Peter, i don't think you fully understand in what degree they adopted you. Holding a Torah is a great honor for every Jew. The fact that they let YOU hold it, means that these people have so much love and respect for you. I'm guessing on the many many smiles that this isn't old footage and you went back to the community. Thank you so much for shining a bright light on the positive side of Orthodox Jews/ Chassidim. May your life be filled with health, meaning, succes, creativity untill 120. You truly made me and many other Jews feel relieved that there is honest and positive journalism out there. Keep on making great stuff!
@@inspiredby621 Dear, Insinuating that all people who don’t see Jesus as the Messiah are sinners, is a sin in itself. Don’t judge. What people don’t understand is that Judaism isn’t just a religion.. it’s history of the Judean tribe with their story, culture, traditions and practices. Please be respectful of that considering christianity comes from Judaism and Jesus was a practicing Jew.
@@withpeaceandlove777 Correct me if I'm wrong but I am pretty sure jews say jesus is "burning in a lake of piss and fire"
@@FastingFTW You are wrong and please go away with your Anti-Semitic ignorance. False accusations and intentional misunderstanding and bullying wiped out my ancestors. Any true “Christian” who smears the faith of their “Christ,” Yeshua, who was a practicing Jew until the end following Hashem, reveals themselves as hateful evil troll hypocrite.
@@brigitteleafbarnes1441 If you can give me the definition of what Semitic is ill go away.
Primitive tribes, primitive stories...
Great job Peter! It’s amazing how as an outsider you are able to tap into foreign worlds and understand people who are very different than you on such a deep level.
It's you!
Thank you for bringing him to such a event. Was wishing for this to happen since the chassidic series!🙏
Aaayyyyy Amazing Job both of You!!👏👏
It's beautiful to watch you host peter 😊. An Igbo Nigerian Christian sister here....my husband and I have this special admiration for the Jews. Shalom
So Shloime, now you'll have to reserve a special invitation for Peter to the upcoming Tishrei holidays, Hanukkah, Purim, Seder Pesach... and a Hasidic wedding of course. Make it happen (with God's help).
What struck me is when the gentleman in the wheelchair was speaking, the young boys leaned in to hear him and what he had to say. The level of respect these young people have for their community, their elders, and their faith is admirable.
Great observation
i noticed that emidiately myself, isnt it just amazing? religious or not we could all learn something from this

Coniemauvci
i'm pretty sure every community has kids who would do that lol
I'm not going to lie. I'm a new Yorker who always talked shit about Jews because I was stupid and uneducated. But after these videos and I mean all of these videos. I'm such a changed man. Jewish people are amazing . Very family oriented. It almost like you want to become Jewish after these videos. Amazing videos. Huge fan . 👏
Thank you. I’m so glad you were open to learning about them. It gives me hope.
Thank you for opening your heart. We are all brothers and sisters and G-d's children, beloved by G-d. G-d bless you!
That’s fantastic that you should share your own growth in this very positive way :)
Very honest of you! If only we could all appreciate our similarities rather than our differences, this world would be a much nicer, better, safer place. Well done!
same for me. But the ones in borough park are genuinely rude. They stare at you when you walk by and treat you like garbage just for daring to walk through "their" neighborhood.
As a Muslim I have to say Judaism, especially Hasidic Judaism, is a beautiful religion and culture. Hope we can find a way to resolve the conflicts that exist between Muslims and Jews and return to the days of peaceful coexistence between us
Inshala
I really appreciate how you said that and didn’t bring up divisive stuff. Salam!
@@youtub6521 I’m a orthodox Jew my parents were born in Uzbekistan , I have high respect for our Muslim brothers we are all the same in reality we come from the same background and share the same principles and cultures . F politics , spread love 😊
The Jews and Muslims are brothers and we should all love each other's
Don't confuse the conflict between Israel and Palestine with other Jewish people this fight is between the two countries, I'm sure that if you'd take a Hasidic and a Muslim / Palestinian person and you would put them together you'll see that both of them share the same values have the same desire. please don't confuse a country with the people who live in the that country as the same with that type of sector people who live somewhere else... In short don't view Jewish people who live in other countries as the same as people who live in Israel regarding hate... The conflict between the two countries is there conflict.
Peace inshallah ✌️
I’m a Palestinian muslim and watching the videos on the Jewish community really show me a different light… I’m amazed
@@Hash710x and you are a Hater
Bless you. May we always have peace. Much love ❤️
I’m an American Jew and I love you brother
Thank you brother. I hope this is the spark that brings peace and understanding between our respective communities.
Hey Man just remember that the world always have their Bad Things & Good Things. Right now you saw the Good Part.
I nannied for a Jewish family and really loved their celebrations and traditions. Every Friday night they would get ready for a big dinner/party at their house and it looked like they were preparing for a wedding! It was amazing. They are so warm and really value community.
