Jewish Holidays: Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot

[ZviJ1]

Rivka... instead of pleading with antisemites to restrain themselves which never works, why don't you delete their comments and block them or, better yet, hold up comments for approval so you can ferret them out?

As a fellow Jew I'm asking you... why do you insist on taking a non-intelligent approach to antisemites after all that history should have taught us? We should be learning and applying the lessons which would make us smarter and stronger rather than remain feeble minded and weak.

[Romeo22288]

Ur cute.

[AbuAvital]

Just keep going and ignore the bigots. 

[laughingglad]

hi it's good video...and the message at the end is very good..:)

[erra404]

@Jewgirl613 I looked this up and watched your video. It is very good.

[peraspira]

Fabulous video!

[MrBlackMamba333]

Ya people no one forces you to watch her videos! If u like them watch and enjoy, if you dont like them just go away!

[swat4hire]

Hi Rivka! Thank you for your vids!

I think u r sweet & beautiful. Its wonderful what u r doing! Dont listen 2 what those evil 1s r saying! There r people who r trying 2 learn 2 walk as Jews who weren't taught by r parents & what ur doing is wonderful!

Keep ur faith in G*d & no the day is coming when we'll b blessed & others'll be punished 4 ther unbelief & creulty.

May G*d bless u & ur family. I look forward 2 ur vids!

[airforcejew]

Your videos are not boring or anything. I find them very educational and as a Jew (converting) I find them to be helpful. They give me areas of faith to read up on and allow me to learn more. Thank YOU so much for the time and effort you put forth. I encourage you to keep on this amazing work. G-D is using you out here in Virtual World.

Shalom

Mitch

[Kalahridudex]

don't worry about the anti-semites. when you do come across one of those boneheads, just remember balaams failed attempt at cursing the jews. also remember "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;"

[Sweets509]

You such a sweet and innocent girl. Don't let someone values put you down but I must Agree you are not the real Jew the black people are to true Isrealites yes, African American you people are so called Jew. Read Deuteronomy 28 all the ch. But its good to know the truth. I'm not anti-semetic because as a black woman I am semetic I'm the origin of semetic do u know your 12 tribes, well I'm from the tribe of Levi

[Jewgirl613]

@Sweets509 What do you mean by that? I am not a real Jew, the African American people are??

[intelectualPHD]

@Jewgirl613 What Sweets509 is trying to say is that the African people believe they can trace their genealogical roots all the way back to King David, which would than be a clear trace back to the beginning of man using prophets and written scripture. As the for the unfortunate ignorance and antisemitism that has blossomed in response to your video, the Greek philosopher Plato made it all abundantly clear when he said"ignorance is not a science, it's simply a lack of intelligence". IDIOTS!!!!!

[kiril1]

@Jewgirl613, she's meaning, that she's a very stupid woman. First of all, a black doesn't mean a semitic. They are afro/ hemitic. Second, if she is so smart, and she isn't, she must know, that the term antisemitic can be adressed only to the jews, like it was meant 130 years ago. One more person,trying to take over tje jewesh identity, that's it. Almost no people of her in Israel, fortunately. A thief.

[Sweets509]

You such a sweet and innocent girl. Don't let someone values put you down but I must Agree you are not the real Jew the black people are to true Isrealites yes, African American you people are so called Jew. Read Deuteronomy 28 all the ch. But its good to know the truth.

[silentobservor]

You're awesome! Thanks for the video!

[7777Ralph]

Anti-Semitism is evil, Satanic & sad. In the video you mentioned that you pray to have your names of the book of life. I'm very concerned because the Bible is clear in Jesus' own words that there is only one way to have our names in the book of life, which is by faith in Jesus the Son of God who died on the cross for our sins. He is our Passover lamb. Please look into this and believe in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and you will be saved.

