A grocery store full of unusual items | A Passover-time tour

- Hasidic grocery stores go hardcore for Passover. They sell a whole assortment of unusual items, from ten bread crumbs, to salt water, to unbelievably bitter horseradish. They also stop selling bread, rice, beans, corn for eight days! It's a grocery store full of tradition and meaning, and on this tour, I show you around for some of it.
Many thanks to Landau's Grocery Store in Boro Park for the hospitality during the busy Passover season.
Landau's Grocery Store
4510 18 Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11204
I pray safety and peace over this community in times of hatred. Amen 🙏🏼
Amen, amen. Hard times.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn are you still jewish?
which path have you taken?
Growing up a gentile in New Jersey, I learned to appreciate Jewish kosher for Passover treats. The reason? I had to follow a gluten free diet. Way back when, those products were often tastier than early commercial gluten free items found in a health food store. Of course, nowadays the manufacturers have learned a few tricks. But I still "raid" the kosher section this time of year.
Your videos and interviews are so interesting. You also "woke up" a long forgotten memory of my Mother teaching me the "cat's cradle" with bakery string. So "old school" no matter what your religion. That is one of the many things I admire about the Orthodox Jews. Traditions and keeping kids kids. Simple games. Thank you for your videos. Happy Passover!
Me too I can’t remember all the moves with the string and I am getting frustrated. Please make video with all the different things they can make with the string that would be fun.
Yup it was popular when I was a kid so its fun to see kids still doing it, I like the fact they aren't glued to phones and go outside to play instead because they aren't exposed to a lot of technology.
@@michelleg7 I agree
Here is Christ's question
Mathew 15: 3: "But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?"
Malachi 2: 1-4: "And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts."
A women say "the Husband has no name". Another ones say "the Husband has many names". Some of women "love the Husband in all his manifestations" like: neighbour, taxi driver, coworker...
But, all of those prostitutes say "the Husband is the only".
Then they even talk about "trinity of the Husband" and they are not against "the Son taking the Husband's place".
In the same way religious prostitutes try to hide their disgusting fornication with different gods.
Furthermore, a correct pronunciation of the Name is unknown now.
Here is the God's word spoken through Moses,
Deuteronomy 11: 16-17: "Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you."
So, the God says there are other gods, but blind leaders of blind lead people into trap.
"Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for.
"HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah).
Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers feel so good while righteous people are persecuted.
That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom.
Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
Wonderful video Frieda as usual. Chag Pesach Sameach! May all the hostages be released and returned safely to their families and may the war be over.
Amen ❤️💔💔❤️🩹 From your mouth to god’s ears.
Hi Freida, what a great video. I always learn from your videos. You are a teacher of all things Jewish. Have a great rest of passover
Joe, always delighted to see your comment. Wishing you a wonderful chag and to your aunt!
From bedikas chometz to toiveling Frieda has given us a wonderful glimpse of what is involved in Pesach prep vis a vis a grocery store. Shared family customs are the icing on the cake! A zisn Pesach! Shkoyakh!
Lovely Zelde, a ziessen Pesach to you!
SO happy to see a new video again! ❤
I hope you like it!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklynI love all your videos!
I have a very early memory of Passover at my grandparents house, hearing the story of matzo, and innocently asking “why didn’t they just make tortillas?”
love it
😂are we allowed to say that it would probably have been better?
Sefardic matzah is more like soft tortillas
SO CUTE!
Or Indian rotis Indian eat unleavened bread all the time
I remember last year's Passover video and your cameraman's hat. It was hilarious last year and just as fun to watch in this video. I echo the sentiments of many who have posted and wish the Jewish community all the best during this very sad time. As always, thank you, Frieda. You are such a light and positive voice for understanding and learning.
Oh Andrea you’ve been on this ride for almost as long as it’s been… a ride! Last year was an experience and I enjoyed reminiscing about it. I love quirky little human exchanges; it so fills the world with the color of personalities.
Sounds like a gold mind for a person with cleaning OCD issues.
