The second guy, actually seems like he's genuinely interested in his religion and open to express it in a positive and logical manner, he seems very normal and logical and i really respect that!
muslim syrian here🙋🏻♂️
@youwansome he is, it's odd, he always comes off super biased and judgemental, which is something you'd expect from a news station, not someone from youtube lol
@youwansome it's probablly the american side of him, a lot of americans (white americans ) come off very passive aggressive i know becuz i worked in beverly hills for 6 years and a lot of them acted this way , it's just how their demeanor is idk why lol
@youwansome ya dude it's kinda scary, totally get what you mean, they seem like the more you disagree with them or speak in a disagreeable way, they're gna pop off and snap any second lmao
u musli syrian? wish your country back to normal
Yes, you're right. We need more people with that perspective
I like it when people don’t get super mad and shit and just talk and answer questions helping others understand their perspective or what not, respectful people deserve respect.
Most of the Israelis he interviews are like this. Their faces look like they might react angrily sometimes but they seemingly always take a measured approach to their responses. I really respect that.
@@stefan2serb Israelis are intense so they may look angry but they don't take things personally or offensively because they don't feel the need to defend themselves from someone's harmless opinion.
@@morehn the opposite of people in the West these days..

Yeah and he was aware of why he was dressing in an Ashkenazi fashion and could explain why.
So happy you asked this question. I never understood why the Ashkenazi style become so popular and hearing their responses shines light on this subject. Thank you. Love your videos
The answer is very simple ;)
.Rabbi Jewishs are Lies.
GOD HIMSELF HAS CURSED THE JEWS FOR:
The hatred and conspiracy of the Jewish Rabbis with Herod the Great King of the Jews, against the baby Jesus who was born in Bethlehem, ordered the execution of all boys aged two years and under in all of Bethlehem. (Matthew 2:16-18)… “Therefore the Jews were Prophesized for Their Wickedness”: “and they will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled upon by the nations that do not know God, until the times of the nations are fulfilled" (Luke 21:24)
It's about representing your gang colors.

Tamas Jojart So is it ok to state clearly when there are imposters in your gang? Jews pass as "white", if they're able, and most people don't know the difference....
Lmao. As if wearing black formal wear and a big lid hat in the Mediterranean heat isn’t weird.
nailed it.. the thing is almost tragically hilarious it's obvious these people ended up there by someone else moving them like in a video game where the developer moves the polar bare assets to the desert world.. and that's litrarly what happened.
did u listen? he wants to dress as the other soldiers in his bataillon, and that s how they dress. if he was walking in surfshorts and flipflops that might be comfy but that s not how his group dresses, and h does not feel the need to be different just for the sake of being different or little more comfy
Yeah bitch. Go into Teheran or Egypt and tell them they dress stupidly -- too covered up. I will laugh when they drag you into the desert stark naked. You will wish you had sheets and towel to cover yourself to protect you from the searing sun.🤣
Then go into the deserts of Arabia and the hot plains of Africa and look at how the indigenous people dress. Covered from head to toe. I admire those who cover their flesh - this is the trouble with today, too much flesh on display and usually too much of it to look at!
@@molossergirl2 Ya cause the desert storms of yemen are totally comparable to the paved palm tree lined streets of tel aviv lmao
As a black woman, born and raided in Brooklyn, NY, I was always curious about my Jewish neighbors... your videos helped me get a better understanding of my Jewish neighbors.
Just out of interest, why didn't you just ask them personally? Maybe it's not socially acceptable over there to ask that kind, or something?
@@milat9287 Sometimes, people here in New York City get upset or defensive when you ask about their religion. They don't know at first if you are making fun or genuinely trying to understand their customs to be more respectful. So, when you ask about their hair and cloths they can get loud and angry. These videos are easier.
raided lol
Raided?LOL
@@TomorrowWeLive NY is dangerous XD
This is so fascinating. There seem to be internal social pressures in Israel, and some kind of bowing to Ashkenazi Jews from Europe, even from Arab Jews who's heritage (and dress) are local. I respect the drive to practice their religion in peace, but any kind of arrogance or placing themselves above other Arab peoples -- particularly now -- is such an irreligious attitude. This Ask project is so valuable. Thank you
The whole of israel is a European idea. Colonization, ethnic cleansing, and racial supremacy.
Is it really? I always thought Mizrahi held more social status because they were seen as indigenous and belonging to Israel more. In the video it seems like they just want to fit in with the Rabbis they got their influence from. I'm not Jewish so perhaps I am not able to read between the lines of what they're truly saying.
On a second viewing, it is a bit chilling to hear several call themselves soldiers.
You should get out more.
I'm not sure arrogance over Arabs has anything to do with how the Jews/Israelis dress. I was in Egypt in the 1980's and the men mostly wore a light colored robe (galabiya), with maybe 10% wearing modern Western clothing, and 99% plus of the women wearing a black robe (gallibaya) and hijab, which they would hold with their teeth to partially cover their face. I have since seen pictures that appear to show a large percentage of Egyptian women wearing modern Western clothing out in public (some without sleeves, shocking, I was physically assaulted for wearing short sleeves in the extreme heat in 1985), which surprises me, since I know that 86% of them are still "circumcised"; a horrible procedure which greatly increases the danger of childbirth. With Gaza in the News so much recently, I've noticed that ~100% of the Palestinian Arab men appear to wear modern Western clothing, while many of the women still appear to wear the traditional robes and hijab. I doubt that either Egyptians or Palestinians are being pressured by Europeans/Americans to dress like us, they just seem to prefer it.
The thumbnail looks like jewish post malone tho

