interesting fact about Kosher meat, because of the strict standards in which Kosher meat is butchered, cleaned, drained, and prepared for packaging and sale, the USDA does not require nearly as much oversight over Jewish butchers because their standards of cleanliness are legally defined as far beyond the basic requirements of the USDA and there has never been any reason for the USDA to change that exception in over 100 years.
Absolutely 💯 correct ❤ I firmly believe that eating Kosher is the best and most healthy way to eat. Many non-kosher eaters have so many yummy troubles due to the foods they eat and the way they eat. I have some friends that were interested in eating kosher like myself and once they did they noticed how much better they felt with their digestion, etc.
The Rebbe sent a couple to my city over 70 years ago and they were such a blessing. They founded a Jewish school with Torah study and the usual academics; they were always so willing and welcoming. I love Chabad.
Crown Heights reckonizes the importance of being a true community. Many of us forget how valuable that can be in life. Have a great weekend Hava 😊 .. If you can , see The Cure at MSG next week. Pretty awesome show by some old rockers ( My favorite band )
It really was neat to pop into such a tight-knit community within this vast city. Wow, I hope YOU get to see them perform. If they're on tour, hopefully that'll give you an opportunity. You have a great weekend as well!
But don't you find that this lack of assimilation impacts lifelong experiences, in that it isolates you from other cultures? I'm not certain how many members of the Hasidic community opt to leave, but when they do life in the United States must be for them really challenging.
@@pip393I grew up with these people and went to their school...it was so painful just like a cult... I left 50 years ago and found a greater superior way of life in yoga and Buddhism where you can actually experience and be infinite Divine peace and love and bliss 🙏🕉️☮️☸️☯️🥰
Right!? So many interesting pieces of information. It was especially interesting for me to learn about the orthodox men's attire since I've seen them walking around but never knew why they dressed that way. There are so many cultures in this big city-- glad I had a chance to share a behind-the-scenes look at one of them!
Indeed, I also seem Orthodox Jewish in my area in Ohio but they don't really go outside their little community which includes a school for Orthodox Jewish people! If you ever come to Cleveland Area...there is the maltz museum in nearby Beachwood which is a museum of Jewish history and culture past! When I come down in November I want to check out more of the Chinatown Neighborhoods And Also Little Italy neighborhoods! Take care beautiful lady😘😘😘 xox
@@adventureswithcarl123 Chinatown is an area still on my list to create content on for this channel. When you visit, walk through Little Italy to see it and experience the area, but for an AMAZING Italian restaurant, consider eating at Emporio in Nolita (it's just 2 blocks north of Little Italy)! It's one of my favorite Italian restaurants.
You are so welcome! To be clear, NYC is my home, but this neighborhood is not. Tour guide Mayer generously showed us around HIS home/neighborhood! Anyway, I’m so glad you enjoyed this video. I hope you peek around the channel for other videos you’d like too!
Thank you! I hope that my videos can serve as an opportunity for the viewer to join me in the learning process so that we have a shared experience. I appreciate your feedback on this video!
Exciting! And wow, you started with one of my longest videos! I hope you’ll stick around for more NYC fun. Keep me posted if there’s ever something you’re specifically curious about. Happy to provide a link to the video and/or even consider making it!
@@edwardleecaliforniausa This video was filmed in Crown Heights, Brooklyn! (Which is a very long walk from Manhattan.) Was there anything in this video that stood out to you?
The Jewish Brooklyn Tour would be right up your/her alley! If/when you visit NYC, it’s definitely something to consider. Something else I’ve covered is the lighting of the world’s largest menorah! czcams.com/video/MR1GbUROOL4/video.htmlsi=6wyAKRq1Z1fmPSK8
Hi I have always loved living in New York and Brooklyn، I would like to know why the Hasidim wear black? And why this style of hats that resemble cowboy hats?
Thank you! That was an amazing tour! I am learning more about Jewish culture and I absolutely love it and the Jewish people. Peace and love to everyone from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.❤️🙏🇺🇲
Thank you so much for sharing the value that this video serves on your learning about the Jewish culture! I also love that you shared where you’re from- all the way across the country! Happy to have someone kind like you here- hope you are subscribed! 😊✨
Thank you for your comment appreciating the culture! Although this isn't my particular culture, I really appreciate it when other people embrace the diversity of the world too. We don't have to participate in-- or even fully understand-- the traditions of a culture to appreciate the fact that they exist and make our world more culturally rich! Have a lovely day!