[Jewgirl613]

@7777Ralph Thanks the concern and support, but I don't believe in Jesus as the Son of G-d. And I'm sorry, but I never will. Anyway, I didn't believe in him last year either, and I'm stil alive, so I must have done something right!! :)

[Dc13542]

@Jewgirl613 I love this comment! Just had to say that lol Im Jewish too. I live in an orthodox Jewish community.... theyre sort of pushing me away.... but ur videos are great and are helping thanks! :)

[Dc13542]

@Jewgirl613 I love this comment! Just had to say that lol Im Jewish too. I live in an orthodox Jewish community.... theyre sort of pushing me away.... but ur videos are great and are helping me, thanks! :) Keep doing what ur doing :) you never know who you can touch. You're making a Kiddush Hashem with all of your videos and comments. :)

[fritzquarar]

@Jewgirl613 You are representing our People with grace and a bit of fun as well, BARUCH HASHEM. May G-d keep you safe from our enemies as you are, in my opinion, showing TIKKUN OLAM to the gentile youth as well. I'm tired and this is stated badly, just keep UP THE MITZVOT!

[peraspira]

@7777Ralph Not in the Hebrew Bible. 

[7777Ralph]

@peraspira

Indeed Jesus was prophesied in the Hebrew Bible. As I mentioned with the passover lamb, which was a foreshadowing of Christ the Lamb of God. Christ was the perfect sacrifice because Christ was sinless and perfect. That's why I wish you would read Hebrews in the NT because it would explain this, I honestly think, to your satisfaction.

Peace.

Also, Isaiah 53 (all); Zechariah 12:10; Psalms 22:1, 7-8,16-18; Psalm 118:22; Micah 5:2; Isaiah 7:14; Psalm 41:9.

[peraspira]

@7777Ralph You have a beautiful religion, but it is not the same religion as Judaism. Please respect the boundaries. Read a Jewish translation of the Hebrew (I know that you cannot read biblical Hebrew from your comments), Your Isaiah references and others are directly translated from Hebrew to read far differently than the Christian liturgy. It is an interesting scholarly study, and I do not mean to delegitimize your faith. So kindly don't delegitimize others' faith.

[7777Ralph]

"Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also." 1John 2:22-23.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that who ever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

[thelordofassholes]

@7777Ralph So on the hand you say antisemitism is satanic, on the other you call jews (or others) liars and anti-christs??! Doesn't seem to make much sense to me

[7777Ralph]

@thelordofassholes

I don't call anyone anything. I quoted the Bible. There is a difference. So to be fair let's get the quote right...

"Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also." 1John 2:22-23.

The Gosple is called the "Good News." Without Christ's death on the cross we would all perish.



[thelordofassholes]

@7777Ralph Anti-Christs to my personal acknowledgement means "enemy". So you're quoting something meaning anyone who is not a Christian is God's enemy and say "oh but it's not from me, it's just God"?

Imagine I was a muslim quoting that "before the judgement day all jews need to be killed" from the Hadiths and saying "oh that's just from God" would you accept that?

It comes across as hostile even if you don't mean it that way

[7777Ralph]

@thelordofassholes

Actually what you’re trying to do is say that because I believe Jesus is the “only way” to be reconciled back to God that, because not everyone believes in Jesus, this somehow makes me a “bad person.” I want to be clear about this. I believe the Bible from cover to cover, including where Jesus said:

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6.

Again, the Gospel means “good news.” I believe He is the Messiah.

[thelordofassholes]

@7777Ralph And obviously you're not able to realize that your beliefs are sth very subjective and that you have no proof whatsoever that you believe the right thing

You come across as very unsensitive if you don't keep that in mind.

[Shoeman9764]

TY 4 the info. I look foward to viewing more videos & learning from you. :)

[elainescolors]

your a sweet girl,Rivkah.Its so inspiring and touching to see someone so young take a stand for their Jewishness.I'm not Jewish,but I will more than gladly tell off any antisemite .The world will allways have some idiots in it,Dont worry about them,honey.G-d will always take care of the Jewish people.You are inspiring a lot of people.L Shana Tovah.Hope you haveall blessings and a wonderful New Year.

[VictorLepanto]

I used to get Rosh Hashanah off, I used to work for company owned by a Jewish man & he was always closed on Saturday & for RH. I am so sorry you have been getting harrassed by bigots. Unfortunately, given the torturred history of the Jews & the current troubles in the Middle East, any public demonstration of Jewishness will attract such attention. I wish I could tell you something to prevent it, but there is nothing.

