Jewish culture seems odd and 'foreign' to many Westerners who have never known religious Jews. Often times the unknown elicits feelings of fear and a need to reject the 'other', even though Jews have been a part of America for centuries. This is why channels like this are important, to educate and bring understanding. Education is a key 🗝 to defeating antisemitism. Thanks Shloime!

Thank you, Shlomie! I sought out Rabbi Mendy today and bought some bagels to thank him and you for your acts of human kindness. Please keep spreading faith in humanity. We are better and stronger than those that seek our destruction. We will win. Light always outshines darkness.

“Even though these men have yarmulke’s on, I’m pretty sure they are not going to need any kosher food” Pretty funny!

I have never heard of the term 'to bagel someone'. This only proves how I frequently I travel ! Blessings, love and prayers for all,from Israel 🇮🇱.

I was super worried about you and your family. Those bagels looked awesome. Very glad it all worked out and you were able to help folks in need of food. Stay safe & Blessings.

I just broke into tears watching this. I love to see the goodness in people when there is a shitty situation. Gives me faith in humanity.

PS- Toda Shloime for adding that part at the end!! I had just said out loud ‘Did you find your tefillin?!?’ & was going to head back here to the comment section to ask you! I’m very glad you found them! I also thank you for setting a good example for all of us of how to redeem the time and make it count for good. Whatever happens to us, if we keep our trust in Him & don’t give in to despair, I believe there always is still a way to honor and glorify the Lord! He has turned things around for me many times, and made a Valley of Trouble into a Door of Hope! (Hosea) What a blessing you were to those hungry, dedicated people! And I pray that the Lord was a Helper to your wife while you were absent, possibly making your children extra sleepy? I know getting three children in a small bathroom all at once can be quite a challenge! Thanks again for sharing some of your real life with us! 💙🙏🏽💙🖖🏼🇮🇱💪🏽🌅🌻

Love❤❤❤ from Jordan 🇯🇴and Palestine 🇵🇸 I can't believe that human can hate another human God bless

I love this! There is always a way to lift another's burden and help them along their way. Thank you for sharing the process of "bageling!" I hope your wife and children got through their experience traveling without you okay.

What an adventure, Shloime! Irrespective of whatever challenges you have faced, your heart has always been in the right place - a real mensch, as always!

Hello Shlomi, I feel sorry for what happened to you, and I thank the rabbi for his kind spirit in sending food with you

What an incredible story of an outstanding individual who has a true faith in G-D. Turning an unpleasant experience into another opportunity to help as many people as possible is beyond belief!! Thank you for sharing this amazing story with us. This is truly inspiring.

You're a good man, Shloime. I'm glad you arrived home safe. 🙏

This shows the power of "gam zu le-tovah" - literally meaning "this is also for the good" but effectively more like a "blessing in disguise".

Oh my God, that was really an unpredictable journey, but I can't understand why this airline was so stubborn, that's terrible and I would never take it again. You did great to give out the food, I love that.Many greetings and blessings.💙🙏❤️

What a wonderful, generous spirit this guy has. Humanity should all be able to meet on common ground despite our differences.

I agree that everything happens for a reason. You blessed so many people. I wish that everyone in the world would look after their brothers and sisters on this planet the way you look after each other. It’s beautiful.

I love this. Great story, great outcome and also a great lesson. Things always happen to us for a reason, no matter how harsh it may seem at the time. Thanks for sharing and I hope your wife and children managed ok for their journey home.

I’m glad to hear from you. Was concerned for your safety. 🥰🙏

Shloime, please be careful. God Bless you and your Family. You're a good man. Keep the videos coming. .❤️🇮🇱🇨🇱❤️

I'm so glad that you are ok and happy that you and your family made it home.

I’m so sorry dear brother that you went through this and that your people are being so mistreated all over the world. I give you so big hugs!!!!❤

Kudos to you for helping out so many hungry travelers and to your wife who endured a tough trip without help.

Amazing story. You were able to help so many people plus you found your missing Tefillin ❤

This is my favorite of your videos! Such mesirus nefesh. Thank you for sharing this incredible story!