This video is hard to watch due the lens that is being used. Whenever you are inside everything is filmed the way realtors present living spaces to make the room look bigger than it is in reality and very elongated. Not good.
4:02 The women buy wigs that match their own hair color. But, they wear wigs to cover their own hair, so that no one will see their own hair except for their husbands.......but they're buying wigs that look like their own hair. Seriously, WTH??? Then why wear wigs? My husband & his family are Jewish, and my MiL wears wigs all the time, and let me tell you, those wigs are exact duplicates of her own hair (color, style, cut). She said she's wearing wigs to be modest, and not have anyone except my FIL know what her real hair looks like, but yet she buys wigs that are identical to her real hair. This is just plain asinine.
There It's always some stupid rule to oppress women in religion. I'm sure there's many many more horrible rules that keep the patriarchal aspect of their society. Got to keep The women lower than the men so they can be subservient and provide endless amounts of free labor and children.
I would like to interject this conversation to remind everyone to please be polite and respectful of cultural differences. I welcome genuine, nonjudgmental curiosity to spark, meaningful conversations. However, some comments here are making assumptions and judgments, rather than truly looking to learn. To be clear, wigs are not part of my own background or future. I am not joining the conversation about wigs in this particular thread of comments because it is clear that the tone here is not open-minded. The standard of behavior in my corner of the internet includes respect. If you would like to engage in conversation kindly, I would absolutely love to hear from you! 🤍🤍
Yes and no. My understanding is that beef (which comes from a cow) is permitted, as well as the other meat items mentioned based on the kashrut criteria. And yes, dairy is allowed. They just don't eat them in the same meal (such as a cheeseburger or cheese chicken-burger, like you said). Hope that helps clear up any confusion!
You should have known Crown HTS back in the '50s and '60s. It was a much more interesting Orthodox community. This video is just another CHABAD commercial.
Hey- I created a 30-minute video for your free viewing pleasure and that’s your only comment? Why did you waste time writing it? 🤔 (no actual need to reply to this…)
Very cool! Thanks for sharing! It definitely seems like a tight-knit community. Perhaps this tour would be a cool introduction for you two to see the community!
As a Jew I’m happy your are teaching kosher laws but at the same time I feel like Brooklyn has become a meat market for tourists… I’m Kinda torn. When I come down to NY I don’t expect to go on a “ tour”… everything is about social media likes now… kinda Makes me sad. Real ultra orthodox shouldn’t be making money off social Media for tours. Just saying. Oy vey
You are missing the value of a video like this! This is educational for persons who are curious about the Jewish community. We all have to live in this world, and we have many unique customs that others don’t know or know but not understand. This is a wealth of information that explains why the Jewish neighbors do the things they do. Excellent video.
@PROUDCANADIANGIRL I really appreciate that you shared your perspective of mixed feelings! You have a right to feel this way. For what it’s worth, I wanted to learn about and share this culture but didn’t know how else to do it. Plus, even if I did have a personal connection to get an insider look at this Jewish community’s customs/traditions, I love sharing experiences that viewers have the opportunity to experience too! As far as the existence of the tour itself, something that I did not include in the video- it’s 30 minutes long already- is that the tour guide discussed the importance of discovering our similarities while valuing our differences. It was a very enriching experience for everyone on my tour. Especially at a time like this in the world, I hope this video is appreciated. To carry the conversation to a more positive position… I’d LOVE to hear about your New York favorites! What do you most enjoy doing in the city?
@rudyburgess8106 Thank you for seeing the value in this video! I worked hard on it and only aim to provide positive value. Also, thank you for the compliment! 😊
Read through the comments, and you'll see that plenty of people have appreciated the content in this video. And no, I have no information about the tunnels.
It’s all a matter of perspective. I liked that the tour guide shared the motivation behind their customs upfront before the walking tour began so that we would understand that the customs are motivated by how they understand the Torah. I hope you found this interesting to watch!
I'm not sure I fully understand the question. I mean, yes, the men work and contribute to society. They can have jobs rooted in religious traditions, such as the scribe, but there are also men who work typical jobs, such as businesses, medical, etc. This video simply highlights the religious practices of people in this community. :)
Probably due to the same reason most foods are certified as halal in the UK when the uks pop of Muslims is 5%... they don't want to alienate consumers. If a company manufactures food and it has nothing contradictory to Jewish dietary law; why would they not certify it as kosher and cash in on that 2% of the population?
