- You don't always find Jews and mobsters in the same vicinity.
86-year-old Myron Sugarman shares his fascinating story of being "The Last Jewish Gangster" and the valuable life lessons he gained from his unconventional upbringing by a mobster.
From tackling antisemitism to Jewish education, strength, and pride, Myron imparts an empowering and relevant message to young Jews today -- "being right without might isn't enough."

Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Myron's story.
My grandfather was one of those Jewish boxers in the 1920s. He was an undefeated Golden Gloves champion. He was about to turn pro when his mother found out what he was doing. She forbade him to fight and he listened. So his dreams were killed and he never boxed again.
No he wasn't.
I've met him a number of times. Father of a dear former neighbor.
You are blessed to have such a neighbor, the wisdom of these people and generation is passing away... GOD have mercy on USA.
Why didn't you have these opportunities?@@lornestyles7048
In the theological sense, pride is defined as an excessive love of one's own excellence. As a deadly sin, pride is believed to generate other sins and further immoral behaviour and is countered by the heavenly virtue of humility.
@@lornestyles7048 everyone has elders, it's not new
This was fantastic....really shed light on my fathers experience ...he grew up at the same time and had similar experiences....he died young so this was very helpful in my understanding him...thanks
I am 69 years old, the world only Okinawan- Jew, my Uncle served in WW2 and liberated Jews in Dauch I did my DNA and found out my Mom's side is Jewish, for 6000 years has been Buddha Heads, I have been studying Hebrew 27 years.I am Rabbi Shlomo Miyagi.
Shalom Rabbi Shlomo! from California!!! My father, a Reform Rabbi, ordained the first Japanese rabbi in about 1968 or so...wonder if you know the man, well he would be in his 80s now...He came to our house for Shabbat and there ws a ceremony at our synagogue; his wife wore a kimono if i recall. Pretty sure the were Gerim (converts)...
Awesome!!..You can be proud the Japanese very honorable people, great combination
❤ thank you for sharing
Wow, it’s so amazing to hear Jews not being afraid of not being a wimp. I just love it.
Yeah their usual constant whining and victimhood is awful isn't it...
We support Jews fighting for their own cause and not asking us to pay for everything.
@@WSmith_1984 Stop talking anti-Semitic hate. You're disgusting.
I've never met a Jewish wimp. Only badasses!
@@WSmith_1984what are you trying to say? That nobody uses historical references as a way to justify and inflict nefarious intentions?
Oct.7 was Israel 9/11. Have some perspective my friend.
I ❤ this channel so much. The only channel I like as much is UNPACKED. I am learning so much that my parents couldn’t teach me because they worked so much.
Eze neshama!! Thank you for sharing this
what a highly valuable interview. thank you.
Educate yourself. The great Jew Expert Norman Finklestein!
Fabulous!! And very timely.
Great Interview and Great Man.
He is 100% right you got to be tough as a jew orherwise the gentiles will trample you down
How about those gentikescwhich transformed American rekationscwith Israel visa vie the Alliance between Jewsc. and Evangelicals
Yes, indeed. Mothers teach their Jewish sons to be “ fruchte Yids”. Need to overcome it
Jews are good at everything Even being the best gangsters
Exactly
No, bad gentiles will trample you down. There are a lot of good gentiles, otherwise Jews would not have thrived in the US and Britain and elsewhere. Shalom.
Thank you for your support of Israel.
Yakub Israel (on whom be abundant peace) does not need support of East Europeans. GOD is sufficient!
Educate yourself. The great Jew Expert Norman Finklestein!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING
God bless this man. He’s from a generation when American Jews had common sense. MAGA2024🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇱
@spencermorris5873 antisemitic statement.
AMEN!!!!
Amen!
It was a lost generation in terms of Jewish knowledge and faith as he describes.
However, they were proud members of the Jewish nation, the people of Israel.
Even in the underworld, the Jewish guys were so much more educated than us Italians. Just listen to how eloquent this man is in his description of the Jewish mob. My hat is off to you Mr. Sugarman.
And so your next 34 years should be strong and powerful and you should accomplish all that you desire
Thank you , What a amazing, interesting and wonderful testimony of his life. Thank you for sharing.
An interesting NJ tough-guy.
Why oral history interviews are important.
He's not tough. And he's a sick Zionist!
Please let me know the name of his organization and the name of his book. 86 and he is still going strong. He is inspiring!
Thanks for your story and honesty 🙏🏽
Interesting. Thanks for bringing a different kind of lecture.
"Right without might is useless". Wisdom of Solomon. Excellent job!!
Enjoyed the interview! Would like to hear more.
This man is a hero and so are all Jews who fight back Antisemitism
Every time you appear on RUclips I listen with pride every word you say.
One time some Antisemitic kid called me a racist for praising your stories.
I grew up in the Bronx back in the 70's and confronted tons of Antisemitism. In 1980 my family made Aliyah. The best decision ever! Years ago I heard about the chance of another Holocaust in the US and things look like it's going that way.
I hope one day to have the honor of meeting you.
Tonight is Seder Night here in Israel and there are still 133 hostages in Gaza.
What's left is to wish you and your family a Chag Sameach.
I never thought of Jews as anything but tough. Small usually, but they just never give up.