Try not to be mad wtih the airlines and the policies they have to keep. My dad was an airline pilot for many years and after 9/11 a lot of things changed. Just imagine from a basic safety standpoint if it was that easy to miss your plane and have it let back open to hastily let someone on. That is the perfect time for a mistake to be made. My dad was in the air on 9/11 and fortuntately, only stuck in Dallas for a week.... but when they released the pictures of the terrorists on the planes, my dad saw a familiar face. One of those menn had asked to tour his cockpit, he politely declines. You can't give people an inch when so much is at stake. Just be thankful for the meticulous people who let you get mad at them all day long. I'm glad you had the chance to brighten some other days while you were stuck.

Shloime,I believe you definitely were "stranded" to help people as they waited. So, so happy you are safely back. Take care. Shalom and blessings to you and your family.

What a beautiful act of kindness. Good work Shloime!

Very happy your whole family and you are safe. Bless you for all you do for others.

Love that it was one of the most beautiful experiences you have ever had while traveling!

If u were in Izmir we have Boyoz , originates back to sephardic jews little side note

כל הכבוד לך. I love watching your videos. The way you accepted the situation is very inspiring , I hope you will at least get you money back somehow.

Shloime, well done. G-d gave you a mission, but you didn't realize it at the time. You did an excellent job and your mitzvah will not go unnoticed. Keep up the good work. Mike.

What a great video! Thank you for educating and inspiring sir!

Great mitzvah you did there in Istanbul Shloime...proud of you. Keep up the great work brother.. regards from Vancouver Canada.

That is quite the voyage story! Just goes to show, the universal idea no matter what religion (or none), that sometimes, what seems to be a bad situation can turn out to be really fulfilling..we can learn and, in this case, you helped so many people. That help will be remembered for a long time, while the frustration of missing a flight will fade into the past,maybe even be forgotten.

Mi Kamocha Yisroel! This is beautiful and is such a great example of how Yidden are willing to go out of their way for eachother

Love spreading the love in the airport!

BH I have been waiting for you to post this update, I was so scared for you when you said you were not allowed to board in your last video

Great story...but more importantly...you are a good man!

Clearly you were the Ribbono Shel Oilam's shliach to provide food for the hungry! Only a special person like you would tirelessly search the entire airport for Yidden to feed. Hashem loves you and this was a big hug from the Aibeshter to give you this zechus rabim to be oisek betzorchei tzibbir beEmunah.... Hashem Yeshalem Sicharcha! Umain!

Hi i am from Turkey, i am living at Kahramanmaras city. I love Israel ❤ i am not kidding. Love you 👍💐💜💚🧡💙💛❤️

The biggest nes in this video for me is that you slept for an entire flight!!! LOL I can NEVER get much sleep on a plane! In all seriousness, this was another beautiful video!! If there's one thing anyone can learn from this, it is how to turn a difficult and frustrating situation from a negative one into a positive one. Much love and I'm so glad you managed to find your tefilin!

Thanks for uploading the video always amazing

that was beautiful, thank you a spark of joy. I went to you tub to find something uplifting to distract my mind before bed and after turning off the news which was interviewing the families of the fallen solders here in Israel. Very important but I can't let it eat me up or I wont be able to function tomorrow.

You rock Shloime!

Buetifull to see what you have done shloime. So special. We do not know gds ways but the fact that you were delayed meant you hekped so many!

God Bless you Shloime. Yes God's plans are often mysterious to us all. So glad you were able to get the food to the weary Jewish travelers. We are all God's children. Amen ✨🌺🌺🙏🌺🌺✨

You've had quite an odyssey. You and your family have been in my prayers. I'm sorry that you missed your family, but I'm glad that Adonai was able to use you to feed so many people. I will keep praying for you.

Bless you Shloime, what a kind man you are!

So very relieved to see that you are ok. You are awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Such an amazing, beautiful experience! I don't travel much but a couple of times I've gone to Crown Heights. Flying there was fine but for the flight home, I wasn't so sure. I thought there would be some at JFK but I couldn't find any. Anyway, one time, the nice lady I stayed with prepared sandwiches for me and the other time a Jewish family saw me and offered me food. I was more worried about them taking food from them as they had several small children. Don't worry about me, feed the children. Not to worry, they said, they had enough for a few meals because they didn't know what they'd find when they landed. I told them about several Chabad Rabbis in the area and to call them to find out which stores and restaurants are in the area where they're starting. Long story short, we all had food, BH! Watching your videos, I'm learning that it is possible to travel and stay kosher! I'm so glad you and your family got out of Turkey safely although it wasn't easy. I'm happy that you found your Tefillin. Your wife deserves a lot of kudos for that flight home with the children. Hashem gave her extra hands and patience!

