HASIDIC JEWISH CULTURE: Hanging with Hasidics EP 3 - Visit Crown Heights, New Yorks Neighbourhood

[@carolyntemplin488]

Rabbi is so sweet and kind, as is his wife

[@alwayslearning1347]

Remarkable people. I am so truly impressed and inspired by Rabbi Katz and want to thank him for sharing his grace, his joy in God, and his goodness. From a non-Jew in Belfast, Ireland.

[@merlinstwin7373]

I'm not Jewish but I hold a special place in my heart for Lubavitchers. I remember Rabbi Schneerson very well, a truly remarkable man. There is so much joy within every Lubavitcher I've come in contact with, a genuine desire for outreach as well as explaining the nuances of Orthodox Judaism. Thank you for the learning experience.

[@giraffesinc.2193]

I love this Rabbi! I am Roman Catholic but honor and love to learn of Orthodox Judaism! Their emphasis on G_d and family draws me, and makes me almost wish I had been born into such a wonderful lifestyle. When I bought my house in California, there was a sad mezuzah on the front door with no scroll. We replaced it to honor our loving God. Some day I hope to visit.

[@bryanpinto4051]

very similar to the Amish with their love for God and family. I truly believe that we were brought to this world by our creator to bring as many children here as possible. I am from Philadelphia and in the 60s and 70s the Irish and Italian families would have many children in the homes. What happened? The mother and father are such important parts of our community.

​@@EvaBrown-k2pI'm Roman Catholic as well and believe in the Trinity but who are we to judge another for any reason, especially based solely on religion. Christians are waaay too judgemental and it's embarrassing. There is only one true judge. What does the Bible say about judging another??

[@thedemongodvlogs7671]

There is a book written by a famous Jew who grew up in Scotland, whose name I unfortunately have forgotten, however my favourite description of his time is something along the lines of: "The Scots were friendly, and religion was never an issue. In most circles they view us as some kind of aboriginal Presbyterians." That last part always gets me lol. (Also, while judaism is a faith, it's primarily an ethnic group) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙✡️🇮🇱

As a practicing, traditional Roman Catholic I keep in mind that Jesus was a Rabbi. He started teaching in the temple at age 12 years for 3 days while Mary and Joseph looked for Him. I am in awe of Hasidic Jews: their joy, keeping the traditions alive and sharing this with others. If I am ever in the area you can bet I will visit!! Many thanks for your videos!

I tried to lay it all out for a Rabbi from Toronto that I met in hopes that we could discuss it and maybe he could point out things that I hadn't seen before, but he was completely silent about it. We did talk about other things, but not that, it was a real bummer. I get that it's sacred, my heart is in the right place with it, but it's lonely to think on it and have no one to talk to about it with

[@santacruz7455]

Two thoughts about this: Yoni and the other men are so very likeable and open, to get an insight like this is a gift, thank you so much for showing your way of life. On the other hand: it is still a cult IMO, the rules are completely outdated and often suppressive. I think you can live a good, respectful, healthy , worshipping life without all of the symbols, rituals, and especially the surpression etc. But I totally get why orthodox Judaism still goes for being a closed society, they have been supressed, discriminated, killed by others for thousands of years. It is essential to them to stay together, support each other and stay with their people. All the best to Yoni, his family and his community,

[@hrtgiger]

i would definitely not say it’s a cult, more fundamentalist, though even that attempts to put judaism in a christian box (fundamentalist first being used for christianity). haredi judaism is very complex and to call it a cult really undermines the whole thing. cults have very specific goalposts. there are little baby “cults” of sorts within orthodox judaism (check out lev tahor. scared me!), but this is not one of them.

I found this fascinating. I am not Jewish, but I find Judaism fascinating. Not only as a religion but a culture. Most of Christianity as I have experienced it has lost much of the sense of community, and culture that most practising Jews have been able to hold so tightly to. In a way it makes me a bit sad. For too many Christian’s, being Christian is more something they “do” rather than something they “are”… if that makes sense. ❤

Dear Rabbi, Thanks for the informative and charming video. Could you discuss the Orthodox view on Heaven, Hell, or the Afterlife? Best wishes, Steve

[@elijahfish]

Here's my answer as a lay Orthodox Jew. One of the fundamentals of Judaism is that people receive reward and punishment in the next world for their good and bad deeds (respectively). Unlike in some forms of Christianity, Judaism does not necessarily view it as either/or. Rather in general, people's souls are punished (cleansed is probably a better term) for their bad deeds over a finite course of time, after which they receive their infinite reward. Since we are discussing spiritual concepts outside the realm of this world. Nobody knows exactly what the reward and punishment are. There may be different opinions or descriptions in Orthodox Jewish sources. Judaism teaches that a person who sinned can be forgiven by doing teshuva (loosely translated repentance). Which means confessing there misdeeds to G-d, regretting them and committing not to repeat them (and asking forgiveness/making restitution if they wronged another person). Lastly, Judaism does not believe that everyone in the world has to be Jewish. Rather non Jews have to keep seven commandments which we believe were given to Noah. These are 1:) Not serving idols, 2.)Not blaspheming G-d 3.) Not stealing 4:)Not murdering 5:) Establishing a justice system 6:) Not eating meat taking from a living animal 7:) Not engaging in sexual immorality (adultery and the like). As I said, I'm not a Rabbi, but do spend time studying and answered to the best of my ability. All the best.
