NO, stop using this tool when it comes to dealing with internal problems or those who point to problems from the outside. STOP IT !!! no one hates you or anyone here ( agree with us or not regardless of faith color or creed). As we wrote before This video (as nice as it is), is nothing but a one-sided PROPAGANDA video used by this cult, no deep research is shown, and no even a word about those who escaped this cult. On a good note, some people here (not many ) are thinking people and see through the rosy picture conveyed.

She seems very real and fulfilled. This is the type of woman we should look up to. Comfortable in her own skin without feeling the need to sexualize herself, she's strong, opinionated, friendly and a true asset to her community.
Where do breediots get the right to impose unnecessary risk, suffering and death, without consent? This question is a “check mate” for every breeding dipshit. Because they must expose themselves to be sadomasochists in order to honestly answer any part of it. Ability doesn’t equal right. Life isn’t necessary. And consent matters. Breeders have no rational or ethical/moral response to any of this. Pro life = pro suffering. It’s all or nothing. The only thing a parent can guarantee their child, is that they’ll suffer and die, pointlessly. If one considers themselves empathetic, it is this fact alone that they must refuse to recognize because they subconsciously know it completely destroys any feelings of entitlement towards procreation.
"It's not about only doing women's jobs. It's not about that. We are so comfortable and so happy to be women." As a Muslim woman, this is the kind of empowerment that I have always felt that people do not see about our community, too!! I love this series and these Hasidic Jewish people. There are so many beautiful ways of life out there and it's nice to see. Thank you!

