INSIDE THE HOME OF AN ORTHODOX JEWISH FAMILY - HANGING WITH HASIDICS II: WELCOME TO THE FAMILY
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ส.ค. 2022
- This year, I went back to New York and revisited Rabbi Yoni Katz. He welcomed me enthusiastically into his home to meet the family and show me what it takes to maintain and Jewish home.
I also met with Rivky, Yoni's wife who also welcomes people from outside the community on to tours around the neighbourhood. Rivky tells me about how Hasidic Jews meet their partners and the role of motherhood in the religion. She talked about the yearning of a woman holding the family together.
Brocha, Rivky's mother, takes us to her favourite room of the house, The Kosher Kitchen, and tells us what makes food 'Kosher'.
Watch the first video, HANGING WITH HASIDICS here: • Jewish life in New Yor...
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rabbi Yoni Katz takes us on a journey around his Crown Heights, an area in Brooklyn know for both the growing Hasidic community and their newer hipster locals. Rabbi Yoni has chosen a path to "Unite the Beards", taking anyone who is interested on a guided tour around this often seen as closed part of the neighbourhood.
Rabbi Yoni Katz wants to show the true life and character of this neighbourhood and to bring the communities living there closer. On the tour we were taken to the main synagogue 770 Eastern Parkway as well as to local homes and the main streets, interviewing as we went. The tours are run by himself and his wife and teach the customs and traditions to anyone who wishes to join them to learn about their neighbours.

I was in Brooklyn dealing with the tragedy of my brother’s suicide. I walked from my hotel to the ME’s office and was a mess. I somehow walked through Crown Heights and will never forget the kindness of this community. Strangers on the street could look at me and see the pain and they treated me beautifully. A man on the street asked me if he could help; I asked if there was a coffee shop nearby and he looked right in my eyes and said something about God granting me peace. Another lady in a bakery looked at me and motioned me to go ahead even though she was busy getting shopping done before sundown. She asked me if I was OK and I couldn’t even speak. Many other examples but this was in 2015 and I will never forget these strangers or the feeling I got walking through their neighborhood and trust me. It was so obvious I was not one of them yet…they saw, not a messed up, middle aged Irish southern Lutheran but a human lost and in pain. I want to one day go back and just walk through there again.
You speak volumes
The kindness of strangers is very memorable and truly precious. 💕💕💕
That's so beautiful how kind they were to you during such a time. I am sorry for you're loss.
@@livingbArbarinobhjjjk thank you for your kind words. He was such a sweet soul who suffered for years with depression and anxiety. 😢
Just last week my grandsons girlfriend split up with him ! He was walking the streets of Leicestershire until a Sikh noticed him . He asked my grandson what was the matter and sat outside with him for two hours, comforting him and giving advice!
Good people are good people whatever religion. I thank God He sent this man ❤
I am a muslim. You have a beautiful family, beautiful culture, really loved the bonding of your family brother. Loads of love dear brother. Its sheer love that binds the entire world together. Take care.❤
The coloniziers don't look middle eastern semittte
I’m amazed to see the affection between children and their father. They aren’t afraid of him. In fact, they want to be around him.
It means that this family is loving and genuine
Ого, русский комментарий
@@medvedik16 ага 🙂 а что удивительного?
Exactly how it's supposed to be, and they respect both sides and love them. They are the happiest 😊 people. I know no one is perfect but goodness I feel at home 🏡 with them just watching the video 📹
Umm.. it’s not normal to be afraid of your parents (unless you do something you shouldn’t and know that the beating is coming 😂)
Why would they be?
I cried when the wife explained the yearning women have for their husband and children. Speaks right to my heart, as a Christian. What a beautiful family.
They bragged.
@@perksofbeingaloser OK does your boyfriend also give birth to your offspring?
The coloniziers don't look middle eastern semittte
I’m not Jewish, but I absolutely adore the closeness of these families. It’s beautiful to see, the world needs more of this.
@Rachel Cookson, I completely agree!
They aren’t like this in real life. I lived near hundreds of Hassidic Jews. (Not this family)
@@Pureimagination200 Your very confused ‘
@@mickjagger1422 funny, you assume I don’t?! (This is a rhetorical reply) have a lovely day.
The difference between Chabad and me is the same as between Evangelical Christians and me. They are both sects and 'need to do', in order do be 'holy'. They repeat what their leaders tell them to do and they can't form their own opinion. I don't have to do anything at all. I just am. God doesn't want us 'to do'. He wants us 'to be'.
