Noor , the most famous tour guide in Afghanistan, I’m glad he was able to get out with his family when the situation got too dangerous
Thank G-D he's out
Dude I saw him and I thought that I recognized him from yes theory , guys a legend thank gd he’s safe
I’m an Religious Education teacher, and one of the things that helped me develop my Knowledge of Judaism is your videos, looking at some of the interesting traditions and events in the Orthodox Jewish life.
Brilliant videos, I always find them eye opening in some way or another!
Thank you so much! Your message means the world to me
Thank you, Shloime. Such a sad and poignant sight…the place seems subdued in so many ways, but it was nice to see the boys playing ball, perhaps a measure of childhood’s joy remains.
Well said
Thanks Shloime both my parents are from Afghanistan
thank you so much! rare beautiful visiuals of a forgoten place where my family came from! My Father ABRAHAM was born exactly there, in Herat. watching the narrow marekt streets and the ABANDONED synagogue where he must have visited in his childhood was for me - as someone who grew up on the knees of memories and legends - a very emotional experience. pitty the tour was short. i would like to see more of Herat. dont take it personally SHloime- better to turn the camera more to the views outside rather to concentrate on you : we saw you already, nice fellow,...and we would like to see what you SEE and we cant. waiting for more! yossi, vilnius
Thank you for sharing Shlomie , our entire family were from Afghanistan, I was born in Kabul, both my father and grandfather were Herati , Im sure this is the Shul where they both had their Bar Mitzvahs. I was fortunate to visit Kabul in July 1977 for my cousins Bar Mitzvah , we never made it to Herat sadly. Im sharing this video with all the family. Thanks and Hashem watch over you on all your travels .
Shloime thank you for sharing what we would otherwise never be able to see. You are so appreciated!
Thank You Llisel! I appreciate that
@@ShloimeZionce please take care of yourself. Your mental health especially, can’t be easy taking in so much despair. If you ever come to Northern California I will be in the first row!
Amazing that the synagogue and houses are still standing after a thousand or more years. I would have thought the synagogue would have been destroyed by now. The architecture and tile work is very beautiful. Thank you, Schloime, for these rarely, if ever, seen places! Too bad the man wouldn't let you film in the old Jewish cemetery though I can understand.
Really enjoyed the video and the Synagogue was very beautiful
Thank you very much!
Prayers for safe travels Shloime!
Thank you my friend
I enjoyed this video and the music.
I've seen the tour guide on Drew Binksy stuff too. I find him very interesting and a calming soul.
Cool, thanks!
Thank you so much for another very interesting and touching report of a place I have not known, that it exists. I really hope and pray for peace and freedom for every single human being all over the world.💙🙏❤️
Thank you Sandra!
Thank you Shoilme, I learn so much more about the world through your videos. Noor is also a great person and really glad he and his family are safe. I just heard more assistance as supposed to get to the Afghan people. Thank you for sharing with us.
This is my family's Shul for generations! My great grandfather was the Chief rav of Afghanistan and lived in Herat!
Thanks for sharing!
Really, your grandpa from Herat, your are Herati, I am too
Amazing images Shloime.
Thank you! I really appreciate that
Shloime. Thank you so much for allowing us to see the wonderful old Jewish sites! Todah Rabah!
Thanks Shloime. I never knew about these Jewish sites in Afghanistan. The shul is beautiful and it's so sad to see.
Wow! Stunning video!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video and interesting footage Shloime, a brave soul traveler…
Thanks brother!
nice video shloime!
Thanks!
Great video buddy
amazing work
👍 Nice videos! Beautiful architecture on those awesome synagogues!! Stay safe! G-d bless!
Thanks! Yes the Synagogue was beautiful
Peace unto those who seek the light!
Thank you for the hope!
The background soundtrack is so beautiful.
I love these videos!!! Just saw your channel today from you giving tour to Peter in Boro Park and chaveirim last year. Your channel is so cool!! I wish I could travel the world!! Are you still in Afhghanistan?
My grandfather was an Afghan jew. Thank you for this video Shloime
this is soooo awsom!!
It looks like the mosque at Samarkand that had been a synagogue at one point.
Wow, great footage, very enlightening! Shlome I noticed Your payot are gone…new look!
Thanks! My Peyot are hidden. Not gone
Thanks shlome nice video 👍
Thanks Mark! Good to see you here
Salam bro Love from Afghanistan ❤ 😊 🇦🇫
Thank you for the beautiful travel video. I am happy you had an opportunity to make this journey and visit there. Sad to think that such visits are close to impossible now. Afghanistan is in a worse situation than ever, it seems.