I love what she says about being a woman. I’ve never understood the diminishing of the value of home making and motherhood. It’s a freaking superpower to grow a new human in your body, and to be a partner in nurturing and growing that unique life as he or she grows.
You’ve done so much for our community Peter, please keep these videos coming. I have watched and liked every one and recently subscribed. Amazing unbiased work!
I'm not gonna lie I recently came across these, I'm from a city in England but I never understood the Jewish culture or mindset and it just absolutely stuns me how confident, kind and happy! So happy! Jews are in there mindset, there belief in god and there mission is all very great, this woman's passion for womanhood etc it's certainly a beautiful thing.
Thanks! I feel like it was meant to be for me to watch this today. I’m a single mom, working from home for a large corporation in the tech industry. I’ve spent a great deal of my life climbing what feels like against the grain within the business world. Especially tech. I’ve felt that I’m opening doors for my own daughter while respecting the women that came before me so that I may have this job now. It’s felt very much like a duty. This vid really brought tears to my eyes! I’ve never considered that just being a woman/mom is enough. Living in the moment. My daughter knows I dislike my job…yeah so what am I teaching her by continuing this lifestyle? Inspiring women like the one in this vid is something we ALL need to see, hear and believe! And btw. I don’t know how long you’ve lived in FL but as a native…welcome. I know a great deal about this state so feel free to reply should you want information. Loved the Amish snowbirds!
Walt Whitman wrote a short poem. "I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of a man." If we think about it, the whole world revolves around and the mother in a beautiful way. The labor a man makes is to invest in the life the woman creates and the home she keeps. Motherhood and housekeeping is one of the most important things there is.
♥ I was a single mom with no outside support. I raised and fed my children working in tech and for that I'm grateful. The resistance from men was pretty much consistent in every environment and definitely felt I was fighting my way uphill. Sad for the businesses and corporations because for the most part, people are playing the art of war instead of investing their energy into doing what's best for the company they are supposed to be supporting. It really affects software design when people can't have a simple, honest meeting of minds with integrity. For my kids, it was rough. Even when I worked at home because the hours were long and I was trying to stay consistently focused. Good money. I don't know how I could have done it differently but I can't say the prolonged political affront didn't take its toll and I can't say that my children didn't miss having parents.
What is it to be a woman? There has to be space to everyone to be what they are. Its ok to be a woman, it's ok to be a 'manly' woman, its ok to be a feminine man etc. I can understand were she is coming from, and im happy she feels so fulfilled with her role, but sadly every woman doesn't have the same experience.
@@alemorrisoncocina5211 Then its up to that woman to define whatever her experience is, but not deviate because of pressure from society, nor allow society to devalue a traditional role as a woman that most embrace, and have no problems with.
I love her sentiment but not all women have the luxury to stay home, remember Hassidim are heavily financially subsidized by their community and/or welfare. In the outside world if your husband is able to foot all the bills, mortgage, insurance, car payments and extra-curricular activities, then by all means stay home.
You are a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes like an angel. who is given excess intelligence, said my god who sends down rainwater that stays in the sky. may god give wealth of gold
@@michaelkelly3221 everyone is battling with our own demons. That’s our life here on earth Judaism teaches us this. Our true self is whole complete and worthy. Our true self is our soul, who wants nothing but to serve G-d Our souls are trapped in these bodies which have needs and demands and wants nothing more than do so things for itself. The spirit of folly comes in and sometimes we fall prey to it Any thing that is a sidestep from serving HaShem comes from an external source… it’s not in us. Or who we really are … And we need to recognize and own up to our mistake and do better tomorrow than we have today. So this statement you made applies to every human (except a tzadik)
I love her so much !! I honestly just had an aha moment where tears filled my eyes when she said that we, as women are enough in itself. I for one exhaust myself emotionally to be more, to surround myself with more. Its honestly draining and anxiety inducing. I've lost a child and divorced within a year. I felt a pull to prove to people that I was a survivor but at the risk of getting myself sick with nerves. I want to thank her for this breath of fresh air and now I'm saying, yes..I am enough !!!
5:40 I lost my mother as a boy, 3 siblings, and she could not be more right. Mom was our glue. We all love each other, but she is what kept the feeling of family. It is hard to describe
This is fantastic. Thank you Malki and everyone in the community for teaching us non-Jews about your beautiful religion and outlook on life. I feel so much more purposeful in life because of this series.
Finally, someone took the time to really get to know the Hasidic community without preconceived judgements. Malke is amazing. So well spoken, articulate, and a fabulous representative of Hasidic women
@@cb.1212 Are you joking? We've had a world where women performed the roles they were 'created' to perform. They couldn't be doctors, scientists. They couldn't vote. I respect every community as long as they willingly allow those individuals who want to be independent be independent without ostracising them.
@CommandoVault why would I ("leftist") be triggered? I'm a woman. I agree, it's awesome. I love it. But I don't believe that my main/only purpose is being a housewife and mother simply due to my sex. I love being a lawyer. I get up every morning and usually love what I do. It seems to be quite rare (when I compare myself to others. Whether stay at home mums or working dads). My lifestyle also is not condoned by many conservative religious communities (at least in my home country). So I say "no, thank you. Not for me personally". But as long as they don't try to infringe on anyone else's freedom? I respect theirs.
@@leonamay8776 I think the person is referring to those “feminists” who feel the constant need to denigrate men. I think all of us can agree that women are amazing and should be treated equally. However this isn’t at the expense of men, or putting men down. Modern feminism has become so toxic. I agree with Malky’s points in the video. That women don’t have to excel at everything just to prove they are capable, however, if you enjoy being a lawyer, kudos to you. I congratulate you on the basis of being an individual, not because you’re a woman
I love the flow of energy between these two women. They accept their differences and find the beauty in it without the need to criticize. They celebrate each other! Totally inspiring. I wish all women could accept each other and not feel compelled to create a mini version of themselves. Malky, HaShem greatly bless you!
It’s very very important for ladies to be able to get along with each other and work well together without issues. Men need to make stronger efforts to ensure that ladies are getting along and interacting well with each other.
I'm Jewish but I've learned so much about the Hasidic community with Peter's videos. Like they said at the end, it is so easy to make assumptions about people without actually knowing things about them, so this has really taught me so much. I have such respect for the community.
You are a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes like an angel. who is given excess intelligence, said my god who sends down rainwater that stays in the sky. may god give wealth of gold
Malky is a kick ass lady! So positive and has such a welcoming personality. I hope she accomplishes everything she wants and I'm certain she will leave the world a better place in her own way.
Malky has so much energy! I’m exhausted just from watching her! She’s wonderful to watch, though! Thank you for this amazing insight into the Chasidic community. You did a mitzvah for the world.
Thank you! This week I found my long-lost 5th grade Jewish friend who is now orthodox and a wig maker/artist, while I have become Anglican Christian. I have so much to learn about her in the five decades we have lived our separate lives. Now that we have reconnected, I want to show her I honor her beliefs and traditions. I think your series is going to help me a lot towards that goal.
You know they hate you and think Jesus is forever boiling in excrement, right? forward.com/life/416447/why-hasidic-jews-avoid-the-torah-on-christmas-eve/
If you believe this is good your not Christian quit calling yourself one you are trying to make Christian people look bad!!! Orthodox Christian and you think it's okay for people to say horrible things about Jesus CHRIST and MARY we are living in end time's for sure idiot's
As many have already said this series has been incredible and deserves some sort of recognition. Between Shlomie and Malky their insights were amazing. Great job Peter.
Caligula (Former Roman emperor) Born: August 31, 12 AD Had to look this up hahaha wow you have a great sense of humor that I bet has you beaming with beauty. Thanks for the smile you wonderful commenteer
These videos puts a whole new light on the hasidic community. I grew up in Baltimore near a hasidic community and people need to know that its not all like the Netflix show Unorthodox. These videos have got to be some of the best videos I've seen in a long time.
You are a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes like an angel. who is given excess intelligence, said my god who sends down rainwater that stays in the sky. may god give wealth of gold