This is so beautiful.
When she said, "Marriage is not a union, but a reunion," I just started crying.
That was my favorite part
She is so calm, so beautiful......I had 9 children, and my family was very different......
❤
Interesting that I found your comment ar the exact point in the video, where she said that.
In the Jewish religion, that called Hashgacha Protis, (specific guidence by G-d.).
I am a Catholic. This lady's video comments should be viewed by every couple at required premarital counseling in the Catholic Church. She should be a featured speaker at marriage workshops. Every minute of her life as a wife and mother is a prayer and worship to God. God bless your immediate and extended family. You have a beautiful family. God has given you countless blessings. Indeed He is good.Let us thank Him always. All my love to you.
Idem. I´am one of those in need of her words of wisdom.
Amen .
i’m a muslim , i really appreciate how organised n thoughtful ur community is especially ur wife she’s soo positive n calm❤
“The holier work is taking care of the baby”. That is one of the most powerful statements I’ve heard. She completely flipped the patriarchy over lol.
Welcome to Jewish thought 101 :)
to speak about patriarchy is already to be on the rebel side
Actually, I think the statement supports true patriarchy.
If u r familiar with scripture u know that women are considered inferior, there is even a prayer every morning "thank god I am not a woman" I guess whatever she needs to tell herself to feel better
There is such a prayer but it is relation to the fact that men are obligated in more mitzvos. Women are exempt precisely because their role is viewed as crucial to the continuation of the Jewish nation. However since every mitzvah is precious the men stare their gratitude for the opportunity to do the extra mitzvos. They don’t say thank you for making me a man because that would imply that just by being a man they have a greater value
The wife in this video is so wise, I love her values and how she glows when she speaks of yearning. What a lovely family. May God bless this family always
I spotted exactly that, too.
she's literally so incompetent.
"adam was the first man, but he was male and female in one body."
as a Christian, this is completely shameful.
@@inactiveuser555 Pardon me, but you should be so "incompetent" [sic] in your own role in life as a Christian. Where's the shame? Perhaps English is not your mother tongue (Korean?), in which case you are excused. Perhaps, also, you are unaware that the bible's text is not meant to be "literal". An "eye for an eye" would render us all blind in no time at all. May I suggest that you look into your "heart and soul" and dip into Maimonides' great work, 'A Guide for the Perplexed. Take care and may G-d bless you.
She is being oppressed
@@inactiveuser555 it’s the truth. Just because you don’t understand the deeper meaning of what she’s saying their. Doesn’t mean that is fault.
I am a Christian, but I'm very interested in Jewish traditions. I love this video. Your wife is such an amazing woman and mother - you can just tell. I love how she explained taking care of the children is the holy work too.
Great video beautiful wife
Me too am Christian but i dont like religion symbols,dresses,distinct gadgets to identify and dpot in children
Christianity start from this religion if you haven’t read Torah already you need to..
Treating the wife like a slave ASK MY WIFE THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT FEMINISTS THESE HASIDIC WOMEN ITS DISGUSTING
Jews circumcise muslim law
As a Persian I received a big favor from Jewish community in Brooklyn and I won't forgot about.... they are super nice people, hard working and generous ❤️ God bless you all
I’m a Christian and I loved this family and their values. I randomly clicked on this video and it made me smile to listen to this families ideas about life and marriage and children. What a beautiful family. We have different backgrounds but I share their values so much :)
me too...I am a Christian....loved this video.. randomly clicked on it
I am a wanderer in the realm of faith. I have never found my home. Here I am now, old and used up, and I wonder if this faith would even have any use for me? I can't give much anymore, I don't have a lot of energy physically, but I am still hungry to find thst mythical home.
@@NinjaGrrrl7734 Read the Bible. They go by the Torah or the 1st five books of the Bible. I guess they call them the first five books of Moses since he's the one that wrote them. As you know, Christians go by the teaching of Jesus so you could read the book of John in the New Testament and it will tell you all about Jesus and the work he did on the cross and why.
Find a version you can understand such as the New King James version. Ask God to help you, he will!
@@wayneguy6043 People say the same of Christians. We just listen to a different voice than the rest of the world!
@@wayneguy6043 He knew what was gonna happen before he came but he knew it was necessary to become a human sacrifice for the sins of man because animal sacrifice wasn't working. He became our ultimate sacrifice.
What really strikes me is how Jews can come across as insular but give them respect and take an interest and they open up with endless love and explanations like in this video
So it was there underneath all the time,it's just about your perspective.
Not all mate.
