for the past 3 years starting Rosh Hashana 2107 my local Chabad has as almost been a second home and family to me. I have learned so much and have a much stronger connection to my faith and heritage. I am so grateful.
I was clicking around looking for Sukkot videos when I found this. As soon as I saw the Squirrel Hill locations I was hooked into watching the entire video. So very nice to to open up your home on Shabbat for so many students. Beautiful challah, too :)
Individuals and groups that value the warmth of a Jewish home and a positive Jewish environment (some do it for the challah, the maztah ball soup, and the brownies! :) ).
@@jaykaye7025 No-- I'm Jewish and I went on a trip to Panama a few years ago. They have a vibrant Jewish community and many kosher stores and restaurants 😄
Im Polish but I love your shabbat. I cant understand why we catholics believes that sunday is Glory day...But even when...We are not celebratting...rather fight ;/
@VictorLepanto Thank you for making my point for me regarding WW2 and even Orthodox Jewish veterans who must have been a lot less insular and accepted DISPENSATION for the sake of The War. Even today, Observant Jews accept their service in the IDF but the ultra-Orthodox in Israel need "special units;" they do not accept ANYTHING regarding dispensation. Also, there were few Hasidics in the US before WW2; I would be curious as to their reaction to the draft, & the like, even during The Cold war
Yes, it‘s not allowed to produce (work) on shabbat and therefore also cooking is not allowed and everything must be cooked before. From the experience is great cause you have really nothing to do, you can rest.
No, we cook so that we don't cook from Friday night to Saturday night, which is the sabbath. We don't do work, defined specifically in a iist, on sabbath.
Keeping Shabbos is so great! What would also be great if Chabad would come with me to a Veteran's Cemetery and help put the little American Flags on all the graves in preparation for Memorial Day! But none of them would ever do this.
@SatchmoSings: As I've said, Jews have fought for America ever since the Revolution. One of G. Washington's closest aides-de-camp was a Jew. He was nearly as close to Washington as was his closest aide, Hamilton. Most Jews in the U.S. during the Revolution were actually Sephardic, so no notion of reformed or secularism existed amongst them. Not that I am saying reformed & secularism are the same thing. An excessive bigoted secularism often makes it needlessly difficult for religious Jews.
I am black and Jewish student from Montreal. Sure, there are more black Jews in big cities but race is irrelevant. Why they stared at you? Most congregants know each other. When a new face shows up, they might want to know who you are, where you are from and who you know they might know (Jewish geography.haha) It's like having a new classmate midway through the school year. Next time, attend Friday night service (it's shorter) and stay until kiddush. People will greet and engage with you warmly.
I would love to go to Shabbat (My father is kinda Jewish),but I always feel kinda nervous to go.Like I know people will look at me strange so I always end up leaving early or not going at all :/ My uni had a Shabbat 500, but when I walked in everyone started staring at me, which made me feel uncomfortable. Even the Rabbi look at me strange. I'm black and I know a lot of Jews are not used to seeing black Jews attend Synagogue, but no matter our skin color or religion we are all children of God .
bamafencer12 If this "group" of people were truly concerned with your skin color ,then please find another place, where the believers are actually practicing their faith .
bamafen I sympathise with you SO much. I am nit of African or whatever origen,but on the very rare occassions that I've had occassion to attend jewish ceremony, the looks and stares because I don't have a hebrew word in my vocabulary. The fact that I don't look pr speak like a jew and anything else you can think of make me feel SO uncomfortable and embarrased and out of place, that unless it's a matter of life and death or no way of getting out of it. I refuse to attend any such occasion. The Jews are supposed to be legendary for their warmth and hospitality. Well, in the places I had to go to, as the English saying has it," it's not so that you would notice it." I was admittedly an outsider and they made sure that I knew it.
@@jovaniskandar5089you may feel that way though you're not thought of that way. You should know Jews are curious about newcomers. We want to welcome you. Let us.
@SatchmoSings: Most private businesses are open on those days as well. Those are private schools, though St. Vinny's was always closed on those days when I was a boy. The Jews do have extra holidays they need to observe, so maybe it is difficult for them. Chabad hardly defines Orthodoxy. I've read the works of Herman Wouk, who is Orthodox & a veteran of WWII. If they are neglectful on this point, address their leaders & see if it makes a difference.
Businesses owned by Jews are not, except for people who practice what's considered the "Reform" way of Judaism. We have a lot of holidays, besides every sabbath is a holiday. We don't 'observe' holidays, we celebrate and enjoy them. You read Wouk so you know all about Judaism? Interesting.
