"How I Left The Anti-Zionist Hasidic Community" | Frieda Vizel

❤❤❤ love her videos👌

I’ve known of this faction since my first visit to Mea Sharim. Rather appropriate, isn’t it? Let me share what else life in Israel has taught me . . .
A tour in Lebanon really clarified things. There, every village has its’ own religious leader, and every such leader is careful to find some tiny difference between his “correct” understanding and the “errors” of his counterpart in the village down the road. I saw that a lot of what we think of as “theology” and “tradition” were but artificial creations designed simply to protect the local leader and his claim to power.
The better I came to understand the more “devout” groups, the harder it became for me to separate them from the Iranian Mullahs. The more “devout,” the less tolerance for independence, creativity, and variation. The more devout, the more autocratic were those in leadership roles. Small wonder the early Zionists were eager to leave the Pale, to distance themselves from Talmud and instead embrace Josephus.
Perhaps it is this yearning for knowledge, this need to think freely, that has driven Jews of all stripes to excel in the more intellectual professions. Perhaps the desire to free yourself from dependence on the Rebbe is what motivates Jews in their drive for financial independence.

Remember, we are all born into a religion ❤

Lots of love ❤❤❤❤❤

The Torah is light. The Tenach and New Testament are an extension of it.

Great interview. Thank you. I understand why some religious Jews were leery of Zionism. Not only was it originally a secular movement, but it was also encouraged by many antisemitics whose main motivation was that they did not want to give Jewish refugees a home in their own countries. I'd have been cautious.

Love you...but why was it important to say and after I got married " in an arranged marriage"?

It is great seeing you interviewed instead of the other way around..you are a very interesting person😊

Zionists don't have to be colonizers (and calling European Jews 2000 years removed from the Levant, colonizers isn't antisemitic, just stating a fact). Zionists could have allowed universal suffrage/ citizenship for all people's from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea regardless of religion. They actively engage in religious supremacy where Jews have all the rights but Christians and Muslims have some or no rights depending on where their families ended up after 1948 and 1967. This isn't to say all Jews are responsible for this apartheid system of land theft, but zionism is essentially a Jihad done in the name of Judaism that breaks commandments of though shall not steal, covet and kill, while also claiming God granted that land for Jews. It's highly contradictory, especially when you consider it's another form of race science that places Jewish people as a higher caste above Palestinians of all religions (please also note, being Palestinian or Arab Isn't a religious distinction, there are many Jews that are Palestinian and Arab even if they've lost that identity due to the zionist project. ) the only real answer for peace and prosperity in the Levant is one democratic secular state with equal rights for all religions, where the prime minister can be of any faith. It won't be easy, but there are models for this, like the end of apartheid in south Africa and the passage of the Civil rights act to end Jim crow in America. When things are done in your name, whether fair or not, it is upon said community to correct those wrongs, the way it was on Germans to correct their nazi past or American and south African white people to end white supremacy, or Muslims to speak out against extremism in their midst, or hindus to speak out against hindu nationalism in India, or my fellow Americans to speak out about the endless wars our country engages in. This is an important distinction that must be addressed and understood.

This was very good, there are a lot of us out here that love Frieda.

It's equally as valid to make the argument that events like the inquisition and holocaust happened because Jews rejected going back to Israel, a gift from God, and this was the result. Much of the arguments made against, reminds me of the allegory of the row boat. If God sends you a boat, you actually have to take it.

Haters Hate the Truth, the Facts and the Light!

99.9% of People Live Their Lives on a Default Setting!

A question for Zionistic people, and those not. Why is G-d putting our people into the current situation? Israel is really the first time Jews had to defend themselves. After thousands of years of taking the most abominable behaviors from both Europeans and Middle Eastern societies, maybe we were meant to learn how to not just have pride in ourselves, but to physically defend us, which doesn't happen without G-d's help. Maybe part of the Moshiach time is to get past our being intimidated for too long, too much. May we soon see the ultimate redemption.

Making a speech instead of giving an answer is called FILLIBUSTERING!

A "Sabra energy"....😅😅😅😅
SO TRUE!! In any group!

How comes than J. Tetelbaum accepted to be saved from the holocaust by zionists bribing the nazis, while exorting all his followers to stay away from zionist help?

Thank you for this interview. How did the Rabbi explain all the atrocities that happened to the jewish people (the inqusition, the pogroms, etc.) way before zionism was born?

