My Sukkos HOLIDAY meal with a HASIDIC family | HIGH HOLIDAYS series Ep 5

- Join me for a visit to the Friedlander family's sukkah! This sukkah hut for the holiday is a very plain sukkah adjacent to the family's little synagogue. It isn't the highly adorned private sukkah - of which the family has two on their balconies at home. This sukkah is open to all and has no door. And in that spirit, the family welcomed me in for a lovely chol hamoed meal.
Thanks so much to Ezra Friedlander / EzraFriedlander for hosting us!

I like how he praises his wife. Beautiful!
Jewish dad: you got enough food?
Dinner Guest: oh I’m fine really!
Jewish dad: I give you more food anyway.
Ok but this is the best part. 🖤
HA HA! My Latin mamasays the same thing!!
This channel has to be recognized as the most well put together and informative program about Jewish Orthodox Spirituality. And I must add, without the internet I would have never had the opportunity to have this privilege looked into the community. A sweet New year to everyone fill with honey and love and peace. Shalom
Wishing you too much honey and sweetness!
Same here, I come from a Reform background.
What a lovely family! That's so nice of someone to invite you into their sukkah! Being a member of this community myself, I appreciate how sensitively and positively you portray it despite your personal opinions and views. Great video!
This family seems to have found a solid balance between tradition and modernity. Technology is a tool, not a lifestyle. They value knowledge of the world, and choose the ways they will be part of it.
Mrs. Freelander is a truly beautiful woman. I would be very pleased to have such a wonderful spouse.
What a lovely husband to
praise his wife as not only woman he loves, but his supportive partner in life.
That younger boy, brimming with spiritual joy, and the way he said, of course, twice...
The little boy is adorable. Thanks for an amazing series, Frieda.
What a lovely tradition and beautiful family! I love when the young boy is singing.
Beautiful family!
Thank you for these videos, it really puts a human touch to a group of people that can feel so remote. ❤
I too extend my thanks to the Freelander family for hosting us! 💐🌃
I love love how you are putting frum people in a good light. Yes Boro Park is a sister community. I moved away from there and it has become more satmarish. There's more men that wear white socks, more women cover their shaitels. I'm okay with that. I have plenty of satmar friends BH. I am Zionist and they're cool about it.
Keep it coming! Waiting for the silver foiled kitchens 😉
omg the silver foiled kitchens!!! you made my day. Who will show me their silver foiled kitchen; that'd be the best.
I love the Satmars.
I enjoyed the video very much
This family is adorable. Love how the dad is pinching the crispy good bits of the kugel!
Thank you for sharing these experiences. I myself am not Jewish and live in Williamsburg and often wonder what's like for our Jewish neighbors. Our communities are so close, our children play at the same playgrounds, yet we feel so separated from each other. Wouldn't it be great if we could share our holidays, like Sukkos, with each other as a way to break down these barriers? Regardless, I enjoyed meeting the Friedlander family and wish them a very "sweet" year ahead and sending warm regards from your neighbors in Williamsburg. 🙂
Amazing family , wow
Wow such a warm respectful family. A true rarity.
Today is November 11th. My great grandfather Dr. David Halpern was a medic in the British army gave his life in the invasion of Sicily in 1943 while his wife and my grandmother fled to Canada from England. We should remember the sacrifices these soldiers made so Jews and all people could be free to live without fear and have the right to self determination.
I am of Italian decent (parents are Sicilian), I am 1st generation 🇨🇦 and I thank you for your Family’s sacrifice. I thank Frieda for this channel and for the opportunity to learn about this different ideology that has fascinated me for at least 30 yrs now. Sometimes, I think that perhaps in a previous Life I may have been Jewish, 🙂 otherwise I cannot explain why this……attachment? 🤔
Again 🙏 Frieda, I’m a new Subscriber and binge watching your videos! Very insightful, so generous of you to do this.
May his memory be for a blessing 💜✡️
Mrs Friedlander is very regal. For those who know her, know what I mean. She really is one of a kind.
Very interesting and such a warm family. Thank you
such a lovely family, thank you for sharing you time with them!!
This is wonderful- thank you!
What a beautiful community and family.
Wow, wow, wow. This is a stellar production on so many levels; far superior to anything on Netflix. What a warm and gracious family. Makes me want to join their sect. Kudos, to you Frieda. Well done!
I’m so impressed with this. A meal with all the chit chat.
They are just people like everyone else. It’s beautiful to watch.
What a lovely family. So kind of them.
I LOVE, LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! BLESSINGS!
Such a wonderful family!!!
Frieda, you are a true documentarian. Thank you for your beautiful and thoughtful work.