@@neljay9149 Why? Because Jewish organizations charge them to certify it. Certification is a tens of billions of dollars racket. Typical Jewish shakedown scheme.
@rkreznik If we are truly talking business, then you must consider the fact that these food companies have finance and accounting departments that have likely considered the cost of certifications against the revenue they are likely to incur. Please proceed cautiously when making assumptions about a topic that you do not know much about.
@@hava-media I know enough. Jews make up 2% of the U.S. population, pressure companies to "certify" their products for a fee (to appease 2% of the U.S. population) and occasionally "recertify" for a fee. That's all we need to know about this racket. That, combined with our knowledge and vast history of Jewish behavior and schemes. The evidence is plentiful.
With all due respect, this is not the appropriate place to write this comment. Please interact with cultural content on my platforms in a considerate manner.
This is a cultural tradition. If you are genuinely curious, I'd advise you research the custom with an open mind and adopt an attitude of appreciation for the diversity of cultures in the world.
It’s Jewish law/Halacha, married women are required to come their hair, mainly because the status both physically and spiritually change. Spiritually in Kabbalah the hair of the married women starts to attract klipah (unholy energy) so with that, they need to cover their hair.
Rude comments are not permitted in my corner of the Internet. If an unkind thought pops to your mind, please do not share it here. If you would like to contribute something meaningful to the conversation, I would absolutely love that.
My God don’t require me to wrap something around my arm, or wear a hat, grow my hair a certain way or face a certain direction, or my wife either. God only asks EVERYONE to be worshipped in spirit and TRUTH.
Your phrasing “My God” is great- people have different religious beliefs, and that’s okay. You have a right to yours, but that’s what they are- YOURS. I ask that you continue to maintain your own beliefs while respecting others’. Thank you! 🤍🤍
The video is very informative and I enjoyed watching it. They seem like nice enough people but if their ancestors had converted to Baptists or Harry Krishnas instead of Judaism 800 years ago their lives would have been so much simpler. Our lives would have been simpler too. There wouldn't be protests about Gaza at universities. We could still have prayer in public schools in the United States. We wouldn't have a federal reserve. We wouldn't have all of this gender confusion stuff. Just saying. The real mothers of the Ashkenazi people were four Slavic women who lived in Eastern Europe eight centuries ago. Hava whatever you are , whether a real Sephardic Jew or an Ashkenazi convert you are a very lovely and attractive young lady!
Baffles me how antisemites blame EVERYTHING on the Jewish people spread German 1930s Antisemitic Slanderous Tropes, but are delusional to defend their “opinion” as “true not antisemitic”. You people just want to have a scapegoat minority to slander and make yourselves as a superior Ethnicity/Race not unlike Germans of 1930s Reich. How shameful.
Excuse me, but this kind of comment is unacceptable to post in my space on the internet. This video is a space where we have been welcomed into a community willing to share their traditions and customs-- and many communities are not so generous. Just as this video has been directed with a spirit of interest, respect, and appreciation, I expect the same in return from viewers. Curiosity is good. Appreciation is great. Respect is a necessity. I'd love you to participate in the conversation here, but please reserve unkind/inconsiderate comments and instead only comment on my videos when you have something meaningful to contribute. 💙
Satmar is the name of the group of Orthodox Jews located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This video covers the orthodox Jewish community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
@@hava-media what about Israel Jews. I think they r same Hassidic or Hebrew. What is a problem .? I do not understand.? U guys r same. Same with Muslim. Shia or 🌞 sunny. U want power or God. ? Please forget all drama. U r not going any where.
@chetanjoshi2159 I honestly have no idea what you’re trying to say. I’d like to redirect this conversation to the intention of this video, which is simply highlighting one of the many cultures that exist in the melting pot of New York City. In my corner of the internet, cultural conversation is approached from the perspectives of curiosity and appreciation. Please keep your comments respectful. Thank you!
This video covers the culture and traditions straight from the source of someone who lives it. There are some variations in traditions even among similar communities, however. That does not make this information wrong; this video is simply focused on the Chabad community of Crown Heights. If you are a reputable source of information and would like to share your credentials, please join the conversation in a kind, meaningful way.

