I used to work as a gym trainer and I saw so many affairs start as a result of having a lack of boundaries. Any of my male friendships have changed drastically since being married. I can post a birthday greeting in a public forum such as a public comment, but never DM, never hanging out.. etc. affairs often start unplanned, but people getting comfortable and having access to each other.

I am not Jewish but I do agree with you 100 per cent. Many years ago I worked as a nurse in the Emergency Room. Police and fireman were in and our of the hospital. I was married and sadly thought I could be friends. The results was catastrophic. I pray every day for God’s forgiveness. I apologized to my Husband but we were divorced. Everyone got hurt, especially my 2 children. Now I have been married 40 years and I follow your laws now.

I think the scariest thing is how easy it is to fall into something like this. It is so subtle and it creeps up on you. Everyone knows adultery is wrong but it can happen to almost anyone if you aren’t careful!

Not Jewish but I love how there are boundaries to protect men and women from abuse. Also love how there are boundaries to protect against mistakes like cheating on a spouse, an employer sleeping with a subordinate, etc. Simple promiscuity causes so many problems. Jealousy, resentment, and heartache on the one end and crimes of passion on the other end. Remove the temptation by not even being in that situation in the first place.

Except there is a lot of abuse in orthodox judeaism. Look into the abuse of little boys by male religious teachers in the haredi sect. It was covered up by the higher ups for years, and they even tried to help one of the pedophiles escape. Also, the women that have left arranged marriages or very quick (meet anywhere from once for 15mins to a handful of times before proposing). Those women were not marrying someone they wanted to marry, and did not want to have sex with those men and were raped. There are many documentaries and interviews with both women that left and children that were abused.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your customs and culture with us. The world would be a better place if everyone practiced these things. This is what loving your neighbor as yourself is all about. Love this!

Thank you. So informative. The Orthodox Jewish Community appears strange to others not because they are wrong but because the rest of us have become so lost. It wasn't until college when I learned aspects of the Jewish Faith from Jewish students and friends but it both amazed me of the richness of their faith and deepened the shame I felt because my Mother was born German, was a young girl during WWII and carried some prejudice against Jewish people her whole life. I spoke up when she did it but still felt like the sin of my Fathers carried on to me and I should make atonement for them.

I am grateful for our Torah laws, they protect us and magnify the beauty and kedusha of marriage. Todah Rabbah for sharing. 💜⚘

May I add that in synagogue, when praying. If the partition was not there and a guy sees a pretty woman he is distracted from praying properly and when he is studying Torah, an image of her might come into his mind. Basically it is about purity and not looking at half naked women on the street during summer months. Orthodox men will not look at a woman who passes him by even if Jewish and modestly dressed. It seems archaic but it is to protect the man from sinning with his eyes.

As a nonJewish person, I am very interested in learning about a lot of religions and reasons for various customs. I think you made a great point in the video about Orthodox customs raising awareness of the male-female differences. I have never lived in that kind of world and, having only a single male sibling, have made comfortable, lifelong friends of both genders. I don’t find being friends with the opposite sex to cause temptation because I don’t pick friends I’m attracted to. However, if I grew up in a society where the separation was emphasized, I would likely feel differently. Without the air of mystery, I just see people as people and my male friends are like family to me. When/if some of them married, I also became friends with their wives! But a lot of people may never feel that way no matter how they grew up. It would bother me to have to give up friendships that have been stable for decades for a spouse or for custom. However, if I grew up differently, I wouldn’t have made those friendships in the first place. So I’m seeing both sides. I could see it would be difficult for people growing up on the outside to convert to a religion where genders are separated, yet I can understand the comfort is would bring to those used to living like this. Personally, I do like the low level of gender awareness I feel…it’s much less stressful for me . But I can also appreciate the customs you practice that also prevent that kind of stress with the increased gender awareness. So..my attitude is…Whatever works for you, works for you! But it’s always important to remain loyal and faithful to your spouse no matter what society you live in.

I really like what you said about investing in relationships with other people, and why you have to be careful with who you're emotionally invested in. Also, very few people in a romantic relationship like the idea of their significant other spending time alone with a "friend" of the opposite sex. This seems almost universal.

Love this! You are a lovely couple. Thank you for this video. It is so hard to explain to people who are far from God. You explained it well. I am a Christain who lived in a mostly Jewish dorm in college. We have the same God and values.