That’s so sweet! What a unique experience! We always joke that non Jewish people make a huge deal about thanksgiving but we cook like it’s thanksgiving every week! There really is no boring time in Jewish life since every Friday night-Saturday is a holiday 😁
As an Orthodox Jew I love this comparison. We really do go all out for Shabbat and holidays haha.
And they ALL had relatives that were HC survivors! Amazing!
Every woman shown in this video is beautiful.
The hostess, oh my goodness, is so pretty and shows such inner beauty, as well.
I suspect she is a teacher: everything she speaks to Peter is sharing knowledge. She also has the gentle manner of a teacher.
Hope someday you change your mind - go to a Chabad house and say hi see how welcome you are. When you get older you will find all people reach out with love. Bad people separate us with lies to promote their own reasons but people are people if you give love you get love if you give hate you get hate. Reaching out to give you a Jewish Hug - please accept @Donnell Okafor
As an Asian American who’s Buddhist, I smiled with pure joy watching this celebration. I’m glad Peter was able to show us their culture and experiences. This is pretty cool. ❤️
israel is in asia.
As the only Irish Catholic in an all Orthodox Jewish financial firm, I can tell you that I was treated with respect and never looked down upon, which I think is a common misconception about the Orthodox Jews. In fact, I still keep in touch with many of the guys I used to work with and have attended their weddings, bris, bar and bat mitzvahs.
Gentiles are obligated to keep the 7 Noahide commandments. Good luck.
"orthodox Jewish financial firm" LOL
@@Tomas-ml9nv why lol?
@@Tomas-ml9nv yeah, what of it??
As a lifelong Roman Catholic, I’ve always loved and respected Judaism. Peter’s videos on Hasidism have opened my eyes to the depth and breadth of this beautiful faith. May you all live a blessed and prosperous life.
As a life long Jew I’ve always respected Catholicism and a Christianity. All the best to you and yours Michael.
Ditto !
Same, Michael.
You swapping ?
Sorry but the replies to this comment are hilarious 🤣😆😂
As an Irish person this is fascinating. Fantastic they are so welcoming to show you their world.
Peter. Thank you so much for this series. As a devout Catholic, I see more similarities than differences. You MUST show us a Jewish wedding, please. ❤
I so second this, jewish wedding please!!!
I’d say the same.
After Netflix’s ‘My Unorthodox Life’ came out, which completely trashed the Monsey community, I’m SO glad you came out with this Peter! Much needed!
as an orthodox jew who felt really uncomfortable with the way that show portrayed us, i appreciate this comment a lot
Ah yes, everything is anti-Semitic.
Even anti-Semitism is anti-Semitic.
@@righteousone1 I don't get it why the f*** are you named righteous!?
@@issacmoskovits6769
The same can be said about you, khazar...
@@righteousone1 let's be honest though, you clearly are antisemtic. Just embrace it and stop with the half assed attempts already.
As a jew it feels really good to see so many amazing comments and love on here!! Knowing that we can all love each other no matter who we are!! And no ones hated for who they are!!
This means so much to see!!
Thank you everyone for such amazing comments!!
Thank you Peter for spreading so much positivity out there, to know that ppl can appreciate one another regardless of who they are!!
Absolutely agree. It's a ramarkably bright light in what has fetl, for quite a few years now, like the darkening cloud approaching...but these comments are giving me tremndous hope that America is still our best home since ancient times
I know, usually the internet is so Anti-Semitic, but not on his videos!
Will they be ok if I came to their community?
My grandma worked with Jewish families for over 30 years as a nanny, her walls are covered in pictures of such beautiful babies and families. Much love 💗
this is so sweet to hear as a jew
it's so fun to see Shloime and Peter together. They obviously have such respect and friendship, and joy!
so lucky shlomo survived the HC! He looks much younger than eighty years old. Waht a miracle...all of them survived the HC what a remarkable co-incidence
@@bitcoinisfreedommoney.fckt2663 He meant children of survivors, or are you just trying to be anti-semitic?
He means that if his parents survived, he survived as well as a result
You're so simple..open your mind you'll live a better life
Right
As a born and bred Chasidic Jew I must comment... there is rarely an event or a video that gives me as much joy as well as tears in my eyes as watching the procession of a new Torah. Makes me cry with emotion and dance with joy. It's amazing to watch this event unfold through the eyes of an outsider. Thank you Peter for showing this to the general world.
Baruch H!! Beautiful! May we only celebrate simchas and the coming of Moshiach, may it happen speedily. 🙏🏻❤️
Amen!
Amalek.
Why do hasidic jews stay in new york and not move to Israel? Not being anti-semitic!!! Just curious seen as it is the jewish homeland? Thanks
@@terex9692 according to Jewish law, a Jew may not leave Israel, unless for a good purpose. But one does not need to leave his place to live in Israel, although it is praiseworthy
Welcome back Peter. If you only knew how Hasidim love and respect you. You’re the talk of the town here.