That’s interesting the explanation that the religious dress codes are meant to show group identity, like a military uniform.
Yep I fell into it. lol
Yosef Roth so did I. 4 years in the NAVY. 4 long years. Lol
Yes, and notice how modest it is as well. I think there could be more to the story as well....great topic to research.
Karen Abrams Yes, it's very interesting. I saw a group of Mennonites in Frankfurt Airport in September of 2002 and they dressed similarly to the way Ashkenazi Jews and Sephardic Jews do.I could be wrong, though.
It`s obvious, isn`t it?
Palestinians were always saying that Jews of Palestine were ripped away from their own heritage and now I understand their words. It was bizarre before because I thought that being there in Israel meant all Jews were now in tune to their heritage. But it seems that every Jewish community except for Ashkenazim lost their own unique identity and assimilated into becoming European out of some form of sociological cohesion instead of valuing their uniqueness. This community damage and loss of heritage can never be repaired nor restored, much like ancient Hebrew. Once lost it is lost for good and all there is, is a Eurocentric reconstruction version of Hebrew. Devastating. Poor people.
So so true! 😢
I first heard about it from an anti-Zionist Mizrahi, he showed me a very old documentary in which the Ashkenazis colonizers didn't even consider the Mizrahi to be Jews.
I am Sepharadic and used to be Charedi as well. The cloths just was never a big deal for us because we cared more about the Mizvas and the Torah and not so much about the superficial clothing. I think you're misunderstanding out culture big time. Sepharadic Charedi Jews do keep their traditions just in different ways such as in prayer and holidays and Halacha. We juat don't wear the clothing that we took from the Arabs because we don't feel it represents us it feels weird.
Mizra Jews have been brainwashed by the Zionist
There was a lot of discrimination against Mizrahi Jews when the state was founded. One reason Netanyahu has been around so long is because he’s very conscientious about courting and elevating African and Asian Jews.
“My parents dress like this”, “we stand out”..........none of which are religious reasons. As if others created a dress code to identify Jews easily.
Those quotes definitely raise more questions than what they answer. It makes sense, but it absolutely doesn't all at the same time.
im muslim from algeria and your channel really opened my eyes thanks peace be upon us all

Salaam a'leikum to you , Monsieur, that's a nice comment!

