As someone who grew up Jewish in Arizona, I’ve always been fascinated by the Hasidic Jews of Brooklyn, New York. They are widely considered to be America’s most religious and closed-off community, even more than the Amish of Pennsylvania. In this 47-minute documentary, I embark on a journey to uncover the secrets of the Hasidics behind closed doors, and discover what makes their lifestyles so incredibly unique.
Guided in the beginning by my friend Abby Stein, a former Hasidic rabbi who is now a transgender author, I gain a fascinating insight into Hasidic life and customs from her perspective - both the good and the bad.
In our climax scene, I meet with @ShloimeZionce, a fellow traveler and TH-camr, who opens the doors to his home so I could document a traditional Shabbat dinner with his family. With the permission of a rabbi, we capture the essence of this essential weekly ritual and the warmth and hospitality of the Hasidic people. You can follow Shloime's adventures on his channel: / shloimezionce
This story is really fascinating and I'm really proud of how it came out. From the traditional clothing, music, and food to the strict gender roles and controversies surrounding the community, this documentary dives deep into every aspect of Hasidic life with a balanced portrayal of the good and the bad.
Join me on this captivating journey to experience the Hasidic Jews of Brooklyn, New York, like never seen before.

I am a Muslim and I like family oriented communities, I respect the people who follow what they believe. I enjoyed watching
I *love* this response and attitude 💕
Careful, you’re gonna have your own “brothers” replying now calling you a traitor and saying free Palestine…
My only concern is closed religious (doesn't actually have to be religious) communities like this sometimes become breeding grounds for really scuzzy stuff. Victims can't really escape their community without leaving all they've known behind. And victimizers are often given protection due to their status in the community.
@@Viceeoff do not ruin the peace here and mind your business
@@123kirmizi wtf are you going on about you muppet. I’m just speaking facts. 95% of Muslims can’t even watch a video like this without taking themselves to the comments and saying something about Palestine
I'm not Jewish and I found this insight into the culture fascinating. It clearly shows all the efforts that went into it. Thank you for showing this to the world, I think it's brilliant
i am jewish
Sinner, thank you for revealing what you're not. Very important detail.
@@Divinity_vA , if I rubbed you the wrong way, you'll get over it. Trust me, just give it time.
This is NOT insight. This is a view from a disconnected jew with a narrow ignorant view and even less experience with Jews that contribute to TORAH life and experience yet still apart as in scripture tells us.
If the wacko was so knowledgeable then why doesn't 'IT' resist the evil temptation. This video based on the wisdom and experience of a NUT??? C'MON.......
As a child of a former Hasidic father, these people can either be the most accommodating people or the ones who will shun you the most. I find my religion to be a beautiful, amazing religion but some of them are insane 😅
Nice to hear a nuanced opinion. As a female, I resent the patriarchal laws of this religious group which have men starting their worship service by thanking their God they were not born women.
@@giovanna722WHAAATT they do that???
I'm a Christian, and some of them are "insane" as well. Just like some "secularists", "atheists", "environmentalists", "leftists" etc are "insane" as well.
Tell us more Rebbe@@giovanna722
The blessing has to do with the women not having as many mitzvot as the man, but I know the woman is very respected. Depends where...I am an American...lives in Israel...learned in meah shearim which is like Williamsburg. I'm not chasidic like them anymore, but I love my people.
Great piece! Thanks for taking the time to document this. As a Jew born in Brooklyn and growing up in Manhattan, this bring a lot of clarity and understanding to even someone who lived there.
I am a 74 year old Catholic and I have always taken a special interest in Jewish history, ways and customs. This was by far, one of the most informative pieces I have ever seen and I thank you for your work and message. I found it fascinating and enlightening.
I need to pass this information that there is a genocide on the Palestinians in Gaza Please take 15 min to know the truth and to speak louder to stop this war crime.
same im like you
Have you read John 7-1 kjv
Ellos no creen en Jesús para ellos fue un revelde
Jewish women dress with modesty others dress horrible
A lesson we can all learn from this video: at least once a week, put the phone down and be in the moment with your family and friends. Thank you, Drew.
Agreed! I admire that. They put everything away to ensure bonds are kept and formed. We all could learn from that.
Amen
Even if it’s not for religious reasons. Taking some time out to be with your family and friends is a great thing to integrate into your schedule. :)
@@eggmon420 Sadly They doesn’t Convince Twitter Users Or TikTok Users
