[@zioniskris]

.Rabbi Jewishs are Lies. GOD HIMSELF HAS CURSED THE JEWS FOR: The hatred and conspiracy of the Jewish Rabbis with Herod the Great King of the Jews, against the baby Jesus who was born in Bethlehem, ordered the execution of all boys aged two years and under in all of Bethlehem. (Matthew 2:16-18)… “Therefore the Jews were Prophesized for Their Wickedness”: “and they will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled upon by the nations that do not know God, until the times of the nations are fulfilled" (Luke 21:24)

I actually think it's a shame that Ashkenazi culture seems to be overshadowing so many of the Mizrahi and Sephardic elements. Those people have so much to give culturally. Also as a somewhat mean remark, though it's meant in good spirit, the Ashkenazi influence on modern hebrew is extremely apparent to me as an outsider from Germany: Oftentimes hebrew just sounds like random gibberish with a very strong German accent to me. Heh.

Every Culture is so colorful if you are Christian, Jew, Muslim. Why change your history. Don’t change!

I'm not sure arrogance over Arabs has anything to do with how the Jews/Israelis dress. I was in Egypt in the 1980's and the men mostly wore a light colored robe (galabiya), with maybe 10% wearing modern Western clothing, and 99% plus of the women wearing a black robe (gallibaya) and hijab, which they would hold with their teeth to partially cover their face. I have since seen pictures that appear to show a large percentage of Egyptian women wearing modern Western clothing out in public (some without sleeves, shocking, I was physically assaulted for wearing short sleeves in the extreme heat in 1985), which surprises me, since I know that 86% of them are still "circumcised"; a horrible procedure which greatly increases the danger of childbirth. With Gaza in the News so much recently, I've noticed that ~100% of the Palestinian Arab men appear to wear modern Western clothing, while many of the women still appear to wear the traditional robes and hijab. I doubt that either Egyptians or Palestinians are being pressured by Europeans/Americans to dress like us, they just seem to prefer it.

Palestinians were always saying that Jews of Palestine were ripped away from their own heritage and now I understand their words. It was bizarre before because I thought that being there in Israel meant all Jews were now in tune to their heritage. But it seems that every Jewish community except for Ashkenazim lost their own unique identity and assimilated into becoming European out of some form of sociological cohesion instead of valuing their uniqueness. This community damage and loss of heritage can never be repaired nor restored, much like ancient Hebrew. Once lost it is lost for good and all there is, is a Eurocentric reconstruction version of Hebrew. Devastating. Poor people.

A very interesting video. Thanks for this..I hope the sephardic and mizrahi culture will thrive and will not be forgotten because going by this video the ashkenazi seems to be dominant, at least within Israel. In Iran there are many Jews and most of them are Mizrahi and I think their dress code is very different to the Ashkenazi dress going by a few documentaries I've watched.

[@avinaughty]

this feeling can only be based on observing the orthodox, or ultra orthodox Jews. If you focus on "secular" or tradionalist Israeli Jews, the dominance is getting more and more Mizrahi. European/Ashkenazi Jews have disconnected a long time ago from the "European" heritage. Classical music, ballets, operas..not really there. Pop music in Israel includes more and more elements of Arab/Turk/Middle eastern elemtns, and that's beside the whole big genre of "oriental/mediterranean music" The food is totally middle-eastern, quite hard to find restaurants or street food based on Ashkenazi cuisine. Mizrahi tradition is well kept in synagogues, holiday dinners, amongst most Mizrahi population, whereas secular Ashkenazi people drift away from religion and tradition, living a life so very different than their ancestors 100 years earlier - with Mizrahi Israelis, there's much more continuity.

The second guy is the most correct, although it goes back further than just the past few decades. Ashkenazi emissaries began influencing the religious communities in parts of the Arab world during the nineteenth century since new economic opportunities, and the education from the Alliance Universale Israelite, gave more incentive for gifted students to go into more lucrative jobs rather than the rabbanut. So there was a decline in religious observance, yeshivot following an orderly curriculum, and so on. They also affected the culture of the Sepharadi yeshivot in Palestine during the twentieth century - which was evident at Porat Yosef for example, which refused to teach philosophy or theology, and followed a more typical Lithuanian curriculum (much to the chagrin of people like hakham Uziel, who pushed for a more traditional Sepharadi curriculum). The Lithuanian influence just became far more pervasive over time, and also included the hassidic factor with Chabad, Breslov, and Satmar going after them. They keep some customs and their liturgical rite, but to some extent, they're barely Sepharadi anymore (ok, this is hyperbole). They'll be more likely to cite Isserles or Kagan than Duran, or even Maimonides and Alfasi, for Jewish law. Same with Rashi or other Ashkenazic commentators throughout the ages, rather than people like Ibn Ezra or Kimhi, or other exegetes who followed what was more typical in the Mediterranean areas.

