Several incorrect things here: - Mitzvah is a duty or commandment. The mitzvah truck is used by Lubavtichers to get less observant Jews to start practicing more mitzvahs. - Mikvah is the word for the ritual bath, it is in a building not a bus. - Stamford hill isn't the only Haredi enclave in the UK. There's one in Manchester, Newcastle and Canvey Island. - The apron that men wear is called tzitzit. It's a ritual garment and not related to modesty. - There's a difference between Haredi and Hasidic. All Hasidic Jews are haredi (what you or I would call ultra orthodox) but not all Haredim are Hasidic. Essentially, Hasidic Judaism is a mystical form of Haredi Judaism.

Interestingly the Haredi Jews speak Yiddish than Hebrew. They consider Hebrew as a sacred language that should only be used in reading the bible and not used as an everyday language

Please do more from this area very interesting thank you

Hi I'm a Jew from this place and that caravan is actually referred to a "mitzvah tank" which means good deed tank. Mitzvah means good deed, and not a bath for women to bath in. This caravan is actually used for traveling around in to finding Jewish people who don't know they're Jewish and helping them know they are Jewish and teaching them all about it. Both women and men bath in a building not a caravan and these buildings are especially designed for women and men to bath in separately to purify ourselves for all different unpurified reasons.

Great video..as a man that lived in Golders Green for 7 years you taught me more on this video that I got to know there by asking all these questions!

Thank you George, you are a very good teacher, and a very stylish classy communicator. I really enjoyed that, extremely informative in a concise way! Please keep these vlogs up

What part of Ireland is this accent from? I grew up between London and Ireland and this accent bears no resemblance to any accent from Ireland. It's an English middle-class accent.

Very interesting video, cheers for making it. It's interesting to learn about how such a secluded group lives in the UK.

Very impressive and eloquent delivery. ⭐

George, very good, your posh breeding, very refined accent, intelligence and education all shines through in spades. Very good.

I'm so glad to pointed out that we (ashkenazim) originate in Israel, and NOT in Eastern Europe like the majority of people think. Yes, we spent a lot of time there after we were expelled from our homeland by various empires, with only a small ethnic input from the area by way of intermarriage and sadly in many cases by rape during pogroms. Gateshead has a large haredi community, though more Litvish than hasidic.

I do business a lot in Stamford Hill. More interesting are the streets off Stamford Hill. Overcrowded houses and cottage businesses are run from those terraced houses.

thank you, doing a wonderful tour im working already over 15 years in the jewish comunity and i know all about this community they are honest reliable people they never harm or try to hurt anyone else! check it out for yourself

You're so articulate

There are 271,000 Jews living in England and Wales, according to the results of the 2021 Census. The figure, published by the Office For National Statistics, showed there had been a slight rise in the Jewish population over the past decade. The same census conducted in 2011 had showed there were 265,000 Jews in England and Wales. (recently published on Jewish News website) I live in Wales and generally we never see an Jews here, although I recently discovered that at least three of my University colleagues were/are Jews, although this was not known at the time. Most Jews that I have ever met also seem to hide it very well.

Also not only do adults kiss (not touch) these mezuzahs before entering or leaving a room or building, but so do the children and it is considered a good deed to do this but it isn't permitted. Now we are allowed to show our legs, there are just alot of Jews who choose not to, to be extra careful with modesty, although we are permitted to be "tzniot" which means modest in other ways, such as all women and girls from the age of 3 are permitted to not show our knees, ankles, from the collarbone down and elbows as it is considered "untzniot" which means immodest. The men have different rules of modesty as men tend to wear trousers and short sleeved shirts, they are still permitted to not have trousers or shorts TOO short and they mustn't be topless and they are permitted from the age of 3 as well, to start wearing a yamulka on their heads and "tzitzit" by their wastes and they have to make a blessing every day on their "tzitzit" which means strings that dangle by their sides attached to a special vest they must wear. The men from the age of 13 (bar mitzvah) means a man according to Judaism have to start wearing a hat and jacket when out in public and a woman from the age of 12 (bat mitzvah) which means a woman, are considered just like men from the age of 13, to be held accountable for all their actions and only the children's good deeds count and children's bad deeds are blamed by the parents until they should become bat/bar mitzvah. We are permitted to take care of our bodies, although it does not state in our Bible "the Torah" that we shan't have drugs or smoke, it is just strongly suggested that we present ourselves with up most respect which is also reason for why we dress modestly just as our behaviours, well at least in public. There are many, I know who are Jewish and smoke and take drugs, although they DO try not to show it in public too often and it isn't a bad deed "an avara" unless it is really damaging our health.

haredim are not only in stamford hill!! There are huge comminities in other places including half of the manchester Jewish community!!