@@shaunboden Also true.
@@Tali5899 dont get me wrong mate I have some wonderful Jewish friends but we have a large Jewish population in Leeds including a small yeshiva and they don't really mix other than good morning but im not saying its wrong just different as in all walks of life atb to you and yours mate.
@@shaunboden They don't mean to offend when they don't mix,its just really awkward as we have so many different social and cultural rules-its hard to explain-for example i know the Leeds crowd is more 'modern' than where I live but they will still keep the same rules we have re different genders socialising etc which is a big one,so it's easier just to keep more or less to themselves.Sorry if it comes across snobby.It's not intended.
Im a 74 year old Catholic lady. Thank you so much for your documentaries. I guess I’ve lived a very sheltered life but I am fascinated and impressed by the strength of your faith. God bless you all and thank you for informing us
I cut grass for a jewish family once. They were so kind. I was doing them a favor but cutting their grass, and they gave me a Torah as a gift. I still have it. I often read it when i want to go back to the Old Testament
When the woman said, "marriage is not a union, but a reunion. It's bringing back two parts that were one back together." ..... the tone of her voice and her smile, that just touched me.
I'm Catholic, but I so very much respect and admire the Jewish community for their love of family, traditions, and faith.
❤
@Ma Pooh I'm Catholic too!👐 Interesting to learn about different cultures with good family values ^_^
@@nicoleyoshihara4011 It really is!!!!
It’s wonderful when people of different religions can become close friends with each other. All religions should get along together.
@@Ma_Pooh Yes it's so beautiful!!!^_^
They need their own channel! I could listen to the wife speak on marriage and values all day
repent TODAY, forsake your sinful way of life, and believe in the Gospel.
salvation is found only in the LORD JESUS CHRIST alone, Who took upon the sin of the world on that cross, bearing the pain and punishment we deserve(d), that our sins may be atoned for, and He is risen [in glory] for our justification, that we may be made right with GOD, that we may know Him, be adopted by Him and reconciled to Him -- forgiven, set free from the curse of sin and death, and made as new creatures in CHRIST alone.
Rabbi Yoni Katz has a TH-cam channel.
@@inactiveuser555 that's a lie. Yahweh The Most High declares no one can die for the sins of another. Deuteronomy 24:16 Jeremiah 31:30 Ezekiel 18. Psalms 49:7. 2nd Chronicles 25:4. Isaiah 6: 6 and 7. Isaiah 30: 9. Deuteronomy 27: 26
I’m a new mom and hearing her speak about the role of a mother was so encouraging. Her words were comforting.
I am a Muslim and I really liked the way the wife explained what we felt when she met her husband. So much serenity and love. I liked the togetherness of this family and this what family is all about with he ups and downs.
We women are the ones who look for similarities with others and it's we women who can bring peace and understanding among others.
I was thinking how much her description of seeking a relationship reminds me of how we do it in Islam, and it made me smile.
@@Grace-E-21 🥰
Yes,she told it in an amazing way. I feel like if Muslim shaikhs told in such way,Muslim women won't leave din so much.
Maybe because she is a woman,she could express the real feelings.
Nice family I enjoyed with your family.but i am surprised you have a eight children how can you both managed.
I’m Jewish but not hassidic . Thank you for sharing your life with us . By your openness to share your life and beliefs, you are preventing ignorance and prejudice. It’s touching to see non Jewish participants comment are very loving acceptances of us .
Amen!
Acceptance of you Jews, you are human beings with feelings not sort of strange species. I am a Muslim and I have been taught to respect, accept and live with no matter race, and religion. We are all creatures of one God. Salem, Shalom, Peace.
@@malikadebbah3343 Please read own texts, don’t think they’re acceptable even during war supposedly, the name doesn’t sound authentic but a recent one.
@@malikadebbah3343 🥰🤗 and salaam.
I'm also Jewish (American-Israeli) and while on the surface thier life seems to be all roses, I can assure you that one day, when one of those 8 children tells their parents they are in love with a Black person, or a Christian or that they are gay or lesbian or that they want to go to college and study for a higher degree or that they don't want to do a shudduk and get married at 18 or whatever the case is, the entire family will likely turn thier backs on them and treat them like they are dead. And how do I know this? I've seen it in my own family. Not so nice ....