3,000 years ago the Jews were warriors, invinceable. But great empires emerged which invaded and conquered Israel multiple times. But since 1948 the reconstituted State of Israel is a warrior nation, invinceable.
Amen, GOD bless Israel! Praying they turn to Jesus Christ soon..
@@lornestyles7048really? don’t hold your breath on that 😂 thank you for supporting us but suggesting we “turn to Jesus” is suggesting that we not be Jews.
Sorry I'm not trying to insult you, Jesus Christ fulfilled the prophecies for the Messiah from Genesis - Malachi..
You are loved by God. I'm a gentile but I've been adopted by your Messiah.
@@lornestyles7048Do you also frequent Islamic content to tell viewers to join your JC fan club? Do you ever see Jews on Xtian content calling on Xtians to join Judaism? I can assure you both are not the case. So why are you this rude? Why can’t you keep your JC nonsense to yourself? Your idolatry and proselytizing are no signs of kindness. Rude to say the least.
@@lornestyles7048 Just imagine if Judaism were a proselytizing religion with as many missionizing Jews as there are evangelical Xtians, constantly inserting themselves into the comments sections of Xtian websites, RUclips vids, etc. telling you how much they love you and are praying that you see the light … or alternately, telling you that you’re going to spend eternity burning in hell for having the wrong beliefs. Do you think you’d be insulted by this, especially after 2000 years of it? I’m not sure, maybe at first. But I think after a while you’d just be rolling your eyes, thinking “can’t these people control themselves, especially when we keep telling them just go away and bother someone else.” Personally, I’m not insulted by it, I just think it’s pathetically immature behaviour, like that of a child who can’t control himself and keeps bothering his parents for something he’s been told repeatedly they’re not going to buy him.
It seems to me the biggest opposition to this obvious line of reasoning is the left leaning American Jew and to all's endangerment.
this is fascinating and a great distraction from all the heavy and disturbing news from Israel!
Educate yourself. The great Jew Expert Norman Finklestein!
Wonderful interview and share! Thank you!
I love it , I’m very proud of him
100% Correct. Jewish kid are all well educated, however, they are not thought to be tough and stand up for themselves.
They are standing up for themselves in Israel, never again 🇮🇱💙🇮🇱
Amen to the mobster! More power to him in his latest task of empowering Jewish youth!
Stay strong!
Very impressive gentleman.. the health,the thinking, the strength, the vision…❤
From the river to the sea, the Jewish land of milk and honey.
From the sea to the river we must all eat chopped liver!!
I`m American of Irish decent and simply can`t understand antisemitism. Sixty years ago I grew up in a town were the population was atleast one third of the population was Jewish. I found the Jewish for the most part to be very good people. There was (like with the asians) a great emphasis put on education. The Jewish are high achievers for this reason. It might just be my luck but I meet and have known alot of very good and nice people who are Jewish.
God gave it to the jews
@@zackymaky27 ❤
It's the holy land to 4.5 BILLION Christians and Muslims - half the world population. Not just a few million Jews who turned it into the Killing Land. Your racist belief is killing people.
@@Justadisciple502🤡
Educate yourself. The great Jew Expert Norman Finklestein!
Very interesting and cool❤
that is a great interview! is there a longer video of his?
On this subject, I heartily recommend a track I discovered by accident (it appeared in my 'recommended' feed) by a British band called UNIT. The track is A Tribute To The Israeli Defence Force and it is excellent - tuneful and forceful without being bombastic combined with a lovely lyric. I know next to nothing about the group but on investigation I see they've recorded a whole batch of Jewish related tracks such as Pesach, Yom Kippur, Bar Mitzvah, Israel Is Real, The 613 Mitzvot and probably others I don’t know about yet. Some of them feature Rabbi Moshe Bryski which is definitely a recommendation in itself.
Can’t find them when looking up in a few different ways. Are they a newer band or from the past?
I have the same feeling about being Jewish - unfortunately I am not a gangster) especially appreciated - ‘mezuzah kissing kids ‘ gold !
At 5:11 mentioning Lagos, Nigeria.
That's my kaboosh 😂
Besides Myron, there are many Jews who really do understand what it means to be pragmatic and when and where to stand on the good and bad sides.
Your flowers 🎉 Myron.
Good one
Much love from Israel ❤❤❤
Yehud Baba,
You did good. A non Theological & social approach to solving problems related to Jewish community - that is the way to go. In your legal interactions & transactions with people of all backgrounds - there is the answer from a Jewish perspective.
I would call your views & approach as a social approach as per Reform Judaism.
There are very good outreach type programs today for Jews especially in educational field - but the problem is the sheer mass of anti Semitic leaderships & movements in the world. Even among University students & staff there are political lines dividing everyone - the Campus protests are a good example.
🖖🇮🇳
Loves this, thank you Pop!❤
Fascinating!
I’m ordering your book today!
It is so interesting how similar and widely lived his experience with Hebrew school is. Just to the age of Bar Mitzvah. I know this is the minimum in Judaism. Just fascinating that some can relate to this guy generations later.
Imagine Lakewood, NJ without any Shul!
This sounds a lot like my late father's,A"H story only both he & I ended up in the JDL & I later in Lubavitch
I love this man... a Jew after my own family and heart.

