Rabbi Uri Lati left his native Damascus at the age of three, but he continues to maintain strong ties with his Syrian roots. Today he teaches Torah classes in Arabic to the Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York.
ما اجمل روحك السورية اليهودية المسيحية المسلمة. ما اجمل المحبة التي تدعي اليها . للاسف لقد خسرتك وخسرتنا سوريا كما خسرت الكثيرين من ابناءها الابرار. ادامك الله وبارك بك وبأمثالك من الداعين للمحبة في الله.
شكرا لك حاخام على أخلاقك العالية ونحن اخوانك المسلمين علمنا القرآن والنبي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم حبنا الشديد لانبيائنا وانبيائكم من بني اسرائيل عليهم السلام وانت خير من يمثل التعايش والتسامح بينا زادك الله علما وبارك فيك
Syrian Jews are great preservers of classical ancient Hebrew as they preserved in Damascus and Aleppo. At the same time they were huge contributors to Shami Arabic language and Syrian traditions.

يعطيكون العافية. انا من حلب وسعيد جدا بسماعكم حزين جدا الذهاب اهل سوريا وتفريغها من تنوعها الثقافي الرائع. نظام الاسد فرق بين هذه المكونات وجعلها تخشى بعضها البعض

@@wasal5526 First of all I am not an Arab I am Egyption and I have never been to Palestine before which is Israel according to the promise of the Lord Greetings
My grandfather was from Damascus, i live in israel, i hope i could visit damascus one day. syria is a beautiful country, the war is so sad. And its so sad that we live so close but we cant travel each other's country. I hope muslims and jews in the middle east can learn to live in peace together
اكيد نشجعك حضرة الحاخام على نشر دروسك ومواعظك بالعربي لناخد الافكار من اصحابها الحقيقين ومانسمع عنها من مصادر تعمل على تشويه الحقائق عن جهل او عن قصد كل الاحترام يا ابن بلدي سورية
I respect you so much Rabbi Lati. All Arabs of all groups: Muslims, Christians, Jews, Druze, Armenians, Coptics, etc. were living all in peace with a beautiful, rich culture that we all shared and cherished together. Our diversity and unity was what made us strong. Peace be upon you ✌️🇵🇸🇸🇾 ☦️🕊 🙏
@@who167 glad to hear that you don't consider yourself arab, the term 'arab jew' makes as much sense as 'arab assyrian'. Speaking arabic does not make one an arab. I think a better term is just the traditional must'arabim or 'arabized/those who arabize' because its in relation to sefaradic jews who came from from iberia and settled all over North Africa, and I believe the term extends to the middle east as well. My ancesstors spoke judeo-espanyol/ladino/spanyolit (which ever term is more most appropriate for north african sephardim. They also knew how to read traditional arabic and hebrew (and in some cases speak both to some extent, although not fluently. When they arrived in Tangiers/Tetuoan and mixed for centuries with jews of meknes (who spoke judeo-arabic/darija) they gradually switched to more judeo-maghrebi/ customs, including switching to darija and and following more 'arabic like' north african jewish melodies and traditions. Today some of my relatives speak French, judeo- Moroccan/Darija, and Hebrew, that is Israeli Hebrew with a Moroccan-Jewish accent. We pronounce the guttural letters like Het, Ayin (3ayin) in regular speech. Sometimes, Qof is pronounced in praying/singing torah or religious songs of the Edot haMizrah (3edot haMizra7). And Tzadi is sometimes pronounced like the emphatic Saadi, which is more ancient and found in some Syrian communities but especially in Iraq and Yemen. But we are not arabs. There are also jews that just spoke berber, and later modern hebrew. That makes them culturally berber but they are still genetically jews by descent for the most part, not berbers, at least in most cases according to recent genetic studies. Although no ethnic grooup or 'racial' group in history has ever been pure anything. And then there are the Jews from Halab who came from Iberia and were 'culturally arabized' but the larger existing by the indigenous Syrian Jewish community like those of Damascus. Similar I guess to my own family's history in Morocco, gradually speaking arabic and separating from the western sefaradim who still pronounce ayin like an 'ng' sound, very nasal. And most pronounce het as khet like khaf. Infact Modern Israeli Hebrew which was codified by an ashkenazi Jew from Russia (I think), is actually based on western sefaradic or portuguese/spanish hebrew. The vowels of Israeli Hebrew or Sabra Hebrew are based on sefaradic hebrew, as a whole as well. Ashkenazi Hebrew when spoken by litvaks or Hassidim sounds more like Yiddish because of the complicated vowels (similar to yemenite hebrew) and the stress is not on the last syllable. I mean, Israelis or sabras don't say yisroel or beis lol. Another fun fact, many Ashkenazi Jews I have seen are way darker skinned than this Syrian Rabbi whcih again, shows we all descend from eretz yisra'el. Ever see Jeff Goldblum, even without a sun tan? And the Halabi/Syrian Jewish actor Frank Hedaya looks a lot a cousin or brother of Eugene Levy (an ashkenazi jew) who could easily pass as a Moroccan, Algerian or Djerban/Tunisian Jew as well. Anti-zionists hate this. I mean the real rabid ones (who make up the majority of goyim who are anti-zionist based soley on ignorant assumptions and on their hatred of jews and of the tanakh and talmud. The Nazis based their anti-semitism on religion but also racial characteristics (in terms of generalities or stereotypes). Ashkenazi Jews were not europeans and were never viewed as white in europe under the nazis, but even before that. Although as a rule, german jews were usually more mixed and looked more white than the eastern ashkenazim of Lithuania, Poland, or Russia. Hertzl in one picture is seen together with dagestani jews on eather side of him, and unless someone knew that was Hertzl, they would have thought he was azerbaijani jewish (who migrated to dagestan from persia/iran many centuries ago.
