It begins with the story of ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jew Samuel Leibowitz, who has multiple convictions for international drug-smuggling. Filmmaker Vanessa Engle follows him as he comes out of prison and returns to his community, documenting his re-entry into ultra-orthodox life to discover whether he can overcome his transgressions and live once again as an observant Hasidic Jew.
Samuel Leibowitz, an ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jew with a history of drug trafficking convictions, is the protagonist of the BBC Four documentary about Jewish life in modern-day Britain.

He's a real asset to the community now BH... He works at Indigs and welcomes everyone with a smile.. May Hashem grant him peace in his remaining years... We all can make mistakes in life... Its what we do after that shows true defining character... Never give up on anyone we are all G-ds offspring... Having said that Stamford hill has produced some solids characters over the years... Its a black and white community but where there is colour its like an exploding rainbow... May Moshiach come speedily in our days..
In the right place indeed
amen ve amen
Amen
And the builders merchant at Stafford Hill opens on a Sunday
That’s great to know :)
I was wondering about Samuel since this video was done 15 years ago
I wonder if he sold LSD. His moniker would have been legendary: "The Acidic Jew"
Idk why but LMAO
Love ittttttt!!!
Excellent! Very funny.

You win the internet today.
I was in jail in NYC with a Hasidic. He was so clueless about modern life that he was arrested for trying to sell 300 ecstasy pills on craigslist. People used to clown on him like crazy, and we really did some fucked up pranks on him, but he was a sport...we kinda protected him for the most part. I heard he went right back into jail after he got out for unpaid child support though.
Good you stood up for him
What in the the US you go to jail for not paying child support?

This dude doesn't need a doco. He needs a MOVIE! This dude is bad ass - the fuck around - find out type of guy.
His brother is very sweet and really understands the reality of the situation.
“Obviously”
His brother is not against non jews
I lived in a rented basement flat in Stamford Hill for a few years in the 80s. The local Hasidic community was very nice and not at all hostile, although they largely kept to their own. they used to buy a lot of family sized Volvos from my husband
Wasn't there a Volvo car dealership back in the day in that area?
The reason being during WW2 Sweden took in a lot of Jews that were fleeing German at the time, hence the Jewish patronage to the car.
@@Rob0865 Most have traded up to non German ppl carriers.
@@Rob0865And look what they did to Sweden in return. Destroyed it with mass Muslim illegal aliens.
I like Samuel alot, nobody likes what his indiscretions were, but his insight is nothing short of remarkable.
It’s amazing 😂 how the lawyer calls crimes - troubles of life. 😂
Nope. 20:30, if you watch it again, you'll hear the lawyer said "be it the kind of trouble I specialize in", meaning legal or crime, or "be it the more normal troubles of life...." meaning sickness, death, pregnancy.
They're not crimes since it's legal for governments to do it, and they do, so it seems they are just "troubles of life" for the rest of us.
He doesn't. He refers first to those with criminal activities and then separately then refers to something else - people who have troubles of life.
Crime is trouble for sure, he just used kind & soft words.
I've bought weed off a orthodox jew! There a law unto themselves, in Manchester they actually chained & padlocked two public parks cause they didn't want to mix with us. One jew said to me that there law is more important than ours, i corrected him! There supposed to learn English, geography and things but they don't, they say they do but they just learn religious stuff. They run businesses out of there houses and don't declare it. The women shave there heads then they wear a wig then they put a covering over that yet I never hear there being oppressed like we do with muslims
Must be nice to have a life-long community to be a part of.
Rather not be one of the Hasidics

Marrying 3rd or 4th cousins for 20 generations in a row is not genetically sustainable. The results of such inbreeding are on full display in many of the group shots in this video.
Leibowitz knows where the real "holy land" is - and it isn't with his own kind!

First time I've seen the inner workings of a Jewish life and believe me in my opinion they're not missing out on anything living a non-Jewish life.👍
Exactly! We all really need to simplify our lives. Most importantly show charity to one an another even when those who’ve made mistakes. Great lesson!
What they don't tell you that they believe, that when the messiah returns the jews will rule the world and every Jew will receive 1800 non believers as slaves. Also they believe they are chosen by god. This conviction has huge impact how they think about non believers.
@@fredn5305 I want the document to back this up, including Rabbi’s reference. I know quite a few Jews.
@@fredn5305 This is not true. When messiah comes, all people will be elevated. We do not look down on non-believers. And we do not tell lies like you have done. You will never bring love if you practice hate.