Thank you so much for sharing your culture. This, and all of your videos, was very educational and revealing of such a typically closed off culture, which Hollywood and the media much malign. Your channel is a very beautiful story.
What a beautiful family! Peace and blessing upon you all ❤
Absolutely great🔯😊🔯😊! Here's the messianic girl back; I'll have my first Sukkot right this year-- had also my first pessaj & shavuot earlier on and now the last (official) feast we celebrate in our congegation will be this. Enjoyed this lovely family very much, are they going to sleep for seven nights there? This is really impressive. And such interesting people, thank you for sharing Frieda, God bless you.
Born and raised in NJ I have many Jewish friends but none Hasidic. For some unexplained reason I have always thought of Hasidim as closed off and not wanting to associate with anyone outside of their community. The visit you had with this family was truly eye opening and heart warming. Thank you for such an informative video and please do more of them!

Dear Frieda, thank you very much for this series. For me, it is a glance in the world, which I don’t know, but I would like to know. I am a Jew from Russia. Probably you have some idea what this means. I believe, we are described as a secular jew. We had grown in a country, where any kind of religious weren’t allowed. So there were no traditions, Holidays or anything else, except the nationality in our passports. Which, I believe, was created only for the discrimination. Now I am trying to find the connection between us, the jewish people. But I am, personally, don’t feel or see any relationship, specifically with the the orthodox groups. I like your way to show us their world, and let me have my own opinion about it. I was absolutely, fascinated with Pearl, I apologize, if I got her name incorrectly. What a wise and very attractive person. Thank you very much one more time!
There are many religious Jews in Russia. Rabbi Berel Lazar or his staff would be able to help you connect and learn more about Judaism
As a German speaker, Frieda's "Hast kaum gegessen" made me go 👀
I love the niggun that the father and the younger son sang!
What a cute sweet family! Thats the way I want people to see my little family. Loving, intelligent and welcoming.
I still have a blackberry too haha i love the keyboard
Ezra is my friend! Great guy! And Chesky B. Is hiding in the background😁
I love this family! So welcoming. Thank you
I loved this! Thanks for sharing! It’s so sweet to see how much he loves his wife too!
This is fascinating to watch on so many levels. Your videos are very well done. The questions you ask bring interesting points and good conversations. It’s admirable that this family opened up their homes and sukkah for you and for the camera. You are very kind and respectful of them. I noticed you refrained from singing along with the men. I wonder if this was difficult for you to do.
Keep up your good work. Excellent material.
Chaya, your lovely comments mean so much to me.
As for your question about not singing - I tend to code switch. With non-religious friends and family I sing without ever even thinking about it. But with religious people I don’t sing almost as if from muscle memory. I do find that while doing these videos, being relegated to female roles and spaces sometimes makes me really sad and brings back memories of exclusions that I found really difficult from when I was young. But you know, at the end of the day I chose not to live in this community so I go home and I sing to my heart’s content. So the short periods of restrictions while I’m there doesn’t bother me much.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn Thank you for taking the time to reply. I feel the same about code switch. It’s a whole topic of itself, worthwhile to explore
Frieda - Thanks for another glimpse into Hassidic Jewish life. I learn so much from your videos
Seems like a very practical way of dealing with modernity.
What a nice, loving family .. I smiled so much listening to the dad speak so wll of his wife, so so sweet and loving and respectful .. and the kids are so well behaved and enjoy their culture
Frieda I really Enjoy your videos. Wish I will have an oportunity to join your tour one day :) .
That was so beautiful. Thank you for sharing that with us. It was lovely to see the family and to be reminded know that there are good people from all walks of life and belief systems in America!
Very interesting...and the Hasidim Jews have the best headgear 😄
1:52 great to see the good old Chachmei Lublin Yeshiwa in the background. Greetings from Poland
I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you so much for educating me and the thousands of others who would not have an opportunity to see this beautiful community from the inside. Bless you and the Friedlander family.
It's healthy that children aren't exposed to the internet and to all the rubbish on TV, as long as they have informative, child-appropriate books to read. It lets them develop their imagination and their minds. The internet is great for studying and learning about the world, but for children, it should only be available under supervision. I could do without some (quite a few) of the restrictions, but otherwise, this seems like a lovely community to grow up in.
What a wonderful family!!!
Really enjoyed this and learned a new word! I can't imagine living in such a safe neighborhood and being able to leave the door open. Our synagogue constantly has an armed policeman at the door. This is the sad state of affairs we live in.
Which word!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn Rebbish!
