Here I am watching this again during our lockdown, and as in 2015, Amir's comments continue to go straight to the heart. עמיר היקר, אתה בן אדם מקסים. כל טוב, שתהיה בריא!
Ya agree with u ... I am touched when he said this is the only place where they dont call me jew but just Amir ... The sense of belongness which they dont get elsewhere
Amir at the end is the star of the whole video. Here, in Israel, I am just Amir. Not Amir the Jew or Amir the Israeli. Just plain Amir. How sweet and wise. And that is exactly the beauty of Israel. We can just be who we are.
John Doe Amir is also Hebrew. It can mean either treetop or a bundle (of wheat), depending on how it’s spelled. Yes, a name can have origins in multiple languages.
Harold Goodman They don’t have white people living in Israel. Right. White people cant go there. Right. So stop with the racist bull. I have family that is Jews. But I’m not going to do this racist stuff about white people. I won’t do it.
The last interview, the one with Amir went straight to my heart. What a wonderful man with such beautiful answers. Yes, that is exactly how I felt the 8 years I lived in Israel. I was just Mark...well Mark the immigrant, but not Mark (the Jew)
Because a very evil, mean boss screamed at all employees and NO ONE screams at me and plays cruel mind games. My blood pressure went up to 160/100 so I walked out. At 59 it would not have been easy to find a job. It could have taken a day, a month, 6 months a year...I had a mortgage and other expenses. I came back to the States three years ago, and found a great job immediately, in my field. The apartment I sold in Tel Aviv Florentin appreciated greatly and allowed me to purchase a beautiful place here cash. I have been back to Israel FIVE times in the last three years; I miss friends. Well now, Mr. Krokeman, I am 62 and can retire and will probably go back--without having to work. There are three reasons to leave Israel so they say: חתונה, לימודים, ופרנסה. Meaning marriage, studies, and sustenance I had to support myself.
If that Irish was just a bit clever he would leave immediately for Ireland. Paid maternity leave, almost two months of paid vacation days per year, free healthcare, no guns, no mass shootings, not being afraid to get killed by a cop just because you ran a red light and the list goes on. Plus, you got it wrong. The Irish in California lives in the diaspora. In this case here Russia and Ukraine were the diaspora and Israel is home. The intricacies of the Jewish history are quite unique.
They can be themselves!!! Lol the irony!! Over what?? The dead bodies of Palestinians, inside their homes taking whats not for them. Read history more, get to know how israel started and over what...
@@mee0pn ...so how are the Judeans exactly occupying Judea and the Arabs aren't occupying Judea? Are the Arabs occupying Arabia? Are Feb Italians occupying Italy? Does this seem logical to you? And what dead bodies of Palestinians? The Palestinians killed more Israelis in total than Israel has ever killed any Palestinian, the Palestinian population has quantrippled since they became a group of people in the 60's from 900,00 to over 5.6 million today, that means they are growing at a high rate of 3%, thats not a Genocide... you're just a liar..
Just ukrainian we've eaten it forever they just started lol but Im 100% ukrainian and I can't stand it , I'll ear anything ukrainian and even Slavic in general but borscht 😂😂
Like always. They all looked mediterranean except those who are mixed with slavs or central europe Population. Olive skin, thik dark eyebrows, often curly hair and middle eastern face Features..
Everyone should be proud of their culture no matter where they came from..it's part of your identity but I guess the place you are born in it's just feels home .Amir actually seems a good man with a good heart.
No i don't give a damn **** of where i came from, i am jew and nothing else, so yes my grandparents came from Ukraine and russia, but their grandparents came from germany, and their grandparents came from spain, stop saying jew is religion, jew has his own culture, own music and own food, all the people in Israel are jews , descendants of jews and are Israeli, shut it
In Poladnd non-Jews eat Gefilte dish, especially during Christmas (perhaps because we generally eat carp during Christmas), still it is considered Jewish dish.
it is not "conceidered" Jewish. It is in fact Jewish. Ashkenazi Jewish tradtitonal dish. the name "Gefilte Fish", litterally means "Stuffed Fish" in Yiddish. Though Polish Jews just mince a fish and make fish cutlets. (that is probably what you eat.) Im not surprised you have no idea what is the meaning of the name.. you don`t even know it is a Jewish dish. and not somthing "jews eat to", The original traditional recepie uses two Carps, one - cleaned and finely minced. the second - cleaned and stuffed with the minced meat of the first one. than all of it boiled in water with vegies etc. and that is where the name of the dish comes from.
@Giorno No, the only Europeans that converted to and mixed with Jews were Central and Western europeans as evidenced by available maternal haplogroups. There is minimal Slavic admixture in European Jews.
I'm Ashkenazi, so I CAN say without any doubt. Ashkenazi ARE JEWS, but when Jews arrived in Europe a long time ago, There was some mixture between us and europeans ( almost 2000 living together, it's reasonable) because of that some Ashkenazi look like european (light eyes, hair, etc) but we're STILL Jews.
She's an Ashkenazi born in Russia and not a Russian. Corey is a Jew born in Ottawa and can communicate passively in French but it doesn't make him ethnically French Canadian. Same goes for these so called "Russians". So the terminology goes as follows; Russians (русские, russkiye), an ethnic group of the East Slavic peoples, primarily living in Russia and neighboring countries. Rossiyane (россияне), Russian language term for all citizens and people of Russia, regardless of ethnicity. These Ashkenazis are Rossiyane (россияне) and not Russians (русские, russkiye).
People don't realize many "Russian Jews" or "Soviet Jews" are actually Mizrahi/Sephardi such as Bukharian Jews from Uzbekistan and Kavkazi Mountain Jews from Dagestan/Azerbaijan. Also Georgian Jews. All of these groups originated in Greater Iran.
Esteban Aguilar Castro Yes and no, Esteban. When you are talking about the Sephardim nowadays, you are talking of 2 groups of Jews: 1. those whose ancestors were actually exiled from the Iberian peninsula, and 2. those whose ancestors already lived throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Ottoman lands when the expulsion occurred. The 2nd subgroup is referred to as Sephardic in the sense that they follow the religious rite, customs, and rulings of the rabbis from the 1st group. In a more "genetic" sense, they are usually referred to as "Mizrahi." So, Georgian Jews, Bukharian Jews, etc. are really Mizrahi, having little connection to the Iberian peninsula, but who follow the religious rites of the rabbis who were expelled from the peninsula.
***** Open any wiki article about the Georgian Jews, Armenian Jews, Azerbaijani Jews, Bukharan Jews. They are usually classified as "Russian Jews," but they are not actually Ashkenazi, they are Mizrakhi. Were you an actual Russian Jew, you'd probably know this.
Some kind of gefilte fish is traditional Christmas dish in Poland and it's even called "Carp in Jewish style" (Karp po Żydowsku) because obviously Christians in Poland learned how to do it from Judaistic citizens:)
I don't think that gefilte fish in my culture means I love anybody ;) Frankly I don't like this dish much but I eat it cause it's tradition. I was in Israel, I know some Jews and those Jews I like. I met some Palestinians there and I like them too ;)
I really like what the guy said at the ending because in america your race follows you everywhere. I was taking a Survey in school and I had to check off my race/ ethnicity... Pretty weird because it was a survey for a teacher.
I've been watching these videos and I'm Turkish non religious, and really interested in Israel and noticed how a lot of these people in these videos look so similar to my relatives and friends! Also can you do a video of Ethnicities of Israel: Turks?
Vandoren333 really but here in Israel I have a Russian friend and he's called Alexandri I don't really know how to write it but I know how to pronounce it the rest of the Russian names I know are pretty common
@@princessmenen9064 There is no Alexandri. There are Aleksandr or Aleksey, both called Alex in Israel ( it's Sasha and Lesha). And there is Andrei or Andrey.
