Im working my way into Hasidim after 39 years of being a secular Jew, would love to go to Uman one day.

[@ShloimeZionce]

Welcome brother!

[@EliUnityGoldsmith]

On that journey too 😊

[@succatash]

@Gaby-giby thanks for clearly stating you don't know anything about Judaism, If you watched the video you would've seen lots of Hasidim working. I'm guessing you watched one video on KZbin about Haredim and think you're and expert.

@@ShloimeZionceI’ve asked the same on twitter but you didn’t respond. I’ll try again here. In your back to Poland movie you didn’t mention anything about Jews that still live in Poland and have their communities there. I’m one of them. I live in Warsaw. I think you’ve made a picture in which Poland is framed as one big cemetery where no Jews live. It’s very harmful for people like me. And then at the end you went to Hungary to show how amazing Jewish life is there. Could you tell me why?

You need a lot of courage to take such a young child into a country at war… I hope you both of you got home safely. Greetings from Oradea (Romania). We had a big Jewish Community before WW2. Most of the coummunity that survived is located in Brooklyn, NY now. We remember those who died in The Holocaust in schools, museums and special events, even though most of us are Christian Orthodox here.

I just did it from Slovakia to Ukraine and back and there was no wait cause we walked threw the border and a different bus waited the other side so the whole border took about 15-20 min

You took a crazy route to Ukraine. They have a direct sleeper train from Warsaw to Kiev. You can then take a car the rest of the way.

Hello from Chisinau

[@heliosperegrin]

I went to Uman in 2017 to visit the Sofiyivka Park while I was travelling in Ukraine. Had no idea about the Hasidim presence there and it was crazy to walk though and see more Hasidic Jews in one day than I'd seen in my whole life. Went to visit the synagogue and honestly the garb of the people in there was absolutely bizarre to me. Like one guy was wearing this tiny 2d cardboard cutout of a black hat. Anyway, I'm happy that I got to visit and see this slice of history.

[@DanielS-zz4mn]

This just gave me an idea of going. I’m in Sweden. Would you recommend? Safe?

[@ShloimeZionce]

Only G-D can guarantee safety, but it feels safe.

[@sunshinegirl8216]

Hello Shoilme,, Since I do not know and I am curious- Do women attend Rosh Hashana if they are single or is it mainly a males only religious holiday? It looks like a very great way to come together in unity. Blessing for your coming New Year. 🙏

You said you arrived in France which is in the Schengen zone. Romania is also in the Schengen zone (as of a few months ago). Hence no border crossing. It's the equivalent of taking a domestic flight in the US.

[@lukaskamin755]

But why praying in the street (which looks not really nice) haven't they built a synagogue during allthose years? I've been there only once , but to the park Sofievka, never attended the city itself. That's a dope feeling, when you see somebody in America via KZbin and then you see they come here (the same with Peter Santanello) LOL hope you'll manage to do the same this year, and it be peaceful/ Shalom

[@peytonv4040]

Curious to know your opinion on the notion that going to uman for the holiday instead of staying with wife and kids is seen as wicked in some sects. They believe that Rosh Hashanah should be spend with family and not partying in Ukraine. I know it may be different for single yeshiva men as they don’t have a family yet but I’m curious to understand the perspective of the other side.

I was slightly panicking, thinking I had missed Rosh Hashanah, which I was sure was on the 2nd - 4th of October 2024. Then I saw the recording was from last year. Hahaha

Great video. One question about the border -you said that after 3+ hours you bribed the border guards to get across border in 2 minutes. But in the next shot you said it took almost 7 hours. Doesnt add up. So you didnt get across border when you paid the bribe and still had to wait 3 hours?
