to provide kosher food for him lol he ended up with a lifetime canteen lmao because he was in for murder
it applies to every special meal, they take greater care of special meals. and you get them first. lol

Hi how are you
In Australia we have peadophilic Jews.
In schools, many male and female students, have been sexualy assaulted.
@@mariahewitt9787 No doubt. Cults like this are the reason that they were forced by moral societies to refrain from their barbaric religious practices.
Judaism is the only ethno-religion! In that, its the only religion that requires you to be genetically Jewish, and have Jewish lineage/blood. And also practicing Judaism.
All Jews who can prove their blood bloodline are allowed "return to Israel and granted Israeli citizenship if they so choose. This is because despite where they were born or live, Jews only have loyalty to one nation- Israel!
I hope you learned something (=

Jealousy.
Because in reality they don't like you. You are not a chosen one. This is why you never see them recruiting into their faith. They might convert another Jew, and I worked with a guy like that, but he was Jewish already. And to be honest, they are very dirty people. My husband worked as a home attendant in their homes in Boro park, my friend was a seamstress for them and smelled all kinds of things. I lived among them for many years. They are definitely not friendly, and if they appear to be, it is a face they put up because they need you. Sorry, I know too much about them to be able to speak. There is a lot of dirt they WILL NEVER tell you about their communities.
very informative! positive vibes. thanks

This is no lie. I had COVID. I wasn't allowed to go the hospital. The Hasidic ambulance guys came over, brought oxygen, and checked on me twice a day.

Every single Hasidic person I know has treated me very well. They offer job positions and invite me over to get togethers to hang out etc. Basically in NY people have this ideology that they're working with our state government to screw us over. I really don't touch on that subject. I truly believe what I see. So far I've had no reason to hate them. Wonderful culture, lovely people.

I can't imagine any other place on earth where people can live in such a community completely doing their own thing. Give any country and it wouldn't be better. I think it works because they are surrounded by people who are not as religious as the rest of the country. I can't imagine anything like this in towns around the bible belt of the US. "Liberals" are pretty good at letting people live as they want.
I live in Amish country. Hassisds come to Dutch wonderland , I guess they like the Amish. I see the moms chatting its so very cool tossed these 2 special communities come together . They respect each other deeply. It's so lovely .
Thank you for this very informative video, and thank the community for allowing you to familiarize us with theirs! I have a renewed understanding and opinion of the Hasidic community
As a Native American descendant it's a completely different how we moved forward vs how they moved forward. My grandmother was old enough to remember having to travel across the great divide with her mother and siblings to find a safe place to live. I do wish my ancestors would have been able to bounce back like this.
It has not helped by how often and long the American Gov. screwed over the Native American communities.
@@masterenos I was going to say the same thing. The indigenous have suffered the longest.

Borough Park fun fact: Originally, the area was called Blythebourne, a small hamlet composed of cottages built and developed in 1887 by Electus Litchfield, and then expanded with more housing by developer William Reynolds. Jewish immigrants began populating Borough Park at the turn of the 20th century, beginning in 1904 to 1905. Then in the 1920s and 1930s, Yemenite Jews immigrated, establishing their own enclave. It didn't become heavily Hasidic until the 1980s.

Not all of Israel is solely Hasidic
I did business with Hasidic Jews for many years. They are masters of internet selling to the general public. They are expert in snagging government bids. I have been in their houses, met their families. They are tough customers, but they always pay their bills. Peter as always is a great cultural ambassador and interlocutor. And yes, the food is really, really good.
You are absolutely correct.
