This eye-opening documentary series was filmed with remarkable access to the hidden world of one Orthodox community in Manchester, U.K.
How do people live their everyday lives with so many traditional rules ?
This film focuses on the rules for kosher food. Why are there two sinks and two fridges in all Jewish kitchens? What makes food kosher? What is involved in Kosher slaughter ? We are given unique access to the work of a team of Kosher Slaughterers .They believe that this is an instant and humane method of killing animals for food.

I worked in Monsey ,NY for many years ,for Jewish clients. During that time a Rabbi told me alot of religious customs were actually put in place to keep people healthier, and avoid disease. The washing of hands, not eating certain meats known to cause illness, even circumcision.
Yes, washing hands is common sense but tell me what we purposely eat to cause illness (apart from tobacco and alcohol which aren’t food anyway)
What diseases does circumcision prevent. That old saw about uterine cancer has been disproven. It is as common in Israel as everywhere else. @@hanric2000
a lot of rules in religion that restricts what you can eat etc are more likely traced to a way to separate people than anything else. as in if you make it hard for jewish people to spend time with non-jewish people due to various rules in their day to day life that makes it harder to hang out with an outsider means that their leaders have an easier time to control them, even more so if you want to start wars against others.
this isnt specifically jewish btw, all religions and most cultures have aspects of this. however religions ofc prefer to rewrite it as "it was about [positive reasons]" but in reality the more likely explanation was that it was for negative reasons.
The Rabbi was merely conjecturing. We don't know why G-d put these laws into place.
A truly rare non-Jewish documentary of Ultra-Orthodox Jews that is well-researched, interesting, highly accurate and well-rounded, and is done in a respectful (rather than derogatory "what a bunch of odd people") manner. Kudos and thanks.
Thank you. I appreciate your comments. very much.
@@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES As an Ultra-Orthodox pulpit rabbi, I am usually disgusted by these videos, which typically seek to denigrate the Ultra-Orthodox, either by focusing on minor customs that will seem pointless and extreme to the non-religious, or by distorting central aspects of Ultra-Orthodox life in an effort to make them seem ancient and primitive, such as their descriptions of marital life as loveless -- or even worse, as denigrating to women, when in actuality it treats women with far more respect than the non-secular world, where a present-day wife is depicted as nothing more than an object meant to satisfy man's base desires if you look at any advertisement or study any Freudian-based theories of human nature and relations. So I felt obligated to point out to potential viewers that this long 3-part series has earned the right to take up 2 hours of their time, by making it both informative and interesting viewing.
I worked for a factory that made granola bars and the management would always shit their pants when the Rabi pulled up. Never failed while I was there but they failed the inspection once and had to recall all the product since the last visit for improper labeling. Cost them millions
My Italian-American Catholic mother would not use an egg that had a red spot. It turns out our mitochondria is Sephardic.
There's a video on RUclips showing they did lab testing to prove it is IMPOSSIBLE to remove all of the "blood" from meat, therefore in order for the meat to be Kosher, it is more the act of proper slaughter and best efforts to remove as much as possible that makes it so.
What I cannot understand, and hopefully someone can explain it to me, but even if the blood is drained away by slaughtering the animal in a kosher manner, there is still blood left in the meat. For example, in a steak. A steak still has blood in it.
the red in steak is myoglobin, not blood
@@CookieCrumbzz25 Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know that. I thought it was blood. 👍🏻
Isn’t there still some residue of red blood cells still in any meat?
Why eat meat Al all if so gross to them?
Wonder if much was lost in translation
You can never get rid of all the blood in a piece of meat.
I think the reason they don't have a hell in their religion is because there's so many rules that would be impossible not to go to hell. So many rules.
i absolutely love jewish people , i am not a jewish unfortunately , but i will never understand these guys , all these laws and strict life , unbelievable . But if they i happy its ok
I’ve nothing against any peaceful religion but I’m so glad that I don’t follow any religion. I wonder just how many people have been killed in the name of religion..Lead a decent respectable life and leave religion alone, I’m sure that would make for a more peaceful world.
What does that leather armband mean,? I've always wondered about that.
As a non Jewis person I really enjoy watchung this program learned a lot...
try reading a talmud
Thank God for Paul
I don't put the challa in the trash after the blessing, I usually burn it first.
Would like a kosher shop in Wales cardiff there is none where I live
This was a fascinating documentary, I must say. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
My pleasure!
