Volvo City (1991) A Documentary on the North London area of Stamford Hill • Full Version

[@raymondkilminster2194]

I work in the Boots there for nearly forty years all this brings back memory's .

[@britturk123]

I hope this wonderful doc will be seen by some of the Hasidic community from Stamford Hill of that era, because whatever ones religion it is always great to reminisce . Thank you for posting.

[@ah795u]

Some of my family live in this community. The rabbis forbade TVs so I doubt any of them saw it 😭

[@RUBY-gr4sh]

I grew up there I was born in 2000 and it’s so cool to see what my old community was like in the days before I was around

Wow, I always wonder what it's like to recognize people in docs, especially years and years later!

@Frieda Vizel - Brooklyn Tour Guide it was my first time and its probably because its a documentary on where I live😂

[@Tmuk2]

I lived in this area for a couple of years and always thought it was sad how Jews and non-Jews would pass each other in the street as if the other was totally invisible

Stamford Hill is North London, not East ....

[@leetempo]

I lived in alconbury road it was e5 n16 was the next road to mine…basically near Stoke Newington common so technically their right because the Jewish community were in my road

[@johngreen6191]

33 years ago and the roads were cr*p then. Nothing changes then.

[@gutz323]

Channel 4 certainly did a good editing job to makes these people look foolish. It's sad really, they seemed to do it a lot to different people in these older documentaries from the 80's 90's and early 2000's. I could never trust a journalist.

You are awesome! DM'z fo' sure:)

[@ariebrons7976]

Thanks for the doc, here are some of my comments. (Please don't get offended, I watch these when sad) 1.How rude of these women to walk around seeking 'clients' and claiming it is a 'free country'. Keep such inapropriate things private. I don't go around spreading my oppinions on such 'services' either. 2. The whole 'shaving the head/covering the head completley' bit is a modern inventiom Women may show the front part of their hair and wear a scarf on the back. (the KSA states so in (the chapter discussing) modesty) My mum however states that this is not verry practical as the thing may slip, it needs to be pinned down, and is verry uncomfortable. She therefore opts for a corcheed barret. 3.the girl who said that Orthodox Jews divorce less. Is due to the husband having to agree to divorce his wife. Otherwise you my'lady are chained to a dead marriage. 4.that there needs to be some kind of attraction No, not at all Jewish dogma (the Kisur Shulchan 'Aruch) states: 'a man must love his wife and treat her with dignity even if he marries her for her money' (marital laws) 'one should converse verry little with one's wife, and his friends wife even less' (Good habits(I think)) 'one is not allowed to look at his wife' (descency) 'The man may not look at his wife's dress' (Idem dito) 'The man may sneak peaks at his date, but not for long' (Idem dito) 'one is forbiden to hear his wife sing' 'A woman's singing voice is (a form of)nudity ' (idem dito) And here's the kicker: One ought not to have relations for either pleasure or nescesity nor as a habit. But to fulfill the commandment of 'be fruitfull and multiply (Gen I.I). (Good habits, marital law and descency mention this) 'The burdon of being fruitfull only applies to the man, a woman ought to marry, lest she arouse suspicion, even if she does not desire children' (marital laws) Due to contraceptives being heavely regulated in the faith: My mum is an undesired chid, and so is my gran, my great grand gran ETC Hence I'm quite litterate in the law, for it pains me. And how about 'A wife is bought for a prutha (a coin)' (Mishna seder Nashim 1.1) 'The laws (of sexual purity) where instated to prevent the Rabbi's from behaving like Cocks in the rooster' (Mishna, Berakhot) A child may be sold (into bondage) when it can walk, this should be done to a Jew or a Kuthian (samaritan) Or as my grandfather put it "Outside there are plenty of rocks, let them (my mum, aunts and uncle) eat that" 5. Neither the communtiy nor the law gives one *** about safety. Most appalling is the fact that Berakhot chaper four (Hana's prayer); has R'Sadoque lamenting the lack of safety standards. (R'Sadoque lost his child in a work related accident) And why should you, If you can frighten and coerce people into knocking out more children? The finale makes that abundantly clear; You cannot have mass apeal and be an exclusive club. If you want me back Quit being racist mysogenists!

[@Qayil109]

This is very funny. I worked in the adult industry for 15 years and I dealt with Hasidic men on a daily basis. Here in New York City the hasidim frequent gay saunas, transgender and female street walkers, s&m dungeons and brothels. They are the prime players. Some of the working girls even put Yiddish language in their ads 😆
