INSIDE THE HOME OF AN ORTHODOX JEWISH FAMILY - HANGING WITH HASIDICS II: WELCOME TO THE FAMILY

[@fivebluelakes8948]

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.

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.

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'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.

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

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.

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.

[@koukla3948]

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!
