    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.

      @@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.

    • @FayeIL
      @FayeIL 2 года назад +31

      @@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.

    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.

Plus, regardless, it’s always better to take a cue from the local community - that goes for any religion, ethnicity, etc.

      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.”