"A home without a mother is a sad sad place" No truer words spoken, children during their formative years need the mother, and father too, but the mother brings something special.
You say that based on your experience. If I had to speak for mine I wouldn't say the same thing (and I turned out fine). Perpective is important. Stop believing your experience is everyone's experience and your way of life is better than everyone else's. It's not true.
This was an awesome video. I almost converted from Christianity to Judaism 9 years ago after working for a wonderful, loving Jewish family. I love when Malky says " when you meet someone that doesn't seem pretty on the outside but then you get to know them and they become beautiful." What a beautiful soul she is.
I had a moment of tears when she said its enough to be just woman, I had to hear it and I am so grateful and proud I am a woman in this crazy crazy world
Yes, I like that too. I think all women are beautiful in their own natural way. Society puts too much stress on women to fit some role society wants them to be or look like. Feminism has created a stress culture for women, needed to compete with men. Men are uncomplicated.
Yes but she was all we are mothers and take care of kids...that the only job the have...I believe in you can take care but you can also work, just like the dad
I don’t know what world you are living in if it is so crazy crazy. women have never had it better then they had for the last 20 years. Of course it depends on where in the world you’re living. but we are all free and have all the same choices and the same rights to be what ever you want. Well in the real world of course. not if you’re a Hasidic Jew. Then you are destined to be in your home for your whole life and foster up your children. Like how it was 70-years ago….
Such a beautiful energy these wonderful women radiate. Peter, thank you for making these videos. You have a gift, please keep doing what you’re doing. God bless. If you ever want to make video or know more about Mormon community please let me know
This woman is amazing, her energy is infectious. Peter I’ve watched some of your other series and I’m enjoying learning about different cultures directly from the people themselves. I think you have an incredibly calm & friendly way with people which in turn puts them at ease to speak to you. Thanks for posting such interesting content.
So true about Peter. I think another reason why people are comfortable sharing with him, is because he approaches them with sincere curiosity as apposed to being judgmental or combative. I believe that if we took the time to actually be curious and truly want to learn about others, instead of jumping to judge them, there would be much more unity and peace.
This is absolutely stunning journalism! I'm a Jewish woman who was raised secular and became observant a little over a year ago. Thank you so much for doing this and showing the world the beauty that Judaism is.
Absolutely love this. I love learning about all religions in the most unbiased way possible. These videos make me feel like I'm just observing, which is the best teacher.
Malky is such a lovely person. She’s so insightful and a wonderful representative of her community. She’s someone I’d love to have as a friend or a family member because she offers great advice and she’s got a fun, sweet personality. 💚 Also, there’s something about her that reminds me of Carmella from Sopranos - I think it’s her voice. ☺️
Mandy Sullivan haha I was thinking who does she remind me of ? I couldn’t put my finger on it but you nailed it ! Carmella from the sopranos. Boom! That’s so true . She’s a great woman for sure. I love her outlook and how she explains it all . Makes so much more sense to me now :)
@Lisa Perkett She is realistic about life. The worse thing out there for females are other females telling females to conform to their cult of third-wave feminism that pits men against women and women against other women. Women are beautiful, successful, and happier being women. No need to try to be men and compete with them on some artificial and inflated unrealistic standards that only make women unhappy, confused, and loss.
These two videos about the Hasidic women are so informative...as well as the previous videos on the Hasidic community. Thank you once again. You’ve done a great job giving an outsider a view from inside their community. I’ve learned so much.
Peter these videos are so fascinating. I earned so much about Jewish people. Thank you Malky is a fascinating woman. I loved listening and learning from her
Peter, your channel is such a rare gem. This is what the world needs despite all the chaos happening. I re-learned a lot from this Hasidic episode with Malky. Don't stereotype. A 1 bad story doesn't equate to 1 bad community. Thank you!
You are a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes like an angel. who is given excess intelligence, said my god who sends down rainwater that stays in the sky. may god give wealth of gold
These 3 series of Hasidic Jews was amazing. I can't tell you enough how valuable these videos are to the world. Thank you Peter and thank you to all your guests. They are all amazing gifted people.
Perhaps, discovering the beauty in this community is the best thing you'll have ever done. You'll be the first (and probably only) journalist ppl will contact when information needs to be shared in a non biased form. Coming from Borough Park myself, I can tell you this channel is one of the most talked about topics recently and always with love and respect. The way you put your ego aside and let people communicate at their pace, the innocent questions come across as just that; Innocent. Not prepared to trash someone or find racism/sexism between the lines but learn the perspective of a certain people who live a rather traditional way of life. Hope to bump into you one of these days at a local shop or event.
Thank you so much Peter - for this series! What an eye opener. Previously, I only had a glimpse in to the Jewish Culture. What an open interview/documentary. Thank you so much for all involved.
That moment where Chava brings home that we all have a unique set of fingerprints and therefore a purpose for being here and you pan up to the passing train....WOW. Time to pause and reflect. Malky is amazing, but I bet Chava is a delight to sit and talk to!!
These 2 videos are wonderful and definitely eye-opening. Best series I've watched a long time. Malki is beautiful inside and out and an inspiration. Would love to see more interviews with other women in her community and the Lakewood, NJ community. We NJ residents only hear about them when they've allegedly broken COVID restrictions.
Malky is one dynamic woman. How she spoke about women only needing to be women. Men cannot do what we can do - what a lovely perspective and very enlightening! So often we push ourselves to compete with men, and there is no need. Very interesting video. Also loved the woman who teaches guitar.
Hi Peter, I'm a Chasidish woman living in Jerusalem although I was born into a secular Jewish family in the US. There is a huge movement of secular Jews returning to Orthodoxy, both Chasidic and non-Chasidic. These people are called Baalei Teshuva. The first Chasidic Jews that really made it their mission to bring Torah Judaism back to secular Jews were the Chabad Chasidim. I think they could point you to some great Baalei Teshuva to interview if it peaks your interest. And if you ever come to Jerusalem, we would be happy to talk to you! Thanks for the great light you are shining on our community!!
@peter I became religious at 21, now in my mid 30s. And live next door to BoroPark in Midwood where a lot of Baalei Teshuvas live. I can open a whole different side of Orthodox Judaism to you which is with people who grew up absolutely secular
Peter, another amazing video!. Another step into a community and culture that I had absolutely no understanding of. Malky is such a true inspiration to all of us - so talented and wise - and I'm so glad you found her to serve as your guide into the Hasidic community.
As a woman, I know now I'm "amazink!" I love her and her accent. Kinda wish I had a community like this, not gonna lie. Must be nice to know you belong somewhere.
I think what people are looking for is a community that supports each other not bring people down. When you are surrounded by positive people, you become more confident and happy and therefore able to procide for your family, friends and community.
I absolutely love this woman. She is so sure of herself and strong. I love that she talks about our natural being as women. Mothers and to nature our children and raise the next generation to love God and be happy and just do good while on this earth! ❤️ so positive and love these series!!
Malky can’t give any respect or generous love towards women who choose to not have children and instead study and build their careers to fulfil their life happiness ... she says we are competing with men and shouldn’t because our role as women is to be mothers at home. So yeah, Malky is a lovely person but throws a hell of a lot of shade on women outside of her community, put it that way!
@@catau8000 I completely get where you're coming from but I genuinely don't feel like she was dissing other women - she is obviously someone who has a career, as well as being a mother, so I don't think she would hold that view at all. I think she was just trying to say that women shouldn't feel the need to compete with men or try to do everything that they do because women are amazing as they are.
You are being very diplomatic and your response here is so lovely. I think so s of Malkys comments really triggered me negatively even though she is evidently a nice lady. I’m not Jewish but actually sitting here with a good Jewish friend of mine who has basically said that anyone else can read the good into what she was intending to convey, and most other women saying that would’ve genuinely meant no judgement ...but because she is a Hasidic woman then her comments are very heavily loaded ... her belief system dictates that God intended women to be mothers and in fact procreate as much as they physically can... if you are unable to procreate or don’t wish to have children in the Hasidic faith then you are gravely looked down upon. Just our thoughts ... I love learning about other people’s faith and different communities (hence why I watched this) but of course we dont have to like everything we learn ... just live and let live ... like I said I was triggered because in that one section as came across as hypocritical, saying we should promote women’s confidence to be themselves, that they are enough, while in fact alienating a huge group of women who don’t or won’t fit that stifling gender stereotypical role of ‘doing what men can’t do, have babies’