Tony Lohi because they are from bukhara lol - read history you d******, and the imam bukhari was also from that region
I actually think it's a shame that Ashkenazi culture seems to be overshadowing so many of the Mizrahi and Sephardic elements. Those people have so much to give culturally.
Also as a somewhat mean remark, though it's meant in good spirit, the Ashkenazi influence on modern hebrew is extremely apparent to me as an outsider from Germany: Oftentimes hebrew just sounds like random gibberish with a very strong German accent to me. Heh.
@chained2it I didn't mean to offend you, it was more of a funny observation. And I was talking about the way the language sounds, above all, not necessarily the way it's constructed or the words it uses. It sounds very much like Germans making random sounds to me...hey doesn't mean I'm not intrigued my hebrew, I'm certainly planning to learn it.
@@kaptainkafir6231 That's a very simplistic view on culture and history and frankly it's wrong. The history of Jews in Europe is one on isolation, persecution and pogroms. Hardly a "friendlier" climate.
@chained2it I just found this quora post where the first answer explains it really well:
www.quora.com/How-does-Hebrew-sound-to-the-non-Hebrew-speaker
I'm actually surprised to see that I'm not the only one who feels this way haha. That dude explains exactly what I was trying to say.
@chained2it Here is another answer to the same question, which does an even better job: www.quora.com/How-does-Hebrew-sound-to-the-non-Hebrew-speaker/answer/Judy-Koren/
@@Synochra I didn't say friendly, I said at friendlier. Someone like Spinoza and or habermas didn't evolve in the Muslim world. Persecution, progroms and massacres were the norm in both, Europe and the middle East. And it's not simplistic but simplified, there's a difference.
"Why, as a third generation Pakistani immigrant to London, do you dress like a roadman?" Same difference.
@Joske Vermeulen Well not really, or they'd be living in America.
In Spanish we say something like: "the dress does not make the fair". or "The beard does not make the philosopher".

@@mutant-zombieleaves9501 , drinking alcohol is actually part of Orthodox Judaism you are supposed to drink [moderately] at weddings and on Shabbat etc. (The Bible is full of stories of people drinking) , tobacco and marijuana is frowned upon because of health reasons but some Orthodox Jews still do it.

I'm from Holland and we gave up almost 80% of our Jew population up to the Germans that's why i've had pretty much no contact with a 'real' Jew whatsoever.

We see the same in the Muslim community. Before the 1850 everything was very colorful. When Wahabism came more and more woman dressed like the Orthodox Middle-East Jews the Black Chador. That’s what you nowadays days see in KSA/Emirates even the Native European Muslima wana dress like that. As a Native Dutch (Born Muslima) I don’t understand why this is a trend. Every Culture is so colorful if you are Christian, Jew, Muslim. Why change your history. Don’t change! I saw old pictures from the Maghreb, i didn’t saw the different between a Muslima and a Jewish Woman. Maybe it’s a statement to dress like a Polish Jew.
'Weird'?!? C'mon, embrace your Middle Eastern roots! 'Weird' is succumbing to cultural Ashkenazim dominance and wearing clothing designed for sunless, wind swept, cold Eastern European Weather, totally not the most adequate clothing for sun drenched East Mediterranean. Is it me or does it also seem that paradoxically some also wanted to separate themselves from what might be perceived as 'Arabic culture'?
Yes, exactly. You are spot on!
They don't want to be confused with arabs whenever they find themselves in the crosshairs of an IDF visor...
Very interesting video. I think maybe they wear it because (a) It builds a sense of belonging, that they are visibly part of a particular community. (b) It's also a bit like 'uniform dressing' that people like Steve Jobs used, it's hassle-free. You don't have to spend needless time every morning trying to choose what to wear. You already know what you're going to wear that day. (c) It looks nice, smart, not too fussy. 👍👍

Benjamin Tallmadge (February 25, 1754 - March 7, 1835) was an American military officer, spymaster, and politician. He is best known for his service as an officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He acted as leader of the Culper Ring during the war, a celebrated network of spies in New York where major British forces were based.

Hello, Shalom, Salam, Thank you for the nice sharing place and i learned so much about other people. Thanks
When I see somebody so tribalistic that they have to change their look to be accepted by their religious group, it raises red flags for me - that person is very likely to be ignorant and discriminatory towards others not fitting their “tribe”.
Did anyone else notice how many compared the reason for the way they dress to the reason a person in the military wears a uniform. That seems off to me. I can't help but think indoctrination.
Eurocentrism is a powerful force. Wow.
It's the system that created all your technologies, so give them back and go back to your tribal way.