just to point out a mistake in translation @9:28 the guy says he's from Russia, Lita and Poland Lita is not Latvia, it's Lithuania. Geographically Latvia is sandwiched between Lithuania to the south and Estonia to the north. on the west you got the baltic sea and to the east it's russia and belarus
Gefilte fish is a Jewish food. It is clearly associated with Jews in both Russia and Ukraine. As for "the 'Russian' music of the olden [1920] days," a lot of those composers and lyricists were actually Jews. For example, the song mentioned at about 10 mark, "Boi, ima" was in original "За окошком свету мало," music by Eduard Kolmanovsky, original lyrics by Konstantin Vanshenkin, both Jews. Much of the popular "Russian" or really Soviet music of the 20's-40's was created by Jews. Dunaevsky, Blanter, Pokrass, Basner, Frenkel... And, guess what, their music did contain Jewish folk elements.
I have an answer. Russian & Ukrainian non-Jews do not eat gefilte fish perse, as we do (especially on holidays). But they do have some version of ground fish aka “Фаршированная рыба”... just Bc it’s a poor persons meal. Though it isn’t like a national dish or very popular and widespread. I think maybe in areas with large historical Jewish populations you’d find more of that amongst non-Jews, in a place like Odessa for example.
+Somali Savage EXACTLY...someone is lying. SOMEONE picked up an ancient African religion/ practice somewhere along the time line Like the the game ON Seseme street ONE OF THESE THINGS DON'T BELONG WITH THE OTHER...can we try to guess
+Derek SmartRoi So how far do we have to go back to claim relation? So then a African and a White European are extremely closly related. Many ethnic /racial groups carry the same african gene from the First group/people that left Africa a million years ago. Are they Africans?
This is interesting. I was born in Ukraine but moved to America when I was only 1.5 years old. I am still deeply tied to my Ukrainian roots even though I don't remember Ukraine and have never been back to visit. We speak Ukrainian in the home, eat Ukrainian foods, have Ukrainian decorations here and there, and listen to Russian/Ukrainian music as well. I am equal parts American and Ukrainian. I read and write in Russian/Ukrainian. (I think in the English language, though.)
Amir is right, unfortunately. As an Israeli there are so many traditions and cultures I relate to and feel connected to (especially on the mental level) and I'd still be treated differently.. seems like it'll never change.
you should have filmed this in Bat Yam or Ashdod.. there are places that you can speak only russian and keep living like that, almost disconnected from the israeli culture. I think it would have been more interesting then, israelis who just have russian parents but don't know the language/don't have any connection to the russian culture... but the video is nice and some wise men said some important things! :)
I dont understand why they all went to Israel. And how do you mean you are not Russian, you had citizenship, you were born there,your ancestors are from there, etc etc
Roman I'm not holding my breath about Trump kicking them out. He is surrounded by them. He declared full support for Israel. I hope that he is maybe tricking them until he has power. You have my support. Respect from America and Palestine!
yeeeea I would like to see you rule somewhere and gather the greatest force of anti-jews, it would be good to have you guys off the internet all together on the ground and wipe you off for good without hurting the good people.
לשאול מישהו שנולד בארץ, שהוריו עולים, וגם מישהו שהובא לארץ בגיל כמה חודשים, אם הוא רוצה לחזור - מיותר לגמרי, תמוהה ומאולץ. לשאול אותם אם הם רוצים לגור שם, זה בדיוק כמו לשאול אותך אם אתה רוצה לגור שם - אין להם שום זיקה לשם ושום קשר דה פקטו למקום ולתרבות (חוץ מכמה מאכלים, וידיעת שפה ברמה מאוד מאוד עילגת). - וזו גם, על הדרך, תשובה לשאלה שלך "למה לא?" שלא לדבר על אלה שסבם וסבתם עלו, והוריהם כבר נולדו בארץ, כמו אמיר. גם מאוד מוזר לי שהשאלה נשאלת בנימה של קביעה. לא בנימה של תהייה. וגם להדגיש לבחורה שאמרה שהוריה הביאו אותה לארץ בגיל *8 חודשים*, שהיא х שנים בארץ, מאוד לא למקום ומאוד מאולץ. בסרט על העדה העירקית בחור אחד אמר ששורשיו בארץ (התכוון כיהודי) - לא תרגמת את זה. ויש עוד הרבה מקרים כאלה בסרטונים שלך. מוביל לחשוב שיש לך אג'נדה מאוד מסוימת.. אולי אני טועה. נ.ב 1:32 יהודי אולי בגלל סבתא יהודייה בצד הנכון. אזכורים של מאכלים אשכנזיים, נשמעים לו כמו מילים מוזרות שהרגע המצאת. אין לן שמץ מה אמרת. ויש לו גם מבטא כבד ביותר המסגיר שהוא עדיין חי "שם" מבחינת המנטליות, צורך תכנים משם, מדבר רוסית רוב הזמן )) בארץ יש מיעוט מסוים של עולי חבר העמים, שעלו בתחילת 2000, שאין להם שום זיקה ליהדות. שיחקו על הjewish card בזכות סבתא רבא, ועלו לארץ נטו מתאמים של שיפור תנאי חיים (ואין שום דבר פסול בזה). היית צריך לוודא שהאדם יהודי. כי ישפטו אותו כאחד. 6:24 הבנאדם לא יודע שבבושקה זה סבתא, ואין דובר רוסית/אוקראינית וכו'' אחד בעולם שיקרא לזה ככה. הבובה נקראת מטריושקה. הוא רוסי בערך כמוך. מילא אתה (בהנחה שאין לך שורשים מזרח אירופאים) קורא לזה בבושקה. אגב, כל הכבוד שאתם אומרים בבושקה במלעיל, ככה באמת נכון להגיד סבתא ברוסית/אוקראינית/בלארוסית. 10:28 תשובה נפלאה!!! תשובה שאתה יכול לשמור כתשובה לשאלה הזו כברירת מחדל.
at 9:28 you wrote that his grandparents are from Russia, Latvia and Poland when he said Russia, Lithuania and Poland. Just thought id correct you on that one since the Baltic states are the same and have distinct and unique languages and cultures.
Please do native Israeli Jews ( those who have ancestors in the land for multiple generations, some may say Palestinian Jews) like those with background in Jerusalem, Hebron, Tiberias, Jaffa, Galilee
I love this series so much! Which communities are next? I remember a Bulgarian guy from another video. You should also do one with Jews from the New World like Argentina or America.
So the girl is atheist.... came to a country that was established in Palestine.... she has no connection to that land whatsoever... she was allowed to stay there... live there..... while Palestinians .... whose fathers, grand fathers and many more generations lived there, owned land and houses... are not allowed to come ??? Makes sense.....
shes a jew therefore she has connection to the land and she came to Israel not to palestine. the palestinians whos some fathers lived there refused to coexist.
@@zionist9008 what connection to the land? Dont you claim that God gave you that land, and she doesnt believe in that God....so what right did she have to come there?? Palestinian refused to Coexist??? Are you serious ??? They were living in peace with Jews for centuries....baby sitting each other children..until Zionism arrived and destroyed peace and Palestine.. Just read letter sent by Rabbi of Palestine in 1947 to UN, warning the danger of appearance of Zionism in Palestine .... .by the way...God is not a real estate agent...God gave you nothing...you occupied it
@@snowcrow1178 by saying "God gave you nothing" then you don't believe in the bible, which is fine. then stop pretending to do. and yes God gave the land to us, we can still live with anyone who would want to live in peace. an atheist Jew is also fully welcomed into Israel, because the land is a Jewish land.
@@zionist9008 that's totally true...God gave you nothing...for two reasons....I dont have to believe in your book....so it's not Palestinians problem if you believe that God is real estate agent....two...even real Torah Jews....reject state of Israel....If God gave you this land....you wouldn't need to kill for it....you took it, not God gave you
@@snowcrow1178 firstly, if you dont believe in the bible, then its silly to say what God gave and didnt give because you dont even believe in God to begin with. unless youre a hindu or budhist with another god. secondly, it isnt only about what God gave and didnt give. theres historical and archaelogical evidence that the land was a complete Jewish land. thirdly, theres nothing like "real torah Jews". and i know the group youre refering to, theyre a minority, a small sect of people. what you dont even know is that group in its core actually believe in Israel, and some live in Israel and benefit from the state, their mission is to reduce anti semetism by pretending not to believe in Israel so they can deceive people like you into thinking, well not all jews believe in Israel. and theyre doing a great job at that. have you ever asked for a clear torah verse that says the land is not for the jews? i bet you havent. theyre really doing a great job. 😂. thirdly, in he torah when the land was given to us through moses it wasnt on a silver platter, we had to fight for it.
Out of all of these people there was only one ethnically Ukranian guy, the rest of them are all Jews. Jews are always saying La Shana Baa Ba Yerushalaim (Next year in Jerusalem), so no wonder they don't want to go back. They always wanted Israel, now they got, so why should they like Russia or Ukraine if they always wanted not to be there?