I have powers of persuasion.
I bet you do.
I like this guy!
Well since your back in the day of holding off what no one else would do, apparently the problem resurfaced and blazes out of control once again. But you are old now and although many things in life have separated our understanding of one another, to seek God about what all this is all about to me is the ultimate and only quest left dignified enough to take. So although a lot of your peoples ways were lost in cultural antiquity, your heart can find the way still. If you let it. A prayer for you old man.
United Empowerment we Stand 💪🏼 How can we join the organization? Great Person … We need to be strong. Viva Israel - Viva Jewish Life - Let‘s stand up against the Antisemitism ✌🏼💪🏼🙌

Interesting persona. We need more of his type in our communities. It’s sad to see how soft and defenseless diaspora Jews have become, especially in religious communities where yeshivas produce weak and helpless young men.
Great story
Scriptures state "not by power,not by might but by my spirit,says the Lord". Also said that an army cannot keep a king safe. A king cannot rely on a horse, through all it's power, to protect him.
He admitted to join the organised crime for a lack of education and knowledge of the Torah. Sending his son to the Yeshivah reveal that he comprised that ignorance is very dangerous and making so his son will be saved from the tentacles of the underworld.
Proper Studies are Lifesaving
👑👑👑👑
God bless him...
I understand and respect your life and experience and I never whatsoever can judge you
But remember being Jew is being kosher dedicated our life to be better every day
Your life prepare your soul to be great
Shalom

In the theological sense, pride is defined as an excessive love of one's own excellence. As a deadly sin, pride is believed to generate other sins and further immoral behaviour and is countered by the heavenly virtue of humility.
Every single time
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Luke 5:32
The last one, I doubt it. Now they’re on places like Wall St.
The difference between the Jewish gangsters and the Italian gangsters is the Jewish ones got to pass on their wealth and avoid prison for the most part obviously there’s exceptions
Love this❤ Tony Soprano says Italians are just Jews with better food, lol

I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Sugarman, what a character. Reminds me of the Jewish Gianni Russo.
Just 100 years before Issa Babel wrote collection of stories The King

People look at you differently if you have muscle.
The sharp edge of a razor is difficult to pass over.Thus the wise say the path to Salvation is hard…Is it true that Meyer Lansky, the ´Mob accountant´gave the order to assassinate Oswald by Jack Ruby?
Just started listening a couple of minutes in. In those early years, Rabbi Jacob Joseph traveled from Radin to NY, pleading with the Jews there to build Yeshivas. They just ignored him, thinking that only shuls and day schools were necessary. It wasn't until after his death that they realized he was right. Intermarriages were happening left and right. Jewish pride is worthless without learning Torah.
Baruch Hashem - Blessed be He 🇮🇱 ✡️ 🇮🇱 Thank you for your service to your people sir. May G-d keep bless and protect the godfather.
All Jews should join the IDF just like Israel teenagers.
Non Israelis in the US for example cannot join a foreign army, eg not even the British army.
❤❤❤
Every Jewish Woman in our building baked me 'Their Goodies', cookies with cool name's after they heard I applied to Talmud Torah. I am Jewish, only a little.
My only a little has had enough. Our Father watches and I write.
See you In The Light Brother's and Sister's who believe. This land is your land this land is my land,
From God, Amen
