Pearl should have her own show called, "Pearls of Wisdom." She is so down to earth and calm and rational and kind. More Pearl, please!
Such a good idea. I am not Jewish and I've learned so much from her
Such a great idea!! To me, she’s the Oprah Winfrey of Hasidic Housewives!!
I'm not a Jew but I am drawn to her. She is an incredibly beautiful soul. I feel unconditional love for her. I'm so grateful to Frieda for having such a beautiful respectful wise friend like beloved Pearl. I'm learning so much from Pearl, I am in awe of her gentle non judgemental explanations of certain touchy topics.
Haha, I suggested that very thing a few months ago, when Pearl appeared the first time!
I completely agree. She's a very wise woman.
I wish one of you had mentioned adoption while discussing infertility. As a Jewish woman who was unable to have children, adoption solved our issue of childlessness. Hashem wants us to raise children. Adoption is an equally good alternative.
Amen!
Wow thats a big subject excellent question but if I am correct a man can divorce a woman if she can not give him children..it could be his problem....From what I know depends if the child is Jewish (mother Jewish) but if not the child has to convert/brought up Jewish....be good to find out more...
Thanks for sharing this. I wonder what kind of assisted reproduction is acceptable and what options are not.
I really appreciated that IVF/Reproductive fertility assistance was discussed. I am on the fence in support of it, although I am glad it is a choice for women/men who seek alternatives. I wonder if it really is safe long term and it does feel a little dystopian (embryo harvesting, etc.) but I can understand for certain individuals it may feel like a miracle option. I am exploring foster/adoption.
You just answered the question I was about to type.
Several years ago thru a business connection, my husband and I attended a Satmar wedding. I entered the exclusively women’s room knowing not a soul. The graciousness and warmth of the ladies who took me under their wing, seated me at their table and included me in their conversation and the entire event was incredibly wonderful, their kindness was just overwhelming. A most beautiful and moving experience.
I am crazy about this woman. I am addicted to listening to her. I can't get over her clarity. I also love how you interview her so well. Thank you so much.
Same!!
“They can’t tell me what to feel”
Such a powerful statement from Pearl. I don’t agree with everything she says or believes in, but I aspire to be so certain in my identity as she is.
Certainty comes from Torah knowledge. You too could have this type of certainty.
To be clear, I also do not agree with every single thing the Rebbitzin says, but no 1 agrees with anyone on everything. Your respect for the Rebbitzin differing from you in areas is truly something great. I like the way you stated your comment. I am trying to offer you a way of fulfilling your desire for certainty of identity. I hope my intention of replying with a positive, practical method comes through. Your desire is a good 1 and I hope that you attain it
Please tell Pearl how much respect & love we have for her! And, she could be a weekly guest & I’d never tire of listening to her!
I am a committed Christian and thus do not share Pearl's religious beliefs but what a beautiful woman; if more people would share her values and common sense, what a great world this would be. I bet everyone who watches this would love to have Pearl as a friend, she is just great!
@kevinkelly8037 - absolutely. I am Catholic and I’ve thought that very same thing. There’s just something about her….
I am a Christian and I Love this woman. 💛 Pearl is steadfast in her faith in God.
I love how Pearl says she doesn’t have a religion, but a way of life based on Torah. That is a very convicting statement to me as a Christian.
I struggled with primary and secondary infertility. I prayed a lot about it, but still it didnt happen. I remember sitting in church and seeing a large family across the aisle. i felt bitter, bitter with God, even. I remember i stood up to go to communion thinking i shouldnt feel that way going up to God, but it hurt so much. It was like at that moment, someone touched me and said "how do you know I am not grieving with you?" It was pretty amazing.
So the bit about God being apart of the fertility assistance really touched me. I agree, whole heartedly.
Also I ended up with 3 sons and I am grateful every day!
That’s Amazing.
I’m sorry for your pain. I’m glad G-d blessed you with children. My wife & I are moving that direction.
@@Noname-wi8xpp😮 6:09 😮
IVF is not holy and has nothing to do with God but the medical industrial complex. Don’t twist things to suit your worldly desires.
@@Noname-wi8xp Our faith is tested in oh, so many ways and as differently as people are different. God gives some women this test like Hannah in the Old Testament, or Anna, Mary’s mother in the New Testament. You obviously passed this test that God entrusted to you because you have three sons. God gives some women the test of breast cancer, other women get a test of whether or not to leave a physically abusive husband when there are children involved. The key is to surrender our wills to the will of the Heavenly Father who loves us. I Peter 4:12-19 states, “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you…” but to rejoice in that we are partaking of Christ’s suffering. Each of us, I suppose get tried to our limits of what we feel like we can endure.