Thank you for this video. I am 51 years old, was raised Methodist- never fit in. Have been fascinated with the Jewish faith my whole life, never knew why. About 2 years ago, I took an ancestry dna test and found out I was 4% Ashkenzi on my mother's side. She nor my grandmother was ever aware of this so I am reviewing information on KZread, articles from our local Hebrew College, The Jewish Book of Why, etc. What I am learning is that this is such a beautiful religion and way of life, I do wish I had been raised this way. Thanks for the video- and many blessings to you and your family.

The entire world struggles with this on a daily basis hounestly. We need each other & it's natural but it's also very easy to take a shortcut to fulfill this desire outside of what God intended. Good video & this is a life lesson for all ages.

This is where I disagree with the restrictive mindset (which is prevalent in many Conservative communities, not just Judaism or Islam) instead of being afraid of wrong feelings and temptations, we should see others as humans made in the image of God, worthy of respect. I am blessed to have had men in my life who are or were( some already passed away) close friends - with all dignity and purity. Instead of seeing each other as a threat, men amd women can treat each other as sisters and brothers. A healthy courtship for me would be based on knowing soneone as friends first. Sure, boundaries need to be in place.. that is true for same sex friendships as well.

@maureenmckenna5220

The way humans have developed, at least in the Western world, it is necessary for the sexes to be in close contact, in many situations, especially in a work environment. There can be no argument that this openness has led to more intimate relationships. So, to try to remove this possibility, conservative sects have separated men and women in many settings. This does deny human nature, however, and these separations only force to the back burner, for a short time in human evolution, the need for both sexes to both work and exist in cooperation. And, in some societies where men and women are separated in this way, it is the women who are denied or deprived of the opportunity for education, advancement, and choice. And, when 50% of the population does not have opportunity, that society will have a difficult time in many, many ways.

I grew up being " best friends " with boys. The thing is the more I got older ( and more religious) my friends all became so much more meaningful. I realized it one time when i was coming back from my (all girls ) school to my friend group ( with boys) , I was sitting there talking with the people around me and i understood that i wasn't just talking to them, i was trying to connect our souls. Thats the thing, at a certain point i came to a place where all of my friendships were intimate, they were connecting souls. The only difference is that in my opinion when you have a connecting souls relationship with your gender thats friendship, when you have a connecting souls relationship with the other gender thats love.

Gosh, I am crazy about the two of you, and am so happy to have found your channel. For the most part I agree with everything that you believe...however, this notion that men and women have to be protected from some sort of sexual tension with the other is where I draw the line. Marriage is a choice. Temptation exists around every corner, HOWEVER, I don't want my religion to protect me from that temptation...it assumes that I don't have enough self control to manage how I interact with someone of the opposite sex. My husband and I have been married for 31 years. Both of us have worked and traveled extensively (because of work) with people of the opposite sex. Our commitment to each other is deep and pure and we have passed temptation all our married lives. Each time, we are faced with the possibility of temptation, and we move past it, it's a re-affirmation of our commitment to each other. Finally, for all your strict laws, there are notorious cases of sexual abuse amongst the Hasidic community in Williamsburg. So, it doesn't seem to me that your religious laws do not protect even your true believers.

I love how Muslims and Jews stick to their beliefs and have concepts they firmly stand up for. Muslims are the same way when it comes to marriage and relationships between different genders wow thanks for sharing.

I'm Greek Orthodox (Christian) and in my prospective I agree about everything you said. I'm just not entirely sure my faith agrees on the divorce part, I believe both sides should do sacrifices to make it work out. (I'd see marriage as a promise, commitment and sacrifice rather than happiness, but I'm not yet married, so who am I to say this?) But in general, thank you so much for this awesome video, I'm so glad it exists, and I'm sharing it with my friends.

Islam and Judaism is similar in so many ways. We also don’t show public display of affection between husband and wife. In the west it might seem a little rigid but honestly it’s taken very sacred in our religion and it’s very very personal thing

I think that this explains a lot to those of us who don't live this way and it's very healthy. It guards against potential problems and cements a relationship that develops into marriage. The main thing that I understand about this explanation is that a marriage involves 2 people and when or if a third intervenes in even an innocent way, it somehow dilutes the strength of the involvement of the 2 married people. In a secular setting it would be very easy for a husband to have a woman friend at work or go out for lunch with a woman co-worker. A prohibition of this stops any kind of potential emotional development. Your conversations of any kind being restricted to your spouse shows love and respect and a third party intervention would be something that married people shouldn't have to deal with. I get it. It has nothing to do with restricting one's freedom in society.