@@catau8000 thank you for your response and for taking my message with the intention it was meant. I definitely understand where you're coming from - and I think that's a really valid point. However, since Malky didn't explicitly talk about women who can't have children/don't want children, then I wouldn't personally want to assume her view on that. However, I can imagine that it would be very difficult to be in a community that holds those values so strongly if you either can't or don't want to fulfil them. I would expect there are many scenarios outside of Hasidic Judaism where this is also the case... However, I don't think that she is wrong in saying that women, almost by definition, are natural nurturers and caregivers - because of course women's bodies (the vast majority) do have the potential to support/create life, and give birth. It makes sense that they would take care/want to take care, of the babies they have given birth to. However, I'm not at all saying that it isn't also a man's role to take care of children, or that all women feel that way. It would be interesting to hear Malky's views in more depth on the subject I guess. But you're right of course that her views are going to be heavily influenced by her faith and the values she has been brought up with. As we all are...from what I have heard of her, she seems like a very open minded person, and I think she is someone who seeks to learn and grow, whilst also holding strongly to her core beliefs and values.
A wonderful response - far more eloquent than my ramblings! What you say about loving to hear more of her views on this topic, well said! I hope we see more of her as she evidently isn’t afraid to talk about any subject and I truly do appreciate her honesty and the insight it gives us all ... honestly, it’s fascinating.
Man, Peter you are a gift to this world. The way you communicate with people, you're opening doors to world's most of us don't know about. Her views on women being traditional and how men don't compete trying to be women. Feminism has made women hate themselves and that hate has been projected onto society. Bravo Peter, your vids are great!
all the people you interview are neat people ... and Malky is no exception ... she's a very genuine, passionate, intelligent person ... well done on finding a great interviewee
This is probably the most authentic portrayal of this community that I’ve ever seen- documentaries included. You have a gift for letting your subjects speak for themselves & not speaking over them. Thank you (I’m a Jew but not Hasidic. I’ve interacted with similar communities though & I found them to be lovely and welcoming)
@@goldaa7644so far every woman interviewed has had a side job or creative hustle in addition to being a wife and mother. Not sure we should be feeling sorry for them.
Her outlook on life and on being a woman feels so right, its breathtaking and eye opening and in my opinion a real lack for the ppl who think women are not good enough just being women
Uhhhh that we should be traditional and a mother and have kids? That works for many girls but it’s also important to give opportunity for career, which they don’t. So I disagree with her outlook on women.
I understand what you are saying, but I disagree that her outlook on women. Sounds like she’s back in the 1900s, where all women were meant to be housewives. That idea that a woman’s role is to be a mother and have children, well I’m sure that works for some people, but it definitely doesn’t need to be encouraged. It’s a really beautiful thing, but it’s not my role. It doesn’t need to be every girls role too. Why should the males get to work on their career, and not the girls? Even though, she had opportunity, looks like they install gender based traditional roles into the children. So they don’t especially know they have other options... What do you think.
@@goldaa7644 her point is that women shouldn't feel less important than men. If they choose to be mothers, and raise their children, that's admirable! That's amazing! And to actually grow a human in their bodies? That's awesome!! What can be greater than that? Why should they feel ashamed for wanting that? Why should they be called 'outdated'? I know women that can't have children and they want them so badly they are in such pain, they would do anything to have a baby. Women ARE amazing. They should stop being jealous of men, what's there to be jealous of? It's ridiculous!
I love this Woman everything she said was just so meaningful and so genuine so authentic and real I could go on and on we need more women more motivational speakers like this sharing their beliefs their culture religion etc wow and Peter you are a gem don’t ever stop doing what you are doing don’t stop being you... I will always remember if it doesn’t make you feel alive Stop doing it!
What I love about your series, what is unfortunately quite rare in Journalism, is that you're trying to be completely unbiased. And even if you have prejudice or bad things you heard about it before, you seem to reflect on it throughout your videos and name it with honesty and directness instead of pre-judgement. Really appreciate it!!! Reminds me a bit of a child's way of experiencing new stuff. I think more people should be like you!!
What an amazing person she is. I have enjoyed these videos so much. Thank you for doing these videos & giving us a realistic view into other people's lives who may be different from us. 🙏🧡
This was an amazing series. I learned so much . I live in Howell NJ next to a town Lakewood NJ . Lots of Hasidic jews in that community and in Howell. This was eye opening . I always wanted to get a better understanding of their religion. I wish I lived in a community such as this one. This woman was so sweet , smart and wonderful to watch . I wouldn't mind being her neighbor and friend. I'm envious of how they live and help each other. You don't see that very often. I'm a Christian but I wouldn't mind living this way at all. It's beautiful . I look forward to watching more of your videos:) God Bless you.
Hey person, I’m an orthodox-jew who lives in Lakewood and I’m curious, does it seem like our community is hostile or could be more friendly? What is your general impression of the Lakewood community? Btw if you have any questions about the culture then I’d be glad to answer :)
Lakewood NJ is more predominantly chariedi which is another stream of ultra Orthodox Judaism while similar to Hasidic Jews it has lots of unique differences
Hi Person :) I never had any experiences with the Lakewood community being hostile but I feel lots think the people are somewhat rude to non Jews . I don’t know if I agree with that though . It seems they are really building up in Lakewood . It’s really crowded . I get scared driving through there. I see lots of young kids crossing the streets without adults and that always makes me nervous. The driving is scary in that area for sure . Speaking of driving . Are the Jewish people only allowed to drive Honda Vans? I apologize if that’s a dumb question. I’m just really curious. Thanks for your kindness 🙏
@@shimmergirl1975 it’s not that they only are allowed to drive Honda vans lol there are plenty of sedans and crossovers and SUVs there. However, when the average family has 6-10 kids it’s much more convenient and practical to get a minivan such as a Honda Odyssey or a Toyota Sienna than a smaller car if there is one family car
Ezra Baraka makes sense :) thanks I always wondered about that . I wondered about the wigs too but that was discussed in the video . It’s very fascinating to me .
Malay is amazing! ❤️ thank you for sharing your wisdom with us through Peter’s series. You speak for not only women in the Jewish community but all woman really that want to acknowledge their desire to serve the family as a wife and mother and also pursue a passion for their career or creative side. I am a Christian wife and mother and believe that we were created to be and do whatever God planned for us and for many that is being a dedicated wife and mother as well as to serve outside the home. Women I feel are uniquely equipped to do both if that is their God planned path. I have felt judged by stay at home moms, working women, and men based on their respective views on what a woman should be doing. I prayed to God many years ago to let me know if he wanted me to give up a career to solely raise a family... He answered by placing opportunities in front of me that only He could have done. This is my path and I’m thankful for women like Malay who are so bold in their love of God and confidence in sharing her life path. I would love to meet her and have a conversation one day!
She is my girl!! I can't get enough of her amazing personality and amazing outlook on life. In another life, we would have to be best friends! Kosher Zumba.. I love it!!! I adore you Malky! Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us 💖
You are a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes like an angel. who is given excess intelligence, said my god who sends down rainwater that stays in the sky. may god give wealth of gold
Excellent and well said. We as women are so wonderful as we are with our god given talents and abilities. No need to try and change us. We are amazing!!
Just want to say thank you for making this series of videos! I live in the catskills within Sullivan County NY. Each year my county of 80,000 residents quadruples when hasidic folk come to spend their summers. I've lived here for about 12 years and learned more about their culture from your videos than i have anywhere else. I encourage you to talk to shloime about this and see if you can come visit. I bet it would make an interesting video.