@@tamararutland-mills9530 I’m guessing you responded to me and meant it for the original commenter.
I’m Jewish, and don’t have kids yet but I hope it brings comfort to the original commenter.
Have a great day.
As an Irish Christian lady who was raised in a Catholic home I thoroughly enjoy these videos! And I always take away at least one if not more Pearls of wisdom! May you always be blessed by God!🙏🏻🕊! Px
I’ve learned a lot about being a good Catholic from Pearl.
I too am Catholic and may not agree with Pearl on a lot but I admire her ability to express her Views and she's so charismatic She's an ideal guest
I am also a cradle catholic and I have Jewish origins in Sefarad (Spain) which always made me drawn to Judaism. Listening to Pearl makes me see the common grounds of our religions and the same God we believe in
Love these videos. I'm a Christian but I share so many of her ideas. I really love and admire the Jewish ability to be thankful every moment of the day. She is a Pearl of great price.
Thank you so much for this conversation. I admire how you gently asked provocative questions and how open and clear Pearl was about her beliefs. In an age of uncertainty there's something reassuring about an elder having such firm convictions, even if her views on the role of women are uncomfortable for me to sit with. There's mutual respect and trust between you and it makes it such a pleasure to watch the conversation unfold. I look forward to part 2.
Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment.
Frieda: We talk at least once a week, right?
Pearl: Hopefully two 😄...awwww...you two! It's my favorite part! Also I laughed so much at you big knackers! Lastly, your editing is gorgeous and very helpful. For quite some time I didn't know what Pearl exactly had in mind when she referred to Torah. Its much more clear now. As always a delightful interview beautifully done and an amazing opportunity for all of us! Thank you!
I’d love a pearl to speak to once twice a week
This moment of pure Jewish grandmother guilt. I felt like I should call my gran after… it was as if she placed the words in Pearls mouth😂
Very insightful Conversation, but I'm 47 and didn't want children and didn't have them. I'm fulfilled fully ❤
I’m Jewish, but my husband is Hindu & we got married in court in India. I was presented with a Hindu “ketubah”… it is also a marriage contract & it also has the responsibilities of the husband only. So, I just wanted to throw in there that there are such things in other cultures. ♥️
Interesting and what responsibilities are listed there?
@@n.batshevay.7009 He must provide for her, care for her needs, I especially like where it says, “Provide for her all the comforts” 🥰
I am a committed born again Christian and absolutely love Pearl and her values. Thank you for the work you’ve done to create such beautiful interviews.
My son also was drawn to heavy metal lifestyle and I too pray daily for his return to the Lord.
Oh I enjoyed that so much. Pearl is adorable and so wise. For someone who says she isn’t educated, she has a phenomenal vocabulary and depth of knowledge on religion and society. Great video. Thank you both!
I'm grateful to Pearl for answering questions publicly. Clearly, her faith is strong and unlikely to waver. I see the next episode is set to premiere on Monday, and I'm very excited to hear more, especially after Pearl's comment about reading every book about the Holocaust. Thank you again, Frieda, for such a well composed and edited interview!
I would LOVE more Pearl! She has such a depth and breadth of wisdom to share with the world. A beautiful woman to look up to ❤
I love how she is unapologetic. Why must we make other societies to feel like they should have to be like us? Look how our society has fallen apart and we think we are happy. What about the children and how they have suffered in our “modern” society.
Frida, your conversations with Pearl are so enlightening and enjoyable. How awesome to be welcomed in and for us to meet this amazing woman! Thank you! I am finding my way back to my roots in Judaism after growing up secular and basically having all sense of it scrubbed from my life. So these insights that are freely shared, frank honest answers that are given, and this peek into the mysterious and special people who I am a part of is the best!
I simply cannot get enough of you and Pearl Freida. So lovely of Pearl to let us all in and share her world and with you enabling this Frieda, thank you
Greetings from Ireland. Pearl is content and happy in her beliefs and shares her wisdom with everyone who wishes to listen. My Catholic faith in God teaches me similiarly to what Pearl is saying now about her beliefs. God bless you all.
