Chabad (or Lubovitch) do not try to convert non-Jews, which is against Jewish law, but try to bring secular Jews back to "Yiddishkeit" and observance. The way she used the term proselytizing is incorrect as it intimates that Chabadniks are trying to convert non-Jews as well.

They, the Lubavitcher Chassidim, are also trying to reach out to non-Jews, to teach them the Seven Noahide Laws which are Judaism's teachings for all humanity, to bring all humanity closer to the Creator.

@@familygotlieb2897 That’s a very recent development, and came about because of the increase in the number of Christians who want to understand the best way to live according to the Torah, as Jesus did, except without actually becoming Jews. Interestingly, many of them try so-called “Messianic” congregations and realize that most of those are just evangelical Christian congregations wrapped in a veneer of Judaism. But this all represents a very new kind of Chabad outreach.

Very well done. Thank you...

Kaff's doesn't sell dairy products. Their baked goods are parve, which means they have no meat or dairy ingredients. Most kosher pastries and baked goods are parve, so that they can be eaten with both meat or dairy, since Jews aren't allowed to eat meat and dairy in the same meal.

sometimes i feel shame im not fluent in my peoples language Yiddish. but they told me its my first language on the otherside and I speak Deutsch as well. so :( I'll just have to live with this shame for now. They tell me its cause they want me to keep working on my english speaking and learn more fancy english words in songwriting etc. but. we'll just see. Let me share one with you alot of people ripped from me. cause I owned them so hard with it. Dalliance. I have an ongoing Dalliance with Shekhinah. :D

The woman was really good at explaining things in a simple way, learned a lot. Now I’m curious to what extent are there young monolingual Yiddish speakers in Brooklyn? Like is the Hasidic Jewish community so insular that English medium education isn’t engaged?

This question has become a hot topic in NY, as to whether the state has the right to demand that all children, even in private religious schools, must learn English, basic math skills, etc. Still being debated. Within the hasidic communities, even different parents have differing opinions, so the groups aren’t monolithic on this question. Chabad, otoh, emphasizes that its schools train students to succeed in the modern world while remaining religious.

@@billbernstein4484 Lately, this has become a topic of debate among those outside the hasidic communities who speak and teach Yiddish (but whose families weren’t religious). The question also encompasses the issue of Yiddish as a living language - or not. Should the scholars focus on how modern Yiddish evolves among the communities where there’s a high level of fluency, still? That would be among the hasidim, because the number of native Yiddish speakers outside those communities is dying off fast. It’s a conundrum.

It should be made clear at the end that "proselytizing" by Chabad is limited to other Jews. A more appropriate term would be "aggressive outreach". To seek to convert others to Judaism is forbidden.

Me bc.i can run with them and they are practical.

The tour guide misspoke (since her first language was Yiddish she sometimes does this in her videos, and it sometimes promotes misunderstanding). Chabad does not “proselytize.” Chabad folks reach out to non-observant Jews and to Jews in general. While its representatives promote observance, the ones I know don’t push people into it. As regarding non-Jews, Chabad members are polite and welcoming, but they do not seek converts. While promoting their version of Jewish observance to other Jews might be considered a form of proselytizing, most people use it to mean conversion from one religion to another. She should have clarified that for a general audience.

@vsibirsky

Жыл бұрын

Very helpful clarification! I hope others red this and understand clearly that Chabad does no encouraging on non- Jewish people to "convert". the ut reach from Chad is to people who ARE Jewish by birth and their way is very much informed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe whose idea was simply that a Jew that does one Mitzvah might lead them to latch on to other mitzvoths.

I gotta say that this shiksa doesn't get it: she was obviously told to dress modestly...no pants, wear a dress or skirt that's not short, and long sleeves. So what does she do? She wears a sleeveless garment and attempts to cover it up by draping a schmatte over her shoulders. Which half the time is blowing in the wind off her shoulders. Even Oprah knew how to dress when visiting the Haredim.

Secondly, the so-called expert had her upper chest showing, and both of them are wearing skirts that end above the knee. I don’t know what’s up with that, because the guide should have better informed her and also set a better example. They would have gotten a better reception that way. So it’s the guide’s fault.