To call Jews from Latvia Russian/Ukrainian shows ignorance in the subject. It's correct to call our Jews 'Soviet" but definitely not Russians/Ukrainians.
Actually there are lithuanian, latvian and estonian jews and they are latvians, lithuanians and estonians. They are people ( and their children and grandchildren) who lived and live now in these countries and were born 1918-1940. In Estonia estonian jews and soviet (russian) jews are quite different.
PEOPLE IGNORE THIS PROPHECY: I am a Sephardic Jew. The children of Israel were scattered among the gentile nations and treated as third class citizens and learned their culture , customs, and language .However, genetically speaking , the culture,heritage, Hebrew language are still descendants of Jacob. Some who were not devout Jews were intermarried with the gentiles others didn't but kept Torah. The Apostle Paul was born in Tarsus, modern Turkey and also had a Roman citizenship, because Turkey at the time belonged as Roman colony or commonwealth of the Roman Empire. However, Paul said that he was an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, Explain that. That's how everyone who came from another country to Israel. Romans 9:3,7 and Romans 11:1
What an absurd! Most emigrated to Israel for being Jews (because it is a religion not an ethnic concept) but later they are atheist. That fact has a name: economics migration.
Jews are almost unique in that they are both an ethnicity and a religion you can belong to the ethnicity and be atheist in fact many of the survivors of the concentration camps became atheists as a result of their experiences and at the same time they became more Jewish even if they were only a quarter Jewish by blood.
There are hardly any Black-American Jews, unless they have a super unique history, it can only be converts (which doesn't happen a lot). All "black" Jews are usually either Ethiopians or Yemenite.
Difen Crosby Not according to Wikipedia. They put the number between 20k to 200k, making them at the most 3.6%. Still, there is a little misunderstanding, what I meant is in the sense of the "African heritage", what you refer to is the result of half Jews half American Blacks.
Difen Crosby It's much more reliable then a random person who just throws a number with no reliable backing to it. Maybe if you'll provide a proof to your 10% claim I could take that reputable source claim seriously. Why do you assume I'm not a Jew?
If the man at 1:30 is indigenous to this land, I'm Nigerian. I know very well slavic people from Ukraine, Poland and Russia, and he is for sure identical to them in every aspects. What a shame.
Who said he is indigenous? Anyway, on what basis do you claim that he's not indigenous just looking by his physical look? Jews have had admixture with Europeans both inside and outside Israel since ancient times. The first Europeans to become mixed with Jews and other Israelites were the ancient Philistines, a people of Southern European origins from the Balkans and very likely linked to ancient Pelasgians and the region of Pelaeste. The majority of genetic studies have also shown that most Ashkenazic Jews have mixed origins, with 75%-80% having ancient Israelite male ancestry and 65%-80% having European female ancestry, which basically means they're both indigenous to Israel and Europe. The way they look depends very much on the combination of genes. To prove my point, just check the CNN reporter Hala Gorani (Middle Eastern father and French mother) or fashion models Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid (Middle Eastern father and Dutch mother) and see how much ignorance your comment reveals. Also for your information, people of light skin, blue/green eyes and red/blonde hair have always existed in the Middle East. Take anti-Israel activist Ahed Tamimi as an example. I suggest you study this issue more deeply and stop confusing the indigenous people of the Levant, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Caucasia and Iran (i.e., Israelites, Lebanese, Arameans, Kurds, Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians) with those of Arabia and North Africa (i.e., Yemenites, Omanites, Saudites, Egyptians, Lybians, Numidians and Mauretanians). The latter have had significant admixture with dark skinned Africans and proto-Australoids since ancient times and gradually conquered and settled in Mesopotamia and the Levant, having also become mixed with the respective indigenous populations. On the other hand, Jewish admixture with Europeans (mainly female converts) only increased the frequency of specific physical traits which are found more often among Europeans, hence part of them can be easily mistaken as being purely European. Notwithstanding, there are still many Ashkenazic Jews who have clear Middle Eastern physical traits.
Interesting channel. I have liked and subscribed. I would be interested in knowing why you ask the questions you do. Like the American sounding girl, when she asked why you were filming and asking questions, I would have liked to hear the answer. Do you have a video that explains why you go around asking questions?
+henry hobson He does it for us! For this channel. :P People are curious beings. I think it's a great idea, and that there should be channels like this in every country that would tolerate it.
Corey: "do you still do anything connected to Ukrain?" Pavel: *eats a sunflower seed SEMECHKA* "No!" loool that was so funny cuz that in itself is such a russian/ukranian habit
sorry but the title of the video is wrong. most people in israel think that if you came from ukraine for example you are ethnic ukrainian but thats not true. many people that came from ussr to israel are half russian and ukrainian by blood or more for example there are many people in israel with one jewish grandfather. but there are also many fully ashkenazi jews from russia and ukraine and they are not ethnic ukrainians and russians. same thing with jews that came from other countries, they call jews from morrocons ethnic morroans and thats not right thing to say either they are mizrahi jews from morroco but not ethnic morrocans because ethnic morrocans are arabs and speaking berber or arabic!
These people are not Russian or Ukrainian or any other nationality/ethnicity ALL of them are Jews/Jewish. Religiously they could be atheist or orthodox or secular or traditional BUT still ALL of them are Jewish. It's the same thing when you call Mizrahim "Arab Jews" Mizrahim are Jews who they or their ancestors happened to have lived with Arabs/Muslims. The same thing could be said about all other Jewish communities (Ashkenazim, Sephardim, etc...) Enough of the separation and living in a lie. We are all Jews who happened to lived in various countries throughout the world. If we go even further back in our history we still link our roots to Israel and to 1 source. The reason we were separated in the first place was because of a lack of JEWISH unity. Long live Israel and long live the Jewish people!
Can someone tell me what's Jewish stance regarding names? I've noticed that some Jews have names that belong to other nations and doesn't seem Jewish. Names like (for example) Maria, Yana, Joanna... And in Russia I've noticed that both Muslims and Jews have Russian names that are usually considered Christian. So does Judaism allow Jews to have non/Jewish names, or are all names allowed for them?
A Jew can have any name in theory but normally we take Hebrew names or the foreign adaptation of those names, depending on which country we're born and how connected we are to Jewish culture. For instance, Maria is the Latin form of Miriam (Hebrew) and Mariam (Arabic) whereas Joanna is the Latin/Germanic female form of Yohan (Hebrew). Those who are not so connected (normally secular Jews) are more open to the idea of adopting foreign names like Richard or Boris. In some cases, it's also a way of making your Jewish identity less noticed (which may be necessary in certain countries or during certain history periods).
@ Corey Gil-Shuster Russians and Ukrainians? Jews can't be Slavs. They are Jews and not Russians or Ukrainians. Please change the title into "russian and ukrainian Jews").
Hryhory Parmut There are also Germans who look more slavic than the average german does. But that doesn't make them slavic. Do you know what ASSIMILATION means??!? Their slavic ancestors have been assimilated by the Germans.
I do not know about all Sephardim, but Bukharians have a type of gefilte fish. Its a fish cutlet seasoned with pepper. Its NOT popular and thus might not be known.

