An Introduction to Hasidic Judaism and the Sects

I believe I’m more confused than ever

I'll explain it better. The Abrahamic God is Satan. You can't have free will without knowledge. It took the serpent in the Garden to give humanity knowledge. Your own story proves your God is a slave God. Without thought, no free will. True deities don't need reverence. ;)

The Rebbe is concealed…

I grew up with members of the Chernobyl court as neighbors.

Dear Frieda, could you please do a video on the gravesites of Rebbes, and the traditions surrounding them? Thank you!

As a Romanian-Swabian German boy from Satu Mare (Satmar), Romania, i find this absolutely fascinating

The women look very oppressed. If a marriage is miserable there is no escape with her children .if she decides she can’t stand it any more she loses the children to the sect. It’s completely dominated by men.

Can you explain more about Judaism sects?

the chaissidus only started by the bal shem tov when he showed his chasidim a new way of looking at jews speshuly poor jews wich didnt know the mitzvot and from him becaim bunch of sects

and sowing us a nother way of understanding the bibel/tora

breslev wos all aganst going to non rileges jews but now ther not

i am from chabad and chabad wore the only sect to go to non rileges pepol and tray to bring the closer. in the biginning and satmer and other chisidim incloding breslev hated them and would aften fighte the chabad chasidim but now they dont and they actualy go to pepel

the chabad rebbe never died

Do all Hasidic sects visit the same synagogue? Every Saturday at noon I see, what I would say, the Satmar sect Jews leaving a synagogue in Vienna, Austria. Almost all men wear shtreimel.

I can’t tell you just how much I am enjoying your videos, thank you so much!

As a Brooklyn resident myself, I so appreciate the videos you share, as a way for better understanding my neighbors.

Do the different Hasidic sects intermingle? E.g. working together, intermarry, etc? Is that frowned upon, or dependent on how similar the sects are to one another?

Thanks again for all that you do!

This is great because I can explain better to my Jewish friends: I’m a Hasid of Yeshua. Yeshua is my Rebbe or the Rebbe of the world aka Christianity

i think something that people tend to misunderstand about the word “cult” is that it’s not just one thing. people tend to hear that and think something very dark and extreme with no positive side to it. but i think what people are beginning to understand more and more, is that cults can be nearly anywhere, and on their surface can often look very beautiful and have very deeply held traditions. the Hasidic Jewish community often reminds me somewhat of the Old Amish communities. they both have long histories, developed languages within their groups, have many deeply held traditions. however, i think it is always important to address the inevitability regressive ideologies and paradigms in insular groups like these. to say that this way of life is perfect would be to say that any way of life is perfect, which is impossible. the expectations and requirements of these religious groups produce positive outcomes for some, and negative outcomes for others. those negative outcomes should be brought to light and examined. for example, both of these groups restrict sexual education, especially for young girls and women, often until they are getting married. this can often cause problems for people when they are expected to “consummate” their marriages soon after learning the bare bones basics of their own body and their partner’s.

this is certainly not the only problem, however i don’t come from either of these communities, i just enjoy studying them. i would love to hear more experiences, roses AND thorns, from people with lived experience in Hasidic communities.

So basically they are not descendants of the Hebrews in the OT but rather Eastern Europeans who claimed this lineage for themselves. Got it.

Thank you. I am......

Excellent and compelling documentary ❤ I just got educated.

I love your presenting style. Very straightforward and informative but also nice to listen to.

Is being Jewish a race or a religion

Thanks this does help. I converted orthodox and now live in a community in Texas. I’m especially interested in the Israeli sects because I do want to make Aliyah. I am not certain if Hasidich is for me but I am always happiest when we have teachers come give a talk who are. So something is there. I know I have no intention of shaving my hair. I didn’t see any books on Amazon about them. Thanks!

why the word ortodox?
a jew that is atheist still can be ortodox?

Where is the Sephardic rebbe

Thank you for being such a thoughtful guide to this fascinating culture

As a goy from the south shore of Long Island, displaced to South Central PA, you can overdub Hasidic with Amish and not a word would be false.

Thanks!

I was part of the, Chabad community.

I'd love to see more about the characteristics that distinguish these sects from one another.

the holy Torah is not in original form it was corrupted by rabay of that time so now a days jews people is far from the original massage of Torah

As a goy, I have always wondered about Hasidic Jews. You answered a lot of questions. Thank you

Why did you leave all of this?????

Sect is wrong word. Nobody cares that you define for yourself private meaning of the word. You could choose say Hasidic movement, modern-orthodox movement, etc.

“… in what would become Israel…” too ashamed to say what it is called?

Funny, they give everything for a rebbes. That is not allowed. We only love our book. We don’t worship a rebbes, the same idiots that worship the pope. You only pray to Hashem. You only learn from the Thora. And I wont say anything about eastern EUROPEANS that think they are jewish. Or even Semetic 😂

Any Jewish persons with a smidgen of honour would be insulted that this person has bleached her hair blonde , when more then 6 million Jews were " exterminated" in the name of a " white" blue eyed blond albino supremism scam lies , I think you are disgusting to be hawking a book with hair like a clown and no honour for those Jews who perished because of " white" blue eyed blonde albino supremism

Orthodox Judaism is defintely not Hasidic Judaism!

Rudest people ever. They treat the Kings life guard like crap. No wonder people dislike them. Entitled people

I don’t like the word “Sects”. It’s a negative word in the world

Love the pronounciation of Hebrew terms against how their transliterated in the academic quotations!

I think the Hasidic worship style is a form of tribalism that sends around a charismatic figure, Rebbe. This sounds like a unique pronunciation from the word rabbi.

I have found that my own grandparents came from a Hasidic worship tradition. They tone it down because their children didn’t like it and when one of their offspring, my mother married a Chinese man they had to tone it down in order to accept the grandkids. Us.

What I’d like to know if you’re reading this is that the Hasidic Jewish immigrants that came after World War II was refugees are there more intense in their worship style than the Hasidic immigrants that came around the term of the 1800s to 1900s or early 1900s?

I had a Jewish mother from New York City, whose own mother my grandmother came from what was branded a Hasidic immigrant Jewish family that originally came to North America to Montreal Canada in the New York City

According to the wife of my cousin, who is the son of my uncle, my grandparents were highly observant, Hasidic Jews, who would often times celebrate high, holy holidays into and past midnight

When I knew that I didn’t see any kind of conservative dress or even the Yamulka or head covering a worn. In fact, they tone down their expression of their Jewish culture and faith in a very intentional way, and wouldn’t share any of that with us.

I did interact with a lot of Yiddish speaking Jewish people as a grade school child and later on young teenager. When my mother untimely passed away, a lot of of these connections disappeared. At least I had some exposure to this so I can at least identify the culture later on.

I deal with people of European Jewish descent are just finding out that they have that in their background and obviously have no cultural orientation for exposure or understand understanding other than through looking in from the outside for the first time

I spent some time in the Hasidic world looking at different sects and this is BY FAR the most accurate description of them.

I'm a Frankist, I'm hated by you and Muslims but get to enjoy you both kill each other while I eat my morning bacon, I'm also a Maccabee by decent so AHAHAHAHAAHA in your face, you lost your holy one to Sabbateanism. Not even trolling btw.