Hahaha you Read my mind
Ricky is a jew aswell
I think more Guy Ritchie
The reporter gives the Hasidim a full chance to explain what they do that is different. It is very helpful and makes things clear, rather than seeming strange. It's odd and interesting to hear the Hasidim speaking with a British accent, as I'm used to Yiddish and Brooklyn accent.

I grew up in what could best be described as a sort of orthodox Christian community (not Greek Orthodox, just Orthodox (very very observant) Christian). And I can say, and I think any kid who grew up in an orthodox community of any type (Islam, Christian, Jewish, etc) that you have this feeling that you are protected, that the adults really care about you. Our family split away from the orthodox Christian community and became Catholic and I think that was a mistake, not because Catholicism is bad but b/c religion is not so useful if it's practiced 45 min/week. I really miss the life I had as a kid and wish I could find a way back there but I don't know how to go back. But still to this day, I always love to see observant people of any religion and I feel a connection to them. Go to any observant religious community and sure, they will have strange customs, but if you can look beyond that, you will see a decent people willing to endure hardships and lend a hand to the stranger and that's a cool thing to me that I always respect so much
Thanks for sharing
You've missed the point of religion. There can only be 1 truth, it's not about what one you like best.
@@christopherdavis1066 You missed the point of my post
Then just go to a highly orthodox community and allow them to practice what you're preaching on you. You can move. You're not a tree.
100% true. I've seen in with religious Jews, Born Again Christians, Mormons, and more. I think that some of it involves the way outsiders look at them. For instance, in Tsarist Russia (which ruled all of Slavic Europe) my Jewish ancestors really had to watch their step, because they were despised by Christians. If one Jew committed even a minor misconduct, the entire Jewish community would have to pay for it. If a Jewish peddler cheated a customer, the magistrate would bill the Shtetl collectively. But here in the USA (or in the UK) there's no legal collective responsibility, and the government doesn't deal with us as a block. So we're less paranoid about outsiders seeing us negatively. There's also the "model minority" ideal, where we promote ourselves as being nothing but good, and the authorities believe it.
I learned a lot from this documentary. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
He doesn’t appreciate or even recognise what he’s got. What a shame. It’s virtually impossible to drag oneself from a situation like this without the help & support that he’s had.
Hypocrisy. Hypocrite. Wolf 🐺 in sheep's clothing. No time for Hypocrisy. Everyone deserves a second chance but Hypocrisy?
And what he said about his cell mate trying to kill his wife. "More power to him." Not a scrap of gratitude for all the people in the community who showed him kindness, no sorrow for the drug addicts whose lives he destroyed. So many ex-cons walk out of prison (if they ever do) and just go be homeless. This guy is spoiled rotten.
@@MultiKm1
Not at all. He must abide by the rigid rules of the community, the basic tenant is that everything one’s does is dictated by the rules and laws of the Bible. For a drug trafficker, it’s not easy, the loss of freedom and money is very real.
@@MultiKm1 What are you even talking about? Did you not hear what he said before saying "More power to him". He talked about receiving an open hand without asking. Clearly he's grateful. Even then saying "More power to him" indicates he doesn't want to think deeply about crime. Why would he? He's trying to move away from it.
@@Kevin-zv6ds Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.
I love the way they care for their elders.
Regular people do this too. Do you think most people just stick their elders in a nursing home and forget about them? Put down the pipe and step back into reality.
My lesson: It’s a community. They work with each other. No fancy degree needed. And people are earning their living. I kinda like that.
Who cares if no one is qualified so long as they believe in the same Iron-Age nonsense? I kinda despise that.
@@charleshowie2074 you don’t have to like it. It works for them, and they are content.
@@margybernard You don't have to despise it. Everything anyone does who isn't dead could be described as 'work[ing] for them' and they are content because their society has been consciously organised to keep their children ignorant of life outside their community.
I like it too. I think it's great. Huge families owning businesses and employing their own people and pass their businesses down to the next generation. They don't need the education because they're almost guaranteed a job or a business. But they do have to marry within the religion and I've known Jewish men fall in love with 'outsiders' and either been shunned by their community or had to give up their secret relationship and marry a Jewish woman and possibly not live a fully happy life.