@@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES 👍🏻 Again, thank you. It was super informative.
If someone wants to follow any particular religion , then as long as it doesn't impact on my life , we can live quite happily side by side in the world .
The only times it annoys me , if if someone approached me , with a desire to convert me to any given church . It's bugs the hell out of me when someone with a PA sets up in my local town centre , and starts shouting about God . Normally when I'm sat outside a coffee shop , trying to enjoy a peaceful Sunday morning .
If a busker sets up their moved on , if someone is quoting a commandment , then the police don't want to be seen to be heavy handed .
If I want to find religion , then I'll actively search it out . Until then keep the sermon inside the church .
Well sir with all do respect, when i see a man walking on the train tracks and I know the train is coming because i see it coming and I know he will be surely die, would it be right for me to walk on by and not disturb his Sunday morning walk?
God commands me not to walk on by and love that man enough to warn him of what’s coming and let him know how he can be saved. Mark 16:15 …and then He told them “ go into all the world and preach the good news to everyone”
Also with all do respect know that you have a very short time to take heed that warning. The train is almost here, not early, not late, but just on time. I’m sure you’ve noticed what’s happening in this world.
That's how I feel about being forced to learn about the theory of evolution in school as if it's science. At least you can ignore or walk away from people in public, nobody is forcing it on you, and they can exercise free speech (bullhorn is ridiculous though). But in the government school system we are forced to learn about the evolution fairytale, and pass tests on the subject. Complete nonsense.
@@ReapingTheHarvestEvolution is fact not fiction.

After watching this program many years ago I decided to keep Kosher. Years later I bumped into Rabbi Kaye and his wife and thanked him. He was surprised people still remembered him.
Interesting. A Shepharidic Orthodox woman said they are permitted to eat locusts but no other insect.
Yemenites have a tradition of certain locusts.
A Jew caught up in rituals, beliefs, customs, all of the things they can and cannot put into their bodies, etc... and yet smokes. Do they not believe their body to be a temple of God? Is that not blasphemous?
Fascinating. I enjoyed this very much. But I do think these people are in a cult and completely insane. It’s full-time employment for people with OCD.
Every religion has their own BS so Judaism has theirs but it doesn't effect non-Jews.
Ohhhh, a whole insect is the problem. That's good because most grains have insect parts in them. It's almost impossible to harvest grains with no insects at all.
Not to mention the little buggers shed their shells periodically, plus they lose bits of legs etc.
This is straining the gnat and swallowing the camel.
Thank goodness that you have such control......
Imagine creating a word that both means lawful and healthy.
Lawful, healthy, and also means ethical.
Maybe I have never found a Jewish husband because I am single and I cover my head for modesty. If a man is only interested in me because of my hair or my beauty, then he is not the man for. I deserve someone who is willing to look much deeper, and find me attractive first because I am set apart. I follow Torah, but not tradition.
A demanding way of life, which one can respect. Just thankful the whole world doesn't have to follow these rules, would make life very complicated! 😅
Absolutely fascinating
What a wonderful documentary. 😊
While it's admirable that these Orthodox Jews maintain this lifestyle, clearly the secular modern world could not function as such. So, one wonders if we, the "others" are unclean, lesser creatures. It's admirable that this community manages to function as an enclave and "outsiders" are allowed in, e.g. I could walk into that bakery and buy a challah. This is not to say that they would be welcome, e.g. participating in or observing a ceremony or service.
There are 7 Noahide Laws for "others" read them, no one needs to Jewish to be "clean" it all up to the individual. You made the Ghetto Laws and now you want to come in and part take?
@@eliedecastro5716
What ghetto are you talking about?
@@eliedecastro5716part take?! 🤔😶
great documentary
Thank you for that !
I don't know why, but I think it's hilarious that Sanjeev Bhaskar is narrating.
Im a Catholic. This is a great education for non Jews
8:20 I suppose John the baptist had quite a challenge at hand regarding his dietary habits
John was from the Priestly class as his father Zechariah and mother descended from Aaron. John was foretold to come by the Angel Gabriel as the prophet who would be the forerunner of the Messiah . He only ate locusts and wild honey because he was a prophet who came in the manner of Elijah. Much more than dietary habits of these Jews.
Must be hard to slaughter in the Name of God.They take so much effort to do the right thing and SHOULD BE ADMIRED.Not an easy life by any means.