Doesn't nature reveal to you that it is a shame for a woman to cut her hair? Nature is the way of God,
WIGS REDICULAS??? CUT YOUR OR COVER YOUR REAL HAIR TO WEAR A WIG???? WHAT IS THE PURPOSE????
This is a cultural tradition. If you are genuinely curious, I'd advise you research the custom with an open mind and adopt an attitude of appreciation for the diversity of cultures in the world.
It’s Jewish law/Halacha, married women are required to come their hair, mainly because the status both physically and spiritually change. Spiritually in Kabbalah the hair of the married women starts to attract klipah (unholy energy) so with that, they need to cover their hair.

Rude comments are not permitted in my corner of the Internet. If an unkind thought pops to your mind, please do not share it here.
If you would like to contribute something meaningful to the conversation, I would absolutely love that.
Sorry for my opinion, let’s try a fact. Ezekiel 36:18-23. A quote from the REAL GOD. God WILL NOT be mocked by anyone
So what you’re saying is that you have no social graces. Got it! 😂
My God don’t require me to wrap something around my arm, or wear a hat, grow my hair a certain way or face a certain direction, or my wife either. God only asks EVERYONE to be worshipped in spirit and TRUTH.
Your phrasing “My God” is great- people have different religious beliefs, and that’s okay. You have a right to yours, but that’s what they are- YOURS. I ask that you continue to maintain your own beliefs while respecting others’. Thank you! 🤍🤍
They save the 🥓🥓🥓 bacon for the Russian Jews.
The video is very informative and I enjoyed watching it. They seem like nice enough people but if their ancestors had converted to Baptists or Harry Krishnas instead of Judaism 800 years ago their lives would have been so much simpler. Our lives would have been simpler too. There wouldn't be protests about Gaza at universities. We could still have prayer in public schools in the United States. We wouldn't have a federal reserve. We wouldn't have all of this gender confusion stuff. Just saying. The real mothers of the Ashkenazi people were four Slavic women who lived in Eastern Europe eight centuries ago. Hava whatever you are , whether a real Sephardic Jew or an Ashkenazi convert you are a very lovely and attractive young lady!
Baffles me how antisemites blame EVERYTHING on the Jewish people spread German 1930s Antisemitic Slanderous Tropes, but are delusional to defend their “opinion” as “true not antisemitic”.
You people just want to have a scapegoat minority to slander and make yourselves as a superior Ethnicity/Race not unlike Germans of 1930s Reich.
How shameful.
Why 💭💭 are 🖤🖤 the space 🚀🚀 👽👽👽👾👾👽 aliens trying to take our 🥓🥓🥓 bacon?
Satan central
Excuse me, but this kind of comment is unacceptable to post in my space on the internet. This video is a space where we have been welcomed into a community willing to share their traditions and customs-- and many communities are not so generous. Just as this video has been directed with a spirit of interest, respect, and appreciation, I expect the same in return from viewers.
Curiosity is good. Appreciation is great. Respect is a necessity.
I'd love you to participate in the conversation here, but please reserve unkind/inconsiderate comments and instead only comment on my videos when you have something meaningful to contribute. 💙
The irony of a user naming themselves "Adolf" calling a video about orthodox Jews satan central... projection at its finest!! LOL
R u satmar.
Satmar is the name of the group of Orthodox Jews located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This video covers the orthodox Jewish community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.

Hassidic or Hebrew. What is a problem .? I do not understand.? U guys r same. Same with Muslim. Shia or 🌞 sunny. U want power or God. ? Please forget all drama. U r not going any where.
Peace is important.
@@chetanjoshi2159you have a lot of confusion.........
You need to seek answers.
@chetanjoshi2159 I honestly have no idea what you’re trying to say. I’d like to redirect this conversation to the intention of this video, which is simply highlighting one of the many cultures that exist in the melting pot of New York City. In my corner of the internet, cultural conversation is approached from the perspectives of curiosity and appreciation. Please keep your comments respectful. Thank you!
So much misinformation it's sad.
This video covers the culture and traditions straight from the source of someone who lives it. There are some variations in traditions even among similar communities, however. That does not make this information wrong; this video is simply focused on the Chabad community of Crown Heights.
If you are a reputable source of information and would like to share your credentials, please join the conversation in a kind, meaningful way.
You are obviously the one who is misinformed.