More like a propaganda piece that's being used and abused.
@@righteousone1 that's what you literally do with your life. I kinda feel sorry for you that you don't have a life and are full of hatred towards Jews. Well kinda, not.
@@TagMahirTzedek
Hating evil can never be remorseful.
@@righteousone1 get a life fool...
@@righteousone1 Ok, look in the mirror. You shouldnt have any regrets, although your probably too dumb to figure it out.
I had tears in my eyes watching the beautiful families, celebration, and the excitement for the Torah.
I love this!!! I am a Christian and I love and honor the Jewish people! God bless them Shalom!!!
Toda Raba! Shalom!!
Baruch shalom. It's great that you love Jewish culture. Ur christian Jesus was jewish so it's good ur learning about this stuff all most Christians have some connection to Judaism. Maybe one of ur ancestors was jewish
So young and they still survived the HC- truly amazing...what are the odds? I love historical fiction. 😂
Same Christian but I love and admire my Jewish brothers and have nothing but respect and love for them! I live in Los Angeles California. And my Christian church celebrates all Jewish festivals , Yom kippur , shavaout etc! And my pastor is loved by the Jewish community he isn’t Jewish. But a rabbi gave him a real Torah! And we honor it at our church 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@Markdaamannn wierd. Jews don't even believe in ur Jesus. Yet u honor them? They don't even belive in ur new testament.
I'm really loving this celebration. It's an amazing display of culture and understanding into a world we don't see too often. I loved seeing you dance!
Hey Ken 👋🏻
Hope you do a walk through Monsey one day, Kid!
@@hello9945 With one or more of Julia Haarts kids showing ya around.?! That could be a Netflix special.👀
Ken, you and Peter need to link up and do a walk or something, that would awesome.
@@vitalchance1032 Are you actually looking for an explanation or is this just an attempt to somehow drudge up some old age anti semetism?
I'll humor you I guess...
The first passage refers to the old time rituals of drinking blood, which was practiced in large numbers by worshipers of idols, often those worshiping the devil, or participating in satanic rituals. Jews as such are forbidden from participating in those kinds of rituals, ie. drinking blood.
The brit mila is not drinking blood. In fact, the mohel doesn't ingest the blood, he spits it out. Your attempt to sort of pull similarities and allude to phedophilia is not lost on me. But the ritual is one of our tradition, one which in some forms has been adopted by a massive percentage of the world population in one form or another. While gentiles, muslims, and other's who participate in circumcision may have changed the practices the reality is they essentially just ripped from our tradition. The rules and laws of brit mila are complex, and while you may not understand it, know that every single mohel is well respected, well learned, and is generally considered both medically trained as well as someone with a stable, healthy, background. The brit is usually performed publicly, with the child's parents at his side, and in full view of 10+ adults. Again, destroying your entire premise that brit mila in any way is a form of "’So, the Rabbi.., after a new born is brought into this world, the first thing that he thinks to do is to is cut the foreskin off the tip of a babies penis and suck the blood.."
Edit: after reading some of your other asinine comments, I want to add...
Its literally vile and morally corrupt people like you who wiped out my entire family in gas chambers. The same cut. You must be super proud.
Peter in January: "Well, this has been a good series. I guess I'm done with the Orthodox Jewish community."
Peter in July: ". . .son of a gun, they pulled me back in again."
In all seriousness, as someone who isn't a Hasidic Jew but who is an Orthodox Jew, thank you *so* much for the way you've filmed this series. This is what honest documentary filmmaking should be. You clearly don't fully understand or even agree with everything you see, but that's ok! The important thing is that you've clearly approached this series with an open mind and a desire to truly explore a community that's alien to you, without the same tired old agenda. All that anyone can ask is that we be viewed as full, multi-faceted human beings, and that's what you've done so respecfully. Thank you.
There is one point I wanted to clarify, because it got somewhat lost in the fracas of the Torah party. Jews do not believe that you must be a Torah-observant Jew to be a good person. We believe that non Jews who observe, essentially, the big commandments and live giving lives as good people *are* good people. Also, it is possible to convert to Judaism, although it's a long and complicated process.
In any case, thank you again for this series.
As a non religious jew I still don't really understand the difference between hasidic and orthodox.
@@eden5260 People tend to conflate Chasidism with a level of religious observance, which it isn't, necessarily. Chasidic Jews generally come from Central or Eastern Europe and are followers of a certain Rebbe (rabbi), and have certain traditions set by that Rebbe. Chasidism is also a different approach to Jewish service that focuses on certain things, more emotion and spirituality versus a more textual, "rational," approach so to speak. I'm probably overgeneralizing, but hopefully you get the idea.
