Gita Katz is a larger-than-life character. I got to know her through Pearl, the famous Hasidic woman whom I have had the honor of having on this channel before. In this interview, she shares what it was like to grow up in Hasidic Williamsburg in the shadow of the holocaust.

      Yeah Torah is the correct word but many people don't know the word, and it can roughly be translated to the bible. The Torah is the old testament essentially.

    As a Hasidic Jewish woman our religious text isn’t a bible it’s called the Torah but can also be referred to as the Old Testament. Also it was so weird to have a grown man comment on a child’s appearance especially since it’s religious, couldn’t imagine another adult doing that to a Muslim child or Christian child and people being ok with it.

      I don't think it's quite as significant as a nativity play. I think it's mostly for fun. A more significant reenactment would be of the Jews leaving Egypt, the story of Passover.

    I appreciate your work a lot and your own way, as a Christian i keep coming back to your videos with honest interest on learning about the Hasidic Jewish community and how and why they live the way they do. Very interesting and insightful. We should all learn about others and their culture and religion in order to have more respect and understanding, i think. To agree or not is not the point, instead, the respect should follow or conduct towards others. Keep the great work, you have a lovely soul. Oh this is Brígida and i say hi from Portugal :)

    Frieda, that was so touching and sad and beautiful. I had tears in my eyes. I am really sorry for the pain you went through. You seem like a very special person and that you had a very special relationship in your marriage. It must have been so deeply hurtful that it came to an end because of differences in levels of religiosity - differences that can and should be worked through, or respected and accepted. I hope you have healed from this pain, and can go on to live a happy and meaningful life, without allowing this pain and hurt to inform your choices. Lots of love.

  • @Rebecca-vn2ou

    Beautiful and enjoyable video! Thank you Frieda and Pearl, you are both so deeply insightful, understanding and respectful. On the subject of shaving hair, it is a very personal thing between a woman and her husband - each women can do it if she so wants, and no-one else needs to know what's going on under their head-covering. I too have tried to find the source for this custom, which is just that - a custom which a small percentage keep, but no-one is obligated to do if they do not wish to. It seems that there was a time when women were becoming lax in covering their hair (which is a Jewish law), so some communities enacted this custom as a 'fence', so to speak, so that they shouldn't come to going with their heads uncovered. Personally, I shave my hair because it is the most comfortable thing to do when your head is covered most of the time anyway. But if I would want to grow back hair, or if my husband would like me to grow my hair and I would want that too, that would be fine. My daughter, who is Hasidic like me, did not want to cut her hair after she got married, and that's OK! Nobody's forcing her or has a problem with it! By the way, I so often see funky (or punky) women on the street with their hair shaved or cropped very short, and I wonder how come no-one has a problem with that - and it's exposed! - but when Hasidic women do it, and it's hidden, they are ridiculed, or pitied?!! Frieda, I can't help wondering - Pearl's words seem to sit so well with you - you seem comfortable with what she's saying, or are you just pretending?