“A mini Mitzvah tank” 😂 love you Shloime!

Thank you for this mitzvah!!

Todah rabah!!!! Avinu is so compassionate!!! It made me cry!!!

Shalom brother! What a wonderful Mitzvah you did! Todah! I am so touched you did this, out of lemons, you made lemonade. (Kosher of course!) 😊 💙🇮🇱

What a mitzvah! Good job, Shlomie! Omg I was going to say that I miss where he found the tefillin? 😂

Oh your tefilin are more than a car, they are an extension of yourself, the connection is real, they are you and you are them. I understand completely. In other news.. I love how Chabad looks out for Jews wherever they may find themselves in this world. Your heart beats Chabad. I love that too. Welcome home!

Congrats! Happy that you could help those in need.

You were meant for delay..even thru your challenges..a Blessing..for Many Thanks for Sharing Your Video. Peace Be With You🙏💞🙏

Gd bless you Shloime

That was so nice of you!

As a Pole, nothing brings me more joy than seeing such embrace of out national food. 🙂

Great video shloime!! Shout out from Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

I don't why my assumption that Kosher Foods would be provided without question where ever religious Jewish people gather and that Jewish people would fend for themselves. Wow! I learned something new and thank you for sacrificing to help others!

you are a great story teller

Wow that was quite an experience you went through. How did your wife cope on her flight with all the kids? Glad you home now safe and sound.🌻🙏

God Bless you and your family!! 💜🙏

I guess that’s like me losing my rosary but I wouldn’t miss my flight. I like that you have given food to people.

Now those are expensive bagels! But anyhow, that's awesome of you! Yeah, I think all happens for a reason as well. This was so good!

So happy to hear your safe. Bh found your תפלין!!

Stay safe gentleman. You are in my prayers. Best regards to Rav Chtrik ❤

Exciting story, Shloime!! Glad you made it home and with your t'fillin. At the end of your previous video, when you said you were stranded in Istanbul, but your family was on the plane, I thought something happened at security and the authorities had detained you for some reason. I guess the real reason for you being stranded in Istanbul airport was to provide food to other Jews.

Thank you shloime for your amazing videos

Ouch!!! That flight home was very expensive.

G-d bless you, Shloime! What a blessing you were to all of those people. Maybe you did not make the sandwiches, but you were there to hand them out!

So inspiring ✨️ 🙌 ❤️ 💖

I love your attitude and what you do.

You are an amazing person! God bless!

Sorry for all the trouble you went through. At least you were able to feed many hungry people.

saw peter santenello's video about your community, really interesting!

Shalom Shloime salute you from Somalia keep it up well done.

May God bless you indeed!

Has nothing to do with him being Jewish like some comments or any one treating them wrong. Airlines all have regulations I feel bad this happened but this would of happened to anyone and in any religion. Keep up the good videos

Shlome i love how much you love your people. G-d bless.

So glad you found your תפילין.

Thank you Shloime, for the wonderful and inspiring person that you are! (I almost said "Prophet" =)

I have a question. Now, I know there are different levels of keeping kosher (I am definitely not the strictest), but aren't, say, apples or nuts always kosher? Depending on the airport, I suppose, you might not be able to get plain food like that. But considering you would be putting your health at risk not eating for days, wouldn't eating something that is most likely kosher and not putting your health at risk take precedence (pekuach nefesh)? I'm not pointing the finger, I'm just curious.

Shloime, you are a hero!

Please be careful. God bless you and your family and Israel too!

This makes me smile so big my face hurts😂❤🤗

17:24 😂 Should have asked them, maybe they would have been confused for days...

Great deed man...

I grew up pretty frum at least for a time, I went to Jewish day schools, camps, etc. how can I find a chabad that would posssibly invite me and my husband for Shabbos, I’m pretty shy. I live in SF, and feel very Lonely right now

God bless. This is awesome.

Did you find your fylaktari? You answered. :) that was nice.

Another bagel story. I was travelling to the Chabad Kinnus in November. In the airplane, a Chabad rabbi was giving Jews Bagels and cream cheese! That's the spirit of Chabad!

Thank you for helping all those people and thank Chabad!! Awesome that you found your tefillin.

The cute lady asked if you had Tuna Fish😂😂🙄🙄

God increased your light because so many needed it.
