I’m not Jewish, but if anyone were to come up to me and offer me a menorah I would INSTANTLY accept one and try my best to learn about it. I never knew this was a tradition and I absolutely love it.
I was in Israel for two months this past summer (2022) to connect with my Jewish roots, and I met some of the most amazingly friendly people on the planet!
Interesting! What is Diwali about? I am Jewish, Hanukah is basically celebrating the victory we had against the Seleucid empire who tried to conquer our land and kick us out of our holiest city where we had our temple.. the reason for the lights is because we had a miracle happening in our temple, they tried to destroy our temple and we had enough oil to light candles as part of the temple’s ritual
@@Yamsandjams-w4t Diwali is celebrated because our Lord Rama comeback to Ayodhya after 14 years on this day we light up candle and lights and also crackers(sorry for my English 😭)
I am proud to be a Spanish Jew. I live because those before me sacrificed for my betterment. I continue for those who come after. God has given our people strength and wisdom, we will not coward.
i have read in history too that jews have always fought for their lives, such lovely people they are and no one deserves to be treated this way or punished to be a part of a certain religion , i hope more and more people watch this and learn from you how to spread love all around , when he talked about his father of 65 years old getting punched on the face it felt so bad to hear that such racist people still do exist , but these guys were so welcoming and homely the atmosphere was lovely and i loved the vlog, thankyou 💗
Fire tempers blades… it makes them stronger. All the shit us Jews have been put through for our ethnicity has only ever done the same thing. We have spunk. :) Although, yeah, antisemitism does suck.
I just love how all the people in theses videos are just coming from a place of positivity. I learned so much from the beautiful, young Jewish family in this video. Thank you so much for sharing!
I say this in every video but I love this series joining families of different cultures! This one was particularly unique as I felt that I was able to discover more of my own identity having a Jewish father (but not raised religiously). Which family should I move in with next?
Wow! You have a Jewish father? That's cool to learn new things about your family, isn't it? I am Jewish, actually, and I can't help but thank you, for putting a video about our culture (I rarely see those kinds and when I do - there aren't very nice comments...). So... Thank you!!!😃
Try a Salvadorean or Salvadoran family , sorry don't know how to spell it too well, but yeah I am half Mexican and half Salvadorean so I think it would be a good idea 🙂
I'm Catholic, and a good friend of mine is Jewish, he went back to Jerusalem Israel. He invited me to his family's Hanukkah Celebration and dinner. It was my first Kosher meal.
@@Saraaaa81 nope! He's from Israel, not Palestine. Palestine was a name given by the Romans during occupation of region in time of Jesus. Therefore, it's Israel.
@@MichaelBrooksmsb400 that is wrong it was palstiene before the British promised this land wich wasn't there's for the Jews and the Arabs at the same time but it was palastiene
@@Saraaaa81 There are finding numerous ancient coins and items from 3000 years ago in Israel (Yes, its called Israel whether you like it or not) and all those ancient finds are Jewish with Hebrew writing, this alone proves that Jews were in this land way beofre others
It is very important to know that the Jewish world is made out of many diasporas with many different traditions! Joining a Moroccan Jewish family or a Yemenite Jewish family for example would be a different experience to this experience you had with this amazing American Jewish community.
By the way they call it a Menorah but the original Temple Menorah had 7 candles and not 9! The actual name of this 9 candle lamp "Menorah" is Hannukiah. The Hannukiah has 9 candles to distinct itself from the Menorah as it is forbidden to make copies of the Menorah and only the temple can have it
Lots of love from an Indian Hindu to all my Jewish brothers & sisters ❤️❤️❤️❤️ We love Jew community !! One of The most progressive , humble & peaceful ppls of the planet ❤️❤️ Shalom from India ❤️
@@tasneemhatoum6140 just cuz some despise them doesn't mean the rest of the world shares the same feeling. no ethnicity is intrinsically bad. people have to learn to forgive, get along and share resources. only faith in true god makes that possible.
It makes absolutely no sense for people to attack others for having different beliefs. I wish for us all to know and appreciate each other's cultures and just live in peace and happiness. Everyone is so amazing in different ways and most people just want family, love and peace.