College can be a waste these days. That's just reality.
The biscuits and pig milk ... best scene
I do think the way that the older people are looked after is fantastic
How did you come to that conclusion? From a brief clip!
@@keepingitrealUK brief clip??? I'd say video is more apt
740: In 740 A.D. in a land locked between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, known as Khazaria, a land which today is predominantly occupied by Georgia, but also reaches into Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, and Romania, the modern Jewish race is born. A modern Jewish race that incidentally is not Jewish.
How can this be, you ask? Well at that time, the Khazarian people felt vulnerable people as they had Muslims on one side of them and Christians on the other side of them, and thus constantly feared attack from either side. Furthermore, the Khazarian people were of neither faith and instead practiced idol worship, which made them ripe for invasion by a people who wished to convert them to an established faith.
The Khazarian King, King Bulan, decided in order to protect themselves against attack, the Khazarian people must convert to one of these faiths, but which one? If they converted to the Muslim faith they would risk attack by the Christians and if they converted to the Christian faith they would risk attack by the Muslims.
He had an idea. There was another race that he was aware was able to deal with both the Muslims and the Christians on either side of him, predominantly in matters of trade. A race that also dealt with Khazarians in the same manner. That race was the Jews. King Bulan decided if he instructed his people
to convert to Judaism he could keep both the Muslims and the Christians happy, as they were both already willing to trade with the Jews, so this is what he did.
King Bulan was right. He would live to see his country unconquered, and his people convert to Judaism enthusiastically and adopt the principles of the holiest Jewish book, the Talmud. There are many things the king would not have to see, however.
He would not live to see his Asiatic race of converts to Judaism, one day represent 90% of all the Jews on the planet, and call themselves Ashkenazi Jews, when in fact they were not Jews, but simply an Asiatic race of people who converted to the Jewish religion, whilst still continuing to speak the Khazarian language of Yiddish, totally different to the language of Hebrew.
He would not live to see his people turn to the descendants of a man, far more powerful than him, who would be born just over 1,000 years later in Germany, a man named Bauer, who would spawn the Rothschild dynasty.
He would not live to see this dynasty usurp the wealth of the world through deception and intrigue, which they would finance through the vast riches they accumulate as they usurp the wealth of the world by gaining control of the world's money supply.
He would not live to see his people demand a homeland for themselves in Palestine as their birthright, and ensure every Prime Minister there from its inception in 1948 is an Ashkenazi Jew, even though the true homeland of the Ashkenazi Jews, Khazaria, is his kingdom, some 800 miles away.
And he would not live to see his people fulfill bible prophecy, as the "synagogue of Satan."
@@keepingitrealUK with a name like Simon Harris he probably knows first hand and elderly Jewish ppl are for the most part exceptionally well cared for in the UK.
I admire his honesty, he knows himself it was wrong, and admits to being an attention seeker, but it is still a shock to see a Hasidic Jewish man turn to drug smuggling. Their society is so close but almost suffocating, it must be really hard to avoid the temptations of a modern city like London. It was a really interesting documentary and a great insight into a much maligned community.
You obviously know nothing. Many higher ups in the Hasidic Jewish community a drug kingpins! How do you think there's so much wealth spreading around. Mostly drugs and diamonds
People don't get tempted to wholesale supply drugs, he is a scumbag, like you if you think he is decent.
Hope your good mate,
Yeah your right the Jewish community is very strict and very tight knit too, but that’s is a massive part of it that the mother or the father is not missing, in prison or otherwise, it’s very rare to see or hear a Jewish person in the courts or anything to do with the criminals world, but on completely the other hand, just look at how successful they are, they are not involved in crime to make money but have other legal ways to make money, we have gone far too soft on our kids and I keep saying that and I know nothing will happen and if anything does, it’s going to be even more soft law if you possibly can make it any more, you remember when you was young you must have got a clip around the ear etc, I don’t think it done you any harm except probably done you somewhat good if anything!!!!!!!