Really appreciate the insight and generosity of this type of welcoming someone to learn more about a culture. You’ve done a lovely effort that was respectful and with questions that are open for conversation. This was well worth the time to watch and learn.
This series about the Hasidic jews, is the best thing I've seen on RUclips for ages! You should get an Oscar for best documentary!!
Showing one side is never the " best "
documentary.
@@che59v according to Wikipedia, it actually is! Where did you get your idea?
“A documentary film is a non-fictional motion-picture intended to "document reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction, education, or maintaining a historical record".[1] Bill Nichols has characterised the documentary in terms of "a filmmaking practice, a cinematic tradition, and mode of audience reception [that remains] a practice without clear boundaries".[2]"
@@mikealmere70 Well this reality is what we do not agree with, it is a show , nothing more.
@@che59v first you say it's not a documentary because it shows only one side, nonsense. (one side of what anyway,?) Now you say it isn't good because it is supposedly a show. Stop hating!
@@mikealmere70 Wow how HATE came to this conversation, Do we hate our families? NO, stop using this tool when it comes to dealing with internal problems or those who point to problems from the outside.
STOP IT !!! no one hates you or anyone here ( agree with us or not regardless of faith color or creed).
As we wrote before This video (as nice as it is), is nothing but a one-sided PROPAGANDA video used by this cult, no deep research is shown, and no even a word about those who escaped this cult.
On a good note, some people here (not many ) are thinking people and see through the rosy picture conveyed. This is a CULT you can hide the BAD, but most here will read, and seek to
know better.