This is true, everyone is free in his beliefs, religion, opinions, and ideas, but it is logical and he has the right to defend his land and offer Palestine to the Palestinians.
Would you guys be willing to do an episode with a Sikh family? In my experience many Americans don’t know much about our religion and it’s culture, and more awareness would be greatly appreciated. Happy holidays everyone! Thank you for the work you do Smile Squad!
@@Natural_mum seriously I don’t understand why on earth Jews would think muslims hate them unless they were brainwashed. The whole conflict has to do with the occupation of Palestine in 1948 of people already living there of all 3 religions that got along. Its after the zionists came from Europe after ww2 is when the animosity started as these invaders came and took their homes and land. Palestinians are Christians too. Other muslim countries had jews living in their countries. After the Spanish Inquisition many sephardi jews fled to Turkey and north Africa.
I'm a Hindu from India and I really love and respect the Jewish religion and all its followers. After watching this I feel so happy and blessed and I hope that one day I too can spend some time with a Jewish family. Also looking forward for meeting Jewish people in life. Shalom and Namaste.

Being practicing Jewish, it is very interesting to see both traditional Jewish life, and people who don't know about that getting a taste of the Jewish culture. Hannukkah tova!

I admit, I used to have unconscious judgements and unconscious bad thoughts towards them. Now I’m studying the Kabbalah. I love the Jewish people, they are so kind and loving. It’s all about peace. Much love
OMG…. I LOVED THIS tbh I didn’t even realize it was 25 minutes 💀😂 it felt like 5! This was so entertaining and especially watching as a Jew it was SO cool! 100/10!
Loved the new style and this was one of my favorite videos yet. I look forward to seeing more of this type of content from you. This video deserves far more likes.
That was so nice , because less people know about Jewish culture I love this episode, and also markian would love to see an Indian weeding video it's gonna be so fun
This is so great, I love it! My grandfather is a 100% Jewish, but he never raised his family in any of the culture and religion. I am so drawn though to learn about my family's culture. Thanks for sharing!
This video was so beautiful. We are nearing Chanuckah again this year and it’s such a special and beautiful time and holiday. I was so happy to see the synagogue in the beginning as I grew up going there ❤
One correction: traditionally, women will wear head coverings if they are married and/or particularly religious even if they’re single (although usually only married women wear either wigs or other head coverings to conceal their natural hair). Also, some of the customs and traditions-such as eating bagels and lox and mitzvoim (kiruv)-are originally from and/or exclusive to certain Jewish groups (such as bagels and lox among Ashkenazi Jews, and kiruv among Haredi-leaning Jews at minimum. Even Non-Haredi-leaning Orthodox Jews may be reluctant about kiruv.).
Our former President, Manuel L. Quezon, opened our country's doors to Jews from Germany facing persecution from the Nazis. That's why even though the Philippines is predominantly Christian and Catholic, we have a very strong and special connection to the Jews!
unpopular opinion: hanuka is way better then christmas, because you can clearly see where they got the inspiration from for christmas. like for example: a tree with lights on it instead of a hanukia (its called menora in the non israeli jewish world) that has candles on it and every day you add 1 more candle, we also have gifts, but its hanuka money instead of gifts, and we play with the sevivon (dreidels) and eat chocolate coins, we also have a better version of donuts called sufgania, and more, also easter is just passover, they even have the same name in the original languages (pesakh- passover, paskha- easter), also try going to an israeli jew too, or at least a middle eastern jew, because so many people conquered us and banished us to different parts of the world- you can have black jews that will give you an etheopian jewish experience, or a middle eastern jew that can make you traditional foods and so on
This takes me back when my 4th grade class at school had a Hanukkah party. That was so much fun! The jelly donuts, and the raspberry jelly candies!! I remember eating a lot of latkes and won a game of dreidel and had like a lot chocolate coins. My classmates hated me! Lmao! I think i might be part Jewish. Im not sure. I think my great grandmother on my mom’s side was Jewish. I don’t remember. Lol
It was really heartwarming to watch your lovely celebration of Hanukkah! Thank you for taking us into your home and allowing us to meet your lovely family.
they appear to be ashkenazi and be part of a chabad-lubavitch community, which is a haredi dynasty. im so glad you could give more positive light on haredim, its so rare. ❤️❤️ coming from a breslov haredi jew whos mizrahi.