I'm so excited, I adore, Pearl! She's like a sage, I glean so much wisdom from her.
Bravo for limiting access to the internet. It’s wise to limit and filter what floods the eyes and mind. It’s good to acknowledge that we are impacted by what we see and should be judicious about what we allow to pass into our consciousness.
It’s so nice to listen to someone who knows the value of life, of womanhood, of the vital role mothers play in the good of society. Shalom Pearl. You are a blessing to this world.
Women who do only what the men dictate are not real whole women. The society is not healthy without empowered women shaping the society.
Thanks, so much, Frieda & Pearl for a wonderful Q&A. I look forward to all your future get togethers.
You two brilliant gals model something so beautiful here in human communication / interaction. A counselor used a lazy 8 resting on it's side once with me if you can picture that. She drew the lines of the crazy 8 pattern over and over again. And commented on the flow -- She brought it up once during a discussion about communication --- the way our interactions should be. The roots found in mutuality. A gentle weaving back and forth of turn taking, careful listening, reaching for clarification, respect, and responding. I just loved this interview. Thank you
I’m a Brazilian atheistic journalist and it’s very interesting to know more about such a different way to live. Brazil has few jews and almost none orthodox. Things Pearl say sound from other world for me. We fell sorry for each other, for sure!
Thank you for not only this follow up with Pearl, but your videos more broadly that highlight some of the values of this important community. I do not pretend to understand the nuances of Hasidism, but my understanding of our country's invaluabble diversity is enriched by it. Good Shabbes.
Thank you and gut shabbes!
I am SO excited to see this video at last! It's fascinating hearing Pearl speak of the Torah in this way. The indigenous Maori of New Zealand (where I'm from) have a similar concept called 'Tikanga' which literally means custom. It isn't religious per say, but lays out the ceremonial roles and responsibilities for women and men. Men are not allowed to perform the karanga (call) to welcome visitors, for example, because this is a women's role. As Pearl puts it so well, there is no 'envy' between groups. Obviously, this clashes with modern feminism and the idea that all roles should be open to all genders. Personally, I find this super interesting to explore because no belief system or ideology is above critique.
I love this wounderfull woman, she says she's not educated but she reads and has so much knowledge. I love the fact she believes in brining children up to be good human beings, theyvare respectful. Pearl nreminds me of my Auntie Florence, who was so wise a Doctor but had children, the love and respect I have for women like Pearl is strong. Hassidisim does move with the times and Pearl explains this.
Thank you Frieda. You handled this Q&A so gentle and so beautifully in such a respectful manner. Some of it is very hard to understand in today’s world especially for me who is torn between a lot of these issues on a personal level. I Love so much what you do ❤
That is so kind.
Wonderful interview with Pearl. Thank you for bringing it to us. I’m fascinated by Hasidism and Judaism and really appreciate your channel. Thanks and keep up the good work!!❤
Thank you so very much. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to bring Pearl to my channel; it's been such a joy!
Pearl is back!! Never clicked on a video so fast!
These moments we get to spend with Pearl are my very favorite. I wonder if she knows how much she is filling up our spiritual buckets? Her joy is absolutely contagious. Thank you for continuing to share Pearl with us.❤Blessings and love to you both.
I respect and admire Pearl. She has a fine mind and great kindness. I’m her age and enjoy her wit! Thank you for introducing us to Pearl. Be well and keep on keeping on as you are running a wonderful channel!! ❤️ Suzy
I've been looking forward for weeks to your next interview with Pearl. 🎉
What a wonderful interview. Frieda is such a loving and wise woman. I am Christian but respect the Jewish faith and admire Frieda so much. God bless both you and Frieda!
Freida is a lovely woman. She really is.
@@bibigems she supports mysogyny and she doesn't tell the truth about women and Judaism: what about Deborah, a Judge and a priestess? What about Miriam, a priestess and a leader? Also: in no place in the entire old testament it says that women shall cover the body or the head, nor that there are jobs for women and for men. Also the1st woman out of the rib of the 1st human = Adam, it is a Christians Greek typo. The word Sela in the whole old testement means "side", not "ribe"
Dear, I think you meant Pearl. :)
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn Hi Frieda, I really like your videos and your extremely edifying videos on the Hassidic community. You are so impressive and yes I agree Pearl is a lovely lady. Will you be accepting more questions to ask her from your viewers? Thank you for your channel.