Do you still plan to make Aliyah as you once said?

[Jewgirl613]

@VictorLepanto Yes, I do stil plan on Making aliyah, G-d willing, but in a few years from now.

[VictorLepanto]

@Jewgirl613: Well, bless you then. At your age, that would require you to go into the IDF, would it not? I hope you are physically fit, a hitch in an active military like Israel's is quite a challenge. You might be going into the most challenging time of all for Israel. Even if the IDF takes out these nuclear facilities in Iran. They will still be confronting these Hezbollah & Hamas types in Lebanon & Gaza. It seems every time Israel gets its hopes up for peace, it only gets worse.

[Excpired]

@Jewgirl613 Good luck in making Aliyah. I'm hoping to make Aliyah as well once I finish my undergraduates degree. I hope one day we can be on an internet and have Anti-Semitism be the exception and not the rule.

[ZviJ1]

@Excpired There's not much hope for this to happen as long as most Jews don't react forcefully to antisemitism, without apologies and justifications. Very few Jews screen comments for approval or at least delete such comments and ban their authors, let alone wear down antisemites by conducting protracted exchanges.

[Excpired]

@ZviJ1 Yeah. I think anyone who sees racist comments on the net should have them deleted, they have no place in public discourse. But when even universities no longer question Jew-hatred its kind of difficult to combat it all. I say delete the comments, and then ignore them. They are fueled by hate, debate isn't going to wear them down I've tried many times they live in a bubble of lies. They come on the internet to vent that hate in a place they feel safe from retribution.

[DestinyOutreach]

Thank you for sharing. Very interesting!

[dixon9990]

Hmmm Rivka.. I agree with the bad comments about u.. that they are unfair and stuff..

But about jews I'm sorry but being unfair with them is being fair.. because they are unfair with others..

Thanks

[mem1403]

YOU R KILLERS FOR GOD SAKE YOU KILLED MOST OF THE CHILDREN IN GAZA

AND YET YOU HAD A GOT TIME IN ISRAEL

[lakewoodg5]

Rivka You ROCK..... Totally

[sarabeth1410]

jews rule, some haters just can't handle that :)

[uroshjovan]

hehe.. u know what they say about arguing over the internet: It's like compeeting in special olympics. No matther who wins you're still a retard.

And those antsemites are just that; retards.

[ravia1988]

You went to Israel for the High Holidays! Lucky girl! I miss Israel! I wanna go and visit my safta again next year!

[150psalm]

im christian.. and ur adorable.<3 shalom. xoxox

[yingdiskette]

Interesting. You claim people are leaving anti-semitic comments yet some of you call yourselves "white". Could you explain to me, what is a Semite and why do you people call yourselves white in this country? Thank you.

[ih8chemistry]

omgg. this is so inspiring . all of these!

you are my role model!

[Jewgirl613]

@ih8chemistry aww thanks!!! ^_^

[Yam3awaaD]

u were in the (occupied Palestine) and it will be back soon to the poor Palestinian people

[WJKPrimsy]

@Yam3awaaD Why is that?

[ravia1988]

@Yam3awaaD Yes and you should get a life.

[windycityguy]

@chevymadman5 "i didnt realize till the end she asks not to leave bad comments" <-- that's because you lack either common sense or a moral compass, or both

[00MORDRED]

your brave to go there!!! 5***** for that alone!

:o)

[Jewgirl613]

@00MORDRED brave for going to Israel? not at all -- I feel safest when I'm there. knowing that I'm in my country, my Jewish homeland, where G-d is closest to me and I'm where I belong.

