I worked in Monsey ,NY for many years ,for Jewish clients. During that time a Rabbi told me alot of religious customs were actually put in place to keep people healthier, and avoid disease. The washing of hands, not eating certain meats known to cause illness, even circumcision.

[@hanric2000]

Yes, washing hands is common sense but tell me what we purposely eat to cause illness (apart from tobacco and alcohol which aren’t food anyway)

[@robertcuminale1212]

What diseases does circumcision prevent. That old saw about uterine cancer has been disproven. It is as common in Israel as everywhere else. @@hanric2000

[@testwordz]

a lot of rules in religion that restricts what you can eat etc are more likely traced to a way to separate people than anything else. as in if you make it hard for jewish people to spend time with non-jewish people due to various rules in their day to day life that makes it harder to hang out with an outsider means that their leaders have an easier time to control them, even more so if you want to start wars against others. this isnt specifically jewish btw, all religions and most cultures have aspects of this. however religions ofc prefer to rewrite it as "it was about [positive reasons]" but in reality the more likely explanation was that it was for negative reasons.

[@chatisawasteoftime]

The Rabbi was merely conjecturing. We don't know why G-d put these laws into place.

[@beadingbusily]

When the rules were made, there was no fridge or grocery store, so there's a factor to consider.​@hanric2000

Hi John, after having watched umpteen documentaries both on t.v. and KZbin about Orthodox Judaism as a Christian I have the height of respect for all Jewish people! With the extraordinary amount of rules and traditions that they follow and knowing how to remain Kosher I honestly don’t think that I would be able to be an Orthodox Jew as I know that I would forget most of the Mikvas, traditions and Kosher laws! It is absolutely remarkable how these wonderful people integrate them into their daily lives! As I said genuine respect to my Jewish brothers and sisters in God!🙏🏻🤗🕊! Px

I’m a Christian, raised by Christian parents. My dad often slaughtered our meat. And he abided by similar rules. Especially about the blade being properly sharp to make it very quick, and the meat had to be bled properly.

[@keller_]

Thats hands down the least cruel approach to butchering (without using modern techniques like electric shock) if you think about it, back when this law was written this had to be as progressive as one could be

[@dodosmamma1692]

@@keller_ Electrocuting the animal causes blood to congeal, making it less hygienic because it can easily harbour bacteria. Halal and kosher slaughter of animals also affects the quality of the meat, making it more tender. It’s now recognised amongst many Muslims that stunning an animal before slaughter is kinder for it. I haven’t eaten meat since I was a child. I saw sheep being slaughtered during Eid al Adha and I was horrendously traumatised. I respect kosher and halal slaughter because they are part of our faith, however I couldn’t ever bring myself to eat meat. Animals are sentient beings, just like us. They feel fear, anxiety etc and I’ve no doubt that they sense their fate in an abattoir.

As a Lebanese Muslim living in the UK, I can say that there is so much that we have in common with the Jews. It is a way of life for both of us. We eat halal which in the same diet as kosher, but we are forbidden from alcohol consumption. I wish we could bridge the gap and embrace our similarities rather than have conflict. My grandfather’s wife was Palestinian but had to flee to Lebanon. I have no issue with Jews, we are both Semitic but Zionism is where we clash. I loved all of your videos. So much of Jewish law I already knew as I came to the UK in the 80’s and lived in a predominantly Jewish community. My post graduate friends were all Jewish and my mentor was a very sweet Jewish consultant who’s wife frequently invited me to family celebrations . They practiced their faith but weren’t ultra orthodox. Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us.

[@lsmart]

@@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES As an Ultra-Orthodox pulpit rabbi, I am usually disgusted by these videos, which typically seek to denigrate the Ultra-Orthodox, either by focusing on minor customs that will seem pointless and extreme to the non-religious, or by distorting central aspects of Ultra-Orthodox life in an effort to make them seem ancient and primitive, such as their descriptions of marital life as loveless -- or even worse, as denigrating to women, when in actuality it treats women with far more respect than the non-secular world, where a present-day wife is depicted as nothing more than an object meant to satisfy man's base desires if you look at any advertisement or study any Freudian-based theories of human nature and relations. So I felt obligated to point out to potential viewers that this long 3-part series has earned the right to take up 2 hours of their time, by making it both informative and interesting viewing.

It's bugs the hell out of me when someone with a PA sets up in my local town centre , and starts shouting about God . Normally when I'm sat outside a coffee shop , trying to enjoy a peaceful Sunday morning . If a busker sets up their moved on , if someone is quoting a commandment , then the police don't want to be seen to be heavy handed . If I want to find religion , then I'll actively search it out . Until then keep the sermon inside the church .