The description this lovely Jewish wife gave for marriage went straight to my soul. I am a Christian, but was just as blessed by God to give me my precious husband. I knew I would marry him INSTANTLY...I was just 13 yrs old, and he was an older man of 14 yrs old. We are coming up to our 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary on February 12 and I still "yearn for him" every second of every day! I knew he was my husband instantly and it is a second when time stands still and God's still small voice speaks to my soul and confirms my yearning. We were just 16 yrs old when we married. The funny thing is, he is an Italian from Brooklyn and his mother told him just after we met and I had to leave, on the same day " John that girl has it for you and you have it for her. There goes your wife" We have never looked back and cannot be without each other. May we die in each other's arms if it pleases God. It is so difficult to try and explain the soul yearning to others. She has done it better than anyone I ever heard. You have a lovely family and may God continue to Bless you.
Wonderful comment. I'm happy for you and your family. ❤
You've explained it beautifully too! 💖
So beautiful 💕❤
I also met my husband when we were both teenagers. There was an instant draw and connection very quickly thereafter that is still here between us.
The mother would be a nice role model for me. I’m not Jewish, but I am so hopeful and happy hearing her speak of yearning and the seriousness of choosing a mate. What a beautiful family. It feels good to see them all together and loving each other. “ the woman should be her natural self”” I can’t think of a better way to be loved- just as yourself.
Also your wife is wonderfully eloquent. She’s able to speak of these big life events as if they’re the simplest things. A natural orator…What a woman.
I noticed that, too. She certainly has a way with words. And to think that English is not her mother tongue! She would have been brought up in childhood speaking Yiddish. She speaks English better and more beautifully than many native speakers of the language.
@@ajarnwordsmith628 why do you think English isnt her first language? The Lubavitch sect of Hasidic (what this family is) generally grow up speaking English as opposed to other sects like Satmar.
@@Rochsify Greetings. Rachel, that's a fair question deserving an answer. The wonderful people at Chabad "found" me some years ago and encouraged me to return to and participate in my local Jewish community, which just so happened to be Chabad at that point in my life. This was in a capital city located in South East Asia. My many conversations with Chabadniks left me with the distinct impression that Yiddish was the lingua franca of day-to-day communication within the community, with English or whatever " local" language learned as an add-on means of communication. Take care.
“What brought us all here was my Mother’s yearning”. I felt that one so hard. 😮
They are so so so so so beautiful ❤️ I am a Muslim and I love you guys a lot and most of us do
Thank you so much for saying this! We love you too! We are cousins, Jews & Muslims, the children of brothers. We are family!
@@sarahbrachathanks ...we love you too
@@sarahbracha
if you are female muslim and only if you are female
we invite you to join our community.
No male muslim invites
Hope its not a taqqiya mudarat.
I'm blown away with the thought of yearning to have children and a family. That's so beautiful! The world would be a better place if everyone entered into parenthood with that thought. I knew I was meant to have my daughters but didn't have the words to explain until I saw this. Thank you for sharing your family and traditions with us!!
sad is that many would love to yearn to take care of their children but they let peer pressure let them think that they are not a woman unless they work outside the home
Ask for a Cease Fire. Palestnians are human too. They have lost 7000 of their children.
I grew up in Bed-Stuy and my father would take us to the Jewish markets to get herring, smoked white fish, strudel. They always treated him like family. I LOVE the Jewish people 💙! God bless you for representing your culture so beautifully,!God bless you and your amazing family!!! SHALOM unto you all!!!🙏🏾❣️
Jewish cuisine is tasty and healthy!
@@marcazim4326 Strudel and many other foods known in the US to be jewish aren't jewish but were adopted from the Country they originate from.
Many German Jews living in Germany are still surprised whenever they first visited the US, especially NYC and Jewish Food Stores there and saw so many Traditional German Foods and later talking to American Ashkenazi Jews realising many of them had no idea a lot of the Foods they think are Jewish are actually German, Polish, Hungarian originally etc.
@@chartreux1532 once they're prepared in a kosher manner, they become Jewish.
@@chartreux1532 guess what you probably think is a southern American delicacy but is actually an ashkenazi food? Smoked brisket!
I’m an outsider - so my opinion prob doesn’t mean too much. What shines through here is how much love these parents have for their kiddos. It’s very sweet. These are good people, in my opinion.
your opinion does matter to us, thank you
Don't underestimate your opinions. Ever. Your thoughts matter, too. We may not be Jewish, but we can respect and love what we see in their values and beliefs. :)
They are good people. You will never hear about an Orthodox person committing a crime. Their families are very close. They work and they obey the laws of God.
I am Jewish, but not Hasidic. And your opinion does matter, and we thank you.