الله يرحم هديك الايام يوم اللي كان المسلم و المسيحي و اليهودي و الدرزي عايشين سوا بسوريا اذا بدك تعرف تاريخ دمشق اسأل مين اللي بنا قصورا بتلاقي أسماء من كل الأديان يا ريتني خلقت بهديك الأيام قبل ما يجي حزب البعث
من المؤسف أن سوريا فقدت مثل هذه الطاقات والثقافات. نرغب في استعادة كل هذا في المستقبل ، لنعيش بسلام ، كما يكرر هذا الحاخام ، وأن تكون القدس بوصلة جميع الأديان
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته لك وللضيف والمتابعين👍⚘ كالعاده اسمتعنا بالموضوع ،شكرا وصل تحياتنا لضيفك العزيز من السعوديه ، نتمنى لو ان كل اليهود مثلك ومثله ، واصل والى الامام ، بارك الله فيكم👍👍⚘⚘
I really enjoyed listening and seems like a good character and nice person; just surprising when he was asked if he visited an Arab country he said no, but then later says he was in Jerusalem.
تحية لسماحة الحاخام إلحنان و لسماحة الحاخام الشامي السوري أوري و نحنا فخورين فيكم إنو عم تنشروا قيم التسامح و السلام و إنشالله السلام بيعم الجميع و نحنا كلنا إخوة سوريين و ولاد عم ♥️🌷
Beautiful! Ba'hannik, Hakham. Perashat ha'shabu'a is a very important step.Traditional, step by step learning is often being neglected. Young students now want to jump straight to Kabbalah! :). Shabbat Shalom!.
@@UriLati Hakham Lati, I’m a Syrian-American Muslim (also from Damascus) and I stumbled on your Facebook videos as I was interested in learning more about fellow Syrian Jews. I agree with others-your videos are unique because they are in Arabic and I was able to understand them. (I think there is another Halabi Rabbi Nissim who also give lectures in Arabic.) Your content is very meaningful and I’ve learned more about the wisdom of Jewish teachings through them. Many of the stories and parables you share are comparable to lessons and morals in Islamic tradition as well. I’m glad this channel featured you in a video and I recognized your face when the video popped up on my RU-vid feed! Similar to you, I was born and raised in America but care deeply about my Syrian heritage and maintaining my Arabic, so I commend your efforts to preserve Arabic literacy within your community! Inshallah the situation changes in Syria and you get the chance to go there soon. I too have always wanted to see the Jobar synagogue, and I hope all Syrian Jewish sites get restored and brought back to life! Until then, I hope there will be efforts to build bridges between the various faith and ethnic groups within the wider Syrian American community.
راباي إيلحانان ، تودا رابا ، أنا بسمع الدروس تبع راباي أوري ، هاد ابن بلدي ابن الشام وغالي علينا ، سلاماتي الك ولرباي أوري ربنا يعطيكون الف صحة ويطول عمركون ، بزغات هاشيم منرجع كلنا بلد واحد متل أول .
من الجزائر أحييك. انا مسلم جزائري امازيغي احترم اليهود المسالمين الذين يعملون على زرع المحبة والاخوة بين عباد الله. اليهود والمسلمين في رأيي يعبدون رب واحد لا شريك له. لذلك انا اشجع هذا التقارب الإنساني بين عباد الله. سلام الله عليكم شلوم عليخم
@@lunacodess Thank you, Luna. I am familiar with Hakham Lati, and I have seen several of his short videos., which I greatly enjoy. I was thinking of those viewers who understand, but don't read the Arabic language. Great video!