MUCH RESPECT TO THE JEWS.SUCH STRONG PEOPLE
My father used work in Slaughter house but he had a special licence to Slaughter cows for the jews 😊😊
I wonder what the Orthodox would be like if they though God loved them, and they didn't need to live in fear of every imaginable transgression.
I mean, how can eating off the wrong plate injure God and why would God injure me for doing it?
None of this makes sense, which is why I'm an Atheist these days.
I've worked with these kosher inspectors before, and it's just a silly formality. Money is involved too.
Did you expect them to work for free? They're providing a service to the community.
"water is a sign of purity". No one has ever gotten sick from water.
life is dependent on water, water is pure in itself, pollutants are cause of illness not the water, and water is a purifier it is used for washing, and the purity referred to is spiritual, ritually pure.
Lol what about the rivers in India mmmm.
Have you heard of Cholera?
Which is a pollutant in the water..?
Try drinking sea water and tell me how you feel lol
This is so so fascinating, the time spent to care for the animals and keep the area clean,I want to eat just kosher food..
the fact is that it is forbidden to eat meat as per the laws of the Torah. look up Asa Keisar.
@@justgreen4298 ok,thanks
But the baker Rabbi wears the same apron in and out of the bakeries and car. That would fail a local safety inspection in most places in the states. Talk about cross-contamination. 🤢
@10:32 since he brought a dehydrated food while staying in a non-kosher hotel does he carry his own water kettle ? So many specific rules I would be scared to eat anywhere but my own home.
Every hotel I’ve been to in the UK has a kettle in the room
@@extrude22Yeah but has that kettle been submerged in water😂
John the Baptist ate insects and honey?
He ate locusts and honey
Fascinating
do bacteria count as insects? there are lots of insects which we cant see with naked eye. So it is very hard thing to have an insect free food. Yoghurt is full of bacterias.
No. Bacteria are not insects.
No, bacteria are a taxa (class of species) of their own, completely distinct from insects
At 34:25 the man separated Challah from the dough and then put it into the trash. This is a terrible mistake. The prevailing custom since the "preists" cannot eat in our day age with proper purity, is to burn the challah dough in a fire.
It's the custom of a woman baking bread at home to take a piece of the dough and burn it. I don't understand why he doesn't burn it.
I remember when I was working for Jewish people in Cheetam Hill many years ago and most of them enjoyed a bacon butty on a Sunday morning
So the rabbis is saying he's a hypocrite for listening to music?
LOL...There is no Jewish Law that says one can't listen to music, some very strict Jews made up that RULE but it's not a LAW.
So they have standards 😮
God Bless you 😮
I wish there was more than three episodes I love it!!
Always enjoy these John. Thank you!
Thanks Neal
Really interesting
Glad you think so!
I love they care about food safety. I don’t think I can be Jewish. Don’t seem to be enough hours in a day for them.
Dip an electric tea kettle in water? Oh lord... 3:00
I know right Hahaha
Rav Berger and Brody both sadly passed away. Both were great men and very wise.
My impression too. They were unusually open and friendly to those of us who were making these documentaries.
@@JOHNEDGINTONDOCUMENTARIES I knew them personaly, Rabbi Kay is still alive. Half of the rabbis and familys featured are from the Chabad Lubavich Hasidic sect who are open and welcoming. Rabbi Kay and a couple of others. Rabbi Brody and Diane (main rabbi of a bais din) Berger were not.
I had Rabbi Berger banging on a table shouting at me many years ago. 🤣🤣
i used to live in this area. its was totally mellow.
I suppose the whole 'insect' thing makes sense. If it is whole it could live inside you and cause desies. I don't know anything about Koshe, but I have heard that food rules tend to make sense when thinking about health. Especially health in a hot desert with no refrigeration and no modern medicine.
Read your bible. They're allowed to eat locusts.
Such a serious intense , almost extremist. Rules & beliefs. No thank You, just be kind & a good soul ❤
Not my cup of tea either my friend. We are all children of the Universe and, no less than the trees and the stars, have a right to be here [ as per The Desiderata].
This is a great documentary.
Thank you. Much appreciated !
I’m a Christian, raised by Christian parents. My dad often slaughtered our meat. And he abided by similar rules. Especially about the blade being properly sharp to make it very quick, and the meat had to be bled properly.
