Why There's a Single, Tiny Wire Encircling Manhattan 

Orthodox Jew here. Yeah, they're terrible. lol

This really was AWESOME to see, though. I grew up on the upper west side as an orthodox jew, and its super cool to see you making a video about this. A lot of our traditions can seem strange to an outside observer, so I'm really happy to see this

hi

I tried submitting some 😊

couldn't you have asked a jew? I would have been happy to correct your pronunciation and errors... or any of my rabbis or friends... this is so wrong it hurts

It's just work with extra steps

Exactly its exhausting especially on Thursday and friday. Im an orthodox jew.

@@sebastiansosnowski3859 us jews are pretty good at that.

That's basically the Apostle Paul's whole argument about why Christians shouldn't feel compelled to follow the Law of Moses.

It's not work per se - there just isn't any English translation for it. "Creative work" is the best way IMO - and it doesn't even scratch the surface.

when i was in the US on a work & holiday visa this is what Ive done in the Jewish orthodox communities. Some of them are really cool, they tip a lot :D

@@Slashplite Do they tip on the Sabbath or after the Sabbath? Because that sounds like completing a transaction...

@@stylesrj heh, I had a similar thought when HAI mentioned the job. You'd probably best get a contract drafted and signed on Friday that states payment in full is to be made on Sunday

stylesrj we wouldn’t do anything that involves tipping, such as going to a restaurant or anything, since using money on shabbat is not permitted.

@@marlinlenchanteur4260 no we're allowed to flush, because it's not "creating something". Creating something probably sums up everything you're not allowed to do on the Sabbath

I hope this is true and that they could complete the whole thing in a day without actually giving any notice whatsoever to their actual newly minted enemy.

So premeditated crimes would be fine, but not spontaneous crimes of passion.

amazingly stupid...

God never saw that coming.

bend the rules but don´t break them

Basically Judaism in a nutshell

Pretty sure that describes just about every set of laws out there

well at least they don't actually break them, Christians just ignore 90% of the bible which isn't bad in itself, just mildly hypocritical

basically sums it up

@@foodistzen what would you prefer to call them?

@@foodistzen if not humans?

Fits right in with 99.999999% of all religious people, full of S, cherry pick and twist the words of their doctrine to fit whatever lifestyle they want to live.

This is pretty much how I view everything related to religion. "DoN't Do ThIS!" "What if I (Eruv in this case)..." "Oh thats completely fine."

That's the whole point of jews, all they do is trick their fake god

Judaism views trying to circumvent laws as pious, because it means you have studied them.

As a formerly religious Jew, the key here is that Orthodox Jews don't believe this is a loophole. They believe that the Torah (which in this case includes the Talmud) has no mistakes, and therefore every odd technicality, including the eruv, is perfectly intentional on God's part. Therefore, when they put up an eruv around Manhattan, this is as in keeping with God's law as claiming an itemized deduction for charitable donations is with American tax law. Why would God add this sort of odd technicality? Who knows! Orthodox Jews also don't believe it's possible to know God's intent about anything unless the Torah spells it out directly.

More like tricking themselves.

@@lw7238 yeah exactly. and tbh it's kinda sad that it got to this point

That's Talmudic Judaism to a tee. If they think they can cheat God...

True. This feels to me like they know that they want to stay with their religion, but they also know that this law sucks so they are kinda cheating with it. So then, a question pops up in my head: Why they just dont screw up that law or stop being part of that religion. Lol 🙃

reminds me of how medieval monks would get around food restrictions. Like during lent they weren't allowed to eat meat, but fish was okay, so they simply classified things like puffins and beavers as fish.

Saw that in a Numberphile video or I wouldn't have known what the heck you meant.

Dude thats genius

Now that's a brilliant idea

I live in a neighborhood with this in Pittsburgh (but am not Jewish myself) and this happens when there's a disaster/event that could damage the line, too! I can't remember what the event was in the last few years but there was special care taken to ensure the line was checked and secure afterwards.

certainly brother Shabbat shalom

If you were a real man you'd damage the eruv anyway

Another acceptable approach would have been to tell the religious nuts that other people needn't redo their lives to suit the religious person's batshit crazy ideas. The rabbi was a real nice guy - sure, until you insisted on doing something he didn't like. Then he would have screamed bloody persecution. Fuck those nut jobs.

*kills jesus*

It's pretty pathetic. Their little tricks are simply their own righteousness. They're trying to make themselves holy in a way that God never asked them to do. How sad. Jesus came to straighten it out when he said the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. The Sabbath was given to us people 4 a day to spend with God and with others of like mind. It's a day to remember all the great things God has done. Yes we are to keep it holy and to not do any work but that's for our good in order to focus on him and his goodness and to share that time with other believers. It's a wonderful day of rest. It has nothing to do with whether or not you carry something on the Sabbath day! In fact Jesus said it is right to do good on the Sabbath day. That means that if someone happens to have a flat tire on the Sabbath and you know how help them out, you should stop and help them put their spare on. Or if someone was maybe driving with a load of something in the back of their pickup and they turn the corner and Spilled it all out on the road, pull over and help them pick it up. Or if someone's cows get out of their fence, help them get the cows back in even on the Sabbath day! Or if there's someone that is sick and needs some kind of medication and cannot wait, go to the store and buy it for them. Or if there is someone that hasn't had food and is hungry, give them food even if you have to go to the store and buy it. Those are the times when you can buy or sell on the Sabbath, when it's an emergency. Many times we would have food of our own that we could give people so we don't even need to buy anything. It's about resting in the Lord and sharing his goodness with others, that's what the Sabbath is about. It's not about our selfish petty little rules and acting like we're holier than everyone else! That's pretty disgusting and you can't trick God into thinking you're holy.

