suit. is going to be a good. discovery . subscribe to the documentary. i would say that we grew up in a cult and a society that runs. very similar to north korea. i keep a fine garden has left the cult as he calls it he no longer lives in an ultra

orthodox jewish community find gotten has established a new jewish life for himself in germany. it's a decision that very strictly observant jews like you. on principle. enough i'm sure live if you do not live for god but there's no kind of life out of it where you live like an animal without any sense or purpose and is it. more and more young adults choose no longer want to devote their lives to god and surprisingly many of them a trial. it's friday evening the start of the jewish day of rest and celebration. ergot. the key to find god it is a wrap on this evening he's leading pres for a very special community many of the juicy have. ultra-orthodox communities in the

united states or israel. in germany they're trying to lead their own lives attempting to establish a more relaxed relationship to god. with the help of rabbi i find out. that. all things in mission even the people who don't want to remain observant are still interested in these traditions these are targets on. earth i find god months to give a new spiritual high and a new family to those who have left it all to orthodox communities. he regularly bites people to cook and eat together for the chabad christian the community often means a loss of contact with their own family this is where vine gotten can seem everyone is welcome here. this is common in the mission for everyone is invited to come here it's a mix of x.

orthodox israelis germans liberal jews orthodox jews conservative jews non jews everyone is invited with even your. wish you we're open to everyone. isn't follow often here. as is this is traditional good filter fish. oh heck we haven't got any garlic if. i select the color of. a key to find god knows the dust the plague those who leave everything behind 6 years ago he left the docks community alone in germany he felt completely lost he hopes to spare others that experience. as a dust buster view here in berlin i lacked what we have here how can you present a shield 1000000000 defeat that's why i decided to open something myself for something. that. has become a point of contact for young people who want to break out of the strict ultra orthodox way of life that without however abandoning jewish traditions.

is. the point say that rabbi vine gotten screwed over his community is live and let live believe and let others believe. that it. was because i think it doesn't matter whether you believe in god or not and you don't have to believe in god to lead a jewish life to celebrate shabat observe religious holidays to keep our pound traditions the food the music and. i rushed upon it on the left here has only just arrived in germany it took moshe and his friend dove at least to break with their strict religious lives and with their families in israel. some a few brave. there was

a. makeshift firing i heard different there was a more player who thought it was. jerusalem not far from the city's famous. town is the world that moshe barnett has turned his back on. the ultra-orthodox district of manchuria many people here are descended from holocaust survivors they settled here after the 2nd world war. originally the members of strictly observant communities made up just a small percentage of the population in unique on the jewish state now days they account for 30 percent of jerusalem's inhabitants.

huge krauss is one of them unlike the ultra-orthodox families of moshe barnett and others he is prepared to give us a glimpse of life usually close to outsiders krausen his wife esta who doesn't want to appear before the camera live in a tiny flat 18 children their daily life is dominated by praying as in religious study this is the life that the newcomers that rabbi vine got and welcomes to germany have fled from. now but the share the meaning of life consists of serving god of the whole day every day every hour because the things that you do have a clear goal in mind are the best things of that they are also the easiest like feel as if you do not live for god there is no kind of life. we live like an animal without any sense or purpose. that every single aspect of every

day life is regulated militias checking the black insects they will be eaten and rushed hashanah he wants to avoid any impurity blemish in the start of the jewish new year. that it is. my my fear is dominated by faith and superstition. a troubled young man from the neighborhood knocks at the door the community has advised him to seek help from strauss. cross and soon remove the evil lie with the lead pouring ritual. that little bit. there. actually the. way. he notes lead in water in a pot held over the young man's head which according to tradition help in cases

like this one. it is impossible to say how many commom and that we have there in 24 hours you follow thousands of them there are $613.00 commandments laid down in the torah but there are tens of thousands of others. the ultra orthodox lifestyle led by cross has barely changed in centuries everything revolves around god the modern world the outside world is mostly with god it is a threat. to children's education is largely religious science or history do not feature on the curriculum girls and boys a married off young and are expected to have large families.

the internet is seen as a hotbed see that's why smartphones of of britain only old style cell phones are loud. i never heard of it i believe we aren't extreme it's because the world is deteriorating so quickly that they say we are extreme when. to extreme a tall i would say we are upstanding people or all the others are leaning a bit to the left or if become the general that they look down at us we're not extreme at all with the most upstanding people that exist at heart i'm a male that if. you get at it most all trolls are dogs jews initial removed from welfare payments in donations. in his wife help out in the kitchen twice a week so they can feed their 18 children. get help to build up.

their daughter's absalom to hand from an early age training for their role as housewife and mother when i grow up and that i need the key to the slaughter house wait for you there are you on your bike when it comes to the slaughter house i hope somebody is going to be there and will open up the need to pick up a chicken and give him the cane for now it will get back to you in half an hour so . life is strictly regulated according to religious commandments and traditions that are thousands of years old this gives a sense of stability to many people but a growing number of young ultra-orthodox jews are unhappy with this regimented life and feel too constrained. kraus is sure that his children will not leave the phone but what if they do. if a child of mine wanted to go out and see the world i would tell them go and see

what i can tell you now there is nothing to say. back in germany interest in where akiva find out now is a rabbi he grew up in ultra-orthodox community in new york state in then move to israel. they heli apply kulish cross. he was betrothed to the age of 19 and by the age of 22 he had 2 children. then in 2014 he decided to leave the path mapped out for him he left his family and came to germany and almost broke under the strain of the separation. in the 1st few months i was in berlin i would not stand there a window on a higher floor because i was afraid i would jump that's how hard it was. just hard to cope with the loneliness the sudden loss of the family which response those

