- In my video tour of Bnei Brak, (see here • A Tour of Israel’s Ult... ) you met Eli Benedict who left the community but continues to be engaged with the Hasidic world. In this little bonus video, we talked about his personal life and the pain and difficulty he had endured when his place in the community dissolved.

Someone give this woman a cable TV show.
Please no, may she find success on YT.
Cable T.V forces people to sacrifice themselves for fame's sake.
I don't want another reality T.V about how terrible the Haredim are.
Judaism is pretty great, I just wish it had less rascism.
@@ariebrons7976came here to say the same thing.
Eli, I’m sorry for this pain. No child should be deprived of a loving parent. IYH he will seek you out when he’s old enough. The bond between parent and child is stronger than forced separation.
“Sour sweet.” 💔❤️
I know. So endearing…
Eli seems like a loving father. I hope he can be reunited with his son one day ❤
That story was very bitter sweet, to use your words. He's such a charming young man. I'm glad he has a chance to be a father and I hope in the future he can be reunited with his oldest son. I very much enjoyed both videos. Thank you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Thank you, Frieda. It's very interesting. And thanks to Eli for sharing his history. I hope one day he can see his son and have a relationship father-son. Stay all safe in these terrible days. ❤🕎
A heartbreak a son and father separated. As always, informative & heartfelt. Shkoyakh.
Maybe Pearl could negotiate a truce for this caring father and his sons community ?
🦋THANK YOU ELI FOR SHARING YOUR STORY
I AM SORRY HE CAN'T SEE HIS CHILD
Eli,your light shines bright, and I hope your first son searches for that light sooner than later.
Frieda, I absolutely love your interviews with Eli. He is so very interesting and I love listening to his stories! Thank you.
Me too. I love doing interviews with him!
@@FriedaVizelBrooklynthankyou for letting him speak!! So many interviewers interrupts and hurrys the interview to end quickly. You really allowed him to tell his story❤
@@mrsTraveller64 Eli is a great storyteller - he is so open, honest, his humanness pops off the screen! I'm so glad to have had him on multiple times.
Thank you Frieda for sharing this. As others have said Thank you Ben for bravely sharing his story. For your viewers who believe there is a panacea in any culture or belief system, there is not. It seems that Ben has found happiness and that’s what’s important. Hopefully his older son will search out a relationship with his father some day.
Thank you for sharing this. Hopefully one day Eli can see his older son! So glad he found a true mate! Wonderful story!
Thank you for sharing Eli's story, Frieda. It is a story that many people have and will experience. Perhaps, when his son is older, he will seek out Eli. Regardless, Eli will hold his love for his son is his heart. What a kind and thoughtful man.
Refreshingly insightful and optimistic character. TY freida. Israel has wealth of untapped material for the general English speaking community. More please
I have a dream of living in Israel for a few months. Maybe then I could do more videos of all the untapped material you mention.
It is very interesting to learn about a different world.
That is why the Get must always be organized and agreed upon before the chuppah!
Oh I'm happy he remarried and has another child
Thank you for letting Eli tell his story. I’m sure it wasn’t easy for you to listen to it!! ❤
Heartbreaking story...
Very forthcoming
This guy is a real warm happy human being, even when he is describing his pain, at least from the outside he looks like it.
Oh my goodness this is so sad that he can't see his son x
I know.
Oh, marriage! It’s a minefield in every community and we should count ourselves lucky if it all works out in the end. Humans are complex and then other humans want to influence us thus adding to the conundrum x
10000%
Thanks for the very different stories
Another great conversation Frieda! You have a gift talking with people and asking interesting questions. Thanks for this!
Thank you!!
Great interview.
Frieda, I am the mother of a boy close to Eli's age. He's so brave and kind. And you ask the most vital questions! How do you know to do this is amazing. Thank you!! how would I ever have met Eli, Pearl, Izzy, or known about the Hassidich boy in class, not knowing slavery existed, who cried when he heard the story of Harriet Taubman.
Tubman- not Taubman
Oh wow!!! Thank you thank you thank you. I LOVED talking to Gerry Albarelli and I’m touched you took that story with you. And everything else. It’s such a pleasure to share with listeners like you.
🔆🌈🌲🌳THANK YOU, FRIEDA😊Very interesting ~ “Bonus in Bnei Brak: Eli Benedict talks about his life” 🦋🦋 May G-D continue to Protect you and your beloved Family and Everyone whom you love and cherish💜v🌲🌳🦚🌲🌲🌲🌲
such a sad story
Your son will come back to you. Pray to Yahweh. Pray he finds wisdom, truth and the longing for his loving father and little brother. He will come back.
But one day, Eli, your son will look you up because I believe he would want to see his father. You will see him again one day I'm sure.
Nice video 👍 is he a Nazir?? I only ask because of the hair? Is he forming dreadlocks with the "peyots" in the back of his head?
ha ha, it's his trademark look. I don't think it has any relationship to Nazir-ness
😢So sad for that little boy not to know he has a warm, charming father. Boys need fathers desperately, we know today. There was no mention of a second marriage for the mother. Maybe she can provide some father figure for her son
she has her father and brothers
How sad😢 is there any hope that the son at age 18 can reach out to the father? or will he be so brainwashed about his "bad" father that he won't even want to reach out?
Hopefully the first will happen and they will build a relationship in adulthood. It has happened in many such cases, although not all. And of course a relationship built in adulthood is quite different...