1/4 of all Israelis are Russian and more are from other former Soviet countries. The Soviet Union had forced atheism, which means most of those Israelis are not totally religious Jews. However, they are ethnic Jews, having at least one Jewish grandparent. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, almost all Jews from the area immigrated to either Israel or the U.S. due to a desire for a better life free of the anti-Semitism that was present in Eastern Europe. Some of the Jews from the Soviet Union brought their spouses that were Russian or from another former Soviet country. Hope that answered your question!
This sort of phenomenon in the "Ethnicities" of different Jews in Israel is quite unique for us. So whats the deal? why do some of these people call themselfs "Russian" even though Russian is not thier first language, they never lived or atleast not most of thier life in Russia, they don't talk like Russians and to be honest, they wouldn't understand anything in Russia or Ukraine other than the food. This is simply because of the age of Israel, just like people in the US hardly think about themselfs as "Irish" or "German" anymore, time will simply turn all of these Jews into de-facto Israelis, which they are already in every sense other than the immigration waves that happened over the years. Russian Jews would mostly know Russian to an extent, eat some Russian food from thier babushka every once in a while, and that's about it in thier extent of being Russian, but it's still made into a distinction in Israel because some of the older folks are still quite simply Russian, while thier kids are Israeli, in just about everything.

I can relate personally too.