Yeah, no doubt it happens. People predisposed to OCD can really lean into it in an "acceptable" way and it can get so out of hand. We all in/from this world know some instances.
Ocd can be expressed in any area of life by those who suffer from it. Including religion. Spending endless hours repeating the words of the prayers, excessive (ritual) hand washing etc. Most ppl out there don't have this mental illness though. Yet they'll have to clean their property thoroughly for pesach whether they like it or not.
I'm not jewish but as a kid my mom would buy stuff that was on sale in the Jewish section of the grocery after the various holidays. The foods were drastically discounted and we got to try out new things. That's how I tried the gefilte fish in a jar for the first time. I've never seen matzos that expensive before.
Was the gefilte fish good?
My mom would eat that in the store pregnant out of the jar. Me and my 5 sisters wouldn’t try it. Now at 63 fish in a jar no way!
Frieda, this was very interesting as are all your videos. You talk about Gluten Free products but are there any people in the community who would follow a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle? Is eating meat/fish required?
@@carolalm0823 There are some vegetarians and vegans but I think not many. We have a strong tradition of eating meats on special occasions (it used to be very hard to come by and very rare, so it was a very important part of festivities) and it might be considered a way of honoring, let's say, shabbes, to eat fish and other animals. But still, there are SOME vegetarians, although I think it's rare. I used to be a vegetarian and I was shopping once and a Hasidic man suggested a meat product to me. I told him I don't eat meat and he got quite upset, saying that Hitler was a vegetarian but his empathy to animals meant nothing because of how he treated humans. That stayed with me.
@@lindatohara6438 Wait, was the moment pregnant or your mother? She sounds like a character!
Thank you for the wonderful tour. Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, in this very hard time. Praying for peace in the world.
Amen, praying for peace and the end to so much division and suffering.
Glad you could film
Terrific episode! I really love learning things about the background of rituals and holidays. Thank you!
I love the poppy seed and onion matzo ,hard to find sometimes , 😋
Ooooh, yes! With hard boiled mashed eggs -- amazing!
Wonderful video! I absolutely love learning about the traditions, and histories, of communities (everywhere) that are so beautifully unique.
I hope and pray that our world will soon come together in mutual respect of our differences. 💙
Frieda, I am a Hebrew and theology professor in the Midwest, a traditional Catholic. I found your channel this week and have been enjoying it so much! You put a spotlight on so many fascinating places and wonderful people. Thank you!!
Thank you so much - your comment is so lovely. Wishing you a wonderful weekend :)
This is so thoughtfully done and well put together. Thank you for this thought provoking presentation.
Thank you!
As I listen further, please allow me to share one thought.
So that people don’t stress too much about Passover and the subject of removing Chametz from your personal domain (your residence). The most important aspect of this removal is the tradition that we have for Hillel, meaning the proper sale of your personal chametz over Passover to a non-Jew. That sale can be arranged easily even before you start thinking about any aspect of cleaning. You are 100% covered and the stress aspect is gone. Go through the motions of your cleaning and putting away, but with no worries or arguments that you are keeping Passover completely!
Serve G-d with joy!
Happy Passover!!!
My aunts made their own gefulte fish and 12 egg sponge cakes.Happy memories of tasty food.
I just found your channel and find it very interesting and has answered a lot of questions about this unique culture. I'm not from New York, but when I visited my aunt, who lives in Brooklyn, I went to Williamsburg. I didn't take any photos because I felt it would have been disrespectful to them. I am amazed and happy to see that there are so many willing to let you film in their shops, and even film conversations with you.
My understanding of kitniyot is because those grains/beans are often grown near wheat, which could contaminate those crops.
Always a good day when I learn from you!
That's one explanation. Kitniyot (legumes, rice ) are not eaten because of the visual resemblance of rice flour, cornstarch and others to wheat flour and the fear of confusing them. Among the Sefardim there are different customs concerning what they do or do not eat on Passover, some eat rice, others do not. Some eat fresh legumes but not dried legumes. Passover can be summed up as a time when everyone is looking to be more stringent about being careful not to eat chometz, each community according to their respective minhagim (religious customs) and traditions handed down thru the generations. Hope you had a kosher and happy Pesach.