As a Christian l totally agree with this aspect of relationship

People are different. There is - and will never be - no one size fits all when it comes to personality, emotions, the way you express yourself as a person or as a man or a woman, feelings, the way you experience relationships, friendships, sexuality, sexual preferences or orientation. This system may work just beautifully for some people giving them peace, security and deep meaning, but still be a disaster for others if this way of life and all these rules doesn't fit who they are inside or what they want to do with their lives, and they are met with social pressure and made to feel ashamed of who they are and how they want to live their life.

I love holding hands.

I never realized this but now that you mentioned it, we as a culture have a habit of hugging everyone while greeting. And no hug, literally no hug gives me the closeness feeling that I want to get except for my husband's. To me it seems like it is much more a question of your mindset and how these are layed for you over the years. Of course, if you are not ever allowed to touch any living male, one handshake with a guy would be seductive.

Am Jewish and I love the fact that your share ING the rules of Jewish laws

I fully agree men and women can't/shouldn't be best friends because feelings always happen and emotional attachment happens. I think you can be friendly, but not best friends. I learned this in my mid-20s with a male friend. When I was heartbroken and talking with my religious leader (My Bishop, I am LDS) told me that men and women are not meant to be "best friends" unless they are married. That "best friend" mentality/bond is what keeps marriage so great. That friendship needs to continue to be cultivated daily and when it is not, people go seeking that deeper intimacy/connection elsewhere and often with the opposite sex which then leads very often to adultery. People often give me a hard time because I do not display a lot of physical contact or affection with others, but I agree that it's something to be kept special and not just given to everyone male or female. I believe if I am spending time with you, that obviously I believe you are worth my time because if you weren't worth me caring for you, I wouldn't bother with spending time or talking to you. I do not need to hug you to show you I care.

Having grown up in a racially, socio-economically, religiously diverse neighborhoods. When I look back the one thing that all had in common was conservative, modest behavior. At no level was there ANY PDA. Although I was quite scandalized when a very nice, well behaved, engaged couple lost their minds for about 10 minutes. I was about 8 years old when I witnessed their PDA. Her parents house was 2 blocks away. The next thing I knew her dad was strolling down the driveway right behind her. Her father just softly said her name. He ignored her fiance. She came to her senses and put her hand over her mouth. Both she and her fiance immediately embarrassed apologized to her father. Someone had called her father. He couldn't have seen anything from their home. I never saw 👀 that PDA behavior ever again by anyone. Lesson learned by all. There were at least 15 kids outside playing. DEAD SILENCE.

How awesome you are... you're so beautiful together 😍🥰

Being a muslim ...we do all follow these rules strictly because it's for our protection and these beliefs makes sense also..... Btw it's interesting to know about jewish people and please make a vlog on how do u pray? Amd how many times it is obligatory? How do u purify (ablution)?

Sadiya Saifi: Are you seeking religion or are you seeking a relationship with the Living God? For God can ONLY be known through Jesus Christ.

Something I don't understand is why a woman can't sing in public, in front of non-related men. Leaving Egypt the women lead the singing. I love to sing but not being able to sing in front of half of the population makes me sad.

No the women did not LEAD the singing, and why do you think they had tambourines. 2 reasons. They knew there would be miracles to celebrate, and to drown out their voices

Friendship has nothing to do with sex / gender, it's physical attraction which makes the difference 🙄 And on the handshaking issue, that's a cultural thing, and it would be rude to refuse a handshake in a place where handshakes are the cultural norm 🤔

Hello! Do you live in Sweden? I do and I’m a noahide, having a hard time finding a community around here. Especially orthodox community. Thought maybe you could help out? 🙏🏻 And I fully agree on all these points.

Beautiful

very interesting to know this, we have the same concept of not free mixing with the opposite gender that aren’t family in Islam.

It makes since, in my culture we don’t have “laws” that keep us from being friends with the opposite sex, but I have been married 15 years now and both my husband and I have come to the realization that there is no such thing as friendship with the opposite sex once you are married.