She has an instagram Malky Media

Yessss!! It would amazing and interesting
@Jennifer mills interesting. I’m super happy as a liberal woman.
@Jennifer mills oh, bless your heart. No.
She seems very real and fulfilled. This is the type of woman we should look up to. Comfortable in her own skin without feeling the need to sexualize herself, she's strong, opinionated, friendly and a true asset to her community.

Where do breediots get the right to impose unnecessary risk, suffering and death, without consent?
This question is a “check mate” for every breeding dipshit. Because they must expose themselves to be sadomasochists in order to honestly answer any part of it. Ability doesn’t equal right. Life isn’t necessary. And consent matters. Breeders have no rational or ethical/moral response to any of this. Pro life = pro suffering. It’s all or nothing. The only thing a parent can guarantee their child, is that they’ll suffer and die, pointlessly. If one considers themselves empathetic, it is this fact alone that they must refuse to recognize because they subconsciously know it completely destroys any feelings of entitlement towards procreation.
Because she hasn't been influenced by media
I can have a coffee conversation with her for hours
"It's not about only doing women's jobs. It's not about that. We are so comfortable and so happy to be women." As a Muslim woman, this is the kind of empowerment that I have always felt that people do not see about our community, too!! I love this series and these Hasidic Jewish people. There are so many beautiful ways of life out there and it's nice to see. Thank you!
Most of muslim women are gold digger sadly im saying it as a muslim man
A home without a mother is a quite, silent, peaceful, drama free, passive/active aggressiveness free place.

Maybe it is a surprise but as a woman in Japan, I often hear the same comment about us from English-speaking source!
I love what she says about being a woman. I’ve never understood the diminishing of the value of home making and motherhood. It’s a freaking superpower to grow a new human in your body, and to be a partner in nurturing and growing that unique life as he or she grows.
You’ve done so much for our community Peter, please keep these videos coming. I have watched and liked every one and recently subscribed. Amazing unbiased work!
I'm not gonna lie I recently came across these, I'm from a city in England but I never understood the Jewish culture or mindset and it just absolutely stuns me how confident, kind and happy! So happy! Jews are in there mindset, there belief in god and there mission is all very great, this woman's passion for womanhood etc it's certainly a beautiful thing.

Yes ma'am
Thanks! I feel like it was meant to be for me to watch this today. I’m a single mom, working from home for a large corporation in the tech industry. I’ve spent a great deal of my life climbing what feels like against the grain within the business world. Especially tech. I’ve felt that I’m opening doors for my own daughter while respecting the women that came before me so that I may have this job now. It’s felt very much like a duty. This vid really brought tears to my eyes! I’ve never considered that just being a woman/mom is enough. Living in the moment. My daughter knows I dislike my job…yeah so what am I teaching her by continuing this lifestyle? Inspiring women like the one in this vid is something we ALL need to see, hear and believe! And btw. I don’t know how long you’ve lived in FL but as a native…welcome. I know a great deal about this state so feel free to reply should you want information. Loved the Amish snowbirds!
Walt Whitman wrote a short poem. "I am the poet of the woman the same as the man, And I say it is as great to be a woman as to be a man, And I say there is nothing greater than the mother of a man." If we think about it, the whole world revolves around and the mother in a beautiful way. The labor a man makes is to invest in the life the woman creates and the home she keeps. Motherhood and housekeeping is one of the most important things there is.
♥ I was a single mom with no outside support. I raised and fed my children working in tech and for that I'm grateful. The resistance from men was pretty much consistent in every environment and definitely felt I was fighting my way uphill. Sad for the businesses and corporations because for the most part, people are playing the art of war instead of investing their energy into doing what's best for the company they are supposed to be supporting. It really affects software design when people can't have a simple, honest meeting of minds with integrity. For my kids, it was rough. Even when I worked at home because the hours were long and I was trying to stay consistently focused. Good money. I don't know how I could have done it differently but I can't say the prolonged political affront didn't take its toll and I can't say that my children didn't miss having parents.
Oh, please. I bet you tell everyone that you work from home for a large corporation. Stop bragging.
@thislightful ❤ Well said.
@@luv2travel2000 It's a lie.
I adore this woman, she is speaking facts about women and what all women should embrace without apology or haughty demand, its ok to be a woman.
exactly it’s not common to see men trying to “act like women” but so many women try to “act like a man” when we really don’t need to
@@sneakerhead6625 EXACTLY!! It's like demeaning yourself, for being yourself, instead of embracing yourself for all that you are.
What is it to be a woman? There has to be space to everyone to be what they are. Its ok to be a woman, it's ok to be a 'manly' woman, its ok to be a feminine man etc. I can understand were she is coming from, and im happy she feels so fulfilled with her role, but sadly every woman doesn't have the same experience.
@@alemorrisoncocina5211 Then its up to that woman to define whatever her experience is, but not deviate because of pressure from society, nor allow society to devalue a traditional role as a woman that most embrace, and have no problems with.
I love her sentiment but not all women have the luxury to stay home, remember Hassidim are heavily financially subsidized by their community and/or welfare. In the outside world if your husband is able to foot all the bills, mortgage, insurance, car payments and extra-curricular activities, then by all means stay home.
More of Malky's world please!! She's the epitome of a woman.
Yep 👍
You are a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes like an angel. who is given excess intelligence, said my god who sends down rainwater that stays in the sky. may god give wealth of gold
She should be an inspirational speaker.
Malky is battling with her own demons.
@@michaelkelly3221
everyone is battling with our own demons. That’s our life here on earth Judaism teaches us this. Our true self is whole complete and worthy. Our true self is our soul, who wants nothing but to serve G-d
Our souls are trapped in these bodies which have needs and demands and wants nothing more than do so things for itself.
The spirit of folly comes in and sometimes we fall prey to it
Any thing that is a sidestep from serving HaShem comes from an external source… it’s not in us. Or who we really are …
And we need to recognize and own up to our mistake and do better tomorrow than we have today.
So this statement you made applies to every human (except a tzadik)
I love her so much !! I honestly just had an aha moment where tears filled my eyes when she said that we, as women are enough in itself. I for one exhaust myself emotionally to be more, to surround myself with more. Its honestly draining and anxiety inducing. I've lost a child and divorced within a year. I felt a pull to prove to people that I was a survivor but at the risk of getting myself sick with nerves. I want to thank her for this breath of fresh air and now I'm saying, yes..I am enough !!!
honestly put and well said. in the moment you have enormous courage. g-d speed and good luck
Stay strong and trust HaShem
We are cheering you on, stay strong!

This is fantastic. Thank you Malki and everyone in the community for teaching us non-Jews about your beautiful religion and outlook on life. I feel so much more purposeful in life because of this series.
Finally, someone took the time to really get to know the Hasidic community without preconceived judgements. Malke is amazing. So well spoken, articulate, and a fabulous representative of Hasidic women
3:25-7:00 yes!!! No apologies for being a woman who loves being a woman.

