What are those drinks that are on the table? They look like pastis which is a clear liquor but when mixed with water it turns into the milky-muddy-like colour like the drinks in your video.

[@yancylevy5779]

Best time in Israel, every Herzl street..where real everyday Israeli life happens. You are privileged sharing your day with Saba… wonderful. Thanks for this special video! … nice haircut!

[@geozap4518]

The prophecies of Herzl: "At Basel, I founded the Jewish State. If I said this out loud today, I would be answered by universal laughter. Perhaps in five years, certainly in fifty years, everyone will know it." -- Theodor Herzl, diary entry for September 3rd, 1897 "The Diaspora cannot take place again unless the civilization of the whole earth shall collapse." -- Theodor Herzl quote found in Martin Gilbert, Israel: A History, New York 1998, pp.11,12 The first prophecy already came true. . . .

[@cheefsmokealot4479]

It’s great how Jewish people value family and especially the elderly. You are very lucky to still have your grandpa. Cherish him and cherish every time you are with him. I wish I could still sit, eat and talk with my grandpa. The older generations have great stories and lessons of life to give you. Am Yisrael Chai!!

my grandfather was a holocaust survivor from poland too, i think that generation the generation of your grandfather and mine was the greatest generation EVER< i think they should be honored even MORE than the ancient patriachs i think, as many are still alive they should be given the BEST of everything as they dont have many more years of life left.

[@MrZimmmy]

Hey Oren, you are a lucky man to have your Saba by your side keeping pace with you, stride for stride. I also imagined myself walking together with you and your grandfather as you strolled down Herzel St to get your haircut, which looked good by the way. I was surprised to see there were so few people on the street but I was impressed with the modern highway that you drove on from your kibbutz. When I lived on kibbutz Ayelet HaSchahar in the mid-70s, when I taught ESL at Hula Valley Regional HS, the highway hadn't yet been built. See you next time. Yalla Bye 🇮🇱

[@loveisallyouneed5877]

Thank You Oren for Your so personal Video about the Herzl-Street ❤️ All Your Videos have this personal touch because You know so good what You present us...it is so authentic - specially when You pick up Your Grandpa to go to the Barber and got a Good Haircut!

I think a video about your grandfather would be very popular. Indeed you are very blessed, and he too, having each other. What an interesting life he must have had during the creation of today's Israel. Thank you for showing us a piece of your personal life. The food looks delicious too: it's making me hungry! Wishing you and your grandfather many more years of trips to the hairdresser and cafe together! 💜

[@bron-sconcess.10]

It's unlikely you'll see this comment but, I love this video! 😏 Did I expect your haircut to be such a massive topic? Well no; but (there's a reason Rianha & her beau stopped to visit the local barber for a chat in Anerley, outer London - normally a similar to, if 'quiet', Hetzel Street), then got swamped as news travels fast). Barbers are a heart of a place. Your haircut is fabulous! I mostly loved the video for the serene elements, to see Jerusalem (I did not get to that area when I visited), to see your Grandparents and to realize you have responsibilities. A very special video. 🙏🏽 Thankx for sharing.🌿

Really happy to see your grandfather. I know its not the purpose of the channel, but would be amazing to hear his stories.

[@sridattachatterjee2711]

I lived in beersheva for 6 years! And everytime i miss israel, i watch your videos. Your USP is your israeli "accent", body language, etc. Basically it makes me miss israel a little less. The Herzl st shows the true essence of a "normal"/regular israeli street which is exactly what i miss so much. You could have made a longer video. At least a part 2 would be welcome. Your haicut looks pretty good btw.

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

Thanks! next week I will make a video about the market in Jerusalem. It will be a long one.

[@beckybarhen1700]

I lived in Beer Sheba for 6 years too, as a child in the 70’s. So this Herzel Street is the way I remember shopping. Is this Herzel Street in Beer Sheva (I know it’s supposed to be like Anytown USA) maybe you said and I missed that part of the video. Thanks for the video!

[@sheltr9735]

I immediately paused the video to see whether there were many comments about the smoker in the marketplace It's amazing that, shortly after Oren mentioned that Herzl streets are mostly unchanged since the 70's, he found a guy who stepped right out of that timeframe!

What a precious tradition to grab a haircut with your grandfather! Really loved the video. I live in a town where our Main Street is thriving, because it’s the home of Andy Griffith, and we capitalize on that, but I would say most Main Streets in America are dead.

[@charleshamilton9274]

So, Herzl Streets are similar to “Main Street” in the US. I think in England it’s “High Street.” Anyway, for countless American Main Streets the arrival of a Walmart spelled doom for many “Mom and Pop” Stores. Unable to compete for convenience and discounted pricing, these absolute icons of an America long-lost went out of business. Around Thanksgiving there is an organized (and I hope very successful) campaign to get consumers to purchase from small businesses. Ideally Americans should be doing this all throughout the year. Both my grandfathers died before I was born but to spend a day getting a haircut, having lunch and a convivial conversation with my grandfather(s) sounds awesome! Thanks for posting!

[@happydillpickle]

It's the same in the UK: small businesses have been struggling and going bankrupt for years due to the huge chain stores and supermarkets. It's such a shame to see generic high streets in every town and city: Starbucks, Costa, Subway, MacDonalds, Wallmart... it's like a little duplicate of the US nowadays, with out of town shopping "villages" built where there were once green fields. I was in the US before Subway came to the UK and I didn't realize at the time it was a huge chain...I thought it was a small independent sandwich shop until it opened across the UK a few years later! I miss the days when there were small, affordable cafes, butchers, bakers, greengrocers, hardware shops and rolling green countryside on the outskirts of every town instead of multinational corporations, motorways, dual carrigeways and sprawling housing developments everywhere... It's the same in Israel. My friend was so sad about the orange groves in Jaffa being razed to build new housing. So sad.

[@AsimoTan]

I wouldn't say that Herzl streets are equivalent to main streets. This one does. All cities have main streets and they are named differently. The thing is, there are common street names you would find in almost every city and the majors roads are usually named: Herzl, Weizmann, Jaboutinsky, Biyalik, Begin, Ben Gurion, etc.

[@JOSHUA-hs4zt]

Amazing story......what a beautiful relationship

[@ianwilson8759]

Can't comment about your haircut, but loved the fact that you care so much for your grandfather and for the heavy toll on small businesses in Israel. It's such a shame that they pay the heaviest price for the more rapacious elements of our capitalist system, when they are the true capitalists: they take the risk, they invest their own money, they may not make a profit, but if they do it's now peanuts because the profit margins are so small. I don't know what the answer is - it surely isn't marxism, where they would fare even worse.

[@rolandgerard6064]

The extremes will join at a certain moment. A very few people will possess everything (we are quite on the way already) The rest will get what one will decide to share. Anyway i know who wins at the end (source the bible).

[@sunshine6522]

The solution is to crack down hard on large retailers and e-commerce, charging massive taxes from the owners- and massive sales taxes from the shoppers. While at the same time subsidizing small retailers- and providing free transportation to the main streets.

[@ablond1701]

A very nice video, haver. Your haircut is nice too. It makes you look younger.. Normal life in Israel is often overlooked or unreported. Keep up the good work. Kol tuv / Mach's gut !

[@ablond1701]

PS. It would be even nicer to interview ordinary people in the street and ask them what they do at the weekend, what foods they like etc. Something like the "Easy German" series on KZbin. Israel isn't just about visiting religious sites or beautiful scenery. It also has fascinating people from all walks of life and backgrounds.