Thank you Frieda! I look forward to your videos.
Loved hearing about all the traditions and the store tour! ❤ so interesting! Also that hat exchange was so fun to watch 😆
Thank you so much PoppyOak!
Thank you so much for showing this and explaining... I am always learning so much from you... looking forward to more of your videos...
Thank you butterfly!
I very much appreciate all your effort when filming, and an extra thanks to shop owners that let you use their shops.
Thank you!❤️ The shopkeeper was lovely.
Love your going into the store shopping, it's fun to see the different products, do more please, thanks
Another great video! I appreciate you saying the correct word and interpreting the word and the meaning and symbolism of it. It enriches the topic.
Thank you!
Ah nice to get a Frieda video notification. Looking forward to watching this later. ❤️
😁
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn loved it- Very informative. We had a bit of a shocker of a day at work today, so this very much brightened it. ❤️ Hope you’re having a good Thursday.
@@RachG Oh no, I hope everything is okay.
I made deep fried stuff today and my face is shiny. Always a good day when that happens!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn that sounds like a lovely day. 🤣 What have you been deep frying?
@@RachG everything in the kitchen! It started with potatoes, which is the correct way to start!
Chag sameach Frieda! Great video. Thanks for explaining about why vegetables still covered in earth. My husband and I always wondered why the items we bought had that.
Chag sameach! They are called imgavashene vegetables and always so large. Do you find that they taste much sweeter? That’s my experience.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn yes, the fruits and vegetables are huge and delicious. This year, however, the horseradish my husband bought and grated, didn’t have the same bite as usual. It was full of dirt/earth. Must’ve been an aberration. 😉
Love this! I remember being 7 or 8 years old and stridently insisting that my (very confused, Episcopalian) family *must* have a seder like my best friend's family did. They tried their best to humor me, but no one wanted to eat matzos.
😂
Another great video. I love the veg section and how everything still has dirt on it. Its how i grew up in Poland. We also bought matzah and challah all the time as it was always at the supermarket. This was over 30 years ago now. I always have horseradish at home, i eat it with meat and pastrami. I grow my own. Its so good for a cold and to unblock a blocked nose lol. Also so good mixed with grated beetroot. I love that the Jewish people still keep tradition. Love these videos.
Freida, sending you and your loved ones warm wishes for a happy and peaceful passover.
Amen, thank you, sending good wishes back!
You are so nice, kind and lovely!!! Congratulations for you videos from Italy
Thank you!! Ciao!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn ciao!
Frieda I find your videos so interesting. May you be blessed as you seek to educate and enlighten others
Thanks so much! Happy everyone is bearing with me after we lost the audio on the segment and we made do with shoddy backup audio.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn never would have guessed that. I really enjoyed the content 🌸
Your hair looks great. Really suits you. Love you shows by the way
Thanks so much! Some days it’s nice to hear a kind word about stuff like my hair.
Thank you for yest another delightful and educational video. As always, your presentations are perfection and it was wonderful to experience a tour of Landau's. Chag sameach!
Thank you! Have a wonderful weekend. :)
Frieda your spoiling us I love the content an the way you do your videos I've watched you for a while now .
That supermarket is amazing so I need cakes an the supermarkets in my life thankyou for another great programme 😀
Ha ha, nothing like eating with your eyes through the screen. Lots of cakes in that supermarket; wish I'd eaten some for the video.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn yes you eating over cakes would have been the icing on the cake lol
Greetings from Illinois. Thank you for a fascinating look into Passover foods and traditions. Wherever I travel (in the US or abroad), I try to stop in a local grocery store and see what is unique to that place. I learn so much from browsing the shelves and a little bit of people watching! Praying for a peaceful Passover for you and all those dear to you.
You and I are the same! I also have a thing for ethnic/local grocery stores. I’ll see a Russian grocery store and spend forever exploring it… same for a Chinese, foreign country, etc. I think the little differences in cultural foods speak a lot to unique cultural quirks but in the end there’s so much that’s actually similar.