This documentary made me very uneasy. I found the interviewer rather disrespectful and patronising.The filming seemed to focus mainly on the dreary side of life, even the lighting was consistently sombre. As though the film makers were determined to create an aesthetic that conveyed a financially and spiritually poverty stricken community.
I am not jewish, but some time ago I used to go to an all women's gym, which was frequented by many young women from this community. I was struck by their vivacity, strong personalities, joyous sense of humour, all of which were hidden by their wigs and austere clothing. I am always impressed by the children when I see them out and about; the older ones always taking good care of the younger ones.
I understand that the the film makers were restricted in their access (especially to women) but I think they could have found ways to give a more rounded picture of a community that few people know much about. In fact I think they should have seen it as a responsibility in a world where anti-Semitism is a reality.
this is in fact an extremely hilarious documentary. from the baby sprawling on the floor, to the camera zooming in on the baby girls' faces as the narrator says ''circumcision''......maybe its the inherent bias in the camera angles but it seems so funny. even the title is funny
Its not for everyone but to have a community like this is beautiful

Quote of the week!
He definitely saved all that drug money must be living like a king
I'm not Orthodox but I live in an Orthodox neighborhood outside Philadelphia. When they asked how unusual Samuel was, he's REALLY unusual. I don't know any Jews who even do drugs besides myself. It's wonderful he could hang onto his faith so long; prisons tend to lean towards an extreme and devout brand of Christianity. Everyone is a Christian or Muslim until they get out, that is.
Look up Dr Browns testimony on youtube drug addict up the wazoo

Living in New York I’ve never thought the hascidic community to be this open and casual and relatable

In a community where every man looks identical Samuel is fighting for his own identity. He wears the shoes and shirts he wants that make him happy. If he wants to wear perfume it’s not a crime. Don’t know how long he will last living in clone town.
Him saying "pigs milk" told me everything I need to know about their traditions..

It demonstrates the intense drive to go beyond the expected rule. A wig is enough, a kerchief is enough. But both really means "I'm seriously following our tradition". It is all a show. All of it. If you don't follow rules you get into trouble or worse kicked out.

From 12 a girl is considered a women, that sent shivered down my spine
That is absolutely so creepy. And the fact that woman who described that hadistic law, said she had her daughters wear tights from aged 3 is weird as heck.
@@Lara-xu3ycwell isn’t it better to keep our daughters away from the prying eyes of paedophiles?
FYI Girls generally begin to look for their match from 18-20 years old. At 12 a girl is responsible for herself observing Jewish law. At 13 for a boy as they mature slowly. It's not a sexual thing that they're considered adults. Even though it happens to be around the age a girl gets her period. It is about maturity to be self responsible for their Torah observance and the parents are no longer responsible for their children’s religious choices. From three is the age of chinuch, the age we start teaching children. Girls may also start lighting candles with their mums at that age for shabbos and boys get their first haircut, start wearing tzitzit and a kippah.
Read the Talmud. It is messed up
I have a funny feeling that Samuel is still delving into not-so-kosher things 😳
It's nice that he kept his faith while he was drug dealing.
Not sure how much he understood his faith with all his criminal activity and jumping bail on his parents. He's breaking commandments right and left! And the basic ones of honoring your parents, not stealing, and who knows what others!
This is why I can't take religious people seriously because it means nothing. They are doing bad things left right and centre alot of times worse than a non religious person, but claim to be better people. It's laughable
This is such a great and interesting series.
I love it when they put the plinky plonky music on and do the funny dancing in the weird hats.

@8:51 No mention of the fact that drug dealing contributes to human suffering in the UK and around the world. Her main concern is how her community looks to outsiders.
Typical.
Who are you to tell someone what they can or cant do with their own body? If someone wants to do drugs thats THEIR choice. They are adults and can make those decisions themselves.
That's possibly a bit unfair. She thinks he brought his community into disrepute, and that is very likely because she believes he did something wrong. You're getting a 15 second snippet that the editor put into the final version, and forming a harsh judgment on the basis of a putative omission. Yes, she said he broke the law, but that doesn't mean she is indifferent to why the law exists.
I find him as self centered. He seems to want everything his way
I just started watching the documentary, so apologies if it’s later said in the documentary. The guy who picked him up and is talking to the interviewer is also a former convict, for money laundering, BBC made a documentary i guess few years before, he was younger back then, he was featured there as well.
The lawyer said he’s never met a Hasidic criminal, you should move to New Jersey.
Really enjoyed watching this a lot plus samuel's just so genuine and straight forward what a dude. 😁
I cannot take this person’s rehabilitation seriously he’s a twice divorced drug dealer with nowhere else to go for the time being
Mental health issues span every religion and social class.
Drug smuggling sounds a lot less dishonorable than evicting someone via use of dogs.
If they were to evict him, a physical confrontation after notice ,is enough. No need for dogs,if he gets violent then that's what police re for, but defend yourself accordingly.
What's legal and illegal doesn't necessarily correspond to what's right or wrong.
The dogs could kill or seriously injure the guy, while people can use measured force in the situation.
The dogs can also cause both damage to both your tenants and your property.
If it chewed his valuables or injured him , what then?
They didn’t ask how he was able to justify the harming, perhaps even murder, of the people who he sold the hard drugs to…
It was their free choice
@@mirjanapucarevic2105 shall we start peddling drugs amongst the children in your community and call it "free choice"?
There was no mention of where he stashed the huge amounts of money he made dealing deadly drugs in large amounts.

