A Jewish programme of interest

[Rachie]

Hides, I am quite shy. I don't like to post a lot, but sometimes I have no other choice. It is simply doesn't fit in anywhere.

Anyway must confess have seen some interesting replies by some of our Jewish community on this forum and read with interest. What was described was quite a strict upbringing like my own in some sense. I won't discuss my own though. Some things perhaps more strict and some not.

Unless someone brings it up I cannot mention names.

I was just by chance flicking through BBC iplayer on my TV smart TV but this can be watched online as well. This may be restricted to just UK. I don't how the BBC iplayer works like that. There was a very interesting programme though for me. They had a documentary series on Jews, You may find it by typing that. There was one programme, I am not sure of how many, I didn't wish to Google but I may have to link to it online laughs. Anyway, they had one called Faith and it featured a Jewish man. He is a drug addict also. He was very interesting and I was watching with interest. He mentioned in it that many parents in the Jewish faith will not let their children use the internet at home and I think said or have phones as well. I didn't grow up with these things either...they wasn't around. I have seen this mentioned by other Jewish members. Other things I found interesting too and some might as well.

Another thread right surely that home broadband is way expensive in the UK...mine was around £30 plus just for the internet and pay seperate on my phone another £20. You wonder if to do away with the home broadband and just use your phone and mobile broadband and tether but nice to have the ease of use. Moves on swiftly not to be discussed.

I will say I saw online locally about a syngagogue which is part of a faith forum of multiple faiths. They was doing a gaming day event and put it on the website it was advertised. I never knew who can come. I wanted to join and give it a go and thinking part of a multi faith initivative perhaps could be open to all. I just asked if I could come along. Life well I am trying to extend what I can do lets say. I was replied I cannot attend in the conditions of today's world. It is so sad for I don't watch the news anymore and not a political person..shame I couldn't go. You don't know who I am and that I come in good intentions. They may have thought I may have wanted to hurt members given the violence and disgraceful behaviour of some. Nothing more to be said.

Anyway here is a link to the BBC website a photo so it can be identified easily. I have found and it may be that and I will still upload my TV image.

There are so many levels of observance within Judaism. Just looking at all those described as ultra-Orthodox, a world of difference exists between the extremes. What my family permitted - reading certain secular books and magazines, occasional viewing of screened movies, listening to the radio, using cell phones with games and cameras - would horrify some of our neighbors and cause them not to socialize with us. Then there are others much less strict than we were.

I really liked that Samuel has kept his faith despite his addiction. It was a figure of faith who said about the no internet at home for how many Jewish people I don't remember him expanding on. He had some really lovely looking pastries there Samuel. They seemed so many you would think enough for a good while etc. There used to be a really lovely Jewish pastry shop in Gants Hill in Ilford and you would pass and see some lovely looking pastries on display as you passed. I must say I found it rather odd that he said he would be done them all come the morning and then restock. I was not expecting that. Kudos to him. They certainly looked nice.

He is a Hasidic Jew and ultra orthodox. This is from the BBC website directly. My parents when I was growing up was very respective of Jewish law from circumcision to more, into no further detail. It seems I grew with many of the Jewish laws.

The Prisoner
"The story of ultra-orthodox Hasidic Jew Samuel Leibowitz, who has multiple convictions for international drug-smuggling. Filmmaker Vanessa Engle follows him as he comes out of prison and returns to his community, documenting his re-entry into ultra-orthodox life to discover whether he can overcome his transgressions and live once again as an observant Hasidic Jew".

I was looking on the BBC iplayer again as well and sleep took me and then found self woken and they showed me the series was running. Several seemed to have similar upbrining for some Jewish I have communicated so diverse. One girl one parent European english and dad Jewish heritage and the mix so much likely as well. It was countable to me in numbers. Saw in inpatient special holy days they would follow through as well. Diverse sometime relative a loved one can be out of country and then those knowing trying to look out for them.


This is what they played me next it was from the series Growing up Jewish. Some of my family special birthdays to 13. Jewish prescene at home circumsion.
My family had integrated mesh from the get go. Mums side so many changes her dad was a natural doctor come alternative then pulled to Muslim then conversion to Christianity country dad not sure mum several her side Muslim as well. Dad mostly Christian some in ministry and Anglican and mum said since Childhood get that as Catholic and you would for sure the blessed water she would love as well as well with her daily visits and then remarked had been going since childhood well need a timeline on it lol. I think so knowledgable in Old and new laws often with a funny sweet story to me.