I know Eli, his parents and amazing sister. I know his ex wife too. I didnt think he had a kid with her but ok..... He comes from stolin family and im pretty sure they are pretty opened about this....im shocked they dont allow him to see the kid. Very strange
Sad to think that where not laws allowing to se his child.
Why so much litter on the ground?
There was an event in the courtyard there that day. I think the kids just made a mess.
That is simply horrible.
Yes, very heartbreaking.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn I'm Israeli. I hear how chassidim can play tricks, etc and do what they can to prohibit him from seeing his own child. But, seriously, if he had a good attorney, with help from the authorities (i.e. police), he can have access to his son. This is just disgusting.
Eli makes a mistake in thinking that the religious court chose his wife over him for custody because the court favors the mother.
Basically his wife accused him of being irreligious, of lacking devotion. The religious court is always going to favor the religious parent over the irreligious parent.
I'm sure listening to the radio wasn't the only foundation for her accusations.
Im surprised the rabbinical court let her get divorced and keep the child
It's a very common arrangement when the mother stays in the community.
It's a pity that the bible doesn't say Thou shalt not litter.
The littering in many Hasidic neighborhoods is awful!
Thats horrible
You didn't have to go all the way OTD you could have become Modern Orthodox or something like me basically chasidish as far as eating & customs but modern when it comes things like radio,smart phones,computers,TV & movies & dance a to a drum of your own beat while keeping what it is actually halachically mandated & not taking on the chumra of the day!!
Can someone please help me?
Watching this I get the impression that both Ms Vizel and Mr. Benedict are really attached to their respective children.
That is verry dificult to understand.
Let them (children) eat rocks! the saying goes.
In short that does not mean they eat actual rocks, rather means: can't someone else feed those disgusting children?
(see Umar ben Alkahtab and the hungry woman for the full story)
Also why would Hashem have such a set of creative punnishments for childless couples?
I can only conclude that healthy parents don't want children.
But this video seems to contradict a fundamental axiom of how the world works.
Eiter that or both Mr. Benedict, and M.S vizel are defective, like my mum.
Luckely there is a treatment for it, my mum gets treated for her defectiveness.
Wtf is wrong with you??
That’s a disgusting thing to say - what is wrong with you? You must have a miserable life.
So sad! It seems you Never understood Torah and it's mystical teachings at all. 😢
Jesus is the only way to heaven. Such a specific statement may confuse, surprise, and even offend, but it is true nonetheless. The Bible teaches that there is no other way of salvation through Jesus Christ. Jesus himself says in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." No one can come to the Father except through me.” This is not a way as in one of many ways, except through Jesus, to God the Father.
Jesus is the only way to heaven for a number of reasons. Jesus was "chosen by God" to be the Savior (1 Peter 2:4). Jesus is the only one who descended from heaven and returned there (John 3:13). He is the only one who has lived a perfect human life (Hebrews 4:15). He is the only sacrifice for sin (1 John 2:2; Hebrews 10:26). He alone kept the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17). He is the only one who has conquered death forever (Hebrews 2:14-15). He is the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). He is the only human being "glorified" by God. . . in the highest place" (Philippians 2:9).
In many places, except John 14:6, Jesus spoke of himself as the only way to heaven. He presented himself as an object of faith in Matthew 7:21-27. He said his words were life (John 6:63). He promised that those who believe in him will have eternal life (John 3:14-15). It is the gate of the sheep (John 10:7); the bread of life (John 6:35); and the resurrection (John 11:25). No one else can rightfully claim these titles.
The apostles' preaching focused on the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Speaking to the Sanhedrin, Peter openly proclaimed Jesus as the only way to heaven: "There is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must save" (Acts 4:12). . Speaking at the Antioch synagogue, Paul stressed that Jesus was the Savior: "I want you to know that the forgiveness of sins has been made known to you through Jesus. Through him all who believe are freed from all sin" (Acts 13:38-39) John, writing to the church in general, states that our forgiveness is states the name of Christ as its foundation: "Dear children, I am writing to you because your sins are forgiven for His name" (1 John 2:12). ... No one can forgive sin but Jesus.
Eternal life in heaven is possible only through Christ. Jesus prayed: "And this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent" (John 17:3). To receive God's free gift of salvation, we must look only to Jesus and Jesus. We must believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross as the payment for our sin. "This righteousness from God comes to all who believe in Jesus Christ" (Romans 3:22).
At some point in Jesus' ministry, most of the crowd turned their backs on him and left, hoping to find another savior. Jesus said to the Twelve, "Do you want to go too?" asked. (John 6:67, NIV). Peter's answer is absolutely correct: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life, and we believed and understood that you are the Holy One of God” (John 6:68-69, NIV). We all share Peter's belief that eternal life is only in Jesus Christ.
Have you made a decision for Christ because of what you have read here?
What a coward of a father. He took the easy way out for his first child. Complete shame.
Lashon hara ring a bell for you?
he didn't have a choice
No he didnt.. he cant fight, they have too much power and money. He'll lose no matter what

Eli gets these comments every time he speaks about being estranged from his son. But the truth is, it's extremely difficult in the frum world to re-enter a child's life if you didn't fight for the relationship or get access right while leaving. It's so easy to judge, but so hard to understand the dynamics that make this so difficult.
Excellent!