"Lita" is Lithuania, not Latvia, Corey.
Here I am watching this again during our lockdown, and as in 2015, Amir's comments continue to go straight to the heart.

The last guy was really wise.

Amir at the end is the star of the whole video.
Here, in Israel, I am just Amir. Not Amir the Jew or Amir the Israeli. Just plain Amir.
How sweet and wise. And that is exactly the beauty of Israel. We can just be who we are.
Harold Goodman Haha amir is a ARABIC word for king and its also a name.
DerOpa Amir means leader Malik means king in Arabic
John Doe Amir is also Hebrew. It can mean either treetop or a bundle (of wheat), depending on how it’s spelled. Yes, a name can have origins in multiple languages.

Harold Goodman They don’t have white people living in Israel. Right. White people cant go there. Right. So stop with the racist bull. I have family that is Jews. But I’m not going to do this racist stuff about white people. I won’t do it.
The last interview, the one with Amir went straight to my heart. What a wonderful man with such beautiful answers. Yes, that is exactly how I felt the 8 years I lived in Israel. I was just Mark...well Mark the immigrant, but not Mark (the Jew)
Why haven't you stayed there?
Because a very evil, mean boss screamed at all employees and NO ONE screams at me and plays cruel mind games. My blood pressure went up to 160/100 so I walked out. At 59 it would not have been easy to find a job. It could have taken a day, a month, 6 months a year...I had a mortgage and other expenses. I came back to the States three years ago, and found a great job immediately, in my field. The apartment I sold in Tel Aviv Florentin appreciated greatly and allowed me to purchase a beautiful place here cash. I have been back to Israel FIVE times in the last three years; I miss friends. Well now, Mr. Krokeman, I am 62 and can retire and will probably go back--without having to work. There are three reasons to leave Israel so they say: חתונה, לימודים, ופרנסה. Meaning marriage, studies, and sustenance I had to support myself.
Everyone was Jewish.

And what dead bodies of Palestinians? The Palestinians killed more Israelis in total than Israel has ever killed any Palestinian, the Palestinian population has quantrippled since they became a group of people in the 60's from 900,00 to over 5.6 million today, that means they are growing at a high rate of 3%, thats not a Genocide... you're just a liar..

Notice how many of them, despite being from Russia, have a Mediterranean appearance. But yeah Ashkenazi Jews totally aren't Middle Eastern, right?
I'm Ashkenazi (born in Russia) and Arabs have mistaken me for one of their own, many times.
Like always. They all looked mediterranean except those who are mixed with slavs or central europe Population. Olive skin, thik dark eyebrows, often curly hair and middle eastern face Features..

In Poladnd non-Jews eat Gefilte dish, especially during Christmas (perhaps because we generally eat carp during Christmas), still it is considered Jewish dish.
+Spirifer Minerals I don't know about gefilte, but I know about szledzie (pickled herring).
That not Jewish dish that ashkenazi dish
@@RaphiAB
Ashkenazi is a type of Jew. European Jews are called Ashkenazi Jews
it is not "conceidered" Jewish.
It is in fact Jewish.
Ashkenazi Jewish tradtitonal dish.
the name "Gefilte Fish", litterally means "Stuffed Fish" in Yiddish.
Though Polish Jews just mince a fish and make fish cutlets.
(that is probably what you eat.)
Im not surprised you have no idea what is the meaning of the name..
you don`t even know it is a Jewish dish. and not somthing "jews eat to",
The original traditional recepie uses two Carps,
one - cleaned and finely minced.
the second - cleaned and stuffed with the minced meat of the first one.
than all of it boiled in water with vegies etc.
and that is where the name of the dish comes from.
“This is the only place I am not a Jew.”
That’s very perceptive.
Yes, that's the only place without antisemitism
The first girl is the most Israeli looking Russian girl ever
Lol what? She looks Jewish because she is Jewish and not ethnically Russian. Of course she'll look Israeli.
@Giorno No, the only Europeans that converted to and mixed with Jews were Central and Western europeans as evidenced by available maternal haplogroups. There is minimal Slavic admixture in European Jews.
@hitler did noting worong true, but I'm 90% sure he is recently mixed (i.e, one of his parents is ethnically Russian).
The first Russian girl is really pretty.
I'm Ashkenazi, so I CAN say without any doubt. Ashkenazi ARE JEWS, but when Jews arrived in Europe a long time ago, There was some mixture between us and europeans ( almost 2000 living together, it's reasonable) because of that some Ashkenazi look like european (light eyes, hair, etc) but we're STILL Jews.