It's an honor to realize the german influence in some jewish foods like jelly filled donuts "Berliner" and latkes with apple sauce "Reibekuchen mit Apfelmus or just Rievkooche".
Absolutely beautiful, thank you. I have been mistaken for a Jew pretty much all my life, in both bad and good ways - I have experienced my fair share of antisemitism and my fair share of new friendships just because someone assumed I was a fellow Jew. When this happens, you start to learn about the tribe with whom you are mistakenly assumed to be with. I love and admire these people. So I started to attend Shabbat services in support of my Jewish friends and I have found a beautiful and wonderful and wise and welcoming culture of the most extraordinarily resilient people. Having a reasonably good idea about the community and the culture and people is one thing. Attending services for the first time, dropping in for several hours of Hebrew, is truly breathtaking and a whole other level. I also don't think you can ever be invited; a good person of any faith is respected and loved and has no need to be "Saved", so you just have to go on your own if you're interested. Now I am finding myself following along with parashahs, using proper nouns to synchronize myself with the English translation of the Hebrew being read from the bimah, and I am somehow doing this before my first cup of coffee... I am even getting better at using the hair clips to keep my kippah on. Getting good at throwing candy at children (!) is a humourous and unexpected new skill. Torah Service. Wow. To see the founding document of Western Civilization, being read in its original language, is such a great experience that I keep on going back. My first day was Bereshit... today was Vayishalch, and I have been every week. The Rabbi's sermons are great explanations of the reading and how it relates to daily life and current events. I love the body language; you're staring mostly at the back of the Cantor as he reads the prayers, instead of facing the congregation and preaching at you, he is himself just a much more learned person (and great singer!) who is himself facing the Ark with absolute reverence. Attending Shabbat has made my life better and even if you're a non-Jew who is there only to see what it's all about, you will come away as a better person. If your motivations to attend are pure, you will absolutely be accepted. And you will have a great time surrounded by joy and humour. Toda raba. Shavua tov.
What a great experience for you guys - really lovely to see an insight into Judaism without it being pharisaic. The guy, his family and others were very welcoming.
I’m 100% American Eastern European German Austrian Polish Ukrainian Russian Romanian Ashkenazi Jewish and I used to go to a Jewish school, watching this lovely amazing video makes me mentally reunite with my Jewish school because all the traditions and blessings are coming back to me as i watch this video.
Markian’s shirt is cracking me up. First word is “smile,” second is “sonríe,” Spanish for “smile.” The third is “souris.” “Souris” is French for “mouse.” 🐭 Maybe they should have written “souriez.” I can’t unsee “mouse.”
I’m a Christian Baptist but I’m really fascinated by the Jewish religion and tradition I have much respect for them bless you all❤️
I grew up Pentecostal Christian and looking to learn more about Judaism.
They say Jesus is boiling in feces right now. They say He isn't The Son Of God.

I admit, I used to have unconscious judgements and unconscious bad thoughts towards them. Now I’m studying the Kabbalah. I love the Jewish people, they are so kind and loving. It’s all about peace. Much love
Loved this video Markian! I lived in Israel for a summer and watching this was a great reminder.
🇵🇸🇵🇸
We decided to make this our longest video yet and try a new editing style - what did you think of the video? 🙃
OMG…. I LOVED THIS tbh I didn’t even realize it was 25 minutes 💀😂 it felt like 5! This was so entertaining and especially watching as a Jew it was SO cool! 100/10!
I enjoy these videos and learning about different cultures. The longer video is nice because the others felt to short.
It's Awesome.
It's great exploring different religions.
And I also wanna invite you to my country Indian. 😀
Loved the new style and this was one of my favorite videos yet. I look forward to seeing more of this type of content from you. This video deserves far more likes.
Try a Nepalese family
That was very nice. I hope people try to understand and respect each other more.
What an amazing video! Refreshing, entertaining, sublime!
