Inside the World’s Strictest Jewish Community

I went to Auschwitz and Dachau with my parents when I was 6 or 7. It affected me my entire life. I understand what happened, the horrors they endured… The piles of clothes, shoes, eyeglass put in perspective how many people were stripped of everything they owned and imprisoned, forced to work until they dropped, then put in giant ovens dozens at a time. I know this sounds crazy but I learned the Nazi’s made soap from the fat of the Jews they murdered and I refused to use soap for two years until my parents finally convinced me they no longer made soap out of people. It left an indelible impression on my heart that I’ve carried throughout the last 46 years and I can’t imagine that the Jewish community doesn’t feel the terror of that this day.

Are your parents Jewish. Why would they expose a child to that. Sickening. You've been indoctrinated

[@HomesteadAtLast]

Yes there was horrible acts of humanity done back then but you cannot ignore the other side of it. These people don’t consider you or I on the same level in life as they are. They believe they are holier than other. They wouldn’t want to be buried next to me even in death because I have tattoos. These are some of the nastiest most discriminatory people in this video.

This is unfair to their children not letting them go to college. Also not giving the women a full education. It makes them rely on this community even if they decide to leave, or even worse shunned from it! And don't get me started on how they treat lgbtq people. I'm Jewish btw.

[@mikaelb7735]

VERY good comment!!!

[@smalltownhomesteadAC]

Unfair? Why is college or a full education so important to people? They have a wonderful life, strong community and large families. They are happy and satisfied. And LGTBQ is sexualizing children and encouraging them to mutilate themselves. It’s pretty obvious why they were not accepted historically, I feel no pity for gays anymore. Give me the Jews over gays anytime.

[@abook_addict]

They aren't ultra strict, they have cell phones and are allowing to be filmed. I watched another documentary where a woman's daughter married into a strict community and she and her family would not allow them to bring cameras into her house, they did not have t.v.s, cell phones, computers or radios. The camera crew had to talk to the mother after she left her daughter's house after the visit.

[@kjelsadek]

Depends on the community. I’m in the U.S. and there’s a huge Orthodox and Ultra-Orthodox community with many different sects in Lakewood. They have kosher phones-think older style flip phones without internet and some use smart phones with limited apps or filters.

[@miss0petersburg]

Non of the families you saw in the background have tvs or phones. They have leaders in the community who have em and that’s who you saw. It’s the first time a few of them allowed to be filmed, those who are trusted in the community. I’m sure you’d love for them to not know what evil awaits outside. You don’t sound like you’re curious or even that you actually paid attention to what you watched. You didn’t see people in the back covering their faces not wanting to be on camera? Trust me, they have more discipline than any of those who judge them. You probably think they follow the tradition just so they can make a KZbin video, nuts. No surprise that you would. Most of what they do, and most of ways Jews contribute, isn’t done on video. Just like the healthcare they provide to everybody, not only Jews. The same thing in NY and other big states. Or the fact that most Muslim immigrants use Jewish refugee programs to move to the west. That’s what should matter. No other religious group provides healthcare to everyone, specially to those who hate them. The entire Jewish religion is built on being humble. And by the way, not just for women. This is why when you see a religious family, the men cover up just as much. I know it’s hard to understand that there are people who actually don’t want or care about attention and clicks. They just allowed to be filmed to educate people who are genuinely interested. And there are plenty.

[@MegaJazzyjess]

Im so glad that they continue their faith and tradition. Others may not understand but i think its great. Keep being up no matter who,what, others think.

[@joem715]

It really touched me when the elderly man said that when he was growing up, none of the children knew what grandparents were because they had all died in the Holocaust. That really brought it home that this entire community is made up of people whose parents were children during the war and survivors in one way or another.

[@kimaltman8164]

These very strict Orthodox communities began after WWII as a way to ‘protect’ themselves. Each and every member of these tribes have relatives lost during the Holocaust which is why they have created an insular world of their own.

[@philippal8666]

In London I see this group often. They got sick in COVID and took up a whole ICU ward. There’s also huge numbers in the genetic diseases clinics because they intermarry. Sometimes a family of 6 kids has 5 affected by serious potentially fatal disorders. If they keep going it won’t end well.

[@mariekatherine5238]

Certain groups of Muslims, Pakistanis particularly, Mormons, Amish and Mennonites have the same problem. It’s not necessarily incest, but if second cousins marry second cousins, generation after generation, from a small gene pool, couples can inadvertently end up genetically as close as immediate family. In the US, there was very little Covid among Amish, maybe because they’re rural. There has long been a problem with recessive genetic diseases and syndromes. Some communities have taken action to prevent it, others have a more fatalistic attitude, we take whatever God sends.