That is quite a big grocery! Thanks for this video! Happy Passover!
Thank you, have a great week!!
These food laws and all the implications are so interesting. The holidays are also very interesting.
Been a while since I've seen a comment from you! Hope all is well with you :)
@FriedaVizelBrooklyn we had a major holiday on Thursday and my daughter got engaged. We had a big potluck and it was a wonderful day. Ascension Day is a beautiful day that is joyful, but also sad because it was the end of the story with our leader who we love and he left us here on the Earth. He told us if we loved one another and keep the commandments, we'll be sustained by the Spirit of the Lord until the end. It is a message of great hope, in particular in these frightening times.
My eldest announced her engagement at a potluck we had.
I had to extract a prenuptial for my daughter because the one she will wed is from a more strict group. She's 20 and I don't want her to quit school unless she wants to, just because the boy is Amish. But promises were made and I think it will be alright. Good news is, she's staying close by and will live a similar life. Our church is small and she's liked this boy for years, so it is good. If she married our church, she would probably have to go to Canada.
Her fiance is a kind young amish man, he is nice to animals and treats his mother with great care and respect. He also respects me, and more importantly my daughter.
Fantastic video again !!! 😊 💕 Thanks Frieda !❤ Educational and fun too ! 😁
Thank you so much for coming along for the ride :)
Your channel is awesome!!! 💜
This was very interesting! Thank you - Chag Pesach Sameach!
I went to a kosher grocery store last week (so before Passover). I couldn't believe the quantity of shelves that were unavailable!! The store was full of people (which was nice) but I'll have to go back for stuff I wanted (alef beis cookies, cereals, chocolate bars, etc.). Have to add that some items were 3-4x their usual price 😳
The grocery store you went to looks amazing! Thank you Frieda for sharing. Hope you are enjoying Passover. ❤
I'm floored by how many Passover products there now are. There used to be lady fingers and yogurts, and the majority of the store was closed off. Now you can buy so many things.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn Really? Well I'm glad then that the availability, the choices are greater than before.
Thanks for asking how my passover went.
(Can't reply to the previous comment because the film was deleted).
It was uneventfull, a great exercise in not getting triggered.
I hope you and your family are doing well, with all those violent protests.
Great video as always. Keep up the great work!
You videos are so helpful and useful. And fun.
Hi Frieda, nice grocery store. I saw those rainbow cookies ( cake )in a grocery store by me, I remember having them when I was younger. Have a great week. TTFN
Before we left the proprietor asked me if I wanted anything and I asked for the rainbow cake.... So good even for passover, especially with coffee. Have a great weekend!
Another fascinating video - thank you!
Thank you, hope you have a great weekend :)
chicken arm are the best 😆 Happy Passover💙
I did KNOW that chickens don’t have arms… lol! I was literally translating its Hebrew name. Have a great week!!
A question I have whenever I see more modern products/inventions being used (like your example of using a ton of aluminum foil to cover a kitchen, but I've also seen a kitchen be kashered with a blow torch and electric backlights be used to sort grains), is what did people do before those products/inventions existed? What did they cover their homes with, how did they sort their grain, and how did they kasher their kitchens?
Such a great question. I would assume that with the invention of things like silver foil, people have become more stringent and added on precautions that weren’t there before. I know for a fact that you could prepare counters for Passover by Kashering, which was a process involving boiling water and a brick (I’ve also seen the blow torch process, a new import I think). I do think on the whole the advent of new technologies has brought new degrees of extreme precaution. Would love to hear from anyone who can further answer this question.
They used a piece of wood or blech for counters table clothes sheets(not exactly water proof) .
And a crate or metal milk crate type basket.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn you answered the question correctly. No need to hear more. New inventions have improved overall quality of life including religious life. It's much easier and cheaper today to maintain high religious standards than it has ever been. And the standards are much higher too these days.
It's so easy to be a frum jew these days that you wonder why not everyone is.