Im jewish and i feel so happy just by seeing my religion on RUclips
Thanks for showing our beautiful culture 💕💕 shalom and shavua tov
That was so nice , because less people know about Jewish culture I love this episode, and also markian would love to see an Indian weeding video it's gonna be so fun
This is so great, I love it! My grandfather is a 100% Jewish, but he never raised his family in any of the culture and religion. I am so drawn though to learn about my family's culture. Thanks for sharing!
ps So sad how much craziness is going on, I feel so sad...we stand with all Jews
@@erint933thank you I am also Jewish🙃
This video was so beautiful. We are nearing Chanuckah again this year and it’s such a special and beautiful time and holiday. I was so happy to see the synagogue in the beginning as I grew up going there ❤
Happy Hanukkah 🥳
I' m Christian Catholic from Italy and I enjoy watching your videos. I'm fascinated by Jewish culture.
One correction: traditionally, women will wear head coverings if they are married and/or particularly religious even if they’re single (although usually only married women wear either wigs or other head coverings to conceal their natural hair). Also, some of the customs and traditions-such as eating bagels and lox and mitzvoim (kiruv)-are originally from and/or exclusive to certain Jewish groups (such as bagels and lox among Ashkenazi Jews, and kiruv among Haredi-leaning Jews at minimum. Even Non-Haredi-leaning Orthodox Jews may be reluctant about kiruv.).
Thank you for sharing! I’m starting to understand the different ethnic divisions of Jews like Ashkenazi and Sephardic
The wife was definitely wearing a wig (sheitel), but you’re are right the husband didn’t explain the women’s head Covering much
I think the wife was wearing a sheitel.
If i were the king of India, I'd give enough land for all jews to come settle. you are a blessed people and we'd like some of that blessing on us.
@@markianb yes there are as a jew im part of the chabad, so the women wear wigs but when in privet with there husband they don't have to wear them
I never knew some of these things about Jews. I thought they were like Christians, but they just don't celebrate holidays. Thank you for this video! 😊
I'm glad you learned something new! That means our mission is working 😄
Check out the Jewish calendar. It's chock full of holidays.
@@markianb We celebrate holidays more than you Christians celebrate
What?😂😂😂😂😂
As an Indian jews are the nicest people tbh , most down to earth
No people is a monolithic group you can say that. Stop, all people of G-d can be down to earth
Our former President, Manuel L. Quezon, opened our country's doors to Jews from Germany facing persecution from the Nazis. That's why even though the Philippines is predominantly Christian and Catholic, we have a very strong and special connection to the Jews!
What a wonderful family. Never knew mine & this warms the soul
Yea!
Big perk of diverse friends: lots of food and holidays
unpopular opinion: hanuka is way better then christmas, because you can clearly see where they got the inspiration from for christmas. like for example: a tree with lights on it instead of a hanukia (its called menora in the non israeli jewish world) that has candles on it and every day you add 1 more candle, we also have gifts, but its hanuka money instead of gifts, and we play with the sevivon (dreidels) and eat chocolate coins, we also have a better version of donuts called sufgania, and more, also easter is just passover, they even have the same name in the original languages (pesakh- passover, paskha- easter), also try going to an israeli jew too, or at least a middle eastern jew, because so many people conquered us and banished us to different parts of the world- you can have black jews that will give you an etheopian jewish experience, or a middle eastern jew that can make you traditional foods and so on
amazing video.🥳 Thank you for opening doors to us with different cultures and religion and actually.. to everything. Bless you.
Thank you for doing this mate 🙏🏻
This takes me back when my 4th grade class at school had a Hanukkah party. That was so much fun! The jelly donuts, and the raspberry jelly candies!! I remember eating a lot of latkes and won a game of dreidel and had like a lot chocolate coins. My classmates hated me! Lmao!
I think i might be part Jewish. Im not sure. I think my great grandmother on my mom’s side was Jewish. I don’t remember. Lol
Aw that sounds like a lovely memory. I’m sure the dreidel competition was intense 😄 thank you for sharing your story!
As jewish information: if your moms side is jewish then your fully jewish. Like your mom's maternal mother, grandmother etc...
Your mum’s mum’s mum or your mum’s dad’s mum?