I was born in Tottenham, and lived there t8ll I was 18 and that was over 50 years ago, Stamford Hill was always very orthodox, let's keep the areas that way. Even St Ann's Church which is in St Ann's Road past Sevensisters Road was known as St Ann's Stamford Hill. It's easy to believe that to be Jewish means to support Israel but so many of them do not like the Zionist state believing it is not really a Jewish state and also condemn the treatment of the Palaestians.

Just moved to the UK. So trying to learn as much as possible. We are Jewish but not hasidic. Great vid.

Gateshead in the south of Newcastle has a Hasidic enclave.

Hello there, George. When I think of you, the name Brendan comes into my head. I think this is because, when I first saw your vid., I saw the name Ireland. I must have put two and four together, and got four, like you do! Anyhow, I digress; the main reason for this ride, was to ask you why, when you're creating your indoor vids., all the hush and rush? I imagine you being on the run, and about to be busted at any moment! The tension produced, has the advantage of keeping me watching until the end. Is this intentional? Or are you actually in harm's way?!! No answer required! 😀 Ciao Bello..

Which area do they have their own police and ambulances? Could you do a video on that please? Thanks

Lots of misinformation!!!

In Southampton People are Known as Worzels, because they have a West Country accent in Southampton, it is also sometimes spelt Wurzels.

I grew up around there in the 1970's. A decent chunk of my family still lives there, a couple right there in Stamford Hill Estate. @7:45 pretty sure that I see my sisters flat window up there in the 2nd floor over his shoulder on the right. These were the only Jews I knew of growing up. As a kid I never questioned that this was what all Jewish folk looked like. It took a family holiday abroad when I was 14 to the states for me to see my first Jewish person that was not a Hasidic, and looked "regular" lol. Childhood ignorance I know, Amazing to be born and raised in that city but still so ignorant... but so much are they embeded/intertwined/long established, and if you live around there, they are "everywhere" seeming to own/landlord most of the properties there and in Clapton, and toward Haringey/Tottenham. Shame that they do not seem to be a warm kind of folk. But I suspect its their way. Always walking three or four abreast on the pavement, taking up just about 4/5ths of it, and showing no signs whatsoever that they will not plow down and walk right over you and not skip a beat, if you dont dash to the side to get out of the way. And they wont look or talk to you while doing. Have not lived there for some time, but go there everytime I'm back in London to visit family. Do miss that area as my entire youth was spent there.

I Love London ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰 and Stamford Hill

Very interesting thanks

very informative, thankyou

Also, I may as well add that we do not have so many of us with glasses, I don't know where you got THAT from, but ye, thanks for listening ✔️ (I'm not offended don't worry, just had to put it out there).

I picked wrong video my computer has tech problem.

Jewish weekly interesting!!

Handsome lad, you look like Milei

An interesting and informative article about Judaism...Maybe on your travels you should do a tour of Goldiers Green which is the the main Jewish area of London today.

Something I didn’t catch. He said they wear glasses and seem to have poor eyesight. And then he connected this with living in Israel and Poland. 🤔 I always understood it was down to the masturbating. 😮

Eyesight issues caused by small gene pool i presume.

Can someone please explain the "rules" or even "laws" relating to menstruation ?

Oh I love those long dark skirts…. What a turn on😂🤣😅

They dwell alone / They dwell together / A truism.

Hello Mr. Callaghan - the correction pronunciation is Lub -AH - vitch, with the accent on the 2nd syllable.

🇵🇸

I don't think the Haredim like the zionists and some of them have spoken out in public against the treatment of the Palestinians. Good for them!

Sorry mate I've reported you for misinformation ... do your research first

I always enjoyed listening to Rabbi Lionel Blue...

All silly