Thats hands down the least cruel approach to butchering (without using modern techniques like electric shock) if you think about it, back when this law was written this had to be as progressive as one could be
@@keller_ Electrocuting the animal causes blood to congeal, making it less hygienic because it can easily harbour bacteria. Halal and kosher slaughter of animals also affects the quality of the meat, making it more tender.
It’s now recognised amongst many Muslims that stunning an animal before slaughter is kinder for it.
I haven’t eaten meat since I was a child. I saw sheep being slaughtered during Eid al Adha and I was horrendously traumatised.
I respect kosher and halal slaughter because they are part of our faith, however I couldn’t ever bring myself to eat meat. Animals are sentient beings, just like us. They feel fear, anxiety etc and I’ve no doubt that they sense their fate in an abattoir.
Seems very ritualistic to me.
A lot of this seems like sound food safety rules. Some seems a bit more esoteric.
how about a law that when cooking food or being in a kitchen where food is cooked, you put a mask all around your hair and beard so that you do not contaminate the food with your beard hairs and your head or beard dandruff....that would be a nice law!
Good question. Why don't you ask G-d why He didn't include it in the Torah?
In restaurants and commercial food services they do
I really appreciate this remarkable insight into the culture and kosher practice for better understanding.
Thank you for sharing your appreciation
I see these docs as a gift and I am very grateful. 👍
That's much appreciated !
Kosher food is better health, I am not a Jew, but in the Letter of LEVITICUS/BEMIDBAR helped me to understand what Elohim say to me.
תודה רבה לך מישראל,אח שלי עובד שם ,משגיח כשרות...l am from Israel 🇮🇱 and is nice to see as a religious woman.thank you🎉
I find religion weird. Im talking about being spiritual and believing in God, but the individual religions. There are so many. Each has there own rules and regulations to follow. You CAN be spiritual and follow God, without being affiliated to any particular religion. I find religious groups to be money-hungry.
Wow....staggered great knowledge ❤
Thanks for your appreciation!
Thank you !
I lived in Gants Hill London it was a well know jewis community but they were the most lovey people ever I used to love going to there bakery very lovely people bless them all
Thank you 😊 blessings 🙏.
All that is "done" with love is kosher...
How about that Schlomo?
✔️
Such a hard yoke and a heavy burden.
This is why Paul said ( "fugetaboutit" he was from Brooklyn) you don't have to do anything just have faith LOL
Rabbi Kay , so keen to meet his maker from the way that he is driving !
😮😂
Then why would God give us free will?
Free will is required by God's justice otherwise Man would not be given or denied good for actions over which he had no control.
I don’t find the hallow: meditation and prayer advert RUclips showed me before this video a coincidence 😅
As a Lebanese Muslim living in the UK, I can say that there is so much that we have in common with the Jews. It is a way of life for both of us.
We eat halal which in the same diet as kosher, but we are forbidden from alcohol consumption.
I wish we could bridge the gap and embrace our similarities rather than have conflict.
My grandfather’s wife was Palestinian but had to flee to Lebanon. I have no issue with Jews, we are both Semitic but Zionism is where we clash.
I loved all of your videos. So much of Jewish law I already knew as I came to the UK in the 80’s and lived in a predominantly Jewish community. My post graduate friends were all Jewish and my mentor was a very sweet Jewish consultant who’s wife frequently invited me to family celebrations . They practiced their faith but weren’t ultra orthodox.
Thank you so much for sharing these videos with us.
Yes tyere is the rub ! Zionism. A rogue political regime which used terrorists and terror to achieve its political goals.
But their clothes aren't from the olden days....
How long a space of time between eating meat and eating dairy
I agree about the similarities between the Muslim and Jewish faiths. I live in a predominantly Lebanese Muslim suburb of Sydney in Australia and one of my best friends is an Isreali Jew. One of the first things I noticed when I started to get to know my friend, was in fact how similar many practices are between the two faiths.
no disrespect towards anyone but these are white Eastern European jews, they are not from middle east.
This is very old now, I knew a couple of these guys. A couple gave sadly passed away.
I am very jaloux of the tight community. I feel that I live alone on an island together with my husband and two kids surrounded by loads of people that I have absolutely nothing in common with. I just wonder. Does all those rules leave room for personality?
Of course.
I don’t mind if people want to eat like this, and it seems in sone cases the food is better quality than the non kosher stuff. I do find it hard to imagine a god who is concerned with such minute details. Make it a man made idea if you will but I’m not sure a god minds what and how you eat.