Orthodox Jews follow Jewish law and practice. It's an umbrella term that could include everything from Chassidim, to people like me, who are "yekkes" (of German Jewish descent), to more "modern Orthodox" people who perhaps have more direct exposure to secular culture than other types of Orthodox Jews.
In short, all Chassidim are Orthodox Jews, but not all Orthodox Jews are Chassidim. And the media tends to use "Chassidic" to mean "crazy fundamentalist," which also is not true.
@@FayeIL very well explained.
I grew up in Zurich,in a predominantly yekki community and have always appreciated the yekki way of תורה עם דרך ארץ, and the ability to straddle different worlds while staying steadfast to הלכה.
Your writing,in all its clarity, transforms me back to my childhood...
@@eden5260 Orthodox is like a level of how religious a person is and Hasidic is like a specific lifestyle within Orthodox Judaism. Like how there are Italians in Italy and American Italians. Their both essentially the same but their lifestyle differs a bit.
@@ruthreichman6539 It's nice to hear from a fellow yekki! Like you, I appreciate the philosophy of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch.
Switzerland is so beautiful. What lovely scenery you grew up with!
The way she used the comparison of having a child or seeing your child’s wedding, it to me speaks of a common core concept of “welcoming and bringing in/adding someone to the family” and that’s a beautiful way to describe what we’re shown here. Everyone is so excited, everyone is celebrating the growth of their community.
I love these videos, and I love your interview style.
I am 83. Think I'm more tolerant than most. Then your presentations, with tolerance, acceptance, and the desire to learn and having fun, teach me more. Thank you, Peter!
83 year olds know how to use the internet? 😳😱
I love to see this culture thriving! After so many people who have oppressed them, there is no stopping them. Congratulations on the new hand-written Torah!
No, the people absolutely don't want to see them thriving.
Thriving in exactly what? Manipulation, racism and terrorism?
@@righteousone1 How exactly are they terrorists or racist? Go get a life.
I was born and raised Jewish and never knew the culture of Hasidic Jewish people. Thank you for opening my eyes to their culture. It truly is beautiful.
@@righteousone1 bug off. You are the problem and your hate not them!
@@righteousone1 refuah shelaima
Hasidic Jews are so humble. Thank you for letting us an insight into this wonderful community.
Yes I love how they are so honest. Even f you don't ask them if they survived the HC they will just volunteer the "facts" within five mins of meeting you. So humble
humble? they literally think they're gods chosen lmfao
@@Kasperx138that not true, all they do is what the tora said. I know them . think gust about עולם הבא.
@@Kasperx138 Jews believe that every nation was chosen by G-d for specific missions, and Jews believe they are the chosen ones to serve G-d in this world. It's not in any shape or form supposed to be patronizing towards other people :)
I love this series. I'm so thankful they've allowed you to share their culture with the world.
I love the Jewish community. I am in awe of their perseverance and sense of brotherhood. Holocaust wasn't the only one, Jewish people have been persecuted for centuries by almost every culture civilisation you can think of. Yet here they are still standing proud. Huge respect from a Muslim! X Long live Jews and Israel. 💙 And thank you Peter for an awesome insight into the lives of these beautiful people.
It was great until you said long live Israel...
@@Kebbab.213 why not. Criticise the govt. But why target a whole nation. Did we demonise the whole of America because of Trump and Republicans? Do we demonise the whole of Belarus because their megalomaniac dictator?
@@srmalik Do you know on what the state of Israel is built and who suffered from it the most ?
@@Kebbab.213 Apply that same rationale to the US or Britains. Let me help you... Indigenous Americans and Aborgines in Australia. Now let me ask you again, why do we hate Israel as a nation and accept USA, Britain and Australia?
@@srmalik This reasoning is pretty weak. This implies that since we accept those countries we should accept Israel and forget about what they're currently doing and what they have done. Do you see how problematic it is? Also those countries which were built on a genocide stopped those a long time ago. It's not as actual as Israel's horrendous actions. And also the ones suffering are first and foremost Muslims men, women and children. Which is why as Muslims we should especially not say "long live Israel".
Appreciate you showing this side after Netflix puts out shows defaming jews
Which ones ?
@@solinvictus2045 The show is called “Unorthodox”. It was based on True Story about a Hasidic woman escaping the Hasidic lifestyle.

@@musty3azi634 the only thing true about it is that she left the Hasidic community
@@yl9991 And everything else was untrue?
I absolutely loved this series. As a non-Jew, I found it very educational & eye-opening. Thank you for doing this.
Keep learning and looking at this from all sides. Peter has one view. There are sadly, others.