I remember my grandmother telling me about her visit(s) to Afghanistan. The worst thing she had to complain about was that there were a lot of hippies (tourists) there in the mountains smoking weed! I'm not sure when she was there, possibly the 60s. Such a tragedy that so many beautiful countries have been cursed by the insanity of humans. I would love to visit Afghanistan some day and have hope for better times ahead.
@@happydillpickle That's good to know. Afghanistan has been in the news for obvious other reasons for so long that I tend to forget it was once also a popular destination for Western hippies who just wanted to live a carefree life away from Western society and were known for their drug-taking. I heard that some of them wanted to go to India and decided to stay in Afghanistan. Some were also kicked out of India for their behavior.
@@norbertfranz2702 Yes: it's such a tremendous tragedy. I'd prefer hippies on drugs any day over war and destruction.
I am a Afghan you are very wrong; after the Crusadors terrorized my country 20 years and want implement SexDrugsRockRoll above my country, the crusaders of NATO flew like coward dogs. We say no to : SexDrugsRockRoll for our society and children; and God Almighty give us the strength to have success against the crusaders❤❤ Alhamdulliah Afghanistan is very safe now to travel
I really love your videos, they’re super underrated! It would be interesting for you to visit maybe a country like Italy which actually has a lot of Jewish history no one really covers!
Thank you. Stay safe .
Thanks, you too!
Thanks Shlomie for the great vid ! What’s the music as you drive the streets ?
Very cool and informative video, Shloime. Has that synagogue stayed intact?
Thank you! As far as I know, it has
You are amazing!
You are!
As a fellow Jew the resemblance of our Semitic cousins in Afghanistan cannot be denied
Afghans aren't semitic speakers. I know wbat you mean though
@@QuranRecitation-xo8vm Muslims haven't won a war in 100s of years
@@QuranRecitation-xo8vm Lol.
Obviously you are content, because obviously you could have been made into chop suey, I'm grateful you are content because I heard what I heard in Hebrew, but if indeed this was filmed a handful of days ago,total respect, kol hakavod, once again by chance just stumbled upon one video and I already subscribed
He filmed it like 3 years ago. This video is 1 of several in Afghanistan.
thank you for haring your adventures with us! how do you connect with your guides and find out where to visit, and when is it safe to visit? who protects and cares for these sites?
You and I might disagree (with civility) on a certain issue, but today (to me) you have shown you have the biggest balls in the world. Most Muslims wouldn't even visit Afghanistan when the last regime was in power but you went when the Taliban, a group not known for warm welcome came into power
Amazing
Very nice.
Hello Shloime
Thank you for very nice video if you’re still in Afghanistan can you please make a video from Sinegar in Kabul Afghanistan
Thank you 🙏
Amazing job, how are you able to film without issues from people? GoPro camera?
Wow. I'm very impressed that you went. Thank you for doing this. My afghan refugee friends seem mostly unfamiliar with jews
Praying for health/safety
Thank You Tina!
Enthralling, Shloime! Can you remind us what year this was filmed?
This was September of 2019
Lovely documentary..... Shame you didn't film a bit more of that shul.....
Thanks! It really is a shame
thanks for posting to remind us of better times, it still breaks my heart on what the Taliban are doing
Meeting your long lost cousins from Bani Israel. Pashtuns are incredible people.
they are not pashtun, they are tajik bukharian jews that lived in afghanistan, they speak farsi
hey dude, nice video and i'm quite intrigued to see what you indulge in being a Hasidic jew.. interesting to see that i being Pashtun can say that u look 200% Pashtun. i have heard that the Pashtuns were 1 of the 12 lost tribes of Israel, God knows best
That's a beautiful synagogue. It's sad that there are no Jews there. 😓
True. Maybe someday the Jews will return
@@ShloimeZionce hopefully not...no reason and no point
@@svietka202 that's not correct. No reason and no point are the wrong words to choose
@@soniat4895 Which words would be correct from the perspective of your expertise in so many matters?
How does eating food while travelling work? Some of these places don’t seem like they’d have kosher food and I’m really curious how you work around that
If the place doesn't have Kosher food, I bring it along with me 😀
Hello Mr. Shlomi, how I loved the synagogue. It is built in the traditional Afghan style and is unique in its kind. I think that any circular indicating that the graves are for Jews has been removed. You know that the country since the eighties has been ruled by Taliban gangs, and so that the cemetery is not exposed to vandalism , any religious relic is removed..