@@bennettbembry74 I’m happy that you liked my message. All people have God to love and obey his laws.
I lived in Crown Heights between 1986-1987 on Montgomery Street between Brooklyn and New York Avenues
It was the best experience of living in a Torah community that I’ve ever known - everything in this video is true, everybody was very welcoming and non-judgmental even though I wasn’t observant and I even drove my car on Shabbos
The Lubavitch-Chabad movement is wonderful to experience, even if you’re an outsider
I’m not Jewish, but I love Chabad Lubovitch, I have many friends in the community, and they have helped me really appreciate and deepen my own relationship with G-d. I love their philosophy.
Interesting, thank you.
I myself am a Roman Catholic and I say this with 100% honesty. I'd be trilled to have your family as my neighbors. Good luck & God bless.
This blesses me on so many levels! I'm a Christian, and I've never heard an explanation of marriage and family like this Hasidic wife gave. It was the most beautiful explanation I've ever heard given......"yearning" (my new word).🥰 Please keep sharing more content.
i feel completely lost as a new mom and it felt so good to hear the words of this lady..im not a Jew but you gave me strength, thank you
Lots of luck!
motherhood is a learning process and you've got this.
I wasn’t raised orthodox.. we didn’t keep
Kosher but we were raised that family was everything… this is such a good doc for gentiles… it shows everyone that a Jewish home is love and more love. Mazel tov… 🙌🏼💜🇨🇦
I absolutely love and understand this video RE: children and family. I'm a 65 year old Christian and I raised 14 children who are now all adults with children of their own. Every day was like a birthday party! God bless your wonderful family. 💗
Not all women have the same yearning. But I do appreciate the obvious love and happiness in this family.
I was just about to comment on this. My yearning does not include having children and cooking. I yearn for a different life but I can respect others.
Yeah, the "yearning" thing was a little over the top for me. I see it as limiting one's options, esp. for women. I think what I appreciate most is the caring attitude toward everyone and the sense of community.
Motherhood is not valued in the secular world in this way any longer, so it's clear that in a culture where it is valued and an honor, there is much more if a yearning for it
I like the respect you had while critiquing that viewpoint.
I think a lot of this comes down to how you were raised. She is happy with the choices she made in her life and clearly reflected a lot on what she wanted, so that’s good.
@@MalloryNewcomb many Orthodox Jewish women combine careers with motherhood. There's nothing stopping us from becoming attorneys, physicians, scientists, or whatever we feel called to do.
The way the lady explained marriage is really beautiful. It's mystical but practical.
This is my first glimpse into the Lubavitcher sect. This particular community emanates such joy! Open and welcoming to all - yet still pious.
As a Christian, this makes my heart smile.
And a wife who was allowed to achieve success, then CHOSE a traditional life…with a husband who actively engages with his children.
I feel like my incorrect perception of what it means to be Haredi - very stern, outsiders not welcome, participation in the “outside”world will lead you off the path - was based on what I’ve seen/read about the ways of another sect.
I’d actually get on the horrendous BQE to take a tour to learn more, now that I know I will be welcomed, and our different faiths mutually respected
Blessings to this beautiful family!
I’m not Jewish but this woman is holy, she screams happiness and contentment so many things I’ll never have but I don’t begrudge them. Thank you! ❤
Her whole face lights up when she smiles seeing her kids!
My cousin converted to Orthodox Judaism after marrying. She is fortunate to have two kitchens, a larger and a smaller one to help her keep kosher. Sadly, her husband passed a few years ago but she is committed to her Jewish faith and continues to show her grandchildren the way. Loved seeing this video - reminds me of my cousin and her family whom I dearly love.
I hate orthodox harzil
Myself Raju from Southern India 🇮🇳 i love Jewish people because i work in israel as a care giver may 2013 to December 2022. And im happy to watching your channel thank you so much i respect you 🙏
I love her thinking about motherhood being the holy work. Even though I'm a southern Baptist I feel exactly how she feels about motherhood being a blessing and how important raising the next generation is.
If this woman has written any books I want to read them. She puts everything so beautifully. I've been pondering these concepts my whole life, and I saw everything in a new light when she spoke about them.
The mothers yearning! I love this so much as I take care and homeschool my three boys! Holy work indeed!
Smart one u are... definitely don't send them to public school
Rivky's explanation of the woman's world in Hassidim was beautiful. As an atheist who's "culturally Jewish" I loved listening to her because, putting the Bible aside, this still makes so much sense to me. Beautiful family ❤❤
What a wonderful way to look at man and woman and marriage.