Who cares they are non jews?
now I remember where I heard about his first. Locked Up Abroad. He actually built a cocaine empire with help from a network of fellow Hasidic Jews. It was a Hasidic Smuggling Ring. Crazy stuff.
As he described it, he was just a drug mule. I hope you have good sources on this because otherwise it’s not okay to make such claims.
Nope, you have a nice imagination, but him being jewish doesn't automatically make it a "hasidic drug ring" or whatever you want to imagine. He is actually past that now and is holding a steady job.

this guy is an amazing actor, between stranger things and this. bret gelman really gets into the character
Jajajajaja I worked on an independent movie with gelman, he was kind of a dick.
This video is so educational to be able to learn about a religion and how to learn great video
I think he still has some contacts on the down low, if you understand what I mean.
Wow I feel bad for any girl that gets involved with a guy like that. How did no one comment about his reaction to his cell mate trying to kill his wife. This guy seems like a real narcissist. His brother seems like a good guy.
I found it alarming. He could of said we all make mistakes.
Unless it was just his sense of humour.
He should be totally ashamed to say such a thing!
You don't want to make an want of s self confesses attempted murderer. He was just being polite on camera
@@LearnMarketingChannel lighten up
No one's perfect. We all have our struggles.
this is an evil persons mentality
Mein struggle 😂

Jesus was sinless!
I thought this was a comedy sketch until I clicked the video.
He has a lot of luggage for someone leaving prison. I thought he was coming back from holiday
He was arrested at the airport so yea
he's a hasidic drug smuggler not a dealer,
who was he going to deal to? the title is misleading, just saying. this story shows that a strong community can reform their straying member if that stray values his/her community over their own wants, greed or whatever.
If he were a regular citizen in main stream U.S., his felony charge would have limited some avenues of employment & if he didn't have family or community that supported his reform, the temptation to fall back into crime & hanging out with other criminals would be a reality, he'd be in & out of prison & a burden on society, except for those employed in the judicial/incarceration/legal systems & affiliated institutions.
He was doing to deal with dealers...he was supplying dealers who in turn sold to various addicts, many of whom had innocent children.
@@rkgrant he was smuggling them into the country he was not dealing them on the ground or to his own community.
There's a difference between a dealer & a smuggler!?
@@3-Kashmir The smugglers are most guilty of horrible and ruinous devastation.
One thing I’ve never understood. If the community doesn’t value education as much, they do not go outside their community for work, nor does their business ventures cater for non-Jews, how on earth do they make money?!
How does one guy become a property developer and the guy who gave a flat to Samuel, how is he so “wealthy”. Where does the money come from?
I'm also curious about this
A lot of them are Jewelers or involved in the management of Mines or Factories. You don't need an education for that. But a lot of them live in poverty. It's simply dignified poverty because the community always takes care of its own. Religious Jews don't believe in charity. There is no word for charity in Hebrew. There is only Tzedaka which means justice. When we give to others we are not being generous. The money was given to us by God to make his world a better place. Because we love God and respect his laws, we are happy to do his will and help our fellow.
YOU’RE paying for it. Taxpayers.
“How does one guy become a property developer”. Since after high school you try to work in property development. After 10, 20 years you have a career in it. Not that complicated mate. How does anyone make money? Lmao
BS
Good luck to Samuel. I hope he's doing well.
Bravo man and well done, most welcome into the community
Covering your hair with hair crazy
True it’s cheating. Covering your hair is basically hijab
His body language says that he’s just not going to get caught
Seems a fun person to be around. A man of business, to get things done and going.
Samuel is a crook. Hiding behind faith and long black coats does not exonerate him.
The opening scene made me think this was a sketch, lol
Fascinating documentary.. Not to glamouren drug dealing but Samuel seem like a solid dude..
We are all just humans beings we are capable of doing bad things.
Samuel is a scumbag who helped to destroy peoples lives all for money
Woulnt call Samuel solid.
The guy can be quite a weasel.
The interviewer pressed him for all she could.
Samuel played this role of a very slippery angila. Even if he wanted to brag he would quickly bite his tongue.
The jewish community had to tolerate this insidious intrusion with cameras and crew and all.
Samuel sure go his cut from this documentary, then guy needs some income, right?
All in all Samuel showed that he is still corrupted (at the time of filming) and becoming cockier through the progression of the film as he "finds his ground".
Did you notice that they dont want their children to "see that" on television?
Samuel talked more about his sweets addiction than anything else.
He wasn’t even a dealer, he was literally just a fuckin mule who got taken advantage of by people multiple times in his life. He’s a good person.
@@konstantinNeo samuel does not care what the community will do if he takes part in the documentary, hes got nothing to lose. Hes already outcasted himself in certain ways.
His brother takes part in it because he sort of a spokesperson for the community.
Is there money in it. Maybe he, maybe not. Who cares.
Feel ya