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you
❤️
1:50 My mother, who lived in Arizona, was very interested when she find out that the wheat for Satmar matza is grown in Yuma, Arizona. (Like Gemara Yuma :) )
Hadn’t made the connection between the two Yumas!
Everything looks so yummy. Thank you for this. So many things I had no idea. Always interesting and informative. Happy Passover to you. Can’t wait for the next video.
Happy Passover ❤️
Thank you for taking us to the store. I married into a Jewish family who was two generations from being practicing and was struck in your video by the procedures involved in preparing for Pesach. My husband’s family has OCD in several members and I wonder how prevalent it is in the community members.
We get it out of our system preparing for passover😂
Always so interesting! Great job!
Thank you! It was filmed late late at night on the eve of Passover, so it was really an intense environment!
Absolutely delightful!!
Really interesting. Thankyou
another great one Friedele!
I like the hiding 10 crumbs thing. That would be incredibly annoying if you couldn’t find the last one (which is absolutely something that I’d do!!) 😂. Think I’d ‘hide’ them all in the same place.
Also, just watched the potato flour video - quite a process!! I’d definitely buy it 😂😅.
Ha ha you always crack me up. I’m laughing that you volunteered to buy it before I offered you up to the world to demonstrate the making of!
I’m glad you figured out what I was saying about the ten crumbs because it wasn’t very clear. Hiding them all in the same place is a very wise hack. You shouldn’t post it here; you should charge for your advice, make bank!
By the way I’m running the Brooklyn Half Marathon together and drawing inspiration from your own sporadic running to tell myself I can do this!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn well, fortunately you already have a demonstration 😉😂
FRIEDA! That’s amazing. You’re running it tomorrow? Well today now, I guess?! You can totally do it! I completely believe in you! I’ll be cheering you on 📣 and feeling super proud from afar. I hope you can hear me?! Ha ha. Let me know how you get on!!
I’m totally drawing running inspiration from you now! I REALLY need to get back to running properly. I used to love it and run all of the time!!
Aaaanyway, wishing you all the very best! Have fun!! 🤩🏃🏼♀️🥇🌟
I love how you explained the significance of going the extra measure in and of itself. There's something truly adorable about that. It's like the performative goodbyes I have with my parents, where I start to go three or four times but we keep talking about something else, so then have to hug and kiss again, ha!
Awwww, that's the sweetest, truly.
Wow! What a place! Thank you for taking me somewhere I've never been. Love the content, style, and editing of your work. Always a pleasure to watch!
Thank you! Chag sameach!
I heard that expression being translated as "Next year in Jerusalem!". Sounded much more funny than in my native language.
Oooh i'd love some oberlander baby fingers i see there! My local stores ran out of them and its a staple around here over these 8 days and beyond.
Baby fingers (or lady fingers when we were growing up) with cottage cheese. Yum!
Never heard of them with cottage cheese! I'm not a fan of any of the pesach cookies or cakes but the lady fingers deserved to be part of this story. We just didn't get to it!
Growing up I’d eat matzah or banana with cottage cheese
A great video! All the best!❤
Thank you! Enjoy the weekend :)
Hey Frieda! Thanks for sharing these curiosities with us❤
Thanks for watching!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn 🩵
Love your video too
Happy Passover!
Thank you! Happy Passover/have a great week :)
Thank you for the interesting tour! Very much reminds me of the exquisite care taken in manufacturing/handling products for natural/organic markets.
Love the video Frieda. You’re the best!
Thank you so much my friend. Had a major technical issue with the audio here so happy people aren’t chewing me out over it. I almost chucked out the whole segment.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn I’ve learnt people are always gonna judge. I have to work during Shabbat. New job, I told the owner after I got hired on. I put on my kippah after. Asked for Shabbat off. She said I didn’t know you was a Jew. I’m like well ok I’ll work it. I took my kippah off before the interview, but noticed after I had one of the tassels from my tzitzit 😂. It’s been 5 weeks. I’m starting to feel the tole. I pay the rabbi all the money I make during working on Shabbat. I am thinking, when will something give. I am Appalachian Jew, not Hasidic, but mostly the same rules and regulations. I feel like a hypocrite. A guy today said Sorry I keep Shabbat. I replied, I either Work or starve. So I work. It’s taking a tole on me. Sorry for the rant. I do love your videos. Keep it up, It’s people like you, who give us the motivation to keep trying to be the best version of ourselves.