@VictorLepanto 03] Oh, and one other thing; I've never seen a Jewish Day School that was ever closed on Memorial Day and/or Veteran's Day let alone a day trip to a US Veteran's Cemetery; if the Boy Scouts can manage to go to a Veteran's Cemetery to put the little American Flags on all the graves, it strikes me that some Chadadniks and their followers can do it, too but they don't.
Shalom. "Then the Lord said to Moses, 13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy. Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed". (Exodus 31:12-17). Nice Video. Todáh.
@SatchmoSings: Then your experience is not only unusually narrow, but unusual to the point of being bizarre. Jews have played a prominent role in America ever since the Revolution. Large numbers fought in the Continental Army. George Washington wrote a famous letter to a synogogue commending them for their patriotism. As for Christians, King George said that the American Revolution was a rebellion of Presbyterian ministers.
This was in 2009. Things have changed so much since then. The Jews seem to have given up on the younger generation and the focus is now on the black hat community.
You obviously haven't been to a Chabad House lately. I was at a bar mitzvah at the house of the Chabad rabbi of UVa a couple of weeks ago, one of the first Shabbosim of the school year, and there were tons of students there.
Judaism isn't a 'culture', thanks. It's a relationship with G-d. Every aspect of our lives is part of it. How is it 'different'? We really don't know nor care, since that's not what we focus on. We focus on doing what G-d needs us to do. Judaism has been continually the same for 3333 years.
@VictorLepanto Honoring your country is a Jewish value, largely promulgated by Jews who lean towards secularism; it has been my very own, personal experience that very religious people of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have no interest in Memorial Day, The Fourth of July nor Veteran's Day. This has been my own, personal experience; you'll have to ask those that pointedly choose not to participate this question.
@VictorLepanto Since this is NOT what I claimed, your making the strawman that you have is obviously quite handy, but only to you. You will now, of course, ask me, "but what then did you REALLY mean" as if it wasn't clear enough the first time. I see your need to compare the Touro Synagogue congregants of 1790 to more current streams of Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Judaism; that's obviously the best you can do and it's quite frankly quite wretched.
@VictorLepanto 01] Another stawman; no extended notion of secularism existed among (just about) ANY of the US population at the time, not just Jewish people so your point is totally without context and just reeks of apologia; the whole idea of godless secularism didn't become a genuine reality until after the US Civil War. I see you're one of "these people" that condemns the secularism of This Great And Grand Republic; this doesn't surprise me in the least.
@VictorLepanto You talk about excessive bigoted secularism; I'm sick of people like Maryland State Senator Nancy Jacobs who did, as Jaime Raskin said, "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible." And you're complaining about the bigotry of Secularlists!!!
Guest on schabbat are a mitzva and it’s not allowed that they pay for it in any way. On many places is normal that jewisch families open there home and invite people for shabbat. In case of chabat houses the families get help by donations.
Why does this upset you so? People "afford" what they choose to. Some people spend money on "things" while others use their money to create connections like this.
@VictorLepanto 02. There are many Jewish people who have proudly served this country; I would like you to introduce me to some "Frum From Birth" who are Chabadniks (or also of the typical demographic of "The Jewish Press") who have been in the US military; the only ones you could introduce me to would be those who are Ba'al Teshuva so stop handing me such stupid bullshine.
That's not very nice to say. When you have your own dinners do you want people judging you so harshly? Everyone seemed to have a great time. What's 'better' than that?
for the past 3 years starting Rosh Hashana 2107 my local Chabad has as almost been a second home and family to me. I have learned so much and have a much stronger connection to my faith and heritage. I am so grateful.

Awesome!
No kidding! I love that album!

I do this every week with my school. It is fun
chabad is the best thing ever!!!
This is why I have an affinity for the Jewish people, that sense of belonging.
Really?
Individuals and groups that value the warmth of a Jewish home and a positive Jewish environment (some do it for the challah, the maztah ball soup, and the brownies! :) ).

I don't get it, you cook for two days? Friday night and Saturday??

No, we cook so that we don't cook from Friday night to Saturday night, which is the sabbath. We don't do work, defined specifically in a iist, on sabbath.
Was the film filmed on Shababt it sure looks like it was(:
+Daniel If you read the disclaimer at the beginning, you would know that was filmed Sunday night.
You didn't see the disclaimer, though it was filmed on Sunday since to do it on Shabbat would be a desecration of the day.

That's the Erev, right?
No it was on Sunday.
i wish i was there i wonder if there any in england luv to u all :) xxxxx