"Just like in the Army." Sounds like they have the same level of free thought as soldiers in the Army.
It’s sad
It takes a higher level of thinking to willingly take on such a burden of responsibility and discipline
@@yaqo6577 I wouldn't equate 'force of will' with higher brain power-- although that's the type of propaganda you hear in the military. They can coincide, but they don't necessarily go hand-in-hand. Remember all those Gestapo officers that were "just following orders?" They had 'willpower' out the ass, but no one would confuse them with high-level intellectuals or philosophers. They were actually quite the opposite of free-thinking men.
Well if you think about it everyone in a group of a kind dresses in a certain way. Goths, Punks, Business man, Prostitute, Skateboarder & ... Religions. There is an 'fashion' you want to belong & feel part of. Army is different really as that is a job uniform, the others are personal choices of groups you admire.
Nobody has free thought.
They dress the way they want
Its their culture
I think its fascinating they have
Such Great character and unity
correct because a real Israelite would not be seen dead like that! They are so fake it is unbelievable, and is rather hilarious!
Pretty important to hear genuine, on the ground opinions from people living in Israel. It actually helps clarify things for people like me who tend to think everyone is practicing the same form of Judaism. Also important to point out the European influence. I hope the intentions of these videos are well meaning, as it helps me to dial back my own rhetoric, while at the same time , explaining some of the things people call me crazy for thinking. Either way, I wish all well :)

Didn't you know that most Palestinians forebears came to Israel from neighbouring Islamic countries to find work in the flourishing communes of Israel. They weren't born there any more than most of the Jews of today.
Palestine at the time of the first Jewish migration was a desolate swampy, barely inhabited land. Those Arabs that did live there did nothing for the land. They simply existed in abject poverty. Nobody wanted to live there.
Now the Jews have made it a paradise - they all want it back.
Please go and look at the history of Palestine from a non-biased perspective. What was it REALLY like in Photographic evidence.
This was really interesting.
What the man said about wearing the uniform of the Yeshiva school makes a lot of sense, since we sent our kids to a Catholic school for a few years, and they had to wear a specific uniform, too. I hated the way they looked, but they had to wear the uniform or be sent to the principal to be sent home to change every day. In the city where I live, it’s possible to tell the Catholic schools children attend by their uniforms. Anyway, as an American, I will also say that what people wear is their business....if there are Moroccan Jews who want to look like their grandparents, fine. If they don’t, fine. Whose business is it?? Theirs. Correct!
Lol, the second guy pretty much put the question to rest
A very interesting video. Thanks for this..I hope the sephardic and mizrahi culture will thrive and will not be forgotten because going by this video the ashkenazi seems to be dominant, at least within Israel. In Iran there are many Jews and most of them are Mizrahi and I think their dress code is very different to the Ashkenazi dress going by a few documentaries I've watched.
this feeling can only be based on observing the orthodox, or ultra orthodox Jews. If you focus on "secular" or tradionalist Israeli Jews, the dominance is getting more and more Mizrahi.
European/Ashkenazi Jews have disconnected a long time ago from the "European" heritage. Classical music, ballets, operas..not really there.
Pop music in Israel includes more and more elements of Arab/Turk/Middle eastern elemtns, and that's beside the whole big genre of "oriental/mediterranean music"
The food is totally middle-eastern, quite hard to find restaurants or street food based on Ashkenazi cuisine.
Mizrahi tradition is well kept in synagogues, holiday dinners, amongst most Mizrahi population, whereas secular Ashkenazi people drift away from religion and tradition, living a life so very different than their ancestors 100 years earlier - with Mizrahi Israelis, there's much more continuity.
I'm impressed how much they know about their history.
they do ancient thing, for that way they know
like that Tallmod who said my father side are all white people and mom side was Turkish Yemenite so in one word he has no fucking DNA of Middle Eastern Jew just wanna be Jew.
I guess you hold onto your culture and history more when it's been threatened