She's an Ashkenazi born in Russia and not a Russian. Corey is a Jew born in Ottawa and can communicate passively in French but it doesn't make him ethnically French Canadian.
Same goes for these so called "Russians". So the terminology goes as follows;
Russians (русские, russkiye), an ethnic group of the East Slavic peoples, primarily living in Russia and neighboring countries.
Rossiyane (россияне), Russian language term for all citizens and people of Russia, regardless of ethnicity.
These Ashkenazis are Rossiyane (россияне) and not Russians (русские, russkiye).
So is the one at 5mn
People don't realize many "Russian Jews" or "Soviet Jews" are actually Mizrahi/Sephardi such as Bukharian Jews from Uzbekistan and Kavkazi Mountain Jews from Dagestan/Azerbaijan. Also Georgian Jews. All of these groups originated in Greater Iran.
***** Spain and Portugal are the Iberic Peninsula.
Esteban Aguilar Castro Yes and no, Esteban. When you are talking about the Sephardim nowadays, you are talking of 2 groups of Jews: 1. those whose ancestors were actually exiled from the Iberian peninsula, and 2. those whose ancestors already lived throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Ottoman lands when the expulsion occurred. The 2nd subgroup is referred to as Sephardic in the sense that they follow the religious rite, customs, and rulings of the rabbis from the 1st group. In a more "genetic" sense, they are usually referred to as "Mizrahi."
So, Georgian Jews, Bukharian Jews, etc. are really Mizrahi, having little connection to the Iberian peninsula, but who follow the religious rites of the rabbis who were expelled from the peninsula.
***** Thanks, I did'nt knew that.
Esteban Aguilar Castro You're welcome.
***** Open any wiki article about the Georgian Jews, Armenian Jews, Azerbaijani Jews, Bukharan Jews. They are usually classified as "Russian Jews," but they are not actually Ashkenazi, they are Mizrakhi. Were you an actual Russian Jew, you'd probably know this.
Some kind of gefilte fish is traditional Christmas dish in Poland and it's even called "Carp in Jewish style" (Karp po Żydowsku) because obviously Christians in Poland learned how to do it from Judaistic citizens:)

There are gazilllion o ethnicities in Israel and all somehow live together.
i experience this alot. especially when i see hispanic or middle eastern people. they always remind me of the people in israel
The Jews settled all over the Middle East in Europe, and Anatolia is the bridge between Europe and the Middle East. It makes sense.

There are Aleksandr or Aleksey, both called Alex in Israel ( it's Sasha and Lesha).

Lita is not Latvia, it's Lithuania.

she's right, because Ashkenazi are converted jews, at least on maternal lineage!
Gefilte fish is a Jewish food. It is clearly associated with Jews in both Russia and Ukraine.
As for "the 'Russian' music of the olden [1920] days," a lot of those composers and lyricists were actually Jews. For example, the song mentioned at about 10 mark, "Boi, ima" was in original "За окошком свету мало," music by Eduard Kolmanovsky, original lyrics by Konstantin Vanshenkin, both Jews. Much of the popular "Russian" or really Soviet music of the 20's-40's was created by Jews. Dunaevsky, Blanter, Pokrass, Basner, Frenkel... And, guess what, their music did contain Jewish folk elements.
I want to add to the list Leonid Utyosov (Weisbein), he was the biggest star of soviet estrade
Interesting!
I'm from Ukraine and I like gefilte fish, but I cannot cook it, it's too complicated
I have an answer. Russian & Ukrainian non-Jews do not eat gefilte fish perse, as we do (especially on holidays). But they do have some version of ground fish aka “Фаршированная рыба”... just Bc it’s a poor persons meal. Though it isn’t like a national dish or very popular and widespread. I think maybe in areas with large historical Jewish populations you’d find more of that amongst non-Jews, in a place like Odessa for example.

לשאול מישהו שנולד בארץ, שהוריו עולים, וגם מישהו שהובא לארץ בגיל כמה חודשים,
אם הוא רוצה לחזור - מיותר לגמרי, תמוהה ומאולץ.
לשאול אותם אם הם רוצים לגור שם, זה בדיוק כמו לשאול אותך אם אתה רוצה לגור שם - אין להם שום זיקה לשם ושום קשר דה פקטו למקום ולתרבות (חוץ מכמה מאכלים, וידיעת שפה ברמה מאוד מאוד עילגת).
- וזו גם, על הדרך, תשובה לשאלה שלך "למה לא?"
שלא לדבר על אלה שסבם וסבתם עלו, והוריהם כבר נולדו בארץ, כמו אמיר.
גם מאוד מוזר לי שהשאלה נשאלת בנימה של קביעה. לא בנימה של תהייה.
וגם להדגיש לבחורה שאמרה שהוריה הביאו אותה לארץ בגיל *8 חודשים*, שהיא х שנים בארץ,
מאוד לא למקום ומאוד מאולץ.
בסרט על העדה העירקית בחור אחד אמר ששורשיו בארץ (התכוון כיהודי) - לא תרגמת את זה.

