Leaving the ultra-orthodox – Jews seeking a new life in Germany | DW Documentary

 

I

 

ncreasing numbers of Jews have been leaving ultra-orthodox communities in recent years. Surprisingly, Germany has become a popular refuge for them. Rabbi Akiva Weingarten has been helping them. More than 1.3 million Jews live in ultra-orthodox communities worldwide. It’s a kind of parallel universe — in which only God’s laws count. Every aspect of everyday life is clearly regulated: The women are responsible for the home and for looking after the children while the men devote their lives to religious study. 

 

But some ten percent of ultra-orthodox Jews in Israel go on to quit their communities - and that figure is growing. The majority are young adults and, surprisingly, many come to Germany. Akiva Weingarten was one of them. He grew up in an ultra-orthodox Satmar community in New York State but made a radical break in 2014. He left his wife and children and started a new life in Berlin - without a credit card, a bank account or a job, or any relatives to fall back on. 

 

 

He is now surrounded by a free community of former ultra-orthodox Jews - who turn to the rabbi for practical and religious advice. Moshe Barnett and David Lamberger have only been flat mates in Dresden for a few months now. They are not just seeking a new life, but a new relationship with God. ------------------------------------------------------------------

Carlos Gabriel Hasbun Comandari Carlos Gabriel Hasbun Comandari 3 months ago Kudos to Corey for having the courage to ask thorny questions in a land of conflict. I think too many people take it for granted, not contributing in any way but harshly criticizing his style. I find that attitude extremely shameless. 131 trk rkd trk rkd 3 months ago people often give corey shit for being aggressive with palestinians but he was just as forward with the jews in this episode 242 sm sm 3 months ago 

 

 

(edited) It's like some of the settlers learn to Prepare made up reasonings for themselves as they grow older, cause the younger one's reasonings are basically meaningless!! 89 Jos Jos 3 months ago When you say it wasn't theirs make sure to give back America to real Americans as well as Australia 59 Hasan Hasan Hasan Hasan 3 months ago Even Israel's own Supreme Court (let alone the International community ) regards the occupation as illegal. Labour member of parliament, Yossi Sarid, expressed concern: 'Resistance breeds repression, which strengthens resistance, thus unleashing more repression, and one day we Israelis will look at ourselves in the mirror and be unable to bear the cruel and repulsive image reflected in it. We want not only to liberate Palestinlians from military domination but also to liberate ourselves from its effects." 16 E. Carroll E. Carroll 2 months ago There's some real shamelessness going on here. 14 Aaron Alex Aaron Alex 3 months ago Make a t-shirt saying “Lama Lō?” 59 Pablo Diablo Pablo Diablo 3 months ago This could be hours long & I'd STILL watch it. Actually, would be great to see that if possible? 16 Dan-The-Man Dan-The-Man 3 months ago This is one of the best Corey videos dude. He was asking questions in a pressing way and did not back down. And actually confronted the Israeli settlers. 24 Jonathan Martin Jonathan Martin 3 months ago I believe God gave me the wealth and money of all my neighbors, now I am going to take it from them by force to prove my godly point. Brilliant. 91 Mario Mene Mario Mene 3 months ago (edited) Wow, this is an amazing question--they're all so very uncomfortable being asked it! Update : except toward the end.

Not all Muslims are Arabs, just like nit all Arabs are Muslim. That’s be like lumping me, a English-speaking person from the US, in with Italians cause the script I use is Latin and we are both Christian-majority countries. 19 Anime 565 Anime 565 3 months ago Hi I really love all your videos and I have questions im really interested to hear the answers to I would really appreciate it if you would want to use them in your future projects! Question to Palestinians: if you could go back in time to 1948 would you prefer to agree to Partition plan and Establish a country in the lands the UN gave you? Or would you still prefer to go to a war so all the land will be yours? For the Arab Israelis who served/serving in the IDF: what your family and your friends think about you serving in the IDF? Are there was sometimes problems with it? Are you feel equally to the Jews who serving with you? 11 Junayed ij Junayed ij 3 months ago Their eyes says everything 31 Address Opinion Alamat Opini Address Opinion Alamat Opini 3 months ago 👏🔥🙏 1 Eren Yeager Eren Yeager 4 weeks ago They are trying hard to convince themselves, For their actions.

I believe an interviewer should correct misinformation, but allow the person they are asking to share their opinions without turning it into a debate. I think it's good to have back and forth style videos, but sometimes I just want to simply hear what the opinion of interviewees. That being said, I still enjoy his videos and think that he does a great job. 8 Youtube Account Youtube Account 3 months ago When was the last time a thief admitted she was a thief ? 69 Pablo Diablo Pablo Diablo 3 months ago Ok, I'm halfway in.

If someone here was honest & said/says "look, it's a war,ok?... and we're winning", then I would understand this ( not agree, understand ). 16 Gad Headhunter Gad Headhunter 1 month ago 1:22 perfect example of cognitive dissonance lol 2 fahad ak fahad ak 2 weeks ago Just divided