Incredible mission here this channel. God bless.
Hi Corey, I've enjoyed many of your videos but this one disappointed me. I feel like it was based on two faulty premises - 1) Sefardim are ashamed of their heritage and 2) that's why they dress like Polish Jews. As to the first point - people who do not dress like their grandparents are not necessarily ashamed of their heritage. Many Americans whose parents/grandparents immigrated from India/ Pakistan / China / (enter country of your choice), do not continue to dress in the official, formal style of their country of origin. Most of them look like...21st century Americans. And it's quite possible that your grandfather did not wear red t-shirts when he went outside, and yet your wearing one, is not a rejection of your heritage. As for the second point - the people who dress in the black and white "uniform", are not dressing in Polish garb. Rather they are dressing in the current style of the chareidi yeshiva society to which they now belong. The fact that the style originated in Poland - a favorite mocking point for all anti-chareidim - is really irrelevant. However it came to be, the current dress code for the yeshiva world is the black and white uniform. And people who identify with that society dress that way. And Arabs who dress in modern western clothing are not rejecting their heritage. And secular Israelie of Moroccan, Persian, Bukharian etc. descent who wear western clothes instead of traditional clothes of their grandparents, are not rejecting anything...
Exactly. No one dresses the same way as their ancestors did. I am sure the person behind the camera also dresses different than his great grandfather. People dress the way their society does. The bias in the question (copying others /rejection of your tradition) is ugly.
Whilst I agree with you I think Corey's point was that polish aristocratic garments from the early days of chassidus (i.e. modern yeshivish uniform) arent the most practical dress choice for a hot Middle-Eastern country and since there are other ways to dress that maintain all the other halakha including modesty yet keep you cooler why not adopt them instead?
I think what is being explored is the cultural chauvinism of the Ashkenazi community and the fact indigenous middle eastern Jews have accepted this in the last few decades. It’s sad because the culture of ancient communities will soon die out.
@@StevenCovey-ct3sx Both communities are about equally indigenous. In fact, some Mizrahi communities are Arab converts. Not that it matters.
That's not the point. Ashkhenazi dress style and customs aren't native to Israel but to Europe, mainly Eastern Europe. They don't originate in the Middle East, so why should Middle Easterm Jews wear Polish, or other European dress? It's not like it's become the "standard" dress for Jews everywhere, lol However, with that said, it seems the main reason is the Sphardic and Mizrahi yeshivas have died down and the Askhenazi yeshivas are the most common so that style of dress is de rigeur there.
Ask them if they have had their diversity and inclusion training.
I love your videos they are very informative. There aren't many Jews where I live and I like to learn about other religions and cultures. As a Christian I feel a connection with my fellow lovers of God.

When you dress a certain way in traditions of Jews it's like a uniform in the military, Air force vs Army, etc. You can tell by the uniform to which stream of Judaism one belongs to.
Sad , they (Mirzahi and Sephardic ) have all conformed to how a modern dress of the Ashkenazis. Why? Because they dominate the society. Mirzahi and Sephardic traditions, food and songs are awesome. I do like the uniform reference, it allow the others and outsiders aware who's team you associate with.
I just returned from Yeshiva in Israel. I own LEGIT 40 whites shirts, and slacks. I can wear a different white shirt for like 2 months without washing them.. I can't dress without looking Yeshivish. I recently bought a pink shirt like 2 weeks ago, and I was like a baby shopping for candy. Oh gosh. I hope I can get the courage to wear it...
The question is simplistic in that he constantly says "Poland". Even though their are many different Ashkenazi dress codes generally and even within Poland there where varieties.