2nd comment: The connection of being Jewish is cultural but more importantly that the Jews are God’s chosen people! Frieda-you are so eloquent, deep, and thoughtful. You said that you were not a good student, but you are a bright adult. Keep searching, reading, researching. You belong to God. Praise Him! ❤

Let me start by saying that I love all of Frieda’s videos and find her very interesting. Learning so much from her and now from you. Frieda’s comment that the Jews angered God and that God then went back on His promise is interesting. The Armenians suffered genocides by the Ottoman Turks, the main one in 1915 when 1.5 million were massacred. As documented by Henry Morgenthau, Hitler said (sic=said in context) no one will remember the Armenians when I get done with the Jews. Horrible!!! The only way I can accept that the Armenians and Jews were massacred is the result that both groups were then dispersed around the World, increasing their presence and faiths. Hard to explain what I’m really feeling, but God is Good, God is GREAT. He had and has a plan. He was, He is, and He is to come. ❤

i am anti-nazi therefore i am anti-zionist.

“ interesting” that the Jews that went to Israel to live , hence breaking the promise , survived and the Jews who stayed in Romania , Hungary et Al were the Jews who were punished and murdered. Kind of like your neighbor breaks the law, but you are the one who gets arrested for their crime.

Frieda is such a treasure 💜

Misleading thumbnail. She never gave a Jewish reasoning for not being Anti-Zionist.

מציע לך לקרוא קצת על העולם החרדי (גם בארץ וגם בעולם).
אם היית עושה טיפה הכנה לראיון הזה היית יודע שסאטמר זו החסידות הכי גדולה בקרב החרדים בארה"ב.
הם די מיינסטרים ביחס לאוכלוסייה החרדית שם.
ככה שלקרוא להם כת או משהו כזה, ממש לא מתאים בקונטקסט של מה שאתם מדברים עליו.
ניכר שלא עשית 'שיעורי בית' לפני חח

Frieda is great❤

Great discussion. Thank you both for sharing! I follow Frieda on here and watch all of her videos. I love to hear more about her personal story which she doesn't discuss much on her own channel.

Everyone who has looked into this knows that Israel are colonizers. Who else destroys land, people, olive trees in such a way than colonisers.

Anti-semitism has been weaponised by the racist, genocidal Zionist death cult

just ask Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro

Head shaving is unbiblical for women. Hair is the glory of women according to Old and New Testaments. Frieda was likely reacting in her conscience to a man-made tradition. Literally man, I.e., male-made. Ditto for no birth control.

Frieda is the Best! As an evangelical I know the Messiah has come. I love the Jewish people as a whole and I deeply respect the Hasidim.

Frieda. I think that it is lovely the way you talk with such loving kindness about the Satmar Community. We learn so much from you. Good Shabbos. Thank You. Bill. Uk

I actually read an interview of the yeminte person who had the honor to hang Eichman ימח שמו. He said in his interviews that when he boarded the airplane he really thought he's boarding the eagle that will take him to the bais hamikdash.

@Frieda Vizel As a very new, yet very dedicated subscriber of your channel, I had no idea of the disparaging comments on your video presentations. How shameful and cruel— however, it occurred to me that these could be fake accounts made to “spam” the comments section. I’ve heard of that before.
I’m so glad these haven’t discouraged you from creating content, as I am so enjoying working my way through your videos and looking forward to more.
Thank you both for such an interesting conversation! Much love and appreciation.❤ 😊

Who is the interviewer?

Thank you for this delightful interview! I am so glad to have heard Frieda interviewed . She is such a humble, kind and informative lady. I love her podcasts.

What an interesting interview. Hreat to see Frieda being the interviewee for a change! ❤

I am a Christian, I love the Jewish people, and I also get very touched hearing and singing HaTikvah.
G*d has by no means forgotten Israel, or the promises to His people. He will fulfill everything when Mashiach returns.

you should interview rabbi yaakov shapiro about religious antizionism. and if you want the neturei karta perspective, rabbi yisroel dovid weiss is the man!

Greetings to Frieda!
Great to watch this video.
Definitely the most personal and intense video.

I watch Freida‘s videos all the time. It is so wonderful to hear such a different perspective of her thank you, Frieda.

I'm confused why Hebrew is seen as unkisher? If she can explain.

She looks younger in white .
Illusion ?

Frieda reminds me very much of a friend of mine who was a Catholic nun for 35 years from age 17 before she left the order and married a priest she had known for many years. She didn't leave behind her Catholic beliefs but was shunned by many of her extended family and home town after she left the religious order. She had many good years with the love of her life until his death and now lives alone in a village where she has many close friends.
Life presents us all with choices. We need to do what is best for us and be willing to leave behind anything which restricts us.

יש גם קהילות סטמאר בארץ. במושבה יבנאל יש קהילה גדולה.

I love Frieda’s videos and always thought I wish I could hear her interview herself. You did a great job, my only wish is this was an hour longer!

Zionism is the greatest evil in the world.