@@eggmon420 *Indeed. Jews or other religious people do NOT have a monopoly on this matter. I, for example, am an atheist. But, I still cherish my SECULAR family, spend time with them often, visit my mother (father is dead) at least once or twice a week, and for sure stay away from my cell phone often on a weekly basis when I am by myself and desire serious quiet time. I'm generation X, btw. My generation (people in their mid 40s through mid 50's) grew up without cell phones as kids. In any case, I also turn off the phone altogether when I am having dinner or lunch with family members in my house, their house(s), a restaurant, or if I'm with close friends enjoying their company. In sum -- if you have inner discipline, if you know how to live LIFE without all the nuisance and modern conveniences, if you treat fellow humans with respect and kindness -- you will be alright WITHOUT RELIGION.*
I might say this was one of my favorite videos you have made and I just discovered your channel about a month ago. I’ve watched a ton. This was fascinating, thanks Drew! ❤ from Tennessee!
An incredibly interesting video to watch. Thank you so much for your efforts in producing this wonderful insight in to the people within the Hasidic community. Peace to you all.
i am muslim and i was taught to hate jewish community because of israel and so on.. but now i am older and realised people have to see more of the world and build their own opinion about things and people! i have much respect to the jewish community and find them very interesting and enjoyed the video! i would love to visit.
Looks like you’re the only Muslim who can’t differentiate between Zionism and Judaism. There are real Jews who disagree with the modern day apartheid and oppression of the Palestinians, and there are Zionist and Jewish extremists who want to wipe every Palestinians from the face of this planet.
They hate us
@@nabati8903 we love life they love death so it is likely they will never get along.
Thank you for your comment. It is better that we get along with our neighbors.
For people reading, not all Muslims teach their kids to hate Jewish folk.
This was a very challenging story to tell, given all of the tension and controversy, but I felt that I did the best of my ability to tell a well-rounded story, highlighting both the positives and the negatives in the community. One note about the North Korean internet comparison - I do regret keeping that part in because it is not true, and I got carried away. Thank you to those who have pointed it out.
My team and I worked for 6 months to get this video edited and ready to post, and I am really proud of how it came out. Huge thanks to Abby Stein, Shloime Zionce, Beri Weber and the others who gave me their time to explain life in their community. As always, I welcome your comments, thoughts and suggestions about the Hasidics in the comments here. I will be reading them all and responding to as many as I can 🙏
When is the next video
I said it on the community post but Lakewood New Jersey and the surrounding towns have a huge population of Hasidics
What are your thoughts on the Silicon Valley Bank collapsing yesterday, Drew Binsky?
It's not fair to make a video with someone who's ex-hasidic and has a lot of animosity against Hasidic Jews.
@@yankelay2635 What happened?
Thank you for sharing this with the world. I loved it!
I loved this!! I lived in Williamsburg for two years and I learned more about my former neighbors from this video than from living a few blocks over from them. I have respect for this somewhat mysterious-seeming culture and I think some of their practices (like the kindness/judgement thing) are really beautiful. Anyway fantastic video!
Were you also aware their religious schools and communities are heavily subsidized by taxpayers?
I'm not only not Jewish, but not religious at all. I have no idea why TH-cam suggested this video to me but I'm incredibly pleased it did. I find it fascinating to learn about different peoples cultures, religions, or just their ways of life in a more general sense. You've earned a new subscriber today.
because Yiddish is the ultimate version of German. TH-cam has based linguistic views.
I'm also not Jewish, but have always felt close to any culture that KNOWS who they are. That sense of self on the societal and individual level... Idk it's closer to me as a Cajun than any other culture I live around here in northern California.
I'm JEWISH
But I'm free from religion
Thank u YESHUA ❤❤
Thank you for a very educational video. I feel that the more we learn re people and what they believe will broaden us as individuals.
Same lol
Same.
Those teenagers answers about the religion was so sincere and open minded. Such thoughtful smart kids. Seems like the community is raising good people. Something this society needs.
Agreed ! It’s one of my favorite parts
I go to YU, one of them was my friend, it’s a great community I think this video is great representation!
Let it be known to all:
Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins!
I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
"Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
1 John 2:2 KJV
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Acts 13:26-33 KJV
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.*
27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.*
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.*
30 *But God raised him from the dead:*
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,*
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
1 Peter 3:22 KJV
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
John 14:6 KJV
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Mark 16:16 KJV
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 8:24 KJV
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Acts 2:38 KJV
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 11:13 KJV
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:21-24 KJV
21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*