You should just know that giving someone the honor to hold the Torah is a HUGE sign of respect in our culture.
the culture is so beautiful. Many, many civilizations have been so powerful throughout time but all of them seem to have "fallen" or gotten destroyed yet this group of people, who have been targeted in ways unimaginable,from a small area on the map, have stood up decade after decade, millennia after millennia, and today still are stronger than ever. They are leaders in all aspects of the world as well. They do all this with a smile and strength not often seen. It seems the Torah, the Jewish culture and family unity gives them all a clear blueprint to have a happy and successful life without constant need to be vengeful and angry, which they certainly have the right to feel. Amazing!! Mazel Tov.
so many people hate jews. it's nice to see something positive said about us these days.
They were targeted, now they target

@@vernonhardapple6983 I felt for Peter a bit when he had to retreat 100 feet up a driveway behind a wall. I'd have to do the same periodically.
Shloime (and everyone else during this series, really) was such a wonderful ambassador for his community and his religion. He is so kind, so fun, and so passionate about his community and religion that you can't help but fall in love with everyone there.
I hope Shloime, his family, and his community enjoy many blessings and I hope you keep in touch with all of them and stay friends!
Hello Peter i am from Singapore i am 40 years old and i am a muslim. Honestly i really learn a lot about the Jewish cultures perspective perceptions religion and rules from your videos. I think your videos showing about the Jew community does make a CHANGE for us to stop having any NEGATIVITY about the Jews. Thank u so much Peter for your effort and precious times of uploading these useful videos about the Jews. I really appreciate this.
תודה ❤❤❤,iam from Israel, thank you.
Oh wow! I don't know anything about this culture prior to watching this. It's good to see things like this, so we can learn about others.
Check his other videos about hasidic culture, really interesting.
It doesn't look so appealing and looks like a like a strange cult because it's very segregating in comparison to Christian morals and values but they can do their thing
@@aredmi2135 Christian morals, such as the Crusades? Unlike Christians and Muslims, Jews believe that ALL good people will enjoy a wonderful place in the World to Come. Other religions teach that ones who don't convert will sojourn in a Lake of Fire, or worse. You keep your morals, and we'll keep ours, thank you.
@@aredmi2135 all religions are cults
@@jewishpatriots9314 To have a place in the world to come, a Gentile needs to keep the 7 Noahide commandments specifically because God commanded them in the Torah through Moses.
Thank you to this Hasidic community for allowing Peter show us the love, beauty and depth of your culture, that we don’t often get to see. Thank you Peter for bringing us along with you.
It brought tears to my eyes watching the community embrace you and even allowing you to walk with the Torah! What an amazing experience! I can’t imagine the joy it brings you to be a part of these communities and to have them welcome you so openly. In turn we get to experience unique, special traditions and moments through your videos. They are thought provoking which is so lacking in our world today. We need more of this! ❤
Thank you! I appreciate watching the tradition rich in history. It even makes me emotional. I'm not Jewish, but thankful you were given the honor of being there with the community & allowed to film in such a beautiful & respectful light for us to see. Blessings to all people! May love and peace reign ❤️ .
The access Peter has been granted is amazing.
Thanks for bringing us this amazing video with your Jewish friends.
As an open minded Muslim I would love to go and visit their community and learn all about their religion
You should! We LOVE when people care enough to come and learn instead of judging. (Plus we have soooo much in common with our Muslim brothers it’s so fun to compare different customs) I for one would be honored to have someone like you at my table for Shabbat
finally bro, Over the years I do not know what they told people or rather did not tell people, from what I heard they said that Jews are murderers and bad people and there is no basis for that
I wish I could feel just one day with this level of love and sense of belonging, they get to have it every single day ❤️ how beautiful…
I'm a Muslim from Indonesia. Watching this make me feel it's so beautiful and giving so much respect for all the Jewish community in the world. I learned that all the religions teach the good things in life, loving peacefully, no matter what do you believe in..
Love and respect..

Assalamualaikum Ditta aku dari Singapura aku berusia 40 tahun aku orang islam seperti kamu aku sama rasa terharu melihat kebaikkan orang-orang Jew. Bukan orang Jew saja malah di dalam dunia ini tidak SEMUA manusia itu kayak sialan dan tidak SEMUA manusia itu baik! Yang penting kita harus sentiasa berhati-hati apabila berkenalan sama orang.
@@noorimeldaelle3403 waalaikumsalam. Halo salam kenal juga saudaraku dari Singapore.. Ya, Anda benar. Tidak semua orang di dunia itu baik. Terima kasih telah mengingatkan. Thank you for remind me.. Love and respect..
I was raised in NY in the 50' and 60's. My mother was German Catholic; my father was Orthodox Jewish and his family kept Kosher. They raised me Lutheran. My husband was raised Armenian Apostolic and Episcopalian. Although I don't practice a specific religion, I am familiar enough to feel comfortable in most religious settings. I am half Polish, the rest of me is German, Irish and Swedish. All this helps define me as an American. Peter, these videos help me remember my father. Thank you.
