Why do religious Jews have side curls (payot)? 

i love the videos with this rabbi. He seems like a great person to have endless fascinating conversation with.

i love rabbi breitowitz i had the honor of studying under him a cpl of years ago very educated dedicated man

Such a delightful way to learn about others. This world needs more conversations and willingness to understand others like this.

The rabbi just so humble and interesting

Best conversations I have heard on this channel so far

What an interesting, charismatic man.

This rabbi is so great!! Would love a playlist on your channel of just his responses. Amazing content, thank you.

Let the Rabbi explain Jewish law. Why do so many people commenting think they know better than him? Jewish people are allowed to explain Jewish law without outsiders insisting they're wrong. Do people tell Muslims they are wrong about Islam? Do people tell christians what christianity teaches? Why the double standard? Let the Jews be free to explain and practice their own religion.

This guy speaks so smart he is so thoughtful i as a jew can say he knows what he is talking about

I like listening to this man. It would be great to have a conversation with him.

Very respectful, clever and wise man...

Wonderful explanation, thank you

So in essence they are antennas that are curled to improve the magnetic field and reception with god...........got it

Can someone please tell me in what part of the Torah is it mentioned to not cut or shave the side burns/curls ? Thank you in advance

When your hands are permanently stained with the ink of the many books you have read.

He is a very learned and great person on earth. God love this old man. Love from India

He is a wise and friendly man...thanks for posting....I wish that I had a community I could identity with...I have never lived in my own country and I am not religious although technically I am protestant on census forms...I live in Switzerland but am an American national...so I have always been a foreigner. I am of of Swedish and English extraction but I don't really care about who my ancestors were in terms of my sense of belonging...I feel like an international citizen, and speak 3 langues and have lived and studied in three different countries and languages. It must be a warm and reassuring feeling to be part of a group, clan or community with shared values, goals an ways of living. Very interesting about the blue and white on the Israeli flag (there being more white than blue and if I understand him correctly this symbolizes that there are many things still to strive for) I wonder what this rabbi things about the plight of the Palestinians for all men, women and children dererve to be treated with dignity and respect...i hope that a peaceful solution will be found that allows all to live in harmony.

The colour blue is fairly new because it could not be found in natural pigments. Therefore the colour was blue was often decribed as green in old books. When was the blue thread thingy introduced?

What a pleasant, well spoken man.... thank you for the explanations. Fascinating how many people int he comments has the same basic impression.... I believe this is the 'glow' projected by a person who is truly in the good grace of God.

It sounds quite similar to the reasoning of the Nazirite. That the hairs are an antenna or conductor of Spiritual Energy.

I can listen to this man all day, he so nice and interesting.

Any other Christians here who love listening to him?

Thank you Corey.

The Jews in Yemen also had Payes.

I haven't watch the video just a small portion however this Rabbi is really articulate and has a great vocabulary, looks can be deceiving!

This gentleman is very well read but not at all egoistic . Many people who don't know half of what he does , are filled with ego and arrogance .

He seems really nice and is very interesting

he is so sweet.

Corey Do you read my tip if I send it via RU-vid?

Sikhs in Punjab region and in other parts of world also have uncut hair on their head.. I think rabbi explains very correctly and rationally that hairs connect person spiritual to one creator (God)... Thanks for valuable information.. ❤

This gentleman is incredibly wise God bless him

Love this man, he makes a great rabbi.

Man I love listening to that guy

Wow’ I liked that..

I personally find the payots quite weird . They look like little girls' ponytails and very unmanly .

I don't think I have ever seen an old Jewish man with curled Payos. I have only seen young and middle aged men with them. Why? or am I mistaken?

Well explained. The blue dye came from the Chalazon fish, that is not identifiable.

Interesting

i heard that today some jewish people try to make Christians leave Jerusalem. anyone know anything about tat?

Can you please ask this wonderful rabbi about the Jewish believe in afterlife, heavens, hell and Satan?

Well said, Rabbi!

The peyos has to do with leaving the crops in the corners of your fields ... for the poor. I've never heard of any wire business!

If the Torah commands us to also have a blue string, why in the world leave it out? Without it, it’s truly not tzit tzit, but merely a collection of white threads.

This rabbi is awesome!

I like the embolism of the blue thread.. I was not raised in a Jewish faith, I have a passover "Seder" for the sacrifices... very beautiful..

Now the guy who is interviewing says if possible to donate a dollar so he can continue his questions to people in Iand around Israel and Palestine??? There is NO Palestine -only Israel. Once he understands and agree this, then we may consider a dollar.

A Promised Ruler From Bethlehem Micah 5:2 2“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from Ancient Times.”

Please ask both religious Jews and secular Jews if they would like to see the Sanhedrin revived in Israel.