As Jesus said"It's not what goes into your mouth, it's what comes out of it...
So many precautions about their food, but they smoke and drink Diet Coke?
Kosher has NOTHING to do with health.
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were communicating with Hashem, were they obligated to these laws?
G'd said in the Torah that Abraham did, but you have to know Torah in order to see it
@@eliedecastro5716 1. BEFORE Sinai, where did G-d SPECIFICALLY command Adam, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah, Abraham, Isaac , and Jacob, to keep the Sabbath? 2. Who was more connected to G-d, Moses or Adam? Only one Commandment for Adam: don't eat from the Tree of Knowledge. 3. Even though G-d rested on the 7th day, did He command Adam to rest on the 7th day, too? Even when G-d kicked Adam out of the Garden of Eden, He still didn't command Adam to keep the Sabbath. 4. G-d said that Enoch, Noah, and Abraham, are righteous (ALL the aforementioned are righteous, too), even though they didn't keep the Sabbath. 5. G-d commanded no one to keep the Sabbath until Sinai.
The mixed heard thing was a silly question hoarses or buffalo could easily be kept with cows without thinking.
Thanks from NYC
I think the rules allow them to live with stability mostly. I know it's not perfect but the community can moderate some of the issues people have. I just like some of it, and not other parts, like the need to not mingle with others, at least not socially, and the stories about not reading books other than the "allowed" books. But, I think I'd rather have a Jewish family next door than most other possibilities.
So many loopholes and arbitrary laws to follow. How exhausting.
Religion is so stupid.
So don't worry about it
That kosher haddock looks really delicious 🤩
next visit to the UK - hope to visit the bakery
7:54 some one from stateside
please do a video - there is already an attempt by some to convince hallal meat is equal to kosher meat.
We Muslims can eat Kosher food, but halal is not to the same strict standards to make it acceptable to our Jewish brothers and sisters. We are all people of the book and have far more that unites us than divides us. In my own experience it's usually those with no religion who look for points of difference and potential conflict.
What is that cube which looks like a miner's torch dressed on the head?
Time stamp?
Is it possible your referring to teffillen ?
I'm curious to know if there is a lot of food waste? It's ashame that it can't be given to those who really need food, whether in the community or even outsiders. Just curious as I am not Jewish but love seeing the way of life for them!
i found that a lot of things belonged to jewish orthodox are very common with muslism religion which is very odd !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I swear I remember reading that the animal is supposed to be given wine before its sloter
LOL...Where did you hear such BS???
It's very interesting to see how customs most people would see as quaint or slightly ridiculous, have such a profound impact on the devout. I respect their commitment.
Devout? Another word for brainwashed or controlled!!
Sadly for them, much/most/all of these conforming procedures are-in my humble opinion-solemn nonsense.
This is a great education for non Jews
For Jews too! Not all of us are this “intense.”
I agree with you 100 percent. I'm Catholic
Interesting (to say the least)
Love to learn about other cultures, religions, ways of living / life - glad this came up on my recommended feed
Without religions, the world would have been a lot better place.
Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin Chairman Mao.. shall I continue the list of great leaders who's lack of religion obviously helped them make the world a better place 🥱 try something original.
That's what Hitler, Stalin and Mao thought.

How do you wash systematic pesticides out of fruit and vegetables?
I'm a curious atheist and find this fascinating. It's ancient history kept alive. Great stuff 👍
I had a question about John the Baptist's diet. I read in Leviticus that locusts are Kosher.
Only certain species of locusts are kosher; unfortunately, there's not a great deal of clarity on which species specifically were allowed, and because of an inability to identify kosher vs trief locusts, most all Jews will refrain from eating *any* locusts. There is an exception, however, amongst Yemeni Jews.
Thou shalt not eat insects (except certain type of locust, but I won't tell you which ones. Good luck guessing clay people)
John the Baptist had a non Jewish friend who just happened to have some diced locust to share.
Buffalo IS kosher.

The dunking of the kettle slightly concerning 😊
Yeah there's a basic model of kettle, I bought one under the name "KuHaus" from my local H Mart but I've seen the same kettle under a number names. Cheap, simple, reliable, and loads better than those plastic-fantastics with "smart" features. I bet the guy paid way too much for that kettle. As for the dunk in the mikvah, hey why not?