Thank you
What a beautiful family! And not one cell phone in sight. The children were all interacting with each other and their parents. And they looked happy and engaged. 💖💖💖💖
You weren't looking properly then
didn't you type this on a phone?🙄🤣
Look at 2.53 ...cell phone! My worry is the huge family! Can the planet sustain this? They're lovely but is it responsible?
@@dianefleming9765 Worry, worry, worry
When people worry so much their lifetime will fly by and what will they have to give thanks for? Old age and wrinkles. Live! You only have one life but this world will still be surviving long after we are gone.
Y concern is not for myself but for future generations who might suffer because of our lack of concern for them while we indulge ourselves without a worry for what their lives might be like. I'm lucky, I don't have a single wrinkle despite being concerned for future generations! 😅 lucky me.
As a Christian, I love the focus on family, community and God. I am also soon to be a mother of 8, so I understand that yearning very well. This was lovely.
Mrs.Vernon here. I just came across your youtube. This was a great blessing. I don't belong to any religious organization but I do study Tanakh faithfully and try my best to keep, guard and fulfill it. This video is a tremendous blessing to me. Your wife spoke exactly how I feel in my heart. I, too, am the mother to eight children. Four sons and four daughters. I pray daily for them and my husband. Although my husband does not practice my faith he has no problem with me following Tanakh. I keep the feasts and eat kosher. I have no fellowship but Yahweh The Most High sustains me. When I met my husband (I was not Torah keeper) I knew in my heart he was the one. He asked me to marry him one month after we met and were married six months later. Thank you very much for this video it has blessed me greatly. I feel as if I came to your home you would accept me as a sister. I have subscribed and look forward to more. Thank you very much.
I don’t know if this family will ever see this message, but I cannot thank them enough for sharing their faith and their family with us. I see myself as a modern independent woman with traditional values. I wouldn’t imagine that I would resonate with the views of a Hasidic wife. She has opened my heart and my eyes to her life and a beautiful view of marriage and family. Thank you for sharing that beauty with all of us.
I too, am not Jewish, but I have always been interested in the religion and culture. Much love to you all. ❤️✡️
Same here, I’m not a very religious person, but if I had to choose I would be a Jew. Out of all the religions they don’t push their religion on you and they don’t judge or damn you to hell.
@@MegaCooper68 thank you! that is also because judaism is a closed practice so we do not seek out or convert people unless they come to us. im jewish and hell doesnt exist to us i also believe nothing on a finite world could damn you to an infinite hell
Read up about the Jewish religion. It’s very interesting.
I am Italian and definitely NOT Jewish but I admire your family closeness, we're also very close with similar familial values so I can appreciate that. I've also given birth to 8 children and know all too well just how stressful it can be on a Mother but you do it with so much patience, love and grace, and it really shows in your children... they all seem sweet, humble and well-rounded. Good luck to all of you, I wish you the very best in life. ❤️
A mother is the hardest job in the world, I know it's probably a bit weird to say this but I just wanted to say congratulations on all of your 8 children! Sounds like you're an amazing Mum and I wish you and your family all the best! x
@@ashleighhennessy Thank you, I truly appreciate that. 🙏
@@ashleighhennessy I wanted 10 children. 8 is a baseball team? Lol I had only 2 and have 3 beautiful grandkids. Gosh, she has the patience of a saint. Great job mom and dad!!❤👍
again, I would like you to tell me why you wanted to have 8 children? Dont you think that's excessive? How can you give 8 different people the attention they probably need..it's not possible..or is it?
Kasey you are beyond blessed. I am on my 5th pregnancy and I thank God for this journey everyday.
Love the concept of love so beautifully explained by the wife. As a Muslim I can relate to it. In Quran, Allah says, "Wa khalaqnakum azwaja - and we created you in pairs" and the term of Libaas-garment is used for ones spouse which means a husband and a wife are like a garment for easch other-providing each other comfort, protection, beauty and covering ♥️💌
If the man loves the wife so much, why the man is allowed by the religion to hv 4 wives n the wives consent to sharing the husband? I could never share my husband n the father of my children w other women so he has children w the other women. I wd rather be single all my life than to steal someone else's husband. If I was married, I wdnt want some woman to steal my husband. I believe in one man one woman as spouses for life. Open both eyes before marriage. Work at the marriage after marrying. Good spouses who are good parents are good for their children.
I'm not Jewish but come across your video. All I felt was such a beautiful vibe from your family. So close and loved. Truly special.
