    Shalom Shloime. I also am a sub to Peter's channel and so enjoyed watching the Hasidic videos with you, your lovely family and others in the community. As I posted in Peter's channel on the Torah dedication video (which was wonderful), I spent time growing up around Orthodox and Hasidic Jews as I was raised in NJ. But I never knew anyone from these communities as the twain never seemed to meet as folks lived in their bubbles. Your videos with Peter have greatly influenced me and given me "eyes" into your community which I never had. I greatly respect the desire to hold on to tradition and am extremely appreciative of how the ladies are so modest and always look lady like and proper. I've observed this in NJ when Jews come over from Lakewood and surrounding areas to shop at Costco or go to the beach and are always dressed respectfully with the ladies always being covered and in their dresses or skirts. It impresses me and I wish more would be like this. I became a Christian (I was raised Catholic so that is another story) when I was in my early 20's and I wished then and even more so now that such modesty would be found amongst Christian ladies. It is in some places, but it can be a rare find.
    I'm never over in Brooklyn but if so some reason I ever see you I'll be sure to say hi to you. You really are a fine man and I really enjoy your personality which shines in the times I've seen you on camera. Gonna sub to your channel. Peace to you.

      @@ShloimeZionce it just comes from the heart. The guy who put Hitler into Power (Franz von Papen) came from my hometown. Rosenthal used to live here befor he started his business in porcellaine, I'm living next door to the old Jewish cemetary... but most important: my Grandmother wasnt afraid to tell us Kids about the war and what happened to the Jewish Population, about everything she could remember what happened in our town. she started to tell me when I was about 6 or 8 years old. It aaalways was a topic and I will forever be thankful for that. She always told me to never forget. I won't.
      Looking forward to see more of you Videos in the future!