These people are some very interesting characters. Thanks for letting us meet them and opening our horizon.
The second guy is the most correct, although it goes back further than just the past few decades. Ashkenazi emissaries began influencing the religious communities in parts of the Arab world during the nineteenth century since new economic opportunities, and the education from the Alliance Universale Israelite, gave more incentive for gifted students to go into more lucrative jobs rather than the rabbanut. So there was a decline in religious observance, yeshivot following an orderly curriculum, and so on. They also affected the culture of the Sepharadi yeshivot in Palestine during the twentieth century - which was evident at Porat Yosef for example, which refused to teach philosophy or theology, and followed a more typical Lithuanian curriculum (much to the chagrin of people like hakham Uziel, who pushed for a more traditional Sepharadi curriculum).
The Lithuanian influence just became far more pervasive over time, and also included the hassidic factor with Chabad, Breslov, and Satmar going after them. They keep some customs and their liturgical rite, but to some extent, they're barely Sepharadi anymore (ok, this is hyperbole). They'll be more likely to cite Isserles or Kagan than Duran, or even Maimonides and Alfasi, for Jewish law. Same with Rashi or other Ashkenazic commentators throughout the ages, rather than people like Ibn Ezra or Kimhi, or other exegetes who followed what was more typical in the Mediterranean areas.
Thank you for sharing this.
Mas Tun, quoting Rama or Mishna Berura has ZERO to do with actual halakhic behaviour, just follow ANY Mizrahi learning at ANY Lithuanian yeshiva home for Pesach/Passover & watch him IGNORE Ashkenazi decrees & EAT THAT RICE! Just because someone LEARNS Mishna Berura doesn't mean he follows it.
Raanan111 I guess reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. I said *"They keep some customs,"* and I never said they follow those sources. I was implying they follow the typical methodologies of Ashkenazi posekim, which are different than those of Sepharadi ones (e.g. we generally stayed away from pilpul sophistry, and studied the halakhic reasoning of the geonim). I was also implying that they *should* be placing greater emphasis on studying Maimonides or Alfasi as our communities typically did (they were the main halakhic sources which we followed, even if we also followed Karo and some other aharonim).
As an aside, many don't actually end up eating rice, legumes, and all that on Passover because they accommodate Ashkenazim (no, it's not because they're too lazy to sift through it). While other Ashkenazi customs, some old, some new, have started to become more common (for example, seniut and mehisa "laws"; following the nine days, even the three weeks period, instead of shavua shehal bo; going through insane measures to check for bugs in vegetables even though checking just means removing whatever is visible under normal conditions; waiting 6 hours to eat dairy after eating something cooked with meat, like soup, but not eating any meat itself, when there isn't that prohibition to wait etc)
@@Mas_Tun What??? What do you mean that Mizrahim are today "barely Sefaradim?" Sefaradi means following pesaq Sefaradi, do you think it means anything beyond that??? Chakham 'Ovadiyah Yosef could blow away any poseq Ashkenazi in pilpul & all rishonim use pilpul & calling Ashkenazi pilpul "sophistry" is borderline anti-Semitic. Can you give me any examples of following gaonic reasoning in RIF, RAMBAM, RITVA, RASHBA??? I mean, I've seen then RARELY mention a geon, but their reasoning seems original. WHY do you think Mizrahim should be following RIF & RAMBAM & why do you drop rabbinical titles like an Ashkenazi? Are you dismissing the ROSH because he was Ashkenazi??? The RASHBA certainly did NOT do that! Do you consider gaonic reasoning to be superior to that of Rishonim??? Which Mizrahi poseq does not use pilpul today? The downside of Ashkenazi pilpul is not moving toward a practical pesaq because of doubt.
Maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not talking about "Mizrahim" (I hate that term) altogether. I'm talking about the ones who are part of the yeshiva or haredi world and are heavily influenced by Lithuanians and/or hasidim.
Borderline anti-Semitic? Are you out of your mind?
And Sepharadi posekim did *not* historically use pilpul. It was heavily criticized during the Middle-Ages (although that term is more closely related to Christendom, but I'm just using it as a general time frame). Even in Maimonides' time, the students of his yeshiva in Egypt were instructed to study his Mishneh Torah in order to make halakhic decisions in order to avoid them misusing pilpul.
Alfasi was basically the end of the geonic period and studied under Nissim ben Jacob in Kairouan. Maimonides' rulings were closely related to Alfasi and they differed on a handful of occasions (he's also an indirect pupil via his father, via Migash). The same can be said of the Andalousian tradition in general.