Jewish women cant show hair, so they wear wigs. There is a lot of God's Law workarounds in that religion.

@John McKay Nah dude, it's the opposite. The logic is that god is too smart to have left any loopholes accidentally. So if there's a loophole, god must want you to use it.

@@AlphaetusPrime Yeah my mind is blown.

That's why no one penalizes them for cheating. It's like flying machines in minecraft, it's hard to do that so no one cares that your breaking the laws of physics with some pulles and command blocks

Ex-Jew here: Yeah, it’s pretty stupid. And when you really get them to think about it, no one seems to think it makes much sense either, (at least in the orthodox circles I’m a part of,) and yet they still follow and don’t-quite-break the laws like they do.

Exactly what i want to comment.

Yeah, elephants won't work on their day of either!

I agree. I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we believe in Sabbath day observance. However, we believe that the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. It was given to us for our benefit, to allow us a day to set aside the worries of day-to-day life and focus on our relationship with God and our worship of Him. When it comes to working on Sunday, we believe that it should be avoided as much as possible, but that some professions may require Sunday work, such as healthcare, law enforcement, emergency services, and public transportation. We’re encouraged not to conduct business on Sunday, nor to engage in recreational activities. Many of us choose not to study or do homework on Sunday. In short, it’s meant to be a day of rest and worship. How exactly we observe the Sabbath is between ourselves and the Lord.

This is why I pay no attention to what most ancient rabbis said. If you worship and obey god, do what god said, not a bunch of people who were ,supposedly, experts on interpreting his will. If it has a business in it, it is NOT all a private area in gods eyes. The wire is therefore irrelevant. If you break gods commands, at least confess it and beg mercy, don't try to make up a pitiful excuse like this. I won't tell you to go oat and slaughter a lamb as penance but seriously, stop being stupid.

I know. It's rather beautifully Hebrew. It has a sort of inside out logic that I find deeply satisfying. To me it's a way of negotiating to be both compliant with the law and at the same time have things work practically.

@@robertbilling6266 It is your day of rest, you are supposed to be resting and praying. You may buy or make what you will eat that day, but that is generally the limit of work on a sabbath.

@@r.m.5548 >creatures that drain life from you >don't exist 🤔

Convenience

No. Judaism is much more complicated than a short youtube video can explain. The commandmant in the Torah says only to rest on the seventh day. In order to understand what that includes and what you are actually supposed to do there is the Talmud. The Talmud brings the thought process of big Rabbis and the bottom line of what they see as right. In this case they didn't specify the weight or bulkiness of the thing you want to carry, just no carrying anything from private prop. to public. And since it's gotten important, other Rabbis found a loophole that allows you to carry belongings without a worry. So this is not defying g-d himself, but adding an interpretation to his command. Judaisim is a strict religion with many little details that have been studied for over 3000 years. Till this day it's all relevant and adjustable to modern times.

@@renanacohen2584 Yeah, no. That's a clear violation of the spirit of the law.

@@P-Sides Wow, so you don't see the important symbolism of Ishmael and Isaac, or Jacob and Esau? How one can be a child of Abraham by blood, but not children of his promise? How those who believed the messiah at his coming inherited his promise, and became his children by faith, being adopted into the household of the everlasting king of glory? Notice that it is always the firstborn and presumptive heir who is passed over in favor of the one whom God as chosen, just as a multitude of Israelites believed themselves as chilldren of Abraham to be the presumptive heirs of his covenant, but only those whom God had moved to supernatural faith recieved his blessing. This is not alt all to say that those who were jews by blood were in anyway excluded, because Christ, Peter and the other apostles, Paul, and all the very first Christians were Jewish. It is also prophesied that after the gentiles begin to lose the faith and leave the Church (we are at about this point in the story now) that the Jews will finally convert and accept the messiah their fathers had rejected, and for this rejection were driven into a diaspora which has dwarfed all prior exiles. For the record, his name isn't "Jacob the deceiver" but Saint Israel or Jacob the Patriarch.

It keeps your mind busy so you don't have enough time to question why the fuck you're doing any of this.

The rules probably weren't originally meant to be this strict. They were probably meant to be practical rules meant to enable rest, so "carrying" probably meant carrying heavy objects. Unfortunately, religions tend to develop fundamentalist strands and lose original context, so some people ended up interpreting "carrying" to mean carrying any object, hence the use of eruvs to create "private" domains that encompass suburbs.

Free Indeed Every single old country has its share of old out-dated laws, such as public executions. It is not just religion that was insane, but pretty much everyone with power as well. However just like France no longer executes people on a whim, religious laws like those are no longer used either.

Free Indeed My nigga. “they are in the bible in the first 5 books” yeah? How does that somehow mean “you must take this 100% literally”?

I studied the talmud and the Jewish law, and I had the exact same question! But in short there are many issues with that, one being that it cannot enclose oceans..