@@FriedaVizelBrooklyn yes I did mean Pearl but you are also very lovely and I admire and appreciate you as well, so saying Frieda was not such a bad mistake to make. 🥰
Pearl is so popular because her basic values and her love for her family transcendent all the major religions. And, boy!, did I have to change my prejudice about ultra-orthodox Hasidic women! I always thought they were cloistered in their homes, never to be seen or heard of, never speaking their mind, and being virtually alienated from the rest of the world. Pearl certainly is totally "with it", she's taking no prosoners, speaks her mind, and is secure and self-possessed in her convictions. She totally is a "woman of the world", both traditional and modern at the same time! Frieda, you chose a wonderful spokeswoman for the Hasidic community.
Pearl you are so amazing !! I am already looking forward to the "next" episode while enjoying this one immensely !! Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your faith, your views and your humor !! Thank you Frieda for finding Pearl and for introducing her to us. 🙏🙏🌻🌻
Everyone needs a Pearl in her life! Even though I am personally Catholic, I greatly enjoy her wisdom and wish I had a "Pearl" to talk to!
Absolutely. Same here… She reminds me of my Auntie from Rhode Island.
Pearl is so lovely and eloquent. I truly enjoy listening to her, it’s like getting a big hug.
Ms. Pearl has inspired me so much. I admire the love and passion she has for the creator. I hope I am as fulfilled in my golden years, as she is. Thank you for telling her beautiful story. It is so powerful, and I will never forget this series. Thank you for sharing Ms. Pearl's story.
❤️
I could listen to Pearl everyday. It doesn't even bother me that we have differences of belief and values; she just has such security, clarity and piece of mind and such a loving way of expressing it that it's impossible not to pay attention. A lot of division and conflict in this world could be erased we ALL had this ability to communicate with one another.
I love your interview with Pearl. What a lovely woman. You can tell she speaks from her heart. Love everything you post!
Aww, I'm glad to hear Pearl share such wisdom. She actually answered a question I was asking the Lord in prayer. Please share more Mrs. Pearl!
Please have Pearl on more - she is such a treasure and I enjoy listening to her and her wisdom! WOW!! I love, love, love this woman. Thank you Pearl and Frieda!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The world loves you Pearl. ❤ I my heart and in my nashema I have adopted you as my hasidish Bubbeh. Warm greetings from Canada
Frieda - Love your channel ✅ Thank you for bringing Pearl back she’s a wise woman. 😊
I'm a Christian and I would be friends with Pearl and I have such respect for her!
As her name implies, Pearl is a gem. She explains with such calm conviction her world, an outlook and way of life that is antithetical to mine. I could listen to her for hours. More Pearl, please!
Thank you Frieda for these great Q and A with Pearl. It's been a wonderful eye opening to the Hasidic world through her eyes. Wishing you and Pearl all the best. 😀
I love listening to Pearl’s wisdom, and I’m a 69 year old Christian.
Pearl has a sophistication that we usually associate with education: she validates her information with heart felt clarity and experiential knowledge. She is my kind of teacher and mentor. my family just found out that my German grandmother was Jewish. We had many Jewish traditions mixed with Christian. We thought it was because she worked for Jewish families until they were taken away before the war. She had her own grief at the loss of these families as they treated her better than her own family, they took her on as one of their own children. My mothers DNA shows she is 1/2 Jewish. I have been a hospice and cancer nurse for 40 years and could nvr have children. I always felt that i could care and serve the children of God if i could not have any of my own. Thank you, Pearl and Frieda
I enjoy these interviews so much! I am a Christian but, I am interested in learning about the Jewish faith. Pearl is such a great example of pure faith with much knowledge to go along with it!
Wonderful to hear you both in conversation. Happy Tu B'Av!
Our very favorite collab, we're ready!
I just love Pearl and watch all of your videos with her the most because she is a very wise woman. Although I’m not Jewish or religious at all, I can tip my hat to her wisdom and communication of what Hasidic Womanhood is about. Her pride in being at the center of the home which is her temple. Thanks for revisiting her and I hope she continues inviting you back because we’ll be watching. She is a great ambassador of Hasidism.
It is soothing to listen to Pearl! Thank you Frieda for this conversation!
I love your videos with pearl her insight and wisdom are very appreciated as a mystic of a different background! Know she is spreading knowledge and compassion by showing people women of all age and backgrounds can be vivacious and full of life!