Such an interesting documentary,Drew.I am Muslim and this video on the life of Hassidic community is very informative and an eye opener.Judaisim and Islam actually have a lot in common and to me the most important thing is to respect each other's religion. Keep up the good work of bringing out the beauty of the world
Thank you as a Jew
Thank you 🙏🏼 ✡️☪️
Hey! As someone’s who’s Jewish and not very familiar with Muslim law/customs, could you explain to me the similarities? I would love to hear, thanks! 😊
I think the only belief that can save humanity,
is to love our world, nature and each other.
Any belief system that separates one human from another,
especially with violence,
Is a zero-sum game.
Why would God wish death or war OR SEGREGATION by his word?
If God created this amazing planet and everything on this planet?
Why would God want us to destroy each other or any part of it's beauty?
Orthodoxy is cozy...you feel safe having the "right" belief.
But to be "right" about what God wants means that another person hast to be "wrong" about what god wants.
This is what is often referred to as Zero-sum game.
There is the earth and it's flora and fauna.
We may be the "keepers" of the earth....as CHOSEN by God?
If we are.....don't we have to STOP making war?
Look at all the wars through the millennia......isn't it time to make the final law?
The law against WAR
SO that we can move forward in peace?
Didn't God create Physics if God created the World?
So then......God=Science=Math=Physics?
God=Truth=Math=Science=Physics=Law....etc...AND ETC.
God doesn't seem so complicated to me.....God=Truth=Geometry=Math......
Anyway you get my drift.
I recommend all ltra Orthodox religions look at the fossil record
That humans have unearthed, and found falling out of eroded rock.
Pliosaur......it's not in the Torah.
But it should be.

Very Pleased & thank you for making this happen. Learned something new & interesting today.
Thank you for sharing this video Drew. Although I am now a non-practicing conservative and then reformed Ashkinazi Jew I have always wanted to know more about the Hasidic community and you really covered it all. Great job sir!
I’m Ethiopian Christian living in NY and I immensely enjoyed this documentary. Kudos to your friend who let you film during Shabbat.
Me too dude am here .. but we suppose not filming on sve day becouse has dicsover the c from b
Yours is just one more mythology. Yawn.....
How you a Ethiopian christan when your the real jew😂😂 Good lord trace our roots back over 2000 years.
@afro Puerto Rican it must be a great detriment to go through life with such a low IQ .
From New York too and I absolutely loved this. I’ve shared space w this community my entire life but really knew nothing. Great documentary
Beautiful. As a African American women, I grew up in Liberty NY (Sullivan County) and then moved on to Middletown NY (Orange County) amongst the Jewish population and it was so good. I was invited to and went to my first Bat Mitzvah and then a Bar Mitzvah in Middletown, NY. The food is still so much part of my life. I just enjoy this culture and the many friends I still have. I thank God for my parents and theirs for being sincerely open to other cultures.
This is scary. I have never stumbled across anyone on the web that is from Liberty NY but I now can say I have because I have lived in Liberty NY for 10 + years and moved a little further towards PA & this documentary, many will not understand the impact that the Jewish community has had on Upstate NY.

Interesting video, thanks Drew, and huge respect to Abbie.
This was very interesting and well done. The respect you’ve shown to the rules and traditions are commendable. I enjoyed learning.
I’m a Muslim Imam, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this eye opening video by Drew. I gained additional insights into the various religious aspects of the diverse Jewish culture in the USA. Knowledge of all “hue-mankind” and all global religious traditions is essentially powerful and useful.It’s very important to me in by overall world views of various ethnicities and their religious understandings, which may be different from my deeply held orthodox Islamic beliefs. Drew deserves credit for displaying his religious faith for one and all to see. Much respect, again, is offered by me in taking the time to objectively watch this video. I gained much more valuable insight into Jewish culture and religious observances. Respectfully, Imam Al-Hajj Hakim Abdul-Ali.