Raanan111 I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. I said *"They keep some customs,"* and I never said they follow those sources. I was implying they follow the typical methodologies of Ashkenazi posekim, which are different than those of Sepharadi ones (e.g. we generally stayed away from pilpul sophistry, and studied the halakhic reasoning of the geonim). I was also implying that they *should* be placing greater emphasis on studying Maimonides or Alfasi as our communities typically did (they were the main halakhic sources which we followed, even if we also followed Karo and some other aharonim). As an aside, many don't actually end up eating rice, legumes, and all that on Passover because they accommodate Ashkenazim (no, it's not because they're too lazy to sift through it). While other Ashkenazi customs, some old, some new, have started to become more common (for example, seniut and mehisa "laws"; following the nine days, even the three weeks period, instead of shavua shehal bo; going through insane measures to check for bugs in vegetables even though checking just means removing whatever is visible under normal conditions; waiting 6 hours to eat dairy after eating something cooked with meat, like soup, but not eating any meat itself, when there isn't that prohibition to wait etc)

[@raanan1115]

​@@Mas_Tun What??? What do you mean that Mizrahim are today "barely Sefaradim?" Sefaradi means following pesaq Sefaradi, do you think it means anything beyond that??? Chakham 'Ovadiyah Yosef could blow away any poseq Ashkenazi in pilpul & all rishonim use pilpul & calling Ashkenazi pilpul "sophistry" is borderline anti-Semitic. Can you give me any examples of following gaonic reasoning in RIF, RAMBAM, RITVA, RASHBA??? I mean, I've seen then RARELY mention a geon, but their reasoning seems original. WHY do you think Mizrahim should be following RIF & RAMBAM & why do you drop rabbinical titles like an Ashkenazi? Are you dismissing the ROSH because he was Ashkenazi??? The RASHBA certainly did NOT do that! Do you consider gaonic reasoning to be superior to that of Rishonim??? Which Mizrahi poseq does not use pilpul today? The downside of Ashkenazi pilpul is not moving toward a practical pesaq because of doubt.

[@Mas_Tun]

Maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not talking about "Mizrahim" (I hate that term) altogether. I'm talking about the ones who are part of the yeshiva or haredi world and are heavily influenced by Lithuanians and/or hasidim. Borderline anti-Semitic? Are you out of your mind? And Sepharadi posekim did *not* historically use pilpul. It was heavily criticized during the Middle-Ages (although that term is more closely related to Christendom, but I'm just using it as a general time frame). Even in Maimonides' time, the students of his yeshiva in Egypt were instructed to study his Mishneh Torah in order to make halakhic decisions in order to avoid them misusing pilpul. Alfasi was basically the end of the geonic period and studied under Nissim ben Jacob in Kairouan. Maimonides' rulings were closely related to Alfasi and they differed on a handful of occasions (he's also an indirect pupil via his father, via Migash). The same can be said of the Andalousian tradition in general. They were followed because they generally codified the Talmud, and did not give much precedence to local customs (which isn't entirely true, but mostly the case), nor, like later on, to customs which originated among the mystical tradition which emerged in the end of the twelfth century. They were the standard among the Jews in the Muslim world. Karo even mentions that regarding Maimonides in Avkat Rokhel. That's why I mentioned them; I wasn't name dropping, nor was I saying they were authoritative because of who they were like the typical gadolatry. I didn't say it's superior to the Rishonim. I was saying that our communities often (albeit not always) followed those same kinds of sources that our rishonim used. Obviously there's going to be diffusion from other sources, and I didn't denigrate that either. I didn't say anything about Rosh, for example, who influenced Karo. What I did attack in the original comment was that the later geonim, early rishonim, and aharonim of the Sepharadic world are not taught as often nowadays. Even after Shulhan Arukh became more standard, our hakhamim were still intimately familiar with those other sources (even including relatively modern ones, like Uziel, Messas, or Chelouche). Even mori Qafih and the Dor Daim, which are classical in approach, are controversial among many religious "Mizrahim" today, when they really shouldn't be.

[@chayaochs9212]

Hi Corey, I've enjoyed many of your videos but this one disappointed me. I feel like it was based on two faulty premises - 1) Sefardim are ashamed of their heritage and 2) that's why they dress like Polish Jews. As to the first point - people who do not dress like their grandparents are not necessarily ashamed of their heritage. Many Americans whose parents/grandparents immigrated from India/ Pakistan / China / (enter country of your choice), do not continue to dress in the official, formal style of their country of origin. Most of them look like...21st century Americans. And it's quite possible that your grandfather did not wear red t-shirts when he went outside, and yet your wearing one, is not a rejection of your heritage. As for the second point - the people who dress in the black and white "uniform", are not dressing in Polish garb. Rather they are dressing in the current style of the chareidi yeshiva society to which they now belong. The fact that the style originated in Poland - a favorite mocking point for all anti-chareidim - is really irrelevant. However it came to be, the current dress code for the yeshiva world is the black and white uniform. And people who identify with that society dress that way. And Arabs who dress in modern western clothing are not rejecting their heritage. And secular Israelie of Moroccan, Persian, Bukharian etc. descent who wear western clothes instead of traditional clothes of their grandparents, are not rejecting anything...

