Matty Matheson Explores Kosher Montreal | Dead Set on Life Season 2 Episode 5

[@Hyperchick10hg]

The moment that Matty shares he grew up Mormon and that man’s face instantly changed made my heart burst. In one moment you could tell he finally was having a conversation where someone could understand his life and his struggles. Honestly this video was great, but that moment will make this stay in my memory for a long time

[@moeruss2726]

I totally agree, that last part when he was talking with the young man that had left his community was very emotional and you could see they understood each other’s struggles. It was really a heartfelt moment and just made this episode so much more meaningful than just a guy eating some food.

[@juniorlovell2833]

And he's the same way with or without the cameras on him I've met him 3 times and every time he was mad chill and respectful he offered me sausage pizza but it was lent so he said he'd eat one for me lol

Cracked up a lot during this episode but that was #1

[@nickdillinger]

"Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub"

[@joeycastle5753]

It's the General prayer for food. It's called the Hamotzi, or the Motzi for short (Ha means The in Hebrew) It's the bread prayer. Blessed are you, Lord our God, ruler of the universe who brings forth bread from the earth. There's a prayer for fruit, meats, dairy etc. But if you're having a whole meal the Motzi is all encompassing bc honestly nobody has time to bless each part of the food because otherwise it will get cold.

[@MyKnifeUrLifeVids]

[@samanthasunshine1925]

This episode hit hard. I grew up seventh day Adventist and I never felt like I belonged. This time Mattie brought tears to my eyes because I absolutely understand where these kids and him are coming from. What a wonderful Rabbi. Awesome episode.

[@peterduda1496]

I completely agree, I grew up seventh day adventist as well. I have such a deep love for everyone that can keep the faith but it was never a place that was going to allow to me to grow in the ways I needed to. When religion is tied to your youth in such a strict way, you are either going to grow with it, or you're going to grow without it

[@kevlumowa]

I grew up SDA too, and I can definitely vouch for a similar experience that this kid felt. It wasn't until I went to college and was introduced to more things outside of just the SDA religion that allowed me to grow more as a person. It's so comforting in a way to see that people have had similar experiences and struggles growing up with religion that I had.

[@hoshouhua]

Adventists representing here. Lol. Love me some kosher food. I can eat freely. Also in case you need to hear it, just because you all grew away from the church, don’t forget God still loves you and is trying to draw you back to Him.

@@rupincr6082 Dude, Buddhism has nothing to do with Judaism or any or any other religion. 99% Buddhists don't even know the core of the Buddhism. Matter of fact Buddhism is older than any other religion. People only see the recent Gautham Buddha as the start of Buddhism. But Gautham Buddha passed 28 other Biddhas before he became the Buddha. The time difference between one Buddha to another is about million years in today's standards. So figure how old Buddhism is.

This is the best episode yet. Matty and Rabbi Bernath work so well together and are also willing to learn about each other’s cultures and views. I feel like rabbis get a bad rep due to the ultra-conservative, super Orthodox ones that are super judgy of outsiders, but never forget that there are ones that will understand and respect you if you understand and respect them. Also I learned so much from this video that I would not have picked up anywhere else.

Their practice is still extremely strict, but they’re not the yiddish-speaking closed off communities that get the most press (in which the guy at the end seems to have been born).

I grew up in Utah and was forced to practice Mormonism until I graduated high school. I feel this episode on a spiritual level. I never knew Matty grew up Mormon too! :O Also, Rabbi Bernath is such a cool guy. I'm very cautious when I meet religious people but I would love to be his friend. He isn't all judgmental or pushy and doesn't try to guilt you into following his religion. I've only known about Hassidics in books or KZbin videos in NYC where you see them walking around. This has made me excited to try more Jewish food when I go to Montreal next.

I want to highlight the fact about the last guy telling the story how he left the community. It is one of the most hardest things you can imagine happening, your whole world will change and many of friends you had in your life will never talk to you again and see you as a traitor. It is a very sensitive theme to talk about with anyone this religious and I had to write here that I give huge amount of respect to the guy, to sharing this story and also some to the fact how the rabbi and others react to this being brought up. Also just the fact rabbi takes time to meet, talk and even share a meal with them is amazing too. A lovely episode and a great moment, food for thoughts in this one. Thank you.

Jewish food from eastern Europe - other than the pastries - are dull(er) than what’s to be had in the Middle East and North Africa. The few food types that could be called “Jewish” are those that were made for the Sabbath (because of the prohibition for cooking on the Sabbath). In Poland they made Cholent and in Yemen they made Jachnun. The former is sometimes very good - the latter is always very good.
