I've been watching Peter's videos since he started his series on Chassidim. He is absolutely the most unbiased, open minded, journalist out there.
For those who are saying that he is not covering the more stringent chassidim, he has a great video with a guy from Williamsburg and his adorable son with his broken English. Very refreshing.
He has one on 'women in hasidism' in Boro Park and another one with rabbi Manis Friedman on intimacy in Judaism. There are a lot more which showcase literally every sect of chassidish life. He certainly has a variety to watch.
I was sad to see that he won't be doing any more videos about chassidim. Its nice see us portrayed in a positive light here and there.

Sorry to disappoint you but chasidish come in all stripes and colors. The bal shem tov didnt say anything about how people should dress.
Btw I grew up in one of the chasidus you mention above and married to a diff chasidus mentioned above and dont look too different. And no I am not ex chasidish this is how my family and my in laws dress as well.

I'm chassidish and I found the video to be beautiful and genuine. My heart swelled when I read the positive comments.
Shternie seems to be an amazing woman who pulled off a beautiful Shabbos meal. Kol hakovod. And my mouth watered at the sight of that amazing pecan pie...

Every very chassidish enclave is about the same..Union City, New Square, Gibbers, and Bobov doesnt have their village, but they are as chassidish or more than Satmar sometimes. I dont get the "satmar" point out every time.
First off, most husbands and wives don't sit at the opposite ends. Mother usually sits on the side.
Disclaimer, I am Satmar.. not kj.. my husbamd is traditional as can get.. he thought the couple sitting at the head was beautiful.. |
Some wives do sit next to the husband, but that is practically impossible once you have more than a few children and/or married children and certainly impossible with guests. It just isn't appropriate for a shvigger to sit across her eidim and certainly not across her guest. Under these circumstances you'll have mean toward the head, with the women on the other side.
I sit at the other end of the table, with the lecht in front of me, as does my mother, my shvigger, my bobbas, etc. Probably on the off Shabbos when couples do not come I imagine my Bobba sits next to my Zeida simply because that is how it works out (like a shuna rishona couple or young couple with just 2 or 3 children), but at a full table, it is not really comfortable or feasible for the mother to be next to the father.
A wife sitting oiven oon with her husband is unheard of IME.

I think the reason why this thread derailed is because there is not really much to talk about. It was beautiful, that's all. So people want to analyze a little more, they discuss how they relate to it and whether it's an accurate portrayal. I think most thinking people know that there is no such thing as a truly accurate portrayal of anything. It was meant to give a flavor of shabbas to people who have never seen such a thing. It accomplished that goal. It wasn't meant for you to be able to show your co-worker, and say this is what my family looks like.
Remember, this is YouTube. Chill. |
Exactly! This was aimed at a non-Jewish audience. We are not the intended audience. The non-Jews with whom I shared it had nothing but positive things to say. To an outsider, the things we have in common regarding Shabbos and various hashkafas are far greater than what separates us.
And perhaps that's the message in it for us, too.

I think the kids were behaving as typical kids. They were all at the table in the beginning and for challah and for the start of the meal.
I actually think it could be eyeopening to outsiders that once the kids began to get bored, they didn't go to their devices or phones or ipods or play on electronics or play basketball outside or checkout - instead, they occupied themselves and weren't fighting. The boys were playing tag, but they also knew they were getting attention from Peter so it could have helped keep the exciting chase going around the house.
The parents may also did not want to reprimand the kids as they were the hosts and anything could have been taped and picked up by the camera at any point.

Except that my house is not nearly as fancy or big and I don't have a maid washing up during the meal (I wish!!) this was very similar to shabbos meals at my Chabad House. We often have chassidish (not chabad) guests and even though its not our minhag to sing zemiros, we do for them.
But our guests will be a lot more diverse as well. Not frum, M.O, streimel wearing chassidim, litvish...sometimes even chabad.