Thanks for making this film. Beautifully done. Many things I loved in it, especially the right over left jacket. Kindness over Judgement. Yes.
What a wonderful documentary. I enjoyed it immensely. It's great to look at other cultures and experience their way of life and to treat it with respect.
Thank you for this amazing content! I am a Catholic woman, but I have several Jewish friends and I find learning about their culture quite fascinating. They are a people of love and devotion and commitment to their families and of carrying on tradition that was nearly wiped out in the war. They seem kind and loving and I thank all involved for allowing us to know a bit more about this faith!
I was raised Catholic too, but like Snow White ...... I drifted. I agree, this was a fascinating and educational video. I enjoyed it very much; and I share your views regarding their "love and devotion", 'commitment to family" and "tradition".
To Annie497 - I hope it was clear to you in the video that this is NOT the average Jewish person’s life. The Hassidic branch is very extreme, often to the point of being like a controlling sect, particularly for women.

Abby Stein was really courageous for helping with this tour. I understand the community didn't work for her, but she was neutral and even supportive about the way it works for others. I thought she made a great liaison, bridging the cultural gap. And it's also important because there is an LGBTQ population in orthodox communities which need to feel that they have a face, a voice and a choice. Many kudos and thanks to Abby for her charm and kindness in the making of this video.

What a tremendously wonderful and enlightening video. Thank you so much for that introspective. As someone who grew up in the LES of NYC, I’ve definitely seen and experienced that “us/them” feeling. This was eye opening and beautiful.
This was a very informative and eye-opening video for me! I'm from England and visited some friends in Stamford Hill (An area of London) which happens to be a massive Hasidic community, and I didn't understand a lot about it until watching this video. Thanks for making it, and doing so in such a respectful and open way.
Wow, I have learnt so much from your video about this community. Thank you for sharing
What an amazing journey - thank you so much! I truly enjoy watching the fantastic diversity we have in our world. Great respect for the community for keeping their faith in these times.
Thank you so much Drew for your very respectful and informative video! I love to learn about other cultures, religions, etc. I really loved learning a bit more about the Hasidic Jewish community.
Thank you for this refreshing, respectful and very educational video! Hugs from Japan!
Really interesting and nicely balanced, much better than the usual hit-pieces. Thanks for the insight.
As someone who grew up in Boro Park and left I want to thank you for an amazing storytelling of the community. For the first time a journalist was able to capture some of that hidden vibe that is so hard to experience for outsiders. Thank you🙏🏻
Really incredible work man! Also major props to your wonderful tour guide - she was so knowledgeable and kind, not to mention so beautifully brave!
I grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family, a rabbi’s daughter and also exposed to Chassidic Judaism and personally drawn to it. The passionate zeal, beauty and holiness in the traditional Torah centered Chasidic way of life is so unique. I went to Beis Yaakov summer camp for girls and was blessed to go to yeshivot and even study and live in the dormitory at the women’s branch of Yeshiva University with other Rabbi’s daughters. I left that fold at age 21 to experience regular American life, many people and cultures and other religions.
As for a holy and spiritual daily life, I don’t think anything else compares to Chasidic Judaism and that community life. I left it, but thankfully, it never has never left me. True love and beauty, holiness and kindness- are everlasting. I’m so grateful it’s still in me. This video is precious and yet I feel that you have to have experienced it to really take it in. I too, feel grateful that this wonderful attempt was made. ❤
I too was in an Orthodox Jewish community (Chabad in Brooklyn) a little over 3 years. And yes, though one may leave it, "it" never leaves you
what do you mean. chabad is more chill.@@eladsinger9215