@@sharingchabadinspiration Exactly.
I am Muslim from Pakistan and I love Israel great respect for you
most jewish people love muslims it's just our government that's in war ❤❤❤
Muslim?!
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 ❤
Abey jaa na ❤️de
This comment didn’t age well. 🔥 ♥️
Oh hell no 🤯🤯🤯
This has been my favorite so far ❤ thanks for doing this one Markian. Shalom, Shalom!
I love Jewish. God will always bless you
It was really heartwarming to watch your lovely celebration of Hanukkah! Thank you for taking us into your home and allowing us to meet your lovely family.
Praying for our Jewish brothers and sisters this season.
Menachem is amazing! Following his comedy work for years!
my god fellow jewish people! Your culture is so beautiful!
they appear to be ashkenazi and be part of a chabad-lubavitch community, which is a haredi dynasty. im so glad you could give more positive light on haredim, its so rare. ❤️❤️ coming from a breslov haredi jew whos mizrahi.
It's an honor to realize the german influence in some jewish foods like jelly filled donuts "Berliner" and latkes with apple sauce "Reibekuchen mit Apfelmus or just Rievkooche".
Absolutely beautiful, thank you. I have been mistaken for a Jew pretty much all my life, in both bad and good ways - I have experienced my fair share of antisemitism and my fair share of new friendships just because someone assumed I was a fellow Jew. When this happens, you start to learn about the tribe with whom you are mistakenly assumed to be with. I love and admire these people. So I started to attend Shabbat services in support of my Jewish friends and I have found a beautiful and wonderful and wise and welcoming culture of the most extraordinarily resilient people.
Having a reasonably good idea about the community and the culture and people is one thing. Attending services for the first time, dropping in for several hours of Hebrew, is truly breathtaking and a whole other level.
I also don't think you can ever be invited; a good person of any faith is respected and loved and has no need to be "Saved", so you just have to go on your own if you're interested.
Now I am finding myself following along with parashahs, using proper nouns to synchronize myself with the English translation of the Hebrew being read from the bimah, and I am somehow doing this before my first cup of coffee... I am even getting better at using the hair clips to keep my kippah on. Getting good at throwing candy at children (!) is a humourous and unexpected new skill.
Torah Service. Wow. To see the founding document of Western Civilization, being read in its original language, is such a great experience that I keep on going back. My first day was Bereshit... today was Vayishalch, and I have been every week. The Rabbi's sermons are great explanations of the reading and how it relates to daily life and current events.
I love the body language; you're staring mostly at the back of the Cantor as he reads the prayers, instead of facing the congregation and preaching at you, he is himself just a much more learned person (and great singer!) who is himself facing the Ark with absolute reverence.
Attending Shabbat has made my life better and even if you're a non-Jew who is there only to see what it's all about, you will come away as a better person. If your motivations to attend are pure, you will absolutely be accepted. And you will have a great time surrounded by joy and humour. Toda raba.
Shavua tov.
Me being a Jewish person this was really cool to watch
Same lol but I’m not orthodox
@@strugglingcollegestudent same
Thank you ssooo much for the video -- I am Asian -- preparing for your country visit

@@areammie No jihad for me, thanks. You should reconsider your support of jihad.
@@ranonampangom2185 huh💀
@@ranonampangom2185 do u even know what jihad is ☠
What a great experience for you guys - really lovely to see an insight into Judaism without it being pharisaic. The guy, his family and others were very welcoming.
Absolutely loved this!!
I’m 100% American Eastern European German Austrian Polish Ukrainian Russian Romanian Ashkenazi Jewish and I used to go to a Jewish school, watching this lovely amazing video makes me mentally reunite with my Jewish school because all the traditions and blessings are coming back to me as i watch this video.
Markian’s shirt is cracking me up. First word is “smile,” second is “sonríe,” Spanish for “smile.” The third is “souris.” “Souris” is French for “mouse.” 🐭 Maybe they should have written “souriez.” I can’t unsee “mouse.”
This video is so wholesome. Mazel tov Markian :)
These potatoe pancakes are called "placki ziemniaczane" in Poland and this is one of the most delicious things! especially with sour cream!