Respect for the religion and respect for the RIGHT to worship it.
Well said!
I am not Jewish but,watching videos like this giving small insights into the Jewish religion and way of life are really insightful. Thank you for sharing. Seems like a lovely way raise your children and have a healthy happy marriage.
Until you read the Talmud and find out how they actually feel about you. You must have heard the term, "You get more flies with Honey than with Vinegar.". That is what you are seeing. You are a filthy animal to them and their books specifically say this.
I was raised Orthodox, but not Chassidic.
It is a wonderful way to grow up.
Judaism is not only religion, but is our culture, as well.
Hashem Family are what matters most, who I love most, and who loves me.
This was so invigorating. I just recently retired and have been working on my ancestry. I was not taught to be part of the Jewish community by a mother who was bullied for being Jewish in Public Schools and so she grew up self-deprecating. I look at this amazing family and at once realize all that was missing in my childhood and life, but at the same time not believing people can be so happy just to be alive. I've never felt that way.
What a wonderful family, this is exactly what draws me to Chabad Judaism from being raised a Christian.
The sense of tradition and values is simply beyond measure here, and at the same time it's so natural.
May Hashem Bless this family always
I am not even religious, but I find these families so interesting. You can see just how much love and happiness there is in this family.
Right.Im so intrigued by this family and their culture overall.
I am an observant Roman Catholic and I salute you and your beautiful family. If only those in my faith understood the treasure of a large family the way that you do, May G-d continue to bless you and your children. Stay strong and be well.
They are replenshing those souls lost in ww2. God bless them. I am catholic but my son is half polish and his great grandmother was a catholic in Auschwitz. She is in her 90s and still has the faded tatoo of her number on her arm. The stories she shared stopped my heart .
Im a left hander same as you and from an enormous family 54 cousins in Leeds just on my mas side, we all adore each other, see each other all the time, family is everything to us buddy, c ya soon.
@@raquellambropoulos279 may I ask why she was in Auschwitz?
@@bogantellectual for being Polish maybe?
Why did you censored God's name?
As a Catholic I find this video extremely interesting and informative. It’s not something that you see outside of something like TH-cam. Great heartwarming content
Im muslim and i kind of relate to the Jewish orthodox because we have so much similarities and also because they take religion seriously like we do
Don't take it too seriously because then bad things starts to happening.
Not at all. In judaism when man have. No respect to his wife he get disgrace relation from the community.
In your region male like this ,(beat her, marriIng second wife even killing her) get respect from the males in his community.
We dont share same values,
The .muslimes are anymales,
they have no values at all
Hasidics are far more civilised than Muslim society. Hasidic don't try to impose their way of life on others.
Also there's no Al Qaeda & ISIS type organization from Hasidics. So Salafis & hasidics can't be compared.
I am Catholic and loved this video. Bless you all
What a beautiful family!! The wife just radiates happiness! I hope you'll do more videos on them:)
Rivky is the sweetest soft spoken woman. Her words are so encouraging. Every Mom should hear her talk about children🙏🏻❤️👍 . What wonderful ❤parents for their 8 children.
The way the wife explains the matchmaking/search for a partner process makes so much sense. You follow your heart but you also make sure this person is someone who will fit into your life. You go into the match with open eyes, an open mind, and an open heart. ❤
I'm so impressed with this family but particularly the Mother, such amazing insights she gave, thank you for this video 🌟🌟🌟
all they care about is money and taking over the western world, dont forget 9/11 was done by israel zionists
I’m also not Jewish but this was so beautiful. I love when she talked about the yearning. And the partnership between husband and wife. Such a beautiful way to live and view life
I'm catholic. i remember when we have a sweet elderly Rabi came to my church school. I was 8 years old. because our teacher want to teach us, there other Regions out there then Christian/Catholic. I learn all about the kosher, because I ask him. why they can't eat Pig and shell fish? when she talk about Kosher ways. it remind of the Rabi telling us the same thing. he made it fun for us to learn about the Jewish community . he told us its was ok to laugh about the whole 2 stoves. 2 stinks and other Kosher stuff. he jokes about it. he knew, this whole thing was very new to us. you got sweet family there
I am very proud to be a Jew.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful family.
I think that was the best pitch for marriage and motherhood I've heard. Blessings to their family!
Your Wife did a Wonderful job of explaining the dating process and a Hasadic marriage. I understand it much better now. And your Mother in law did a Great job on the kitchen. Thank you
Shalom Yoni Katz and Rivky. Shalom from Brazil. I've loved your beautiful, happy and big family. I love all of you a lot. Someday when I arrive in NY I hope to meet you and your precious family. My name is José, and my father was José too. And now you have a treasure.