Curious....did your parents become Lutheran?
@@user-bw3fl7fj9w No. They had religious values but neither practiced anything more than Easter, Christmas and anniversaries of death. At the time, a Lutheran pastor was the only one they could find willing to marry them. My mother felt my sister and I needed some kind of religious training. The church of the pastor who married them was around the corner from where I grew up so it was easy to attend. My sister and I walked to services every Sunday sans parents. The hard part was that my "friends" during the week at school who attended that church, shunned me. In their eyes, in that setting, I was Jewish which half of me is. Discrimination isn't always that obvious and can be complicated.
@@susanberberian3718 thanks for sharing...I wish you well!
Quit squealing.
Nobody cares about your mother.

I love how the Hasidic Jewish people are so united and are like a big family with such a deep love for their culture and community. They have defied the odds of oppression.
Every Jewish person I’ve ever met has been really kind and polite .
What a wonderful community!!Nothing but Respect!Greetz from the Netherlands 👋🏼👍🏼🌈
As a Muslim, I learned so much. really enjoyable and the Hasidic crew should be proud of their culture.
Peter you do an excellent work showing the reality… I’m Jewish and I hate when people hear so many wrong things about Judaism.. thanks for showing the world a part of us! ☺️
With every video my respect for these people is increased, Thanks a lot Peter for opening my eyes!
I’m not religious but as a person with Jewish heritage I’m really happy to see so many positive words here between people of all cultures. There’s hope for peace and worldwide happiness 👍🏼
I had chills watching most of this.
Such a beautiful, ancient, respectful etho-religious culture.
The music, the dancing, the beautiful-looking people have such respect for those who have come before.
I commented a month-or-so ago above.
I’d forgotten all about this comment, until returning to comment now.
Funny thing is, I’m experiencing the same thoughts and feelings as last month, except I actually started crying this time.
I don’t know why I’m crying. It’s like too much pure love and beauty for a human to take in without some emotional outlet.
Maybe others aren’t seeing it this way and I should really take a long look at my spirituality and if these beliefs are what should lead me.
Please, I would so value reading others’ thoughts.
I can't get enough of the hasidic jews! Every time I see one of your videos about them, it brings me such joy. Thanks, Peter!
I am not Jewish (Episcopalian) however, I love this wonderful, joyous occasion the jewish community made for the completion of the Torah. I love other cultures and I have loved all the work you did earlier this year in the Hasidic community. I am eager for you to go to a Hasidic wedding so we can see it firsthand! Thank you for bringing this to your viewers. By the way, I lived in Cairo, Egypt and it is not uncommon in Islam for the men to separate from the women even at dinner parties. My home had a place for both to retreat to after the dinner had been served. Both sexes feel freer and no one is looking at another man's wife or vice versa. Love your videos!
I gave birth at home and I had to get a Hasidic Rabi to do what they call a Briss....getting my 4 sons’ tallywhacker snipped lol! I was there to love and hold my sons each time. I paid $250 and because I am not Jewish the Rabi has to donate the whole amount to charity each time. He wrote a book and I am in it. There was a slight anomaly with all 4 boys, but I had 2 different fathers. So, he felt he had a thesis that the Mother “molds” the “shape” (for a lack of a better word) of the genitalia. I was honored to be in the book. And....don’t you love to see the closeness and respect this culture enjoys!!!
I wish our whole world could be more like this...joyful and caring.
God Bless❤️
Thanks god bless u!
Proud Hasidic jew.

You're a good g()y,
What a great family event, with an open mind, makes sense. Congratulations.
Really strong bonds
I stumbled upon this page Peter and let me just say IM HOOKED .... so interesting learning of all the different cultures
Great job
This should be shown on Netflix!!!
Forget nflix. Waste of time
Why exactly ⁉️ 🤔
100 percent agreed but unfortunately uts not in their evil agenda to show the good in the chosen nation 😕
Netflix is liberal Hollywood perverts. They hate Jews who fear G-D. Netflix loves transgender, gay, lesbian.......
It doesn't fit their narrative that everything connected to G-d and religion is detrimental to society.
I love the “ bromance “ between these two! 😆 Bros ‘ for life ! I’m loving the brotherhood !!!
I subbed off of this series Peter.
Thank you to the entire family and community for letting us into their lives.
As a Christian I can see and experienced a lot of positivity for having shared in this experience.
🙏🏼 Shalom
This is the first time Ive seen anything like this and I appreciate how respectful and real it was. I found myself agreeing with a lot of their views and Im the furthest from Jewish you can get! These people are THERE for each other and I loved getting a glimpse into their world. I wish there were more vloggers like you.