They were followed because they generally codified the Talmud, and did not give much precedence to local customs (which isn't entirely true, but mostly the case), nor, like later on, to customs which originated among the mystical tradition which emerged in the end of the twelfth century. They were the standard among the Jews in the Muslim world. Karo even mentions that regarding Maimonides in Avkat Rokhel. That's why I mentioned them; I wasn't name dropping, nor was I saying they were authoritative because of who they were like the typical gadolatry.
I didn't say it's superior to the Rishonim. I was saying that our communities often (albeit not always) followed those same kinds of sources that our rishonim used. Obviously there's going to be diffusion from other sources, and I didn't denigrate that either. I didn't say anything about Rosh, for example, who influenced Karo. What I did attack in the original comment was that the later geonim, early rishonim, and aharonim of the Sepharadic world are not taught as often nowadays. Even after Shulhan Arukh became more standard, our hakhamim were still intimately familiar with those other sources (even including relatively modern ones, like Uziel, Messas, or Chelouche). Even mori Qafih and the Dor Daim, which are classical in approach, are controversial among many religious "Mizrahim" today, when they really shouldn't be.
I landed in Dubai dressed like that and I was pulled in front of the line during pre-boarding for my connection flight. They didn't even bother to check my (German) passport, only looked at it from the outside and let me pass without checking. So that was a nice experience.
I'm a Catholic I totally get it. We have lots of groups who wear distinctive clothes. Such clothing is usually simple and modest, but sometimes hard to understand. That is because the particular style of dress was chosen sometimes hundreds of years ago and while fashions changed, the clothing worn by a particular group did not. We refer to such religious garb as a habit. Mother Teresa's girls wear a specific habit that fits India but they keep the same habit in every country. Religious garb is a good idea, any Catholic may be wearing religious garb or other items on his person at any time, it is common, just not often noticed. One form of religious garb among Catholics is called a scapular, it is a piece of cloth worn around the neck and hanging down the chest and back. There are many kinds of scapulars with many kind of purposes, they are a form of clothing. Such thing evolved for a time when people wore large symbols or representations on their clothing, as time went on the size of the representation became smaller to the point where one usually wears such things under a shirt or such type clothing. Such things are used to remind one of the things of God and how to behave, and, depending on the thing worn, it may call down the assistance of God through something we call grace. Grace can have kind of a wide range of meaning and is kind of specific to the moment and circumstance. The most important grace would be the indwelling of God in the soul, in such a soul which is received in a special way at Baptism it is called sanctifying grace and represents being in relationship with God as His friend and child. If one sins seriously, then that grace or indwelling of God, is lost, one may end up in hell, separated from the creator. If one repents, he can receive this grace again. There are many kinds of graces. The grace to be a good parent. The grace to do well in a math test. There are as many kinds of special graces as there are needs.
Religious garb or uniform is a good idea all around, it serves to remind the wearer who he is and how he should behave, it serves others to see dedication to the holy things of God and it does the world good to see that there are those concerned with God and His commands. This also provides, hopefully, some idea as to modesty in dress, which is a very serious problem in the world.
There is no downside to loving the creator and keeping the 10 commandments and study of the scripture. Catholic scripture includes all the Jewish scripture and sees it as the foundation to the New Testament scripture. Protestants lack some books that Catholics include. Catholics include the book of Tobit Protestants do not. Don't ask me why.
Amen brother, all true! To the last question as to why Protestants don't have a the old testament books-its a long story but essentially they cut them out under Luther. In traditional protestant bibles they moved them to the back and said they are optional to read but not binding on faith, now they lost them completely. Luther didn't like them because they contained accounts of too much Catholic seeming ritual (which is because our Catholic practice are rooted in Jewish scripture of course) but mostly they didn't like them for the same reason the Jewish Rabbos didn't: The deuterocannon (thats the name for the books of Tobit, Wisdom, 1-2 Maccabees, etc) was written during the time of the Babylonian captivity and that somehow lowered their rate of inspiration. Now that last part I don't understand. Look upCatyholic videos on the subject, they are enlightening. Pax Christi!
Thanks!

