Title says it all. Let’s focus on something more holistic from the series 😉

I think there is something very special about the timing of this series. I had a friend who used to like to describe Klal Yisrael as a giant organism with a lot of appendages. If one appendage is in pain doesn’t the rest of the organism feel it? We’re at a time when we need each other and we need to respect each other. And here comes along Peter Santenello with his humble nature and respectful curiosity about other human beings to teach us that.

Even on Imamother, I sometimes feel really looked down upon here as a chassidish person (there is some outright hatred here, just yesterday there was a despicable comment about chassidish bathrooms that went unchecked.)
And to see someone appreciate the warmth while acknowledging that obviously no community is perfect... just warmed my heart. Thank you, Peter.
We can all learn from him and learn to be more nuanced and less judgmental of our fellow Jews who are just trying to live their lives and serve Hashem to the best of their abilities. |
🤗 I feel sad that you’ve been made to feel that way. Can I tell you a secret? I’ve read things on Imamother that hurt me as BT. Someone recently wrote about how we’re all familiar with BTs and how they say things “like Barook” and have akward ways and in my head I was thinking “excuuuseme???? If I didn’t tell you I was a BT you wouldn’t know it. I grew up in my parents conservative kosher home having my mom drive me to Bnos on shabbos but park behind a bush because you’re not supposed to drive on shabbos while learning to lain from the Torah for my conservative bat mitzvah....gasp” and there are other things I could add but that run on sentence was just to make a point. Anyway this isn’t about me or BTs, it’s about your community but also about being more loving to our fellow Jews in general.

I agree with you both so much. Amother Silver I can’t for the life of me understand the judgmental comments toward any aida in Klal Yisrael, particularly chasidim. I think it’s easy to judge people’s background when you’ve never befriended anyone from that background. BH I was blessed to meet so many amazing Yidden from every background during my single years. One of my dear roommates was Satmar Sephardi from Brazil and I learned so much from her very interesting background and outlook. And amother Amber, I know exactly what you mean especially about the Israeli couple. I live in EY now and you will see a religious person and Chiloni stay married and have a good marriage. You’ll also see a yeshivish litvish guy married to a chasdidish lady with a covered shaitel and a chassidish guy in the levush married to a Teimania lady with a colorful tichel. There are hashkafic hang ups, but not the same as in America, not by a long shot.
I hope those hugs weren’t “mochamix your such a nebach” hugs 😂. But in all seriousness, it starts with us. So let’s think what we can do to spread some positivity and a little more ahavas Yisrael in this little corner of the internet.

I watched it and thought that he did a beautiful job summarizing his experience.
More than that, though, I think there’s something amazing that we can learn from him as a person. Peter said that before he visited chassidic communities, he only knew about them/us from the media, and that information wasn’t very flattering . Yet, he puts that aside, and comes in with wide open eyes and ears, allowing himself to see us from a whole new angle. And whaddaya know- he gained a whole new perspective on us.
Which one of us can’t benefit from some of that in our own lives? I know that I would gain tremendously in my own relationships if I were only able to put aside preconceived notions, and approach other people with a sincere curiosity, to really try and understand them and to appreciate where they’re coming from....
That, to me, is maybe the greatest takeaway from this series.
