As an American and Christian, I don't understand the latest rise in the prejudice against people who practice the Jewish faith. These people are not harming anyone, they are not taught to hate people of other faiths, they are peaceful, kind, and polite. Their religious beliefs are their own business. Stacey's question of wondering where the dedication to follow the faith comes from, it's faith, it's belief. People of faith, believe they are honoring God by following the teachings. The Old Testament is the Jewish faith. If she wants to understand, she can watch The Chosen. It lays out faith very well.

There is a Hasidic family across the street from me. The husband is a rabbi. He explained that the reason for men and women not to touch is for the protection of the woman. He said a man and woman can give each other a hug, and to the woman it’s nothing more than a friendly hug, but the man might be off to the races in his head, thinking it’s time to get a room. I appreciated his humor, and in my experience men tend to think whatever they want to think, with no connection to reality. It was nice to hear that this is for a woman’s protection. I had thought it was because we were considered unclean.

Very good on you Stacy for leaving for Shabbat. I grew up with Orthodox Jewish Grandparents. I myself am Christian, but was taught all the Orthodox Jewish rules and traditions ❣️ My Nana & Great Papa were survivors of the Holocaust. They were Americans,but went back to Germany to help family and somehow ended up in the camps💔‼️ Luckily, my Nana did tatting (a form of sewing) that caught an officer's wife's eye and she took my Nana and Great Papa under her care...but my Nana was NEVER THE SAME💔... I only remember seeing the Number Tattoo on her arm.. when I was a little girl, she rocked in a rocking chair and wouldn't speak💔. I was told my Great Papa passed when my Father was 2. That would have been in 1949. My Nana remarried and I ONLY knew my Great Grandpa Benny 🥰, he was a wonderful person who took care of my Nana until she passed away... One of the customs of Orthodox Jews is that a daughter is the one that will care for the parents... My aunt was legally disowned before I was born... And I grew up knowing that I would be responsible for my Grandparents 🥰❣️ I left California as a young child.. but I ALWAYS KNEW MY GRANDPARENTS WERE MY RESPONSIBILITY ‼️ I took care of them up until my Grandfather passed away... Once he did, My husband & I made the necessary DECISIONS and FINALLY GOT MY Grandma here to Hawai'i... She spent the last 4.5 years of her life with us... My husband & our 3 children 🥰❣️ She's now buried here❣️ I might not be Jewish by birth... but I honored them to the best of my ability 🥰❣️ 💞 ALOHA FROM HAWAI'I 💞🌹 LYSSA 🌹

This is really heartwarming. I’m a Jewish-American subscriber who was raised with Conservative Judaism (not as strict as Orthodox), and grew up being friends with a Chabad (same type of Orthodox as this family) family of 16. They are wonderful people, but are often even more demonized than those of us who are less traditional. A lot of people don’t realize that once you look past the cultural differences, they are just the same as anyone else. Also as someone who does adhere to some Jewish laws, like keeping kosher, a lot of these things become second nature. I’ve never wanted to eat non-kosher foods, I can scan the ingredient list of a food container quickly, etc. I don’t find keeping kosher inconvenient. So for a lot of these rules, it’s so ingrained that it doesn’t feel like much work. Of course, for some things, there is self-discipline exercised, but I think you also get used to exercising that amount of self-discipline. Seeing you get to stay over with this family and be invited to partake in our culture puts a smile on my face. Especially in the face of ever worsening antisemitism. ❤

Thinking about the part of the prayer of Jewish men that gives thanks for not being born a woman, it seems that could be interpreted a different ways, one being that in some ways women have the more difficult life, especially in that bearing and raising children is not so easy. It's not necessarily because men are seen as "better" than women , though some might interprest it that way.

As they say different strokes for different folks. Fascinating to see how others believe & live. As long as no one is getting hurt and it's a muchual belief who am I to judge how others want to live? I do enjoy their sense & saftey of community. Thank You ❤ oh and what a beautiful family!

I think you are free to leave your religion any way you like, just don’t try to impose your beliefs on others. The jewish community is a perfect positive example of that!

