The Jewish History of Llandudno, Conwy, Cymru
Рет қаралды 2,043
Жыл бұрынLlandudno is an ancient place, and has origins as hermitic religious centres for early Christianity, but in more modern times it has become a retreat for another religion, Judaism. In this video we will explore this fascinating history, with sweeping views and layered history of the wonderful Welsh Jewish community.

Laila tov Ben. I really enjoy your videos on all things Welsh, and hope your journey into Judaism turn out well. Given the similarity between Teisennau tatws and latkes, I feel like there must be a Welsh Jewish connection. Mazal tov and Diolch!

Thanks for the interesting topic and excellent video. I've always had an affinity to Llandudno. It's a lovely area but there's something intangible about the place that appeals to me. The Great Orme Tramway's one of my favourite diversions. Years ago, travelling round New Orleans, I stumbled across Temple B’nai Israel, built in 1906 in Natchez, Mississippi, with the congregation founded in 1843. It felt quite surreal seeing that old temple amongst the piney woods and Baptist churches of the Deep South. Best to you, Ben. Diolch eto.

Wow, excellent work! When I saw you post this link, I assumed it would be like Falmouth, where there was a Jewish community in Georgian times but it dwindled due to urbanization and new immigration patterns. Clearly this is not that. I also come from a former resort town with a small but close-knit Jewish community, but it's nothing on the scale of this.

Thank you Sam. Every now and then my channel will have something Jewish/Hebrew-related if you stay around. But as I am a gentile for at least the near future, I can write you a reply on Shabbat and focus on other kinds of videos.

Welcome to the faith brother ! Don't forget about the most unkind cut of all (I had it done when I was eight days old of course). Have you commented on the movie "Solomon and Gaynor"? I was told that it depicts a very rare occurrence in Welsh history. Dwi'n dysgu yr iaith gymraeg y dyddiau 'ma.
@BenLlywelyn Жыл бұрын
Diolch Alan. I have not mentioned Solomon and Gaynor - it is a fascinating glimpse and a rare one in Welsh History indeed. Judaism is part of Cymru, but on a level far less so than England or even Ireland.

The part of the story in the Mabinogion when Manawydan makes fantastic enameled shoes reminds me of how good Jews can be in business which was a double edged sword for them in some places. In Ukraine there was some jealousy there when Jewish merchants came into Kiev and took business away from the other merchants.

Fascinating comparison. And Jews indeed suffered quite a lot in Kyiv.

I now live in Israel, and still find a daffodil or a leek on St, Savids day. All Welsh born Israelis used to have a celebration on St, David’s day. My grandmother came from Ukraine in 1904 with 4 children and 5 more children born In Tredegar . My father was a teacher in Cardiff and studied in Cardiff university. I acted in Llandudno in 1961 when we did the play about Anne Frank. I remember the a Jewish family that came to see the play. The Poliakov family if my memory is ok.

We are evrywhere! Ben, I would welcome you to Our Tribe should you decide to become Jewish and live a Jewish life. As you know, I am Jewish, Israeli and my mom and grandmother were born in Mid-Glamorganshire, Wales, which, at one time was more Jewish than London. Those Jews are now long long gone. I think I somewhere read that Sasha Baron Cohen's family came from North Wales.

Thank you very much. I will visit a few synagogues 1st, and read on Nevi'im, Tanach and some Talmud. Probably visit Israel and improve Hebrew, before taking on such a responsibility - which can also be dangerous.
