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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