Well dear, you should see the Muslims. You can’t even imagine. Americans are empty, dull and boring in comparison with both. You have no idea. Hope you can know before you die.
As a secular american jew, I find these absolutely fascinating and very well made. Peter, thank you for doing an honest look at an often misunderstood part of my culture.
Same!
I don’t know how I stumbled across these videos but I love them. It’s so wonderful to see a happy and faithful community!
Amazing,how are you doing today?
Love, respect, tradition and people. Love to the Jewish community and all communities over the world. Peter and Shloime, you are outstanding!
It's such a blessing that Shloime shares this with all of us.
Peter after watching you and Shloime giving such a deep view inside this community I'm just blown away. People that love God, always looking for a purpose in life.. their love for their families and for each other.. I'm just embarrassed and jealous. What an amazing experience this was, definitely I need to make some changes in my life. Thank you! Thank you Shloime!
Blessing to you!
How nice to see Chasidic Jews portrayed in a positive light! Thank you Peter for making these videos. 💖💖😊
Love you two Peter and shlomie you are doing a great job informing us on these really interesting traditions
The kletzmer band at the event totally rocked the house! I played the clarinet from 5th grade to my senior year in high school and I would LOVE to jam with those guys someday!
How many other cultures celebrate the writing of a book??
That’s pretty special
true.
Satan approves.
@@righteousone1 hitler loves ur comment and ur pure aryan spirit
@@hexagramz5115
Satan loves his children.
@@righteousone1 Satan is as imaginary as a Harry Potter character. I feel sorry for you.
And I just love the separation of men and women now and totally agree 💯 it is not done out of Misogyny but of respect and modesty. I formally thought Women didn’t count to them but now I see they actually treasure them!
the talmud teaches about the role of the woman at home.real judaism is about respecting wife/mother.
You are correct. Jewish culture in in fact matrilineal and women are cherished. That said I am not crazy abut separation but I think if the Chossids are good with out, then that is cool with me.
We are not the basement, we are the foundation!

I love their religon they love & respect each other their so festive happy & the kids play happily. Lots of food & drink.
I'm so moved by this and proud to be a Jew. Usually the media does not put a good spin on our life. Thank you so much.
Yeah ok bud
Growing up in the NYC area & being surrounded by so many people, I found that these people are very special as their community & love for one another is unbelievable & their devotion to their religion is beyond special! Bravo to all!
Lmaoooo
@@bryanagudelo2390 why?
@UCORc2u_FUdCtWVUQ6-WMZrA Stay off the drugs
Thank you❤️
Peter, your series with Shlomie is my favorite now. I hope you guys collaborate more! The Hasidim were always so mysterious and standoffish to my eyes, before learning about their reasons to be so polite but tenuous in public as a matter of survival. Keep it up!
I Live in County Antrim, Ireland and I am an Irish Catholic. There are barely a few hundred Jews living in the North of Ireland where I'm from. I met a Hasidic Jew one day in Belfast City centre in an old book shop. I just happen to be reading a book by a jewish author and he started chatting with me. It was by far one of the most interesting conversations I ever had with a stranger. The level of intelligence and knowledge that was shared with me was unforgettable. He invited me to visit his synagogues of which there are very few in Ireland (North). I was arranging to go when Covid 19 arrived so I had to postpone. I was so impressed by the guy that I can not wait to go visit his wonderful synagogue. It unfortunately has 24 hour police protection because it has been attacked by anti semitic sectarian thugs. These attacks shame me and I look forward to offering my support to the small but resilient Jewish community whose Son brought forth Christianity into the world. God bless all Hasidic Jews and their beautiful families.
@@susampson278 it’s not a Hasidic synagogue in Belfast. When I was there a while back the rabbi was Hasidic but the congregation was mixed secular and orthodox and from what I remember many are very elderly. Plus, regardless, it’s always better to take a cue from the local community - that goes for any religion, ethnicity, etc.
What I admire the most is that in a world that is losing values, these men and women are showing us that a brighter future is possible.
"User manual of life". I think we all need one for ourselves and a good one to survive this complicated world and not to get lost, benefit for the entire human race and nature. Respect for this group of people treasuring and celebrating their tradition and wisdom from the past.
We don't need one. It's common sense and being a good human being. We don't need a book, a god, or any man made rules.
I am not saying it's bad to have them, I'm just saying religion is not compulsory to be a good person.
Thank you Peter for showing our culture without judging, and without prejudice.
As a Hassidic woman, I must tell everyone who cares - Hassidic women feel comfortable even when they are separated, there is no need to worry about us :)
In other words. We are not oppressed
Seeing what goes on in the outside world, I am eternally grateful for the loving caring and respectful way that the Torah teaches us to behave, which includes treating a woman as a princess who is not "available to the public". A woman's beauty is recognized, appreciated and cherished. Like a diamond, she is protected, respected, and not left vulnerable to inappropriate interactions.