@@cb.1212 Are you joking? We've had a world where women performed the roles they were 'created' to perform. They couldn't be doctors, scientists. They couldn't vote. I respect every community as long as they willingly allow those individuals who want to be independent be independent without ostracising them.
@CommandoVault why would I ("leftist") be triggered?
I'm a woman. I agree, it's awesome. I love it.
But I don't believe that my main/only purpose is being a housewife and mother simply due to my sex. I love being a lawyer. I get up every morning and usually love what I do. It seems to be quite rare (when I compare myself to others. Whether stay at home mums or working dads).
My lifestyle also is not condoned by many conservative religious communities (at least in my home country).
So I say "no, thank you. Not for me personally". But as long as they don't try to infringe on anyone else's freedom? I respect theirs.
@@leonamay8776 I think the person is referring to those “feminists” who feel the constant need to denigrate men. I think all of us can agree that women are amazing and should be treated equally. However this isn’t at the expense of men, or putting men down. Modern feminism has become so toxic. I agree with Malky’s points in the video. That women don’t have to excel at everything just to prove they are capable, however, if you enjoy being a lawyer, kudos to you. I congratulate you on the basis of being an individual, not because you’re a woman
@Jennifer mills That’s quite some generalization you’ve got there

Totally inspiring. I wish all women could accept each other and not feel compelled to create a mini version of themselves.
Malky, HaShem greatly bless you!
It’s very very important for ladies to be able to get along with each other and work well together without issues. Men need to make stronger efforts to ensure that ladies are getting along and interacting well with each other.
I'm Jewish but I've learned so much about the Hasidic community with Peter's videos. Like they said at the end, it is so easy to make assumptions about people without actually knowing things about them, so this has really taught me so much. I have such respect for the community.

"A home without a mother is a sad sad place" No truer words spoken, children during their formative years need the mother, and father too, but the mother brings something special.
You say that based on your experience.
If I had to speak for mine I wouldn't say the same thing (and I turned out fine).
Perpective is important. Stop believing your experience is everyone's experience and your way of life is better than everyone else's. It's not true.

Yes, I like that too. I think all women are beautiful in their own natural way. Society puts too much stress on women to fit some role society wants them to be or look like. Feminism has created a stress culture for women, needed to compete with men. Men are uncomplicated.

I don’t know what world you are living in if it is so crazy crazy. women have never had it better then they had for the last 20 years. Of course it depends on where in the world you’re living. but we are all free and have all the same choices and the same rights to be what ever you want. Well in the real world of course. not if you’re a Hasidic Jew. Then you are destined to be in your home for your whole life and foster up your children. Like how it was 70-years ago….

I think you have an incredibly calm & friendly way with people which in turn puts them at ease to speak to you. Thanks for posting such interesting content.
So true about Peter. I think another reason why people are comfortable sharing with him, is because he approaches them with sincere curiosity as apposed to being judgmental or combative. I believe that if we took the time to actually be curious and truly want to learn about others, instead of jumping to judge them, there would be much more unity and peace.
I really like this lady - also her guitar teacher , they're fantastic .
It was nice to hear all that positivity. You don't have to be Jewish to learn from listening to her talk. She was giving out life lessons for free.
This is absolutely stunning journalism! I'm a Jewish woman who was raised secular and became observant a little over a year ago. Thank you so much for doing this and showing the world the beauty that Judaism is.
Absolutely love this. I love learning about all religions in the most unbiased way possible. These videos make me feel like I'm just observing, which is the best teacher.
Malky is such a lovely person. She’s so insightful and a wonderful representative of her community. She’s someone I’d love to have as a friend or a family member because she offers great advice and she’s got a fun, sweet personality. 💚 Also, there’s something about her that reminds me of Carmella from Sopranos - I think it’s her voice. ☺️

@Lisa Perkett She is realistic about life. The worse thing out there for females are other females telling females to conform to their cult of third-wave feminism that pits men against women and women against other women. Women are beautiful, successful, and happier being women. No need to try to be men and compete with them on some artificial and inflated unrealistic standards that only make women unhappy, confused, and loss.
Me too ! Such a fun realistic personality !
These two videos about the Hasidic women are so informative...as well as the previous videos on the Hasidic community. Thank you once again. You’ve done a great job giving an outsider a view from inside their community. I’ve learned so much.
Peter these videos are so fascinating. I earned so much about Jewish people. Thank you Malky is a fascinating woman. I loved listening and learning from her
Peter, your channel is such a rare gem. This is what the world needs despite all the chaos happening. I re-learned a lot from this Hasidic episode with Malky. Don't stereotype. A 1 bad story doesn't equate to 1 bad community. Thank you!
Peter is our foremost cultural interlocutor. He brings people together to illuminate and not judge.

These 3 series of Hasidic Jews was amazing. I can't tell you enough how valuable these videos are to the world. Thank you Peter and thank you to all your guests. They are all amazing gifted people.
What a beautiful point she made that we all have different finger prints! I'm going to share that
Perhaps, discovering the beauty in this community is the best thing you'll have ever done. You'll be the first (and probably only) journalist ppl will contact when information needs to be shared in a non biased form.
Coming from Borough Park myself, I can tell you this channel is one of the most talked about topics recently and always with love and respect.
The way you put your ego aside and let people communicate at their pace, the innocent questions come across as just that; Innocent. Not prepared to trash someone or find racism/sexism between the lines but learn the perspective of a certain people who live a rather traditional way of life.
Hope to bump into you one of these days at a local shop or event.
She has so much energy!!! She does so many things, art, dance, movies... plus that kosher Zumba class!!
Thank you so much Peter - for this series! What an eye opener. Previously, I only had a glimpse in to the Jewish Culture. What an open interview/documentary. Thank you so much for all involved.
That moment where Chava brings home that we all have a unique set of fingerprints and therefore a purpose for being here and you pan up to the passing train....WOW. Time to pause and reflect. Malky is amazing, but I bet Chava is a delight to sit and talk to!!
I think Malky has become a star through this amazing fantastic series ! We should all be so lucky to have someone like her in our communities.
I never thought in my life I’d find my guitar teacher on RUclips 😂 that’s so cool
Cute! Which school?
Please do not say what school! & pretty cool that is
This journey through the Hasidic neighborhoods has been absolutely informative. Thank you!!!
These 2 videos are wonderful and definitely eye-opening. Best series I've watched a long time. Malki is beautiful inside and out and an inspiration. Would love to see more interviews with other women in her community and the Lakewood, NJ community. We NJ residents only hear about them when they've allegedly broken COVID restrictions.
Malky is one dynamic woman. How she spoke about women only needing to be women. Men cannot do what we can do - what a lovely perspective and very enlightening! So often we push ourselves to compete with men, and there is no need. Very interesting video. Also loved the woman who teaches guitar.
Hi Peter, I'm a Chasidish woman living in Jerusalem although I was born into a secular Jewish family in the US. There is a huge movement of secular Jews returning to Orthodoxy, both Chasidic and non-Chasidic. These people are called Baalei Teshuva. The first Chasidic Jews that really made it their mission to bring Torah Judaism back to secular Jews were the Chabad Chasidim. I think they could point you to some great Baalei Teshuva to interview if it peaks your interest. And if you ever come to Jerusalem, we would be happy to talk to you! Thanks for the great light you are shining on our community!!
Yes ! Absolutely agree!
He should interview nissim black!
@peter I became religious at 21, now in my mid 30s. And live next door to BoroPark in Midwood where a lot of Baalei Teshuvas live. I can open a whole different side of Orthodox Judaism to you which is with people who grew up absolutely secular