בארץ יש מיעוט מסוים של עולי חבר העמים, שעלו בתחילת 2000, שאין להם שום זיקה ליהדות. שיחקו על הjewish card בזכות סבתא רבא, ועלו לארץ נטו מתאמים של שיפור תנאי חיים (ואין שום דבר פסול בזה).

shes a jew therefore she has connection to the land and she came to Israel not to palestine. the palestinians whos some fathers lived there refused to coexist.

@@snowcrow1178 firstly, if you dont believe in the bible, then its silly to say what God gave and didnt give because you dont even believe in God to begin with. unless youre a hindu or budhist with another god.
secondly, it isnt only about what God gave and didnt give. theres historical and archaelogical evidence that the land was a complete Jewish land.
thirdly, theres nothing like "real torah Jews". and i know the group youre refering to, theyre a minority, a small sect of people. what you dont even know is that group in its core actually believe in Israel, and some live in Israel and benefit from the state, their mission is to reduce anti semetism by pretending not to believe in Israel so they can deceive people like you into thinking, well not all jews believe in Israel. and theyre doing a great job at that. have you ever asked for a clear torah verse that says the land is not for the jews? i bet you havent. theyre really doing a great job. 😂.
thirdly, in he torah when the land was given to us through moses it wasnt on a silver platter, we had to fight for it.

The guy at 6:30 has like the thickest Russian accent ever)
Out of all of these people there was only one ethnically Ukranian guy, the rest of them are all Jews. Jews are always saying La Shana Baa Ba Yerushalaim (Next year in Jerusalem), so no wonder they don't want to go back. They always wanted Israel, now they got, so why should they like Russia or Ukraine if they always wanted not to be there?
To call Jews from Latvia Russian/Ukrainian shows ignorance in the subject. It's correct to call our Jews 'Soviet" but definitely not Russians/Ukrainians.
Actually there are lithuanian, latvian and estonian jews and they are latvians, lithuanians and estonians. They are people ( and their children and grandchildren) who lived and live now in these countries and were born 1918-1940. In Estonia estonian jews and soviet (russian) jews are quite different.
Polonetsky sounds middle eastern name 😂
PEOPLE IGNORE THIS PROPHECY: I am a Sephardic Jew. The children of Israel were scattered among the gentile nations and treated as third class citizens and learned
their culture , customs, and language .However, genetically speaking , the culture,heritage,
Hebrew language are still descendants of Jacob. Some who were not
devout Jews were intermarried with the gentiles others didn't but kept
Torah. The Apostle Paul was born in Tarsus, modern Turkey and also had a
Roman citizenship, because Turkey at the time belonged as Roman colony
or commonwealth of the Roman Empire. However, Paul said that he was an
Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, Explain that. That's how everyone
who came from another country to Israel. Romans 9:3,7 and Romans 11:1
it's just Ukraine. Not "THE" Ukraine.
What an absurd! Most emigrated to Israel for being Jews (because it is a religion not an ethnic concept) but later they are atheist. That fact has a name: economics migration.
Jews are almost unique in that they are both an ethnicity and a religion you can belong to the ethnicity and be atheist in fact many of the survivors of the concentration camps became atheists as a result of their experiences and at the same time they became more Jewish even if they were only a quarter Jewish by blood.
Can you find some Black-American Jews living in Israel and ask them about their experiences and which do they prefer USA or Israel?
There are hardly any Black-American Jews, unless they have a super unique history, it can only be converts (which doesn't happen a lot). All "black" Jews are usually either Ethiopians or Yemenite.
+itaibh1 10% of the Jewish population in the USA are black Americans.
Difen Crosby Not according to Wikipedia. They put the number between 20k to 200k, making them at the most 3.6%. Still, there is a little misunderstanding, what I meant is in the sense of the "African heritage", what you refer to is the result of half Jews half American Blacks.
+itaibh1 lol, Wikipedia is such a reputable source. Btw, how can you as a non Jew speak for the Jewish people?
Difen Crosby It's much more reliable then a random person who just throws a number with no reliable backing to it. Maybe if you'll provide a proof to your 10% claim I could take that reputable source claim seriously.
Why do you assume I'm not a Jew?
If the man at 1:30 is indigenous to this land, I'm Nigerian. I know very well slavic people from Ukraine, Poland and Russia, and he is for sure identical to them in every aspects. What a shame.
Who said he is indigenous? Anyway, on what basis do you claim that he's not indigenous just looking by his physical look?
Jews have had admixture with Europeans both inside and outside Israel since ancient times. The first Europeans to become mixed with Jews and other Israelites were the ancient Philistines, a people of Southern European origins from the Balkans and very likely linked to ancient Pelasgians and the region of Pelaeste.
The majority of genetic studies have also shown that most Ashkenazic Jews have mixed origins, with 75%-80% having ancient Israelite male ancestry and 65%-80% having European female ancestry, which basically means they're both indigenous to Israel and Europe. The way they look depends very much on the combination of genes. To prove my point, just check the CNN reporter Hala Gorani (Middle Eastern father and French mother) or fashion models Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid (Middle Eastern father and Dutch mother) and see how much ignorance your comment reveals.
Also for your information, people of light skin, blue/green eyes and red/blonde hair have always existed in the Middle East. Take anti-Israel activist Ahed Tamimi as an example.
I suggest you study this issue more deeply and stop confusing the indigenous people of the Levant, Mesopotamia, Anatolia, Caucasia and Iran (i.e., Israelites, Lebanese, Arameans, Kurds, Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians) with those of Arabia and North Africa (i.e., Yemenites, Omanites, Saudites, Egyptians, Lybians, Numidians and Mauretanians). The latter have had significant admixture with dark skinned Africans and proto-Australoids since ancient times and gradually conquered and settled in Mesopotamia and the Levant, having also become mixed with the respective indigenous populations. On the other hand, Jewish admixture with Europeans (mainly female converts) only increased the frequency of specific physical traits which are found more often among Europeans, hence part of them can be easily mistaken as being purely European. Notwithstanding, there are still many Ashkenazic Jews who have clear Middle Eastern physical traits.
A lot of these look incredibly Middle Eastern, though they should of course also have some European ancestry.

