people always having something negative to say even in this beautufil video of a grand father dancing with the bride. what a shame! I can feel the holliness of the moment
It is amazing to watch all the absolutely foolish comments that are written on this blog. I have personally attended many of these. This is probably one of the holliest events someone can possibly attend in ones life and it is so small minded and foolish of those small ignorant thinkers who have the odasity to comment, not being fully informed! The Rebbe is not G-d! He is not Eagotistical! He is just trying to bring us closer to G-d thru his actions!
This is so creepy!! At 1st wen i saw this rebbe, i thought it was my grandfathr! i hav a vid & pix of my grandfathr in the same kind of scene! My grandfathr's holdin the gartel & dancing by my cuz's mitzvah tanz. Did i mention that my grandfathr & my cuz is skver? So it makes alot of sense! But there's 1 thing diff, my grandfathr was alittle more hunchd! May we all only hav simchos!
Does this girl have a veil covering her face, or is it just the wind blowing the layers of her veil forward? Because if her face is covered, why would it still be covered at this point (the end) of the wedding? The face veil should have come off after the chuppa.
(But I'm guessing this is an outdoor platform and it's just a breeze blowing her veil.)
Hmmm. Apparently it is a veil covering her face. I saw it on some other brides. I never saw that before, covering the bride's face for the mitzvah dance, it must be a Satmer custom.
A man is not allowed to touch a woman who isn't his wife, so rather then the father of the bride dancing in direct contact with her, they are seperated by a "gartel" or long belt.
Actually, immediate family members are permitted to touch each other, that is, the father may hold his daughter's hand. But because of the momentousness of the occasion, and the father's high office - he is a distinguished Rabbi - he chose to dance with her using the "gartel" - the traditional waist sash - as the contact between them. Some other rabbis choose to hold their daughters' hands directly during this dance, which is very moving to see because it's very unusual in the Hassidic world.
oy oy oy, there are so many misunderstnadings among our community, Hashem yishmor. I used to think they make the rebbe into a god until I read "Crossing the narrow bridge". Oy, if you only understood the meaning of how a yid is supposed to be mekushar to the tzaddik. Most mitzva tanses they dont dance this way. It's actuallly cute how he's dancing. He's a sweet little zeide. Open your hearts, get rid of that stone, my fellow yiden. where is your ahavas yisroel? have daas not ignorance!
cynical?? you tell me?? are you blind?? you dont see this rebbe slepping her around?? you dont see her keeping up with him?? blind you are. but thats ok.
right its a custom.... I'm fully aware that its a custom. a stupid custom and I love how its ok to make fun of, say lubavitch customs but this disrespect of a custom is ok and should be respected. thats just backwards.
No, she's not being shlepped. It only looks that way because the girls are inevitably extremely shy about being the center of attention and they just want that moment to be over so they can be on the sidelines again. This is very intimidating for the young brides. The father or grandfather on the other end of the "gartel", on the other hand, is obviously a very big Rebbe who has no problem at all appearing before a crowd, so they are more confident. It's very sweet, actually :).
Micklev, if it is the Mitsvah Tanz you are referring to as being "strange" while it might look and sounds strange and you (and I) might not understand the meaning of it, it is a very holy minag in the Chassidish world, and I agree with the rest of your comment about not making a rebbi, regardless of how holy he might be, into some sort of g-d and yes in New Square they make the rebbi the closest thing to it.
For everyone's info - New Square NY is where the event of the transmigration of the soul of a Jew entered into a fish in the month of Adar a few years back. It is a very holy place.
Is this comunities that keep judaism alive! would you have said that we "overcentrilized" in Moses? and the minhag is strange only to the one that know nothing about it! get an education. "Avoda zara"...my G-d what a statement....