This was incredible, thank you for the insight into this community. I have a new found respect for them thanks to your video 👍 Honestly your work deserves an award!
Really really great video. Thank you for doing this and sharing.
Appreciate your time making this video
I absolutely loved this, so sensitively done. I appreciate the opportunity to learn and found this compelling.
I really enjoy learning about other cultures, and this was very well done!
This is so interesting, thank you for sharing
So interesting learning about this community. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you so very much Drew. I feel blessed that this TH-cam channel found me. Through my life I ve had the privilege of knowing several Jewish families. Being a part of the traditions shown through your story reminded me of the kindness shown to me by my friends. Please thank all who kindly allowed your camera to enter their world. The more open we are to diversity the more we will learn to respect each other.
Shalom🕊
Wow, you did it again Drew. As a Muslim, you opened my eye to a different kind of Judaism and its beautiful culture. those Hasidic gave me respect toward them and their culture and love for their religion and to protect their identity. I believe will be peace in the world if we get closer to each other and know more about each other cultures. Great documents and thanks for sharing. Shalom, Salaam, Peace...!!
Judaism are doctrines of devils, they whom have *plagerize* the sacred scrolls. *The* *Point* *?*
They're *not* the *Jews/Ga"ah* They are the *enemies/foes*
What about Palestine?
pepole are not to be blamed. Its governmental warfare not that many jewish support that war, especially the newer generations
One love :)
@@yass2055 Did you not listen to the video? Most Orthodox Jews are heavily against Israel because the Messiah hasn’t returned yet and it’s an “unholy military state”.
They say there is no such thing as a dumb question but I think you broke that. 😂
As a person who grew up in Bedford-Stuyvesant ...and walked many times in Williamsburg I LOVED THIS FILM. At 70 years old this took me back to all I learned about the HASIDIC COMMUNITY and their traditions. Thank you!
That was amazing, thanks for the tour🙏💗🇺🇸
I’m not Jewish but I have always been fascinated by the Hasidic community. I have watched many documentaries and docuseries on this community in NY as well as other areas in NY that have similar sects and it’s always fascinating. Your view of it was even more profound as well as honest. 🦋
The insight, and familiarity you give people about the diverse Jewish communities across the planet is amazing. You've got a great feel for cultural history, and social studies. You've created an amazing body of educational material. Well done Drew.
I grew up conservative Jewish and it doesn't cut it for me...
The families have high divorce rates. They talk about politics and the state of Israel at Temple, a house of worship not political debate, and the families in conservative Jewish community move away from each another for career opportunities.
Orthodox Jewish people work with their hands, play instruments, don't get divorced and don't move away from family. Also they protest against the conflict with Palestine and avoid getting drafted.
I wish to be part of an Orthodox Jewish community one day
Greatly Thank you for this Beautiful video , many thanks to the Young Family 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
What a great video you produced.
Very insightful.
Hey Drew! Thank you so much for this beautiful portrait. I am a German Jew and it took me some time to get in touch with my heritage. You gave a well rounded and beautiful insight in to who we are. Thank you.
Thanks for making this. I always wondered about the “inside” and this glimpse has allowed me to appreciate this culture so much more! Part of exploring is understanding, and this shows you are a true explorer!
Thank You. It was extremely educational.
Thank you for the education on this fascinating community. Learned so much!
Thank you for such a fascinating informative vlog about a community I now realise I knew very little about. Congratulations for carrying such a challenging reporting job and thanks to all those within the various Jewish communities who helped you make and tell us a very interesting story.
Thanks, Drew! This is perhaps the most balanced and thoughtful video about religion I have ever seen. I especially liked the Shabbat segment; would that everyone did the same thing. Shalom!
Shalom and thank you!!
Religion is a collective delusion. These poor people don't even live in our world.

Thank you Abby for showing us your community! It was very interesting.
I’m not Jewish but I find learning how other people live their lives and beliefs to be incredible. Thank you so much for opening the door on all of this!

Their culture is dangerous and problematic stop this multiculturalism facade. I live in israel and i see what they are doing to this country, dont trust them shaky hands

I have always been interested in learning more about Jewish culture and then I see your video in recommended section :) It was fascinating to watch!Thank you for your hard work!❤
What a great educational documentary! Thank you.
I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks.
This is an extraordinary piece, I feel privileged to have been given an insight into the traditions, teachings and community.

How can anyone not love Shloime? I appreciate how he and his family have stepped out of the strict mold to share with joy so much information about this insular community for the world to see the most beautiful side of Hasidic culture. I’m sure this is a difficult path, but so important to educating the world. To me, this is a labor of love of which Hashem approve. Thank you and especially to Shloime for finding a Halachic way to share their special ways and your Shabbos experience. Yasher koach!