You a brave man to go there .
We need more videos
Thanks! I'm trying to make as many as possible
So crazy!
Totally astonished on that they let video cameras in
Wow shloime you actually famous he was the same tour guide like yes theory had
Once again I am the one that was addicted to your velcro donut bag, and that is the first video I just happened to stumble on but watching more of your videos , you are not the boss because trust me you're not the boss over there but reality is is that they gave you the kavod to explore these places, so who are you, Jay Leno's son or Conan. You want to laugh, trust me lock turning in Old City with a hookah
Do you do meetups?
Could you explain why you hid your payot? This may be a dumb question but I do not know the history but I'm very interested.
Jewish 2000 History of Afghanistan 🇦🇫🇮🇱❣️
Fascinating Jewish History
What is the music you play towards the end, at 12:40
ruclips.net/video/hve-8uPcvgg/видео.html
When was this vid shot?
Are there any records which year the synagogue got abandoned? In the 70's or so?
If you like Persian architecture, go to Iran and visit Khomeini tomb. It's really shiny.
Can you print the prayer in English that you say before you eat or drink something?
What is the beautiful music
Amazing! SheHakoah!
Hey,how do you get kosher food over there? And do you think it’s safe for me to go to turkey,I have an open ticket to Istanbul and want to get a hair transplant (it’s much cheaper over there for that lol) but am afraid as a religious Jew... do you think I have anything to worry about?
They didn`t do anything to you. If some people are not agreeing with the politics in israel that doesnt mean they hate you and wants to kill jewish people or because u are looking religious. They would be more suprised instead of something else.
Swear I felt like it was a setup every corner and every stairwell...😰😱
Was this recently?
When was this?
cold you do preage and others Russia when it is safe???
🐐🐐🐐
🙏 😇
Plz, do come to visit Indian admistered Kashmir, I will help you explore many historical sites and beauty of Kashmir
It felt stressful and yet you were blessed with a good guide . 🙏🇮🇱♥️🇺🇸
I hope you get back to Afghanistan once again and talk to Taliban rather than making assumptions about them being terrorist organisation,
Do you have to pay them to allow you to do this?
I was surprised to see the Afghan flag still up. I thought the Taliban replaced the Afghan flag!!!

Salam and Shalom from Valahia 🌳 and România 🇷🇴.
I invit you to Islam achi.
The only way to G-D is across islam
Kosher kielbasa?
G-d bless.
Russ
It's delicious
@@ShloimeZionce I was wondering if kosher meat is available there? Is Halal acceptable? (I’m kosher vegetarian BTW). 😊
What is that guy doing at 525
No idea. I guess that’s what you call bouncing off the walls
First time ever seeing a frum jew eat a kielbasa for breakfast! LOL
One cemetary in Afghanistan thats over 3000 years old
יישר כוח המשפחה שלי מהעיר הזאת
בשמחה!
זה צולם לאחר השתלטות הטליבאן?
2019
1st!
Ya man!
Mi dispiace mi dispiace per ora non posso fare di più appena possibile tornerò da sirad e alla chiesa anglicana per ora non posso lo farò sono sola Simone no. Verrà non più sono solo io mi dispiace
How you went there as a Jew is beyond comprehension!
He hid that and blended in. He's looks like he's from there fr. Just light skinned heavy guy.
Ppl in the region don’t have issues with Jews but with Zionists
He is absolutely looking like a heavy taliban guy😅
So, this footage was from before the Taliban new rule? Hope you can visit again under the new leadership in kabul, from Qatar
Shloime your payos in there hats*?
And verry good vidéo m’y friend
Yes they are
Thank You!
@@ShloimeZionce very Nice and its me i messageFB you at 1 week-end hhaha i make payos for m’y personal shabbat ! 🇨🇦
You look very Afghan
Shloime, I'm curious to find out why so many countries have invaded and occupied Afghanistan. What is the reason? There must be something there they want. Tell your audience, Shloime! What do you know?
Well the conditions are perfect for growing opium as we know, so lucrative a trade for not only illegal drugs trade but also pharmaceutical industry? It seems absurd that would be all, mind you.
It's land about which there are many prediction and is land of sons of Issac (as).

Sorry 5:25