I wish Europeans would follow the Ashkenazi and study Hesoid and the Eddas the same way as they do the Torah. We have much to learn!

Can You One About These Jews Lineage & Ancestors Homeland

This guy was good.

hey why Jewish people grow their side curls some busy explain me

The origin of payot long side burns is from the Bedouin Hebrew Arabs growing two braids out of their blue striped scarf

HUMBLE REQUEST TO COREY GIL SHUSTER Why don't you conduct similar interviews employing Jewish/Palestinian centric topics to question non -Jewish attitudes towards Judaism, Israel, Palestine and Jews in different parts of the world ? I am sure the answers will be interesting to hear and will take the entire subject to the grassroot level involving the opinions of common people on the streets. The program should fare very well. Thanks in advance. Shalom.

I'm thinking prophet Samson had Payot's due to the Nazarite vow and when Delilah found out his weakness and cut off his Payot's he lost he strength and connection with God 😃 just a theory

Not all religious Jews have payot--the Lubavitchers don't have them, for example. Neither do the modern Orthodox, and even the non-Hasidic "black hat" Orthodox.

That’s they style

Ask this rabbi his thoughts on karaite customs (i.e. blue tzizit, no tefilin, no mezuza etc)

Corey you should ask Israelis if Dio is God.

Love this channel! In the process of conversion (reform). Visiting Jerusalem and Haifa next month!

So they follow men's rules but when God says add blue - meh not going to do it

Ask Him About True Israelites

Listening to this man explaining the origins of the side curls you realize that there are silly rules in every religion.

I think the curls and their clothes are cool

1:46 "It's hard to explain it rationally!" #religion

Rabbi breitowitz is very smart.

The ignorance of religion corrupts everything.

Here's a question that is basically a non-issue but still: why do some European-descent Jews (MC Serch, Howie Mandel, etc) have natural hair that's almost like that of a black person? a "Jewfro" some of them call it.

Because pigtails aren't kosher.

Excuse please, turkish?

Because it is one of Moses laws. "You shalt not cut of the hair at the sides of your head." Leviticus 19:27.

the right their haircut just like this rabbi...no payos

How can side hair be a connector.....for spirituality when hair it self is not living is dead cell .

The Law is contrary to us. It cannot take away sin. The very fact that you have to "try" to be good proves you aren't! If there was a law that could give righteousness, verily righteousness would have been by the law. But Jesus Christ fulfilled the law and ended up being crucified, buried and raised up as the ultimate sacrifice for sin; first for Israel and the Kingdom of God, to fulfill the promises to the fathers. But since Israel rejected Jesus as Messiah, He put the kingdom on hold and began saving ALL by grace through faith WITHOUT the law of Moses! The law of Moses cannot save anyone today because Israel rejected Whom Moses wrote about!

ceo of money

Nothing against them ,but omg it looks ugly as hell

1:46 There is nothing rational about any religion.

Jewish santa

Whatever it is, if the Jewish tradition and the Kabbalah merge, it immediately goes to idolatry..... It's a shame!

Was an informative clip until the begging for money started ..

He is a nice guy, in all his religious delusion.

He looks like he should be walkin the streets of the old country, ie Warsaw, Poland.

Jesus Christ defeated satan on the cross. We have the victory in him, salvation by grace through faith. Galations 3:29 😊

But most of them are bald

Ask the Israelis what they think about the demolition of the Khan al-Ahmar village.

Wrong answer by that guy the right answer is because GOD SAID SO. And he did not say why he just said so! Funny how that guy thinks he knows why cause that guy is not god how would he or anyone other than jesus know?

He explains very well. My question is: so the peyos us purely symbolic? To show that you're connecting your wisdom with your body.

what about all the other gods before their first book? Were they a bunch of lies? Their guy is for real though right? Keep growing that hair bruh. Thank the egyptians for your boys up at the top eh.

I listen to a few of these beard things they’re all different made up some of them of course mostly I think when I say I’m grown beards Judy you’re not clean I know GOD likes clean he does and he said he’ll be 10 feet long not trying to be disrespectful the side burner thing I heard explain I can see that want to do things to please God and know that

God I love that Rabbi.

God Bless Israel!!

So all people that shave their sideburns are gonna go to hell?

613?! Fuck that's a lot

Precious children of Israel ❤ Never surrender to your enemies 💪

I looked for this because I think payot looks so ridiculous

Same reason rastafarians grow dreadlocks

How unfortunate that most juus are not humble maybe they should listen to you old man

Nice guy, but come on!! The brain is the mental AND spiritual part of us??

The commandment is to NOT shave your head as was the custom in Mitzrayim. Not just the temples!!!

By the way he speaks he seems like an intelligent and educated person; how can he not see that these beliefs are ridiculous and backwards. Religion is turning intelligent people to children, it is so sad.