I’m from California and the sights are almost foreign to me but I love to learn about other cultures and I really appreciate the respectful way that you shared this community with us. Thank you ❤❤❤ no hate just love
Thank you for making this documentary. I really enjoyed watching and learning about this obscure but very interesting community.
I am a Muslim from India and I am your biggest fan. HATS OFF to you for showing us the reality of various countries. Your content is amazing and keep it up. This video gave alot of information about Jews and their community
Be it known:
Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins!
I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
"Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
1 John 2:2 KJV
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Acts 13:26-33 KJV
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.*
27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.*
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.*
30 *But God raised him from the dead:*
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,*
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
1 Peter 3:22 KJV
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
John 14:6 KJV
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Mark 16:16 KJV
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 8:24 KJV
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Acts 2:38 KJV
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 11:13 KJV
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:21-24 KJV
21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
The reason why you added you're muslim seems to suspect that it might sound contradictionary to be muslim and liking jews
Judaism is a peaceful religion , Zionism came after in the 1940's , Zionism is this idea that peaceful Jews are weak and Jews need to fight and defend , its ideology is similar to jihad , the problem is that Zionism is not a real religion , it was created by the British secret service ( Mi6 ) and the Americas ( CIA ) after WW2 , its essentially a man made ideology with secular and communist foundations that calls for a homeland , so its a man made religion just like Mormonism or Freemasonry , but Zionism has its own beauty , its got its own unique history , in any case I respect both Zionist and ultra conservative has disc Jews , both follow the same rules
@@larssrensen4353 for westeners yes they arn't used to muslims and jews love even tho here in morocco jews can pray in our mosques cuz we worship the same good
@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 then do you respect terrorists?? btw jihad means struggle thats it
Oh man, that moment the Father says a blessing on his children... tears. Beautiful. I learned so much and am so grateful for this video.
Thank you for giving insight into this community
This was beautifully done.
I am on a faith journey and wanting to make sense of things that perhaps I will never understand but I'm grateful for this piece of knowledge.

My mother in law spoke Yiddish frequently as a girl. Since she moved away from Brooklyn in her 20s she forgot most of them. I found the hasidic traditions fascinating and intimidating at the same time.
tradition to make a woman just a walking vagina, dressed to not be seen.they are treated like animals.
Not religious by any means myself, I find some of it silly, but holy hell do I have respect for GOOD religious people. If you manage to live such a strict life while not getting tied up in your own opinions that’s an insane amount of commitment and mental strength that’s not common enough now. Being able to live by your own means without dragging other down for using their free will.
@@heardemsayy it’s beyond ridiculous
@@MayorMcheese12 y
When written in romanized characters, I can understand much of it as it has similarities with German (for obvious reasons).
Drew, wonderful and respectful presentation of the Hasidic lifestyle in Brooklyn. Just wish that you would do a follow-up episode with Shloime showing you around Borough Park from his inside perspective so that he could explain the meaning and history of the various Hasidic rituals.
I absolutely enjoyed every minute of this wonderful documentary ❤
I enjoy watching documentaries and the very best ones are when they touch on all aspects of their lives in each sect. This documentary did that beautifully and gave me a full and better understanding and experience of they way each sect lives and practices Judaism ❤❤❤
Well done and incredibly entertaining and informative.
This was fascinating!! I now understand and have such respect for them.
I LOVED seeing all the Yiddish magazines and street signs!!! So cool! I'm a secular Jew living in Melbourne, Australia and learnt Yiddish at my primary school and now speak fluently. There is a thriving and growing Yiddish community here in Melbourne with more and more people choosing to learn Yiddish, not just from the Hasidic community. Great vid!
I absolutely loved meeting the guy at 9:27. What a beautiful human being! You can tell that he loves life and people. Thank you Drew for a fascinating glimpse into this amazing culture. My deepest gratitude and respect also goes out to those in the community who were so welcoming to your project, and thus, by proxy, to me.
If God’s anywhere, it’s definitely inside that guy. What a kind man.
Thank you. I have always been interested in the Jewish lifestyle because of the close family lifestyle i did not have. Nice journey! Good job.❤
Great video, well said at the end.
Shloime!!! Him and Peter Santenello did a FANTASTIC job in their doc... you doing this and just diving even deeper busted it wide open.
Awesome job Drew. Really well produced
Yes Peter did a fantastic job!
Peter’s doc is the reason I came to this one, I find the community fascinating even tho I’m not religious myself. I was adopted and my mother is Jewish, so I’ve always been fascinated by the faith as it’s been a part of my life as it’s a part of my family.
@@drewbinsky I would love to see a video of you and Peter Santanello talking about your experiences filming in this community ❤️
I grew up in Monsey, New York, and I experienced the Hasidim people and their communities for 18 years. I appreciate your fine and respectful work, Drew, in showing and explaining these thriving communities.
YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON THIS
Thank you so much. I stumbled on the video and am so pleased I did.