I am from Kazakhstan and I like Hasidic jews
Have known many Russian Hasidic Jews ❤
😅 we also have 8 kids. It takes a bizarre blend of rigid routine and laxity to make it work, but it's a wild ride! Of all the stuff my husband and I have done in our lives, and we've done a lot, our biggest adventure and greatest honor is raising all these crazy kids the best we can and hoping they go out into the world and make their little corner of it a better place.
Non Jewish person but this video is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing the beauty of creation and woman and marriage. ❤
Im a mailman in Montréal Canada outremont. 80% of my clients are assidique orthodox and they are always kind with me . Aint got no problem at all with them... i love when the boss House( the wife) give me fresh bread of fresh croissant
The wife's smile said everything! Beautiful, family!
I am a Christian. I live in Upstate New York near a Hasidic community. I’ve found some to be friendly and some not, but I’ve found that many times it’s how I approach. What my attitude towards them is that effects how they treat me. Sometimes they seem fearful, so I don’t push it.
Also, I just wanted to say that there is so much love shown here it’s beautiful and I can be feel it throughout this video. I love your wife’s explanation of her yearning. It’s brilliant and beautiful and very accurate on how a good marriage and family stays close and strong. I don’t agree with every teaching here, but the main points I do agree with, that the wife and mother is the source of love and the father is the source of security. I wish you and your family much love and happiness.
Interesting... My mother did some of this type meal prep. She soaked meat in salt water to get rid of blood. She still skimmed off the scum as the beef boiled. She also did the egg thing, got the blood out.
Turns out, in early days of her marriage, while my dad was away in WW2, she had a Hasidic neighbor. This sweet neighbor taught her all this. 😀
Beautiful family and values! The Kosher Kitchen is fascinating. I love that they have matchmakers...everyone could use help finding the right person.
I had never heard Adam described as both male and female and that God took the female out of Adam. I don’t know if I recounted that correctly but I found it very interesting. Thank you for sharing your story with us! Really enjoyed your video!
What a lovely couple. I love that the women are so cherished.
See the documentary of this sect. U will really see what goes on. Tragedy, pain .
What a beautiful family! Judaism isn't my faith but I love to celebrate and learn about different people's beliefs and how it connects them to G-d. I must have a small ancient spark deep inside of me that draws me, (the curious, reverent, outside observer) back, and back again and again to learn more about G-D's Chosen People. No matter what my faith, the Rabbi, his family and community make a positive and uplifting impact on my spirituality;
Thank you for creating this video and inviting me, the viewer, to share in your faith, wisdom, practice, traditions, laws and most of all, joy!
❤
I love what she said in the beginning about the way they date, it is with the purpose of a lifetime partner ❤
I found this to be warm and wonderful. Loved the kitchen tour by the loving grandmother!
That’s so amazing how she talks about satisfying her yearning and marriage.
I’m yearning for my soulmate.
The whole family looks so happy.
BARUCH HASHEM. Shana tova may the family have a sweet year. 🕎❤
I don’t follow a faith but I do believe in a higher power. I always enjoy watching videos of Judaism. Thank you for inviting us into your home and meeting your family. Blessings to you all
How lovely to see such a wonderful family together , To Yearn was such a beautiful way of explaining it. I admire the Jewish community they have such great family values and stay together as a family. Thankyou for sharing a lovely video
“Marriage is not a union, but a reunion.” I love that! ☺️
Love his wife and her explanations!!
I love this couple, they look so happy together and the relationship with their children is so beautiful. They speak so lovingly of their religion and their relationship. Wish them all the happiness in the world
This woman is a Jew but very kind, nice person. I am a Muslim from Saudi Arabia and wish GOOD prayers for this family.
Why "but"?
she is not against Muslims @@dcrafton3988
Lol "but"
Please remember that we're cousins. 🥰
Ricky’s remarks on womanhood and motherhood are so empowering! Thank you for sharing!
What a beautiful family and what a great understanding about the Bible! I’m a catholic Brazilian and never saw before some saying “we meet people”, surely that is better than dating people. They are right, life is about connecting people! That expression deeply touched my heart ! ❤ Shalom! May God bless you all! 🙏🏼
Wow, they seem like such a warm loving family. Thank you for this film. I am fascinated by people whose lives are so different from mine.
Oh my goodness what an absolutely beautiful family focused on love, God and tradition.