Well sir with all do respect, when i see a man walking on the train tracks and I know the train is coming because i see it coming and I know he will be surely die, would it be right for me to walk on by and not disturb his Sunday morning walk? God commands me not to walk on by and love that man enough to warn him of what’s coming and let him know how he can be saved. Mark 16:15 …and then He told them “ go into all the world and preach the good news to everyone” Also with all do respect know that you have a very short time to take heed that warning. The train is almost here, not early, not late, but just on time. I’m sure you’ve noticed what’s happening in this world.

Only certain species of locusts are kosher; unfortunately, there's not a great deal of clarity on which species specifically were allowed, and because of an inability to identify kosher vs trief locusts, most all Jews will refrain from eating *any* locusts.

[@chatisawasteoftime]

No. Bacteria are not insects.

[@lightsinthesky4989]

No, bacteria are a taxa (class of species) of their own, completely distinct from insects

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were communicating with Hashem, were they obligated to these laws?

[@eliedecastro5716]

G'd said in the Torah that Abraham did, but you have to know Torah in order to see it

[@larryjackson6075]

@@eliedecastro5716 1. BEFORE Sinai, where did G-d SPECIFICALLY command Adam, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Abraham, Isaac , and Jacob, to keep the Sabbath? 2. Who was more connected to G-d, Moses or Adam? Only one Commandment for Adam: don't eat from the Tree of Knowledge. 3. Even though G-d rested on the 7th day, did He command Adam to rest on the 7th day, too? Even when G-d kicked Adam out of the Garden of Eden, He still didn't command Adam to keep the Sabbath. 4. G-d said that Enoch, Noah, and Abraham, are righteous (ALL the aforementioned are righteous, too), even though they didn't keep the Sabbath. 5. G-d commanded no one to keep the Sabbath until Sinai.

I am from a very Christian family , my mother always washed meat in salt water so there would be no blood , she would never buy meat touched by a woman . Every thing was scalded with boiling water . No television on a Sunday .Had different pans for meat and fish . Very old testament .

[@user-kv5du4ph3o]

I think she was Jewish then converted to Christianity

[@den264]

Why not just eat vegetables and save all the hassle.

[@ajh3301]

As a Christian you are under Christ’s covenant. The Old Testament laws no longer bind you.

[@global.explorer]

Soaking meat in brine only removes surface blood. All kosher meat contains blood.

[@global.explorer]

Televisions are not mentioned in the Torah.

Without religions, the world would have been a lot better place.

[@goodwifelucy5602]

Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin Chairman Mao.. shall I continue the list of great leaders who's lack of religion obviously helped them make the world a better place 🥱 try something original.

[@global.explorer]

That's what Hitler, Stalin and Mao thought.

[@rasol-007]

​@@global.explorer Hitler was a catholic for sure. And vatican and he were like allies.

I once had a discussion with some religious Jews in a Kosher restaurant in Golders Green. I said to them that technically killing animals in a kosher way is incompatible with an industrial way of killing. The animal has to be relaxed and this can only be achieved in a rural setting in a traditional way: it takes time. They were uncomfortable.

Dip an electric tea kettle in water? Oh lord... 3:00

[@dagmarsart]

I know right Hahaha

[@michaelriordan8265]

I remember when I was working for Jewish people in Cheetam Hill many years ago and most of them enjoyed a bacon butty on a Sunday morning

[@DjWesRolan]

I love they care about food safety. I don’t think I can be Jewish. Don’t seem to be enough hours in a day for them.

[@boweandrew3]

Fascinating

[@caroledrury1411]

I would measure the insect and see if it measures to 1 inch or half an inch to figure out whether you could actually digest it or not but probably you might want to consider the fact that it could not be digested

[@sscfc1]

The kosher slaughter method for poultry does not meet the Australian standard. The NSW Food Authority have approved the method even though its a poor method

[@goldengun9970]

religious Australian Jews can not eat non kosher. It isn't just a preference

[@catharineburke4494]

It gives me a Headache. Too many Rules. You aren't Living if you have all these rules.

I don’t find the hallow: meditation and prayer advert KZbin showed me before this video a coincidence 😅

[@josephaquigley9640]

I think ye worry too much. God loves all his children and is very forgiving. I don’t think he will be asking ‘what if’

[@eliedecastro5716]

Hashem is a merciful G'd. According to the Oral Torah when you die G'd is going to ask you these 3 questions. where your business dealing faithful? Did you make time to study Torah? Did you engage in procreation? G'd says I am holy, so you be holy. and the Torah gives us the guidelines on how to elevate your soul.

[@josephaquigley9640]

How do you know he will ask those questions

[@colinmayes9446]

They make all this fuss about the food being kosher, and a guy has a cigerette in his mouth.

[@TheSingaporeSlayer]

Then why would God give us free will?

[@global.explorer]

Free will is required by God's justice otherwise Man would not be given or denied good for actions over which he had no control.
