In terms of the comment about, “sometimes I see the good and other times I don’t but I know it’s good” I think what he is saying is the concept we believe about how God put us all in this world with a mission and purpose and the experiences we have in life are tailor made for us to achieve our purpose and mission. Sometimes, things occur that feel and seem terrible by any measurement. But we believe that ultimately what is happening is for our good, to bring about something in ourselves to help us grow and achieve a higher purpose. There are so many mind blowing examples of people who have lost loved ones or experienced hell on earth and demonstrate such complete faith in the plan of God and in how these situations are helping them grow and come closer to their higher purpose. Obviously we pray every day that we should not have to experience such things but if they occur we do try to accept that they are for our best. It is really a lifelong work to be able to fully embrace this concept that this young boy is describing so easily and we really consider it a foundation to our faith.
Ahhhhh, I see. Ya that would probably be a hard concept for people to grasp, especially with those instances of loss/suffering. Seeing that there is some good in those events seems almost impossible, but I can see putting I. That work could help you. I thought it was more of a situation like what I described, where even if you think it's a bad situation it actually could have been worse. Which is maybe more adjacent to what he was saying 😅.
Regarding internet usage: as shown in the video there are those with no internet access at all or just for business with strong filters. Others who are less strict will have a smartphone for general use as well but almost everyone will have it filtered to block out inappropriate sites. Many hasidim won't have social media apps other than WhatsApp which has become the Jewish social media hub of choice to interact through groups and status posts because you can only follow those who are mutual contacts
What you said about the internet touches on an important belief in judaism: G-d created everything for a reason. Each creation can be used properly and in a healthy manner, to make us better people and bring us closer to G-d, or it can be used improperly in an unhealthy way and G-d forbid drag us down and separate us from Him. Men and women sit separately by prayer for the same reason they stay separate at any other venue: it would be immodest for them to mingle - not to mention extremely distracting - when you are praying and attempting to focus all of your mind on speaking with G-d. Thank you for being so interested and pleasant, you're videos are extremely enjoyable to watch!
Regarding the women's section at the synagogue: it is designed so that the men should be focused on the prayers and not be distracted by looking at women who may be attractive. Their section is smaller because alot fewer women come to the prayers because alot of them are at home taking care of the family. That is actually the reason why women are not obligated to pray in the shul. For them it is optional and most will do it privately at home if they have the time Regarding the non-jews in the neighborhood: generally everybody co-exists just fine but unfortunately there are anti-Semitic incidents here and there with thugs beating up hasidic jews or knocking off their hats and running away
Regarding seeing the silver lining in everything: He was trying to say that we believe everything that happens was for a good reason, and really we don't have to know what that good is, just believe it was part of G-d's plan, and therefore is for the good of the world. Then he said that sometimes we even get a small glimpse into why something was good, for example when someone missed his flight, which ended good since it crashed. But even if he never found out it crashed, he would still believe there was a good reason he missed his flight, even if he didn't know why, because he knows G-d is taking care of the world, and only wants good for the world. In his example of 9/11, we believe there's a good reason for such an attack even if we don't have an inkling why.
There is a rule that men are not allowed to pray in the same room as a woman. There are multiple reasons for it but in a way the "mechitsa" as it's called separates men and women but also brings them closer together because now they can kinda pray in the same room or synagoge.
even places that "have the dress code" -no one there will really enforce you to dress like them but you may get uncomfortable from their looks or from just being the only one dressed differently
Regarding the phones. Many have a "kosher phone"- just call and text for their whole day. And his business phone might have filtered internet, but he'll use it just for business.
Women and men must be seated separately in synagogue. Synagogues which are more sensitive to an egalitarian sentiment will be structured to feel separate but equal. However many synagogues just prioritise convenience for the men who are obligated to attend over the women are coming by choice.
Internet - many Hasidic Jews don't use the internet (also smartphones), because the exposure to bad influences on the net, like pornographic and violence and the easy ability to access them. Also the time people, especially kids, spend online is an issue. Those who use the internet, use it for work purposes and usually keep the comp at their office, not at home, if they can, and if they do have a computer they have filtering software or Server-based filtering that prevent the access to certain websites, and you can choose the level of filtering. Many of Chabad, do use the internet, filtered mostly, I think you already saw that Chabad use all the modern tech to spread Judaism to Jews and they use all kinds of media for that. They call it "use modern for holy purposes". I personally use the net, as you can see, I have Facebook and Instagram, and look how much time I spend here... 😜 As for seeing the good in everything - it's completely not about "oh, it could been worse". We believe that all what G-d does is for the better. Sometimes you get see it, and sometimes you don't. But even if it looks bad, we know that that is the best thing for us at this point. As someone here in the comments already stated, sometimes you get a small glimpse into why something was good, but it's only supposes to help you realize that all the rest is good too, even when you can't see it. We always pray to see the good in our eyes and not just know things are good. Keep up! It's wonderful! Tzippy

It would be intereating. Who knows? You may very well have some Jewish ancestry. Being Portuguese, actually increases that then the average non Jewish person, since you may have an ancestor that was a converso.
Please react to Lenny Solomon Shlock Rock Trust in God. It is a fun video and I think you'll like it and it has a lot of concepts about having trust in G-d to help us/guide the world.
Btw when he mentioned the Forefathers, he wasn't referring to the American fathers of the constitution... he means the Biblical Forefathers- Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

With no internet in the community how's your channel flourishing 🤣?
Hahaha, that's an awesome point 😆! Although, from what I gather it's only some of the more "intense" areas with no internet.
It’s mostly peaceful walking through the neighborhood every once in a while there’ll be a violent incident!

Haha, pretty sure it's just Portuguese. But I guess I can look deeper one of these days 🤣

@Rivka schmelzer, That is exactly why I am curious. He has a 'yiddeshe kop ' with all of these questions he comes up with.