@@kathleenklein4231 great word
🤍✡🤍🌈
I’m unbelievably jealous. They seem so nice, and the itinerary of the evening looked so fun! Sukkos is my favorite holiday. 💙
Frieda you are so blessed to be able to be apart of the Hassidim in New York. May HaShem bless in all your Endeavors concerning the sharing of Hassidim with the world and your personal endeavors. ✡️
This was beautiful to watch. What a lovely family and such fascinating customs in the sukkah. I enjoy these videos. Thank you for sharing! 😊
Thank you frieda!! I loved being part of this if only as an outsider looking in. What a gorgeous family, such depth of faith with oodles of humour, you could litetally feel the love amongst them all!!! That little girl is adorable!!
What a lovely lovely family. The Dad reminds me of a Hollywood film star when he speaks, but I cannot recall who, lol! Great video Frieda!!
Your videos are the best! Lots of Hatzlucha in everything that u do
Thank you for sharing! Our world needs more opportunities to appreciate differences and embrace similarities. This family was relatable on so many levels.
I was so glad you were able to do this and show us, really fascinating, it looks fun too. What a lovely family.
What a beautiful sukkah, and a beautiful sweet family...thank you for sharing this....
Thank you for watching!
Hello Frieda it is 3.10 am Saturday now in Singapore and instead of sleeping i am watching your video thank u so much for sharing with us your wonderful experience there at Ezra's house
Frieda, this is a lovely video. I'm so glad that you are finding community members who feel comfortable to invite you into their homes (& sukkahs), and who give their time to share a little about their lives & yiddishkeit. I can't begin to express how meaningful this is for me, for society & for modern history. A big shkoyach to you, your team & your guests.
Friday vizel appreciates both worlds the religious and the secular just like me
AMAZING, gorgeous people, so intelligent and grounded. You, Frieda, bring out the best. You are uniquely gifted for this role!
So sweet ve'shmachtah
Frieda you make such beautiful videos
I like the way you present the hasidic community in a respectful way. Your videos are super! And such generous and warm family! I would like to be invited 😊
All the best from Norway ❤
beautiful song!!
I love Ezra!
What a lovely family. Such an interesting evening and conversation with them. Thank you for sharing with us.
As a Noahide, I really enjoyed this wonderful video.
Thank you for providing such loving and educational videos.
Would love to see a guide book from you on Hasidic/Jewish food and associated traditions. Please?
Thank you so much for putting the time, effort and craftmanship in every single one of your videos. This is such a brilliant channel!
Btw, congrats on reaching 10k!
Shabbat Shalom! 🍷💐
I love watching your videos! I do not have the pleasure of living near such large Jewish communities and love being able to learn through you.
I love your channel being a Jewish convert.
Once again, Frieda, you’ve knocked it out of the park! Or the Succah!
I love watching your videos! You’re so talented! Always upbeat and happy! A pleasure to watch you! 🌟🌟🌟
ha ha, this is a note to express my appreciation for your pun.
They seem like such a nice family. Thank you from another informative video!
So lovely
Beautiful video Frida!!!
Sukkot is my favorite holiday.
What a lively and communicative family that was...I am sure that they would have happily engaged in more conversatin with some open end questions i.e.: Oh your the only girl? What are some things you do that your brothers do not? Which things that your brothers do would you like to do as well? For the boys: What does your typical day look like? What is different for you during the Holy Days? How long did it take to put up the sukkah? Who did what and why was that so?
How long has the couple been married? How many guests come to visit the sukkah in a day?
I am sure you can think of many more open end questions that you can apply in various situations that you encounter on your interesting journeys.
All the best for you❣️
Too pretty for me to stand! When I see Fridah my heart, skips a beat!😍 I would marry her in a williamsburg second!
absolutely wonderful episode.......
This was lovely! Thank you for sharing this experience with us, and to the family for allowing us this visit!♥️♥️
Beautiful family and beautiful guest! Thank you for sharing with the rest of us!!
Many years ago (1960s) there was a small congregation of Liska chassidim in the Bronx, with a Rebbe also by the name of Friedlander. Their existence seems to have been erased from history and im curious what connection (if any) they had with the Boro Park branch...
Love this as we move toward the High Holidays
I love this channel..I would be grateful if you could share with us more of your personal story..thank you!
TY! Thank you to the whole family and congregation for sharing!
Excellent content as usual 😌
Love what you do !
I enjoyed every second
Thank you, it was fascinating to watch!
As a kid i would visit other chassidims sukka. Its very very different fir lubavitcher chassidim
I like this video.🙂
Thank you for that video. I learned new words and got to see how it is to eat inside a sukkah which I haven’t done yet😊👍🏼🕎✡️🙏