@@beigelr2262 very true. I think i would keep it simple too. I would have said Torah is a relationship tool that Gd gave us to get close to Him. So by keeping these laws we are building a relationship. And i would give an example of husband and wife who see all the details in there lifes with each other and do together for each other. And say just like when we for example go out of our way and give the gift are wife loves even though its harder to find so to we go out of are way to make Hashem 'smile' to build that conection. Or imagen having a book with every detail of what your wife loves and hates. And all you have to do to have a good loving caring holsome marriage and deap meaningful relationship would be to follow that book. The Torah is that book for Gd.

This was so interesting to watch. As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, the Holocaust is to this day very much tied into my identity as a Jewish woman, but rather than it casting a shadow, it makes me proud to be Jewish. I am also not Orthodox and straddle the line between tradition and modern-day living. I admire this family very much, and Stacy’s respect for the family. I hope they are all doing well post Oct. 7.

15:32 The couple’s explanation of their dating , and marriage made sense to me. I knew my husband for three months before marrying him, and he understood I had religious beliefs, and that I went to church. He wasn’t atheist , but didn’t attend any church either. It was very difficult being married into his family, and to him because he/they knew nothing about my religion (Latter Day Saints/Mormon).

Coming from a family of 12, it reminded me of my childhood days. Anyone coming from a numerous family will relate to this video, regardless of their religion beliefs. There was no way i wouldn't make my bed without having my mom realizing soon enough. I really enjoyed this video and Stacey asked some crucial questions and i find her quite accepting and non-judging. The family seem to have a lot of peace and harmony!

This is a really good piece of works. There is a lot to learn about order, and systems. Thanks Stacey. It is good to realize though that not going to church or having a church community is also a type of religion. I get lost when people say they are not religious while in essence every way of life is a religion.

No one is born with a religion and at one time in human history not a single human had a religion. There was a time in human evolution where we didn't even have a language to communicate with one another so no your comment is incorrect. There are thousands of religions. Atheism is the absence and/or rejection of any and all religions. You're an atheist of all religions except for the one that you identify with and practice. I on the other hand like the concept of ignosticism, humanism, cosmology/astronomy, and the history of new thought and enlightenment movements. None of that makes me religious, it makes me an independent critically thinking human.

I can't get behind most organized religion for myself. But im happy for other people. It seems one really good thing about it is that it gives a person a community and a purpose and a lifestyle. Like you dont have to go out to search for yourself. You are given an identity. Which can be both stiffling and freeing depending on the person.

I have a huge religious family in Israel. Only 2 cousins are haredim, the rest are orthodox. My mom is the only one who left being observant. She moved to the US and I wasn’t raised religious at all. I’ve been to Israel 4 times and truly would love to have been raised in Israel with my big family. AM YISRAEL CHAI 🇮🇱💙

Fun and wonderful video! One note: Women go to the mikvah not because they are “impure”- although yes, technically for ceremonial purposes as are other reasons one may not be ceremonially pure. Reproduction and the ability to bring life is highly revered. Menstruation signifies no pregnancy was created so it is sort of a “grief” over potential life. The mikvah is a renewal! Also, at the end Mordecai says the Last Supper was a “different religion”- Jesus aka Yeshua was a Jew as were ALL the disciples! I loved this “sleeping over” inside view! Sabbath is a blessing and should be practiced by all, it’s a gift to rest and recharge and frown in the Lord! Amen!

rationalization exists for all the anti-women stuff in religious texts (Bible, Torah, The Koran, Book of Mormon) to appeal to modern women. Bottom line, these texts were written by men. young women are turning away from religion in droves.. for good reason.

The separation of a husband and wife also others in the religion was an act of cleanliness to prevent spreading disease. Also, as far as eating meat and dairy separate was because the baby was still suckling from the mother. Therefore, they were not to slaughter the cow until the baby was weaned off and able to eat on its own.

Although I consider myself an agnostic, I am quite intrigued by the orthodox Jewish life. I watched quite some documentaries about Jewish life in the UK as well as Peter Santinello visiting them and even allowed him to film Shabbat and I follow a Jewish woman from Canada explaining all the different things about orthodox Jewish life. The only thing I find really sad is, like Stacey said, that they can not be friends with non-Jewish people because of their strict food laws. And food brings people together so I think this is really a sad thing that they divide themselves from any other group of people. Although I know that they are still a minority amongst Jewish people, most of them are secular and do eat whatever they want and are not religious to that degree.

I would gently say that they can still absolutely be friends, just perhaps not eat at their friends' homes. But most foods can be made kosher with a few tweaks, and the Shabbat table is open to everyone.
