The word is of turk origin but came to the lexicon through persian/ arabic languages. Means exactly what it looks like - a type of mens garb item. Was in use in all turk countries and western years till last century when was gradually replaced by mire modern european type if mens clothes. But still serving as very traditional cloth in turkey, hungary, some ukrainian and some russian, and some polish regions

He had a horrible ego. And bragged about how expensive all his clothing was. God will not let a braggard into heaven.
@CaptainBill22Ай бұрын
@@BabyJesus66 Is he bragging? Maybe, maybe not. However, he knows that he's primarily speaking to non-Jewish and non-Hasidic people who are very curious. People will inevitably ask "how much does something like that cost?" What is also apparent, is that a lot of these garments are passed down the generations. Are they expensive? Yes, but they're also made to last. A lot of vestments used in the Catholic and Orthodox churches are also very ornate and very expensive. Priests don't really own those vestments for the most part. Instead they get passed down. Pride is a sin, but just because you commit a sin, doesn't mean that you don't get to heaven. That is p to God to decide.

Most of us "outsiders" do not know not much more than the "Fiddler on the Roof" or "Yentl" cliches, and many of the younger generation haven't even seen those movies. I'm just a German girl who happened to marry into a Jewish family, so I know a few things. We even had a Rabbi in my husband's family: my mother-in-law's cousin was Dr. Marvin Fox, a noted Jewish scholar, philosopher, rabbi, chaplain (WWII), and an esteemed faculty member of Brandeis University. He was orthodox, so learned a lot of traditions and customs from his family. And I myself LOVE to watch KZbin videos of Satmar, Bobov, Belz, Skver, Ger, etc. weddings and other festivities. I know all the various mitzvah tantz melodies by heart! Very uplifting, and jolly good fun!😀 I hope we see more of you in Frida's KZbin channel. In the meantime, I will check out your own channel, and subscribe, of course! And yes, I mostly understand Yiddish (being German it is not too hard), so I'll be checking out your Yiddish videos.

It’s not just about the presentation; it’s about making the experience memorable and meaningful. I’d be honored to show you how I make kugel, along with some interesting stories and a bit of humor on the side.

You have done so very many great videos. But this is in a class of his own. What a gifted wonderful teacher. Please, I'm not being disrespectful, I'm not Jewish, I'm not American therfore mu culture is totally different. But this man is truly truly gifted. This is a video I have yo come back to. One suggestion, sorry, but a rail so we can see all the different blacks next to each other. This has to be the best ever Jewish video I've seen. Wonderful. Thank you. 🏴 Diolch yn fawr iawn. 🏴

Wow! I studied Judaism in college and for 10 years afterwards, and although I ended up not converting, I cherish what I learned about this wonderful culture. Yet my exposure was mostly Sephardic, so this opens up a whole new experience and makes me miss the weekends in Temple

Frieda, I don't know where to start! I absolutely loved this video. Your guest did such a wonderful job of explaining it all, with a smile and light humour even with the heat. Thank you so much to you both. I'll watch it again. 🖤

This is very interesting to a non Jewish person who has a large Orthodox Jewish population in my city ( Melbourne , Australia ) The differences in clothing always mystified me and this was very informative.

I thank the Rabbi for showing all the beautiful clothing that he wears. Very expensive material. I was not aware that there was such diversity in rabbi’s clothing. You can tell he takes meticulous and wonderful care of his clothing. I am not Jewish but respect and like to learn more about Hasidic clothing and traditions. I do like that even the clothing has so much meaning. I think originally coming from a colder climate in Eastern Europe many layers were easier to wear. Thank you so much I enjoyed this episode.

This is the case when knowledge of language and traditions helps the “‘journalist”to connect different circles of Jews. It’s very interesting, informative, kind, and professionally made video! Well done!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you Rebbe for graciously sharing a sliver of your life with us! What an entertaining as well as educating presentation! Such a blessed man has a responsibility to share his knowledge and we can tell that you very eagerly, sincerely enjoy teaching. I must admit, you truly have the gift of gab on top of being absolutely dapper, signs of a distinguished man who prides himself in being the best version of himself, for everyone to appreciate his presence. That outrageously forward leather coat is to die for!

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful appreciation. It is truly a blessing to be able to share my knowledge and experiences, and I am grateful for the opportunity to teach and connect with others. Your encouraging feedback means the world to me, and I am humbled by your compliments. I will continue to strive to be the best version of myself, and it is an honor to know that it resonates with others. Thank you again for your support and warmth!

I've been to Stamford Hill a few times (Hasidic part of London) and it has a mix of Hasidic groups. All the long coats and hats looked the same to me at a glance! I suspect only those inside the Hasidic culture will truly appreciate all these subtle differences.

Thank you so much Rabbi Mendel for being so friendly sharing your time with us. Most informative. Since you mentioned that you enjoy cooking it would be so lovely to maybe prepare a typical Tscholent??? Thank you Frieda Vizel for educating us so well. God bless you all.

Very interesting. I always admired how nice the clothing they wore was but of course didn't realize the significance. I do think it's mad that they don't switch to lighter fabrics like silk for warm weather, but to each his own. Thanks for the video!

I love your videos so much. I have seen Rabbi Mendel Hersh Paneth on other channels teaching about his culture. He is a great interviewee. I loved all the garments and learning more about how people live and express their culture and beliefs. You are always so kind and respectful. You are the perfect person to be a bridge between cultures. I am going to come to your tour next year. I live in DC, so I can make a day trip of it.