Peter, another amazing video!. Another step into a community and culture that I had absolutely no understanding of. Malky is such a true inspiration to all of us - so talented and wise - and I'm so glad you found her to serve as your guide into the Hasidic community.
I learn a lot from your videos. I think I’m addicted to your interview style.
I’m Muslim and I’ve got to say she is amazing
As a woman, I know now I'm "amazink!" I love her and her accent. Kinda wish I had a community like this, not gonna lie. Must be nice to know you belong somewhere.
I think what people are looking for is a community that supports each other not bring people down. When you are surrounded by positive people, you become more confident and happy and therefore able to procide for your family, friends and community.
This community feels just exactly like my Muslim one and I am just in love with their nature, their kindness. God guide us all to have inner beauty
I’ve never heard anyone give the definition of what it is to be a woman like this lady... absolutely amazing.
I absolutely love this woman. She is so sure of herself and strong. I love that she talks about our natural being as women. Mothers and to nature our children and raise the next generation to love God and be happy and just do good while on this earth! ❤️ so positive and love these series!!
This was so enlightening! These women are so articulate and easy to listen to. Thank you! ❤️🌷
Is there actually anything that Malky can't do?!.... She's incredible!!
Malky can’t give any respect or generous love towards women who choose to not have children and instead study and build their careers to fulfil their life happiness ... she says we are competing with men and shouldn’t because our role as women is to be mothers at home. So yeah, Malky is a lovely person but throws a hell of a lot of shade on women outside of her community, put it that way!
@@catau8000 I completely get where you're coming from but I genuinely don't feel like she was dissing other women - she is obviously someone who has a career, as well as being a mother, so I don't think she would hold that view at all. I think she was just trying to say that women shouldn't feel the need to compete with men or try to do everything that they do because women are amazing as they are.
You are being very diplomatic and your response here is so lovely. I think so s of Malkys comments really triggered me negatively even though she is evidently a nice lady. I’m not Jewish but actually sitting here with a good Jewish friend of mine who has basically said that anyone else can read the good into what she was intending to convey, and most other women saying that would’ve genuinely meant no judgement ...but because she is a Hasidic woman then her comments are very heavily loaded ... her belief system dictates that God intended women to be mothers and in fact procreate as much as they physically can... if you are unable to procreate or don’t wish to have children in the Hasidic faith then you are gravely looked down upon. Just our thoughts ... I love learning about other people’s faith and different communities (hence why I watched this) but of course we dont have to like everything we learn ... just live and let live ... like I said I was triggered because in that one section as came across as hypocritical, saying we should promote women’s confidence to be themselves, that they are enough, while in fact alienating a huge group of women who don’t or won’t fit that stifling gender stereotypical role of ‘doing what men can’t do, have babies’
@@catau8000 thank you for your response and for taking my message with the intention it was meant. I definitely understand where you're coming from - and I think that's a really valid point. However, since Malky didn't explicitly talk about women who can't have children/don't want children, then I wouldn't personally want to assume her view on that. However, I can imagine that it would be very difficult to be in a community that holds those values so strongly if you either can't or don't want to fulfil them. I would expect there are many scenarios outside of Hasidic Judaism where this is also the case...
However, I don't think that she is wrong in saying that women, almost by definition, are natural nurturers and caregivers - because of course women's bodies (the vast majority) do have the potential to support/create life, and give birth. It makes sense that they would take care/want to take care, of the babies they have given birth to.
However, I'm not at all saying that it isn't also a man's role to take care of children, or that all women feel that way.
It would be interesting to hear Malky's views in more depth on the subject I guess. But you're right of course that her views are going to be heavily influenced by her faith and the values she has been brought up with. As we all are...from what I have heard of her, she seems like a very open minded person, and I think she is someone who seeks to learn and grow, whilst also holding strongly to her core beliefs and values.
A wonderful response - far more eloquent than my ramblings! What you say about loving to hear more of her views on this topic, well said! I hope we see more of her as she evidently isn’t afraid to talk about any subject and I truly do appreciate her honesty and the insight it gives us all ... honestly, it’s fascinating.
Man, Peter you are a gift to this world. The way you communicate with people, you're opening doors to world's most of us don't know about. Her views on women being traditional and how men don't compete trying to be women. Feminism has made women hate themselves and that hate has been projected onto society. Bravo Peter, your vids are great!
She is absolutely incredible!
Do these are the greatest documentaries ever you ask all the right questions and cover all the bases
all the people you interview are neat people ... and Malky is no exception ... she's a very genuine, passionate, intelligent person ... well done on finding a great interviewee
This is probably the most authentic portrayal of this community that I’ve ever seen- documentaries included. You have a gift for letting your subjects speak for themselves & not speaking over them. Thank you
(I’m a Jew but not Hasidic. I’ve interacted with similar communities though & I found them to be lovely and welcoming)
I love that they celebrate each other! All women could stand to watch and learn from this.
Learn that our role is to be a mother and have children? No thanks.
@@goldaa7644so far every woman interviewed has had a side job or creative hustle in addition to being a wife and mother. Not sure we should be feeling sorry for them.
Malky has a great personality and is actually a truly charming woman.
OK dude, she ain't gonna sleep with you... Simp
@@chris_sssss In my country, saying somebody is charming does not mean one wants to sleep with her.
@@davidyunnan let me guess... "nice guys always finish last"
@@chris_sssss you seem nice and humorous
@@davidyunnan you seem fun at parties
I know this was posted a year ago but Wow! I love this. As a non practicing Christian, I truly find this fascinating!
I love Malky and I'm so glad I found this channel!!! Thank you for bringing light to the real real.
Again you have rocked it in this video.. I have learned so much.. Thanks Peter.
GLUED to this series. just wow, exactly what we needed
This is so amazing. You have a gift peter. Congratulations on 5 years without a drink.
This perspective truly shows what heroes women are in their daily lives. Amazing content, as always. B''H!
Muslim woman here from the UK. I just saw this and love it. Fascinating. Love this woman's outlook on life and people. Peace and love from me to you x
I stumbled across your videos Peter and must thank you for this inside look at this community.
Her outlook on life and on being a woman feels so right, its breathtaking and eye opening and in my opinion a real lack for the ppl who think women are not good enough just being women
Uhhhh that we should be traditional and a mother and have kids? That works for many girls but it’s also important to give opportunity for career, which they don’t. So I disagree with her outlook on women.
@@goldaa7644 it's not a contradiction, they do give opportunity for carriers, she has one herself
I understand what you are saying, but I disagree that her outlook on women. Sounds like she’s back in the 1900s, where all women were meant to be housewives. That idea that a woman’s role is to be a mother and have children, well I’m sure that works for some people, but it definitely doesn’t need to be encouraged. It’s a really beautiful thing, but it’s not my role. It doesn’t need to be every girls role too. Why should the males get to work on their career, and not the girls? Even though, she had opportunity, looks like they install gender based traditional roles into the children. So they don’t especially know they have other options... What do you think.
@@goldaa7644 her point is that women shouldn't feel less important than men. If they choose to be mothers, and raise their children, that's admirable! That's amazing! And to actually grow a human in their bodies? That's awesome!! What can be greater than that? Why should they feel ashamed for wanting that? Why should they be called 'outdated'?
I know women that can't have children and they want them so badly they are in such pain, they would do anything to have a baby.
Women ARE amazing.
They should stop being jealous of men, what's there to be jealous of? It's ridiculous!
As you word it like that, it sounds a lot better and I agree:)
I love this Woman everything she said was just so meaningful and so genuine so authentic and real I could go on and on we need more women more motivational speakers like this sharing their beliefs their culture religion etc wow and Peter you are a gem don’t ever stop doing what you are doing don’t stop being you... I will always remember if it doesn’t make you feel alive Stop doing it!
I have no idea how this lady has so much energy. Even by the end of it it was like she was just getting started.
What I love about your series, what is unfortunately quite rare in Journalism, is that you're trying to be completely unbiased. And even if you have prejudice or bad things you heard about it before, you seem to reflect on it throughout your videos and name it with honesty and directness instead of pre-judgement. Really appreciate it!!! Reminds me a bit of a child's way of experiencing new stuff. I think more people should be like you!!
What an amazing person she is. I have enjoyed these videos so much. Thank you for doing these videos & giving us a realistic view into other people's lives who may be different from us. 🙏🧡
This was an amazing series. I learned so much . I live in Howell NJ next to a town Lakewood NJ . Lots of Hasidic jews in that community and in Howell. This was eye opening . I always wanted to get a better understanding of their religion. I wish I lived in a community such as this one. This woman was so sweet , smart and wonderful to watch . I wouldn't mind being her neighbor and friend. I'm envious of how they live and help each other. You don't see that very often. I'm a Christian but I wouldn't mind living this way at all. It's beautiful .
I look forward to watching more of your videos:) God Bless you.
Hey person, I’m an orthodox-jew who lives in Lakewood and I’m curious, does it seem like our community is hostile or could be more friendly? What is your general impression of the Lakewood community?
Btw if you have any questions about the culture then I’d be glad to answer :)
Lakewood NJ is more predominantly chariedi which is another stream of ultra Orthodox Judaism while similar to Hasidic Jews it has lots of unique differences
Hi Person :) I never had any experiences with the Lakewood community being hostile but I feel lots think the people are somewhat rude to non Jews . I don’t know if I agree with that though . It seems they are really building up in Lakewood . It’s really crowded . I get scared driving through there. I see lots of young kids crossing the streets without adults and that always makes me nervous. The driving is scary in that area for sure . Speaking of driving . Are the Jewish people only allowed to drive Honda Vans? I apologize if that’s a dumb question. I’m just really curious. Thanks for your kindness 🙏
@@shimmergirl1975 it’s not that they only are allowed to drive Honda vans lol there are plenty of sedans and crossovers and SUVs there. However, when the average family has 6-10 kids it’s much more convenient and practical to get a minivan such as a Honda Odyssey or a Toyota Sienna than a smaller car if there is one family car
Ezra Baraka makes sense :) thanks I always wondered about that . I wondered about the wigs too but that was discussed in the video . It’s very fascinating to me .
As a Catholic, I’m learning that we have a lot in common with our Jewish brothers and sisters. Especially when it comes to values! 😊
yikes
I'm a Muslim and I can relate very closely to Hasidic people. Our Faiths are so similar, it's beautiful!
❤️
She is a rrsl fire cracker j.
I like the people . They have a great sense of ommunity
Malay is amazing! ❤️ thank you for sharing your wisdom with us through Peter’s series. You speak for not only women in the Jewish community but all woman really that want to acknowledge their desire to serve the family as a wife and mother and also pursue a passion for their career or creative side. I am a Christian wife and mother and believe that we were created to be and do whatever God planned for us and for many that is being a dedicated wife and mother as well as to serve outside the home. Women I feel are uniquely equipped to do both if that is their God planned path. I have felt judged by stay at home moms, working women, and men based on their respective views on what a woman should be doing. I prayed to God many years ago to let me know if he wanted me to give up a career to solely raise a family... He answered by placing opportunities in front of me that only He could have done. This is my path and I’m thankful for women like Malay who are so bold in their love of God and confidence in sharing her life path. I would love to meet her and have a conversation one day!
She is my girl!! I can't get enough of her amazing personality and amazing outlook on life. In another life, we would have to be best friends! Kosher Zumba.. I love it!!! I adore you Malky! Thanks for sharing your beautiful life with us 💖
You are a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes like an angel. who is given excess intelligence, said my god who sends down rainwater that stays in the sky. may god give wealth of gold
Excellent and well said. We as women are so wonderful as we are with our god given talents and abilities. No need to try and change us. We are amazing!!
..James Brown knew this all too well.
Just want to say thank you for making this series of videos! I live in the catskills within Sullivan County NY. Each year my county of 80,000 residents quadruples when hasidic folk come to spend their summers. I've lived here for about 12 years and learned more about their culture from your videos than i have anywhere else. I encourage you to talk to shloime about this and see if you can come visit. I bet it would make an interesting video.
THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF HASIDS . I ENCOURAGHE TO EXPLORE THE MANY TYPES. IM LUBOVICH . WE ARE THE OUT GOING PARTY ANIMALS FROM CROWN HEIGHTS COMPAIRED FROM THE REST. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN HERE IN NYC SINCE 7/20/1720 . AND IM/WE STILL HERE.
Thank you, please dont end chassidic community there. Were waiting to see more.
Those are two cool women. Their community, culture, and religion are obviously working out for them. Respect!
Really appreciate the insight and generosity of this type of welcoming someone to learn more about a culture. You’ve done a lovely effort that was respectful and with questions that are open for conversation. This was well worth the time to watch and learn.