@@inspiredby621 This video is appropriate...but YOUR comment is NOT!!!
@@inspiredby621 show some respect. You think you're doing right, but you're not.
@@inspiredby621 I will not force my opinions on you, do not force your opinion on me. TNX
How can anyone not love these beautiful people? Thank you for sharing this with the world.
What a beautiful, loving religion. The people are so friendly, and welcoming! I would have loved to be at the celebration!!!
I love those kids. So inocents, so kids. Beautiful. Blessing for them from Dominican Republic.
I was the photographer at this event lol. Pleasure meeting you Peter!
Thank you for capturing the LOVE & LIFE of this community. ❤
im a Chicano/lowrider that lives in the Bay Area. I started keeping the Torah about 7 yrs ago.
Peter you’re amazing. I love this so much. This entire series has brought me so much joy. You’re doing wonderful work sharing people’s experiences and it is no doubt changing lives.
Peter, I admire your interest in the Jewish community and culture. There’s a lot of beauty in the community and we really appreciate that you care enough to share it with the world. Watching these videos brings joy in my heart and reminds me how proud I am to be a Jew! Btw, I highly recommend learning about the sefaradic community as well. Culturally different yet religiously the same.
learn Islam
And I’m sure you don’t have any understanding why your people have been expelled from many countries throughout history, right? 😂 always the victim
@@dr662 no I’m actually not sure wtf you’re talking about. Let me say it again in case you missed the point of my comment - I’m a PROUD JEW - ✌🏼 brotha
@@ellierab5473 that’s great. I find it interesting how your people force western countries to take in millions of blacks and Arabs, but Israel won’t take any. I guess it’s ok for you guys to preserve your culture, but not us. Weird how that works
@@dr662 do you even know where israel is on the map ? Have you ever been to israel ? Israel takes in tons of refugees from everywhere. Please get off of RUclips and learn some history. You’re out here trying to pick at anything to blame and negatively say about another race. Open your mind and learn facts not bs news that controls your mind like a sheep.
Peter, I am so happy you reconnected with the Hasidic families when you went back to New York.. They were such lovely people and I learned a lot.
I loved watching this video just as much as your others! I felt part of their community through the screen✡️
From the jewish people i say thank you peter and for all your comments guys we love u all ❤️
I've got so much respect for you Peter! Best RUclipsr hands down..it's not contest. Your work is full of meaning and insightful content that makes your viewers want to make the world a wonderful one. Thank you for sharing with us the beauty of the Jewish culture..love every minute of your clips!
So beautiful and sacred. Thank you for showing us this. I cannot wait to see the Jewish wedding when you get invited!
This was a beautiful event. I admire the camaraderie and family-oriented aspect of the orthodox jewish community.
I've heard of new Torah celebrations but have never seen one until now. What joy and love I see. It is infectious - I found myself smiling and getting chills down my spine and tapping my toes to the music. I hope I get to see one in person someday!
This is amazing. I wish I found meaning in my life to the extent that these guys do. I have this much love for my family, but the bond they share through their dark history and faith, and the way it connects them is truly a thing to behold. Great content as always Peter, and thanks to the Jewish community for allowing us to see these aspects of your incredible faith.
Gentiles are obligated to keep the 7 Noahide commandments. Good luck.
Lord Jesus is the Jewish messiah and Lord Jesus is coming soon! Come to Christ. He is the way, the truth and the life. He will welcome you with open arms, and wash you clean from all sin. On your own- you can not be righteous before God because we have all broken God’s moral law. Only Christ’s righteousness covering us can reconcile us (depraved sinners) to a Holy and Righteous and good God.
Repent. Turn away from this sin and believe in Jesus Christ. He, God incarnate lived a perfect and sinless life. He died on the cross as a substitute for us and faced the wrath of God for us. He died but resurrected as death had no power over Him. He sits at the right hand of the Father right now. Please call on Him. He comes to all who call on him. Be saved through faith and know eternal life.
“3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”
Isaiah 53:3-12

Thank you for filming this celebration for us. A special thanks to the Hascidics for allowing Peter to film this event. It was a truly wonderful opportunity to learn about this culture.
What indescribable joy to see G*d's Word received with such happiness and respect. This old Baptist is learning much from the Hasidic Community series. Thank you all, and thank you, Peter for this incredible experience!
They reject Christ and the New Testament you uninformed …..
I love how much joy they are all sharing.. It is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with the world.. thank you to the participants as well as Peter! Well done!
I’m a cradle Catholic. And I appreciate this so much. God bless you and all that make you sharing this possible.

Peter You and Schlomie need your own show together. You make a good pair.
In Afghanistan maybe.
I guess "The Ultimate Odd Couple".
God bless Jewish people... The recipe for healthy community life.
Thank you!