Peer pressure would be if someone felt pressured to do something they don't want to do by their peers. It seems mostly like "identification," when you see others you like and respect doing it and so you choose to do it too. It is also one of the principles that explains why people dress like movie stars, professional athletes, and rock stars.
This came off as a bit condescending. That’s like asking you why someone from England doesn’t dress like Shakespeare. Styles have changed. Yes the style is influenced from the ashkenazi tradition but it doesn’t mean Sephardim are ashamed of their backgrounds.

Some really good questions - really interesting answers as well!
So many compared the religious clothes to military uniform and it's ok to wear it in at least most countries.
When muslim woman is wearing the hijab for only religious reasons, some counties are not allowing it because it's "terrorist" clothing.
Clothes are just clothes and it should be only between wearer of the clothes and Allah/Elohim/God what people wear.
If you watch the last Jew of Babylon its really depressing. The elderly man is proud that he is an Arab Jew and loves his culture he comes to Israel and his "assimilated" family ditch him in an old people's home. His sister looks with disgust when he says they are Arabs and refuses to speak Arabic. Ironically, he became closer to the Palestinians in Jaffa and his cleaner than his own family and other fellow Jews who just left him to rot and only showed interest in him when they thought he could be used for anti-Sadam propaganda to show how evil arabs are.
@bobrzycapola wtf?
I would prefer the old Sephardic dress
This. If they are going to claim to be from the Middle East (Canaan) they should at least dress like it. But I've seen some orthodox Jews wear robes and a skullcap like middle eastern way
@chained2it Based fuckin comment, they never claimed to be from the middle east or have middle eastern DNA. They are pure Europeans who adopted Judaism hundreds of years ago in Europe etc. So it makes sense that they would dress more like European people.
@@lordofthebeltsthereturnoft1127
Nice job echoing moronic internet theories that are false and don't make any sense. Oh hey, let's convert to some random religion and get persecuted for 500 years. Sounds like a plan. Dumbass
@jeisa Jeis oh are they? I like your theory based on what Jimbo and Mike told you on Facebook 5 years ago. Like all great misinformation, there's a grain a truth to conversion of women but it mostly happened before Ashkenazis existed. It happened in pre inquisition spain. You know that thing that you don't understand and want to ignore.
People obviously dress like the place they live in unless they are specifically trying to preserve something. They also eventually start looking like the people. This has always and will always happen if you're being honest. Stop repeating old racist ideas about blood and purity. Modern Jews themselves are guilty of believing they are pure whatever. Nobody is pure. Not even arctic people living in the fringes.
Me too; it’s more colorful.
It's really a shame, I think we should celebrate our beautiful differences. Bring back the sudra, bring back the colorful Bukharian dress. Personally, I live in Tel Aviv and wear a kippah and tallit katan with tzitzit under "normal" secular clothing, so it's kind of a mix. I really don't like the dull way of thinking that wearing the same thing every damn day is 'dressing well'. You can wear a nice fitting pair of jeans, a t shirt or whatever, and vans and still wear your judean garb along with it. While I'm at it, also bring back the original pronounciation of ח,ע,ק,ס,ת
Don't you mean the original pronounciation of צ as opposed to ס? Haha
They were pronounced one way, the dual pronunciation came in the Babylonian captivity
Simply put: there is NO religious or Torah reason they dress this way. It's all about tradition, nothing more. As my father would say if you're not man enough without the clothes, no amount of clothing will make you a man. I am so glad I serve a God who looks at the heart and NOT external empty religiosity.
You serve your version of God ,your own ego
The hairstyle and beards are similar to Ananuki style, surprised no one has ever passed a comment on the subject.
This video underscores how the “dominant” European culture soon overcomes the less sophisticated indigenous cultures around the world. People inherently do not wish to be seen on as ignorant and unsophisticated so they quickly assimilate and copy the habits of the perceived dominant culture and/or elite. Things happens slowly at first, then all at once.

Richard Feynman on uniforms......
Synthesis: Never look to the uniform to find the man. The man makes the uniform, not the other way around. A uniform confers no knowledge, no excellence, it is the person underneath that adds value to the trappings. Honors or uniforms - they are a costume designed to broadcast a message, regardless of whether that message is true or not. A man’s actions, his contributions define him. This is an exhortation to never forget that who you are doesn’t matter, only what you do matters. So chase the beauty of accomplishment, do something rather than try to be something, and never evaluate a man by his epaulets.
To be honest, that's a very obvious idea, and Feynman merely expressed it in a very wordy way.
