As in your previous videos, you pack a great deal of fun, adventure and informative insight. Who needs a passport when we can “come along for the ride” through your experiences.

Shloime, I have been watching your videos with Peter for a while now. Nice to see that you have visited Afghanistan without any incidents. I welcome you to come visit Pakistan, we are the pushtune tribe from the Northwest and it is said that we are the 8th descendants of the Jewish people, in other words, we are brothers and you will notice a lot of similarities. Thank you for having an open mind and heart to even step foot in a Muslim country. Would love to meet you one day!

Really like that you show the different places you travel to. We like that you show various things like street views, markets, buildings, city views & even the hotels you stay at. It's all very interesting to see what is similar to our culture & what is different. I know this is a video from 2019 so I hope the people shown in the video are safe - in light of the current situation. Our hearts & prayers go out to them. Thank you Shloime for showing us places that most of us will never be able to travel to. We appreciate you.

the etymological root for afghan comes from Sanskrit language that could be interpreted as "Holly script" because [san] is a prefix that very often precedes a subject to annunciate holiness, and from this holly language comes the word aśva or aspa; afghan for horse or horseman = to cavalry = fighters = soldiers = infantry, it is like we could literally say to allude this country: Aspantrytan, also in Mexico there is a region called similarly: Apatzingan name that very lightly exposes the same idea, because Apatzingan is the place where de fighters for Freedom redacted the first constitution of Latin America.

It breaks my heart to see the situation now. People associate Afganistan with misery and primitive conditions. Back in the 70's, women could walk on the streets without being harassed, wearing modern clothing of that day (maybe not modest by some standards, but they had the freedom to choose for themselves).. they could study, work, participate in the society. Now, it's like another century. May God soon restore the country and bring hope that only He can bring.

While it's definitely very interesting to see this video, you're completely insane for having traveled there, both considering that you're a Jew and an American.

I think it goes way beyond entertainment and exploration. I think it's important that people learn to see each other as human instead of feeding into the stereotypes and fears we are so often fed. Shloime is showing people that no matter who you are or where you go, you will find human kindness where people least expect you to. I think many people who watch these videos will be very surprised and delighted by that innate kindness that exists. Thank you Shloime, may G-d bless you wherever your adventures take you. 💜

@@happydillpickle This isn't about stereotypes, this is about pure common sense. Countries like Afghanistan have always been known to be dangerous for both Americans and Jews, and all the more so for American Jews, and all the more so for visibly identifiable American Jews. He could have easily gotten killed, and in my opinion, his Rabbis were foolish and wrong for having allowed him to go there. It is reckless and foolish to go out trying to find fragments of beauty and kindness in a volatile warzone. Use some common sense. Just seeing what happened in Afghanistan a few months ago proves my case. This could have very well happened when Shloime was there and that could have been the last we'd have heard of him.