More then the vast wisdom of Pearl, I love seeing your love for another, immense respect and kindness you show in every conversation. What a gain for both of you!
I love Pearl.
I just found your RUclips and the Hasidic world is fascinating.
Your reporting is thorough, no drama, just the facts.
Thank you.
Oh my gosh, I love Pearl. She's so beautiful and wise. I'm Catholic, but I love the Jewish faith so much; it's so beautiful! Thank you Frieda for bringing us the wisdom of Pearl.
The entire Bible is a Jewish book, I love their culture so much as well ♥️
Same here
look up seven noahide laws
@@alongthenarrowroad8854 no. The Christian canon not, its Greek and Greek inspired. There is no "bible". Jews have their own scripture
The Tanakh is a series of Jewish books including the Torah & it is these same books that Christians study alongside the New Testament which was written by 100 % Jewish writers. Some Jewish people call the Old Testament the Bible as well.
She’s a wonderful lady and a joy to watch.
I can’t get enough of Pearl. Such wisdom, emuna & pure joy.
This woman is a gem for sure. I tell my kids everyday Mother's Day and Father's Day isn't one day of the year, its everyday and I am not of the same religion as Pearl.
I was raised as a reform Jew. We honored all of the holidays in our home, followed the traditions and customs, went to temple for most holidays. I went to Hebrew school through high school, I was bat mitzvah. I went to a majority Jewish university. Then I made a friend who was Orthodox. Until one day we were out shopping and she started telling me about something she saw on a shelf and then said to me, “oh you don’t know because you’re not Jewish.” So, I don’t know that I believe that Jewish people who are more devout don’t look down on those that aren’t.
I’m looking forward to watching Pearl telling it the way it is 😂 I grew up in Williamsburg, Bklyn,too My great great grandfather was a rabbi in Spain and his boys moved to NY. Yes, they wore pious Can’t wait to hear interesting questions I’m in 😂😂 Saludos from New Tampa,Florida ❤ Pearl is so right! Train the mind to thank Hashem ❤
Pearl reminds me of how my 88 year old nana describes her mother. Nana was raised orthodox but has been secular her entire adult life. Her mum (my great-grandmother, who died when I was a baby) was orthodox her whole life, but by all descriptions was a very intelligent and learned woman who had plenty of interests in the secular and even non-Jewish world as well.
The more Peal explains things, the more I love her!!!! ThankYou!!!!!!!
I have huge respect for the Jews now that I’ve watched a few of your videos. My drill instructor from Alaska Military Youth Academy grew up in the community/is Jewish and she took a huge liking toward me (I’m also a woman) she wanted to show me the aspects of what she followed, silly me didn’t retain much information, but now I remember what she was trying to show me. She let me blow her goat horn too!! I got it on the first try and I swear, she jumped up and down with joy. I miss hee very much and I hope she’s doing well.
Thank you DI Linda Dudley ❤ I hope to find you again soon once I come home!!
The torah doesn't say women have to shave their heads, just cover them. That's a decision by made by some rabbis. Also, isn't there a prayer men say to thank God for having not made them a women? Why is that necessary? Pearl is fascinating. I appreciate this window into her life.
@@k10036 Thank you for your reply.
I think women get a raw deal in all religion,,,, make you wonder 🤔
a meaningful and beautiful conversation between Frieda and Pearl. It was heartwarming to hear the reference to speaking one, to twice a week.
I absolutely love Pearl.
I support anyone who wants to live there own lives with good morals and values no matter what religion you may be. ❤
Thank you SO MUCH! I find myself in tears listening to Pearl. You are a wonderful interviewer ☺️
Please send Pearl my best from Cleveland, Ohio. I am inspired by her. She has a huge fan club.
Pearl's faith is what strikes me the most. With her faith comes a solid base from which she sees and interacts with the world. Everything she shares with us brings that faith alive to me. Pearl shows us a life well lived. High in honor, insight, and acceptance. We struggle to find a place in this world. Pearl shows us a people who have no doubt of their place in this world. They have created a world of order within this world of chaos. Their life revolves around God, not just hit and miss. I just can't say enough about the respect and love I have for Pearl and the life she has shown me. Can't thank you enough, Frieda. for bringing us along. Such a blessing.