[@mendy7]

Exactly. No one dresses the same way as their ancestors did. I am sure the person behind the camera also dresses different than his great grandfather. People dress the way their society does. The bias in the question (copying others /rejection of your tradition) is ugly.

[@tzvi7989]

Whilst I agree with you I think Corey's point was that polish aristocratic garments from the early days of chassidus (i.e. modern yeshivish uniform) arent the most practical dress choice for a hot Middle-Eastern country and since there are other ways to dress that maintain all the other halakha including modesty yet keep you cooler why not adopt them instead?

That's not the point. Ashkhenazi dress style and customs aren't native to Israel but to Europe, mainly Eastern Europe. They don't originate in the Middle East, so why should Middle Easterm Jews wear Polish, or other European dress? It's not like it's become the "standard" dress for Jews everywhere, lol However, with that said, it seems the main reason is the Sphardic and Mizrahi yeshivas have died down and the Askhenazi yeshivas are the most common so that style of dress is de rigeur there.

This is an exhortation to never forget that who you are doesn’t matter, only what you do matters.

I'm a Catholic I totally get it. We have lots of groups who wear distinctive clothes. Such clothing is usually simple and modest, but sometimes hard to understand. That is because the particular style of dress was chosen sometimes hundreds of years ago and while fashions changed, the clothing worn by a particular group did not. We refer to such religious garb as a habit. Mother Teresa's girls wear a specific habit that fits India but they keep the same habit in every country. Religious garb is a good idea, any Catholic may be wearing religious garb or other items on his person at any time, it is common, just not often noticed. One form of religious garb among Catholics is called a scapular, it is a piece of cloth worn around the neck and hanging down the chest and back. There are many kinds of scapulars with many kind of purposes, they are a form of clothing. Such thing evolved for a time when people wore large symbols or representations on their clothing, as time went on the size of the representation became smaller to the point where one usually wears such things under a shirt or such type clothing. Such things are used to remind one of the things of God and how to behave, and, depending on the thing worn, it may call down the assistance of God through something we call grace. Grace can have kind of a wide range of meaning and is kind of specific to the moment and circumstance. The most important grace would be the indwelling of God in the soul, in such a soul which is received in a special way at Baptism it is called sanctifying grace and represents being in relationship with God as His friend and child. If one sins seriously, then that grace or indwelling of God, is lost, one may end up in hell, separated from the creator. If one repents, he can receive this grace again. There are many kinds of graces. The grace to be a good parent. The grace to do well in a math test. There are as many kinds of special graces as there are needs. Religious garb or uniform is a good idea all around, it serves to remind the wearer who he is and how he should behave, it serves others to see dedication to the holy things of God and it does the world good to see that there are those concerned with God and His commands. This also provides, hopefully, some idea as to modesty in dress, which is a very serious problem in the world. There is no downside to loving the creator and keeping the 10 commandments and study of the scripture. Catholic scripture includes all the Jewish scripture and sees it as the foundation to the New Testament scripture. Protestants lack some books that Catholics include. Catholics include the book of Tobit Protestants do not. Don't ask me why.

[@RedRiverMan]

Amen brother, all true! To the last question as to why Protestants don't have a the old testament books-its a long story but essentially they cut them out under Luther. In traditional protestant bibles they moved them to the back and said they are optional to read but not binding on faith, now they lost them completely. Luther didn't like them because they contained accounts of too much Catholic seeming ritual (which is because our Catholic practice are rooted in Jewish scripture of course) but mostly they didn't like them for the same reason the Jewish Rabbos didn't: The deuterocannon (thats the name for the books of Tobit, Wisdom, 1-2 Maccabees, etc) was written during the time of the Babylonian captivity and that somehow lowered their rate of inspiration. Now that last part I don't understand. Look upCatyholic videos on the subject, they are enlightening. Pax Christi!

My question is, Why do the Hasidim wear hats that are too small for their heads?

[@stiangam8258]

to hide their bold spots

[@ememe1412]

Actually its the head that's too big for the hat.

[@morehn]

They had smaller heads in Europe

[@ExclusiveShi]

Because the little hats were on 3 for the price of 1,at the local clothing store

[@shazbot199]

To show their allegiance with Rome.

I just returned from Yeshiva in Israel. I own LEGIT 40 whites shirts, and slacks. I can wear a different white shirt for like 2 months without washing them.. I can't dress without looking Yeshivish. I recently bought a pink shirt like 2 weeks ago, and I was like a baby shopping for candy. Oh gosh. I hope I can get the courage to wear it...

[@erichd4383]

Nice people, sincere answers. I love you!

[@michaelhood7994]

They dress the way they want Its their culture I think its fascinating they have Such Great character and unity

[@Paappeal]

correct because a real Israelite would not be seen dead like that! They are so fake it is unbelievable, and is rather hilarious!