These people are not Russian or Ukrainian or any other nationality/ethnicity ALL of them are Jews/Jewish. Religiously they could be atheist or orthodox or secular or traditional BUT still ALL of them are Jewish.
It's the same thing when you call Mizrahim "Arab Jews" Mizrahim are Jews who they or their ancestors happened to have lived with Arabs/Muslims. The same thing could be said about all other Jewish communities (Ashkenazim, Sephardim, etc...)
Enough of the separation and living in a lie.
We are all Jews who happened to lived in various countries throughout the world.
If we go even further back in our history we still link our roots to Israel and to 1 source.
The reason we were separated in the first place was because of a lack of JEWISH unity.
Long live Israel and long live the Jewish people!
most of the humans are not 100% one ethnic group - so what the problem with the jews?
Being Jewish it’s religion first of all !
I wanna know about jews from Caucasus( Azerbaijan, Dagestan, Georgia)
Mountain jews, today still live in south russian, look similar to iranis
Aserbadjan ,Georgia - Not Russia 🇷🇺
Can someone tell me what's Jewish stance regarding names? I've noticed that some Jews have names that belong to other nations and doesn't seem Jewish. Names like (for example) Maria, Yana, Joanna... And in Russia I've noticed that both Muslims and Jews have Russian names that are usually considered Christian. So does Judaism allow Jews to have non/Jewish names, or are all names allowed for them?
A Jew can have any name in theory but normally we take Hebrew names or the foreign adaptation of those names, depending on which country we're born and how connected we are to Jewish culture.
For instance, Maria is the Latin form of Miriam (Hebrew) and Mariam (Arabic) whereas Joanna is the Latin/Germanic female form of Yohan (Hebrew).
Those who are not so connected (normally secular Jews) are more open to the idea of adopting foreign names like Richard or Boris. In some cases, it's also a way of making your Jewish identity less noticed (which may be necessary in certain countries or during certain history periods).
Thank you for clearing this up
Palestine has a lot of immigrants 😌
you realize how stupid you sound? you cant be immigrants from your own country, if anything the arabs are immigrants of israel and the levant

Please make a video about Ethnicities of Israel: Bukharian Jews , many people don’t know about us
Luda from Tel Aviv is super cute.
@ Corey Gil-Shuster Russians and Ukrainians? Jews can't be Slavs. They are Jews and not Russians or Ukrainians. Please change the title into "russian and ukrainian Jews").
+Vojak3 I beg to differ with you that. Plenty of them look like slavs.
Hryhory Parmut There are also Germans who look more slavic than the average german does. But that doesn't make them slavic. Do you know what ASSIMILATION means??!? Their slavic ancestors have been assimilated by the Germans.
Learning more everyday wow!
I do not know about all Sephardim, but Bukharians have a type of gefilte fish. Its a fish cutlet seasoned with pepper. Its NOT popular and thus might not be known.

He does not draw a distinction between ethnic Russians/Ukrainians and Jews from there. Very different cultures.

He looks like my teacher 'Amir'... weird...
Can someone explain to me why so many Russian and Ukrainian _non-Jews_ live in Israel? I am asking because I have met many of them in Canada.
***** Better life, better job, more money. Almost every person living in Russia or Ukraine has relatives in Israel even if they are non-Jews.

They are basically related to those Jews and the economy is better over there.
Глеб Харюшин I see... Many of them seem to be moving out of there now. I have never met an Israeli person here, that isn't Russian or Ukrainian.
1/4 of all Israelis are Russian and more are from other former Soviet countries. The Soviet Union had forced atheism, which means most of those Israelis are not totally religious Jews. However, they are ethnic Jews, having at least one Jewish grandparent. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, almost all Jews from the area immigrated to either Israel or the U.S. due to a desire for a better life free of the anti-Semitism that was present in Eastern Europe. Some of the Jews from the Soviet Union brought their spouses that were Russian or from another former Soviet country. Hope that answered your question!
Thank you for your answer Kate B. . Most of the ones I know are of Orthodox Christian faith. Some are Jewish.
Waist of time talking to you.. Have a nice day... Whatever you say,, you are " right ", you won!
This sort of phenomenon in the "Ethnicities" of different Jews in Israel is quite unique for us.
So whats the deal? why do some of these people call themselfs "Russian" even though Russian is not thier first language, they never lived or atleast not most of thier life in Russia, they don't talk like Russians and to be honest, they wouldn't understand anything in Russia or Ukraine other than the food.
This is simply because of the age of Israel, just like people in the US hardly think about themselfs as "Irish" or "German" anymore, time will simply turn all of these Jews into de-facto Israelis, which they are already in every sense other than the immigration waves that happened over the years.
Russian Jews would mostly know Russian to an extent, eat some Russian food from thier babushka every once in a while, and that's about it in thier extent of being Russian, but it's still made into a distinction in Israel because some of the older folks are still quite simply Russian, while thier kids are Israeli, in just about everything.
ņиʞɔноuʁ ņоʚоɓоdоɹ I'm honestly not interested in your wall of text or your opinion.
Most Russian Israelis would spit at the offering of going back to live in Russia or Ukraine, and you know that well enough.

You have proven to me multiple times in the past that you have no idea on how to conduct an actual discussion.

Your horseshit has proven itself as being horseshit in previous discussions.