Shalom frieda viezal best wishes from a Pakistani American chabadnik 😎🇮🇱🔯🇺🇸🔯🇵🇰🔯😙love your videos
That food shop looked wonderful. When I go somewhere on holiday I have to go to the local markets and supermarket. I enjoy buy their meets and cheeses. I'm not Jewish so I have no food riles.
I'd enjoy looking at everything in this food shop, it looks very inviting. 01:54 and no w I'm starving.
Great video. Looks a great store. Thank you.
Thank you! Looking at food is fun 🤤
Frieda thank you for this lovely video and although Passover has passed over I sure enjoyed it. Best wishes to the store owners. It is a truly wonderful store. Have a great weekend. Bill. Uk 🙏🍰🇺🇸
I love your channel ❤
This is so interesting thank you , from the UK x
Thank you!
Iloved gefelta fish. My husband buys salmon because l like it with lemon.. we only have wine on communion= passover like 1 tablespoon. That is my difference❤🎉
Great video
Happy Passover
Happy passover!
Hopefully you had a good Passover!
It was nice. Always nice when it's over and we're back to pastries in the bakeries!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn I can imagine. I wish I could try some of their pastries.
Love your channel and your videos.
Thank you so much always!
Frieda- another wonderful video showing and explaining about the rituals associated with food- for Passover. Especially in these days, education is even more important. Thanks to Landau’s for welcoming you. Thanks again to you for all the hard work you do. I hope you are having a Zissen (sweet) Pesach. ❤
That’s what I believe. Sharing and learning about each other helps us connect. At a time of so much division, I think connecting is so important.
WIshing you a wonderful Pesach.
I wish we had a kosher store like that where I live.
I saw a kosher for Passover deli this week with every imaginable ready to eat kosher for Passover food. The stuff they sell in Brooklyn boggles my mind!
Thats a big store thank you Freida❣️
Thank you Debbie :)
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn Thank you Freida thanking me😘
Frieda such a positive outlook and a true taste of Pesach shopping. This year and last year we had the Zechus to be in Yerusholoyim for Pesach. The highlight both years was the official Birkas Cohanim on our first day Chol Hamoed. The atmosphere, achdus, homelyness, is indescribable.
Lovely. It's my prayer to be next year in Jerusalem. Perhaps. Hopefully. It's very special to be on the high holidays in Israel.
So u would like to be in Yerusholayim for Rosh Hashanah/Yom Kippur/Succos or Pesach? In Tishrei flats are sky high expensive. For Pesach I could help you find a flat.@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn
לשנה הבאה בירושלים! חג שמח:)
אמן! חג כשר ושמח!
Fresh gefilte fish is even better. You should do a video of from scratch gefilte fish!
Never in my life had fresh Gefilte fish! I’m intrigued.
My grandmother made ours and when I got older I helped. After she died my mother would by it in large cans. She didn't like to cook.
I love Landaus!
This was my first time there - lots of friendly people! And one woman came up to me to give me notes on my video about Snickers vs Smirk, telling me that she disagreed with my take - which was funny. Very heimish environment.
Nice overview!
For cosmetics alcohol can be an issue, as well as oils from kitniyot.
Great point! I was looking at all the ingredients they listed that might be an issue, lots of fancy product names.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn I wrote about this in one of my comments on this video.
In my L.I. neighborhood, our local volunteer fire department oversees the burning of the chometz.
Keilim is generally translated in English as tools, but in this case for the purpose of immersing keilim in water, you might want to translate it to vessels.
I am not sure that vessels would work though... Would it? I mean, forks aren't exactly vessels?
Utensils.