[KingB704]

are ppl who convert to judaism fully accepted? im curious

[Jewgirl613]

@KingB704 yes, very much so. In fact, there are commandments to be extra nice, helpful, and hospitable to them :)

[NICKFROMESSEX]

Hi Cool video As I said in my last comment don't even reply to racists or the haters as most people call them on Youtube. I always respect people for their personality and how they treat you. not where there from or what they belief. I still request a Jewish Music video Please as your newest subcriber .you know you don't have to but it would be nice to hear some real jewish music . wedding music to traditional if possible. Thank you

Best wishes

Nick from U.K

[Alexrockstheboat]

My gosh girl you are so pretty!!! I'm a roman catholic myself but have no prejudice whatsoever. I love seeing somebody so proud of their religion and culture. Ignore the negativity and continue the path your following

[Jewgirl613]

@Alexrockstheboat thank you so much! I'm glad you aren't prejudiced and are encouraging my beliefs even though they differ from your own =D

[Elinitsam]

Rivka, I'm not a fan of the Zionist State (based on the government). I dislike the majority of Jews based on their politics. I dislike how small numbers of them  are highly influential as they control and manipulate the world through banking, technology, military power, the press, media, etc. There is a positive side to the Jews as well. They are thoughtful and more conversational people. They also seem to care and be more involved in their own people as opposed to others.

[thelordofassholes]

@Elinitsam And other groups do not "control" institutions nor do you have any proofs for what you say?? Sorry, but your comment is highly stupid

[ravia1988]

@chevymadman5 Why should you have to wait until someone asks you not to do something to realise its wrong? If you have more than half a brain you realise you're doing the wrong thing before hand.

[bmwslider]

@wwintelligencer

The fact that you refer to yourself as someone who is knowledgable and open your mouth is disgustingly horrifying. Rivka, don't let these fools disturb you. Ain't a dang thing wrong with what you do, or being Orthodox. Keep up the good work. אני מניח שזה עוזר לפעמים יש בשפה שלך לעשות כיף של שוטים ב, הא? במאי "הוא" יברך אותך ואת כל הזמן אתה בטוח שלום

[wwintelligencer]

no wonder the jewish community bashes european women in hollywood with their thousands of satanic tabloid magazines

their own women, are disgustingly horrifying

[ATouchOfMagic88]

@wwintelligencer we are not digusting you racist, also if you don't have anything nice to say about rivka or her video's then don't comment at all =\

[itayish]

i enjoyed the video but i have to ask: is there anti-semitism where you live that you felt that you had to say what you said?

[loslonelygirls]

@itayish....Probably not where she lives but here on the internet there are a massive amount of anti-semite trolls.

She gets alot of anti-semitic comments on her other vids.

[MrArkadiusz1985]

wow... i really like u Rivka

[ChristoEtEcclesiae]

Hey there!

I'm currently getting a Master's in Catholic Theology and I have an exam on Judaism coming up, so I did some audio research and thought yours was actually the nicest explination of Jewish holidays. Thanks for posting this. Really helped me! :-)

Sorry that other people have to leave nasty anti-semitic comments!!! I certainly recognize it as the heritage of my religion. God bless!!!

[inchargeof88]

Hi - I came across your video & I don't know the first thing about Judaism. I found it very interesting - thanks for the insight. I'm a moderate Christian from Austria (originally) - we've got plenty of haters there sadly - but plenty of others too, like me.

I know what you mean - some people just spew negativity & intolerance - I actually feel sorry for them that they can't find anything productive to do with their time - and lives.

It's best to get to know each other - keep up the good work!

[kootzyyy]

are you israeli or something? you have this accent...

[Jewgirl613]

i have an american accent....?

[yodakevich]

I think you're absolutely beautiful<333 And you have soo much purity.

[Warmsummerwind9]

The haters are insecure within themselves, so they look for someone else to hate, because they can't face themselves. Keep making the videos!!!

[ATouchOfMagic88]

i love this video! your a beautiful girl with beautiful hair don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

- Shalom

[HindiPlaylist]

The Lord be with you

Ruth 2:4

also for you

[hadassa25]

Jews are the best!!! Shavua tov!

[ibnuibrani]

Hey, Rivka, I'm so impressed that you do blog about being a Jewish girl and stuff (like being a shomer negiah, so kewl) on youtube...

Achot sheli, dun ever let those hatred comments step you down.

I pray may your emunah be strengthened through out the time. I love my brothers and sisters, who are proud of themselves and try to explain about our heritage in so many ways to the people outside there, that we're just ordinary guys.

Yashar Koach and Shabbat Shalom ~

[Jewgirl613]

Thanks so much!!!!

[PaulVonHindenberg]

Death to the haters, wow your hair is so long.Your Sooooo sweet

Also 1st!
