Serge from BabkaModi isn't being racist. That's just being funny.
I posted him doing a nearly identical set of bits over a year ago. :)
Muss das sein.@serge @blumenberg interesting. I thought it was pretty boring. But I guess as an ex catholic I might lack insight to get the jokes.
Have you been to Ashkenazi shabbat dinners? Have you been to Sephardi ones? It's pretty spot on!
@serge @jnfrd I've been to ashkenazi and sephardim and what Modi describes isn't my experience at all. It's more between orthodox and conservative/liberal. Not only the duration but the passion too – at least regarding the rituals/tseremonye.
Ps. My grandfather was conservative, but coming from an (ashkenazi) orthodox shtetl community, and when he retired he became orthodox/frumm again. No erev shabbos less than 3 hours. No erev pessach less than 6 hours.
Ashkenazic VS Sephardic (1)
@serge @blumenberg interesting would be a better description.
With the exception of the Schmalz Hering. That’s funny Because it sounds German but means something different. ;)
@serge @jnfrd No, not at all. But I wouldn’t say it’s funny either. It’s interesting … and not accurate: it shows the different ritual traditions in Israel from two (religious unspecified) congregations but doesn’t reflect or mention the religious differences between Orthodox, Conservative/Masorti and Liberal /Reform Judaism – not to mention the regional differences, eg. Israel vs. Germany vs. USA vs. other regions, in the rites and traditions.
And Sephardim, like the Ashkenazim and all the other «flavors»/communities of Judaism, aren’t homogeneous, there are so many different traditions even between eg. US-Ashkenazim Conservatives and German-Ashkenazim Conservatives or Israel-Ashkenazim Conservatives … therefore the Video («Ashkenazic VS Sephardic (1)») is a simplification from a singular POV.