As a youngster,Passover food had less choices than they are today.
❤
What a wonderful video! So interesting. Chag Sameach
☺️ thank you, happy Passover time.
Like for your online NY tour .
First time I saw you frowning online . It all good , everyone is happy here - views are growing fast . 😁
Which video are you talking about, this one? By the way, English is great!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn Yes, this one.Orthodox shop ,,had to watch some on 2X . At least you know what you are talking about . Some orthodox things are new to me.
Chag Sameach, Frida! I love Passover, especially with all the gluten-free treats they are introducing. 😂
Anything with sugar and it’s totally loveable.
In my home we use the chicken neck for zeroia
Me and this fella who was there had a discussion about this. Apparently some people use part of the lamb?
Since the zeroa is to commemorate the korban pesach we go out of our way to make it clear it's not the actual one. That's why we put a bone and not meat. Others - like chabad - will use a chicken neck AND remove most of the meat for that reason.
Reminds me of the ol' Pbs shows
Another fascinating episode. (sorry i discovered your channel recently and IM CATCHING UP ON PAST episodes)
I had on real Cringe moment. was skipping through and got to the two guys trying to sell their whiskey and bread to the camera man.
Foe a second i thought they were trying to sell it to you......
Was waiting for the moment the sale would be halachikly complete and for u to tell them in yiddish that you would be using the whiskey for the arba koises ..........
Afterwards I realized that you were just the broker
That scene was hysterical. They asked in advance if I was Jewish so they weren’t going to sell to me anyway… thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the video, Frieda. Every year I say I'm not going to have gefilte fish out of the jar...and every year I do. I love schmura matzo, so crispy and I love the parts that are burnt. If I found out that my husband spent $80 for a box I would kill him. Its bad enough when he buys an esrog for $20, its a freakin' lemon! lol The first few years we were married he somehow convinced me that we needed to aluminum foil the kitchen but I broke him of that habit. I told him that I'm sure my grandparents didn't do things like this.
Thanks for the laugh!! Glad your husband hasn’t taken up such life threatening activities as buy a box matzoh for eighty bucks. It’s insanely expensive but also tastes very differently from the box version. Feels like everything is so expensive now, even the machine matzah.
Frieda, l learn so much from you. From your other videos. I see myself in you. Now that said, l have a question, you metioned potatoe flour , could that be instant dry potateo flakes or do you add four to it?❤😅
Hi Judy!! I actually showed how potato flour is made in this video (I'll paste the link). It's essentially dried out the starch of the potatoes. It ends up very powdery and looks flour like, like a blue-ish white flour. You are not allowed to use regular flour except for matzos.

This was a great video. Our grocery store has a kosher for Passover area, but it’s just an endcap on the end of an aisle much smaller lol and as I mentioned before about Catholic school, we would do a Seder meal and I remember the horseradish I don’t know why we did it. I guess just learning about other religions and I thought It had something to do with maybe celery and maybe half of a boiled egg, I could be wrong. It was a long time ago since I was in first grade. lol
You were an A+ student. There's eggs involved in the Passover sedar as well as horseradish. Horseradish is incredibly bitter. I ate it this year and woah it's an intense experience!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn lol but that’s not even the bitter herbs that are supposed to be included on the meal is it?
Some pple use celery for "karpas" part of the seder. It's dipped in saltwater and eaten to remember the tears of Jewish slaves in Egypt.
@@tourots Thank you, I did remember celery!
Chag Sameach! I enjoyed your video, I never thought of looking at my make-up for hametz. Luckily, I don't wear that much since I started working from home.
You probably wouldn't know what the issues are just by looking at the ingredients. There are various lists online and of course there is the blumenkrantz book shown in the video. He follows the strictest standards. Your local orthodox rabbi might be more lenient when it comes to products that in their current form are no longer edible to a dog. The more stringent opinion maintains that if after reversing the process the original chometz ingredient could become edible again it's forbidden to have any pleasure from even in it's current inedible state.
You’re lucky; during the pandemic I went months without makeup and my skin thanked me for it.
