My Jewish father owned a thrift-shop in Kensington Market around 2002 called "YO"! He passed away over ten years ago but this video brings back many fond memories. Love it.
Boy, did this youtube bring back memories! The Menik Chicken store, second floor, in the Kensington market was where my folks first lived when I was born some 86 years ago. My mother used to travel down to the market to shop for chicken and meat by street car from up on St Clair Ave. once a week after we had moved. I remenber that Rabbi Wolgelertner was the shochet next door to Melnik's where Ma would go to have her live chickens' throats slit. She would also buy "crek eggs' there because the were cheaper. I also remember my cousin ( twice removed) Natty Briks' Z'L bar mitvah at the Minsker Shul and my great aunt Leah who lived on Nassau ( Nesse ) Street not far from Halpern's drug store at the corner on
Spadina.
So glad you found our little stroll down memory lane - watch for Part 2 coming out tomorrow!
Rabbi Spero is the man! The Minsker Shul could use some love.
THANK YOU FOR CARING ABOUT TORONTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brings back fond childhood memories.
I lived in Toronto briefly in 2010. I stayed at my friends' place in Kensington for 2 weeks until I found my own place. It was a really cool hood
Awesome videos.
three generations of my family love the market. ..it is a gritty and amazing place!
We agree! (obviously)
Awesome! Loved it! As a part-time, some-time, maybe-one-day occasional visitor to Tarana, I loved it and learned a lot. Reminded me a lot of my ancestral stomping grounds, Lombard Street in Bawmer. One day I'll stop in and davven with Rabbi Spero, im yirtseh ha-Shem.
I absolutely love the video. I have to come and visit Canada especially Kensington. So much history, I am always fascinated by the Jewish religion.
You guys are awesome, funny hilarious and very smart, I love you guys I told so many of my friends to watch your shows.
you guys are great! Love your videos!
!גרויס דאַנק
wonderful
Great Show!
Love the Hebrew :-)
Fun - names and places have been changed ...from Doornfontein, Berea, Yeoville Johannesburg. Fabulous.7:00 the keter needs polishing in his shul
You from Joburg?
You from Joburg? I grew up in Berea and now I live in Glenhazel.
Wow, I have lived just a short bike ride from this neighbourhood for more than a decade and I didn't know half of this!
Not to diss this travel series as it's good in its own way.... but are you guys not doing skits anymore?
We certainly hope that we will - lots of different things we're experimenting with - thanks for sticking with us and staying tuned
Very interesting.
C'mon where's the יידיש? I can live with English subtitles.
That's hilarious! Gebildet actually means "educated" in Yiddish. So they immortalized the wrong word on the Synagogue, or a Yinglish word....
Ironic!
Yidlife crisis could come to Budapest :)
Get someone to invite us! info@yidlifecrisis.com
So, how is that Jamie is such an expert on Eli's mohel? Was he sandek at the brit?