The idea of" equality ", that woman need to prove they are equal and the same as men, rather than accept that G-d has CREATED THEM DIFFERENTLY to actually fit different roles in society, has created the biggest chaos in the world....from there it has blossomed into every single kind of immorality known to man. The idea that there is no system to creation and its all about FEELING THIS OR FEELING THAT rather than a coordinated system in nature to serve all of humanity & mankind in different ways...that has brought on our downfall.....as we are right now down that slippery slope of Sodom & GEMORRAH and who knows what else awaits! Men are MEN ..Women are women. They are not equal to anyone or anything. They are different. Just like a lemon is bitter and serves to make things tangy, so is sugar to make things sweet. They dont compete with each other in their role. They serve different purposes.The chicken and the cow dont fight for superiority either. One gives milk and steak, the other lays eggs.and reproduces chickens. They know why they were created. So do we. We dont feel inferior, our job as mothers is a lofty role and experience. Why in the world would I want a mans responsibility when I have mine? It is a PRIVILEGE to be who we are because it is G-ds will that we be THAT.
Oh I love that you get to spend time with Pearl and share it with us. More Pearl Please!!! Can you plan a Channuka special episode for later this year with Pearl?please? 😊😊😊 ooohhhh I just love her ❤❤❤
What an amazing interview 😊 Pearl is full of wisdom!! Please have her back on your channel!! Greetings from Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦
As a mom of 5 , I appreciate the way Pearl describes the role of the mother in a family. I’ve really enjoyed listening to Pearls insights! Thanks Frieda
I love how eloquently but also simply she answers the questions. For a woman of not much official schooling I find her extremelly wise, smart, educated and informed.
That was so nice. I love her wisdom and yet, she's so real. I love the Jewish community, even though I'm not part of it. Thank you to you both. Wishing you a great week. 🥰
Pearl is such a gift! I appreciate her perspective.
I’m Catholic. I do enjoy and appreciate Pearl’s wisdom.
I was just going to write the same thing! Pearl is like my Catholic grandmother who went to Mass every day. I love her!
I just love the way pearl saying it like it is with no guilt or apology for us being Jewish for that. I just love it and I gave her. ישר כוח ❤
Thank you Freida for sharing Pearl with the world. The joy she feels in life is exuded right through the camera and its so clear she cares so much about you too ❤ she brings nachas to youtube.
Pearl is such a joy, she brings out the beauty in you as a woman. That is the light of Hashem. We need more Pearl's in the world, that God for her. Baruch Hashem.
Looking forward to hearing again from Pearl. She’s lovely.
You can tell that Pearl is a wonderful woman. She is full of faith, loving, intelligent, composed, and with good answers to these questions.
One question I have after viewing this is what are the 7 commandments she mentions for non-Jews? I am a Christian and was always taught 10 commandments. Thank you Frieda, for making your videos. You are a truely gracious and sensitive interviewer. Always learn something new from you.
Blessings to all!
The history, the wisdom, the language- I'm so grateful to learn so much on your channel and from Ms Pearl. Thank you so much, Frieda! Your channel is such a gift.
I love your interviews with Pearl she is an amazing woman 🏴💕💕
I enjoy watching your channel. I’m technically raised Catholic (Catholic school until 8th grade, secular high school and law school) consider myself agnostic secular humanist now. I am interested in all cultures and respect religions held voluntarily that refrain from emotional and/or physical abuse.
You shine light on a world that is unknown to most of us, and help make the rest of us see there is nothing to fear but ignorance.
Love your channel
Thank you my friend. I share many of your outlooks to the world...
I just LOVE Pearl. She truly is the pearl of great price! God bless you and everyone in the Jewish community. I love your content.
I love listening to Pearl speak about her life and her beliefs. ❤
Pearl is delightful to listen to-very thoughtful, eloquent, and witty. Her worldview is very different from my own, but her joy in life is clearly evident and offers a nice contrast to the darker stories that come out about/from Hasidic communities. Following on from her perspectives on secular Jews and converts, I would be interested to hear her thoughts on mixed marriages, ie between Jews and non-Jews. I assume it is not something that really occurs within the Satmar community, but I wonder what they think about it.
Giving someone else a platform to express herself -- I think you have proved how well the internet can be used!
You two are magic together. Thank you for more lovely content,
Pearl is realy a jewel. She is so confident and joyful/ great full for every second of her life. She has a valid point! More Pearl wisdom please!!
Thanks for all the good content. I especially love the Pearl videos. I could listen to her for hours.
I hope one day I’m able to be as happy with my life as Pearl is with hers.