who live by vine garden was lucky he found a new partner rosa and jarvis the rabbi of dresden students community and his family did not completely break with him. he regularly skype's with his family in new york state and lets them share his new life. there's show you our new chandelier. so i'll do the same so i'm here in. 16. i mean only 7 are here. his daughters from his 1st marriage mary and markie are also taking part in the skype call usually he travels to israel every 3 months to visit them but that's

been impossible since february due to the pandemic miria you dressed up for the shot sure i'm ready i've got myself ready who isn't ready markie no milk is ready to act the more he follows the vine gardens ex-wife still leads an ultra-orthodox life she has broken off contact with him and never takes part in the calls with the children. i think that my children are too small point to standards i do not know what they're being told by their teachers and by their mother i do know that they will grow up and they will have. the ability to choose afterwards because. another world has opened up for them and once they are in the right age we can have these conversations and they can choose where they want to be. i keep a vine dark months his children and his congregation to have

a choice. that's why he and his girlfriend rosie decided to create a program interested in berlin to help people who live all to orthodox communities . alvar on the. god of. yours there is no program like this so far but. he's being approached about this from. young men and women that left of the doxy and they see he already lives in this secular world but she keeps his in some way a sort of religiousness a sort of jewishness in within the. within the secular world that's exactly what more than it would like to achieve. victory. and. this is my father.

one of life for insistence of transistors. this is my little sister this is my nephew moshe is the eldest of 10 children the 23 year old misses his family desperately. i don't even know he's abandoned the phone he told his parents he was going to germany to study the whole descriptions. i think that's part of me not for now that part of the pleasure the good from it keep growing for. in his former life going for you just for the sake of it was inconceivable. in jerusalem he usually stayed nishida studying torah until 10 pm at night. when i grow up probably until the age of 1415 maybe it was a very clear to me of all what you do on all do exist and in the wall it's worship

of all it's all about him in every aspect in the life it's towards the ruling of the world what he wants what he wants for from you in the last year in my. soul riyadh the more open conversations between the guys on a lot of. you can call or maybe a pub or bye. bye world and i understand where it's finished. to live and to move over. i lost the connection at all. that was 2 years ago i decided to secretly leave the yeshiva regard to a state school without telling his parents he can't least me also talks world then he heard about the project in germany designed to support people like him he got in touch with rabbi find out via facebook who arranged for him to come to dressed in the summer. issue of the. house of gout.

now he's learning german along with others in the program. to run with them just think so. you really. got this 3 young child that is also mention to you. they are very low on them because they know that. it was similar but for me it's like an award from the truly long. line of coffee is passed if after. all the talk in the last is being gay and both for i don't really care here all. the trouble i find god in has who can rise to the classes he also helps moshe and

the others to find apartments and furnish them funded by private donations the tough low interest in an organization for people in need also does its best. for picking up the slack here and maybe also the off in the. other where. you know rather than what was the father. before he turned his back on all to also talks life moshe was never on his own his days was shaped by religion and the family by vine garden is now helping him to cope alone step by step for moshe being on his own has however raised many questions. just open the question say if god exists positive what it's all for me to walk through the door with or. i don't feel like religion this is part of.

the rabbi hopes to help him deal with such extension problems in particular he's encouraging moshe and the others to redefine never nation shift to religion and teaches them the torah interest and new synagogue. the ultra-orthodox god is very present in your life from him on a daily basis she cares which you put on 1st and which show you tie 1st he cares which which hand you wipe your with in the bathroom. she is very busy with your. masterbating that's one of the worst things is that. at some point he just vanished. so the closest person to me that was the viewer from the moment i was born until the moment i believe he doesn't exist just vanished all the sudden so when i lost my beliefs in that specific god that i grew up on. i had to find a reason why to wake up in the morning what to do anything. to work why to. just go

into my life i learned with time. how to you could say invent my own god or find a god i could live with. and that god has nothing to do with the ultraorthodox god. is not only that we don't believe that al gore gave us these here we believe it was written by people why is it sacred to us. it's not holy it's important and what's the difference between holy and important that one is religious and the other is cultural. i would say that we grew up in a cult and a society that run the self very similar to north korea it's very hard for people that grew up in this world to be integrated into the western society anywhere in the world. but it is

possible and fine gotten is convinced that others can do it too. but why do young jews go to germany of all places to the country responsible for the holocaust and where anti semitism is on the rise again the answer is complicated just how complicated became clear to him last september find god is on his way to multiple with the trial is being held of a man accused of attacking the synagogue in holland and 2019. being. fined gotten has come to lend his support to one of the women who survived the attack. christina feist was there when an attack unsuccessfully attempted to blast his way into the synagogue. one year on she still has not been able to process her

experience. i'm incredibly tired and worn out and exhausted i mean i've worked for it anymore. the rabbi wants to help her speak about it again in preparation for the trial if i'm right i think the most important thing to do today is. the you know. i think that. job when general is to review for people when they're invited. and. many times just being there is enough. the rabbi doesn't stray from the side of his old friend on the day of her difficult court appearance. in the trial christina finest will have to relive those terrifying hours. hours in which 2 people in the vicinity with fatally shot by the

attack on. the state prosecutor's office has charged the suspect with 2 counts of murder and $68.00 counts of attempted murder the whole trial is forcing the keeper to re-examine his relationship to germany. we have a very complicated relationship with germany in general both my grandparents one our shorts. and i think that. the general german population are not nazis and they feel terrible about what happened. and it looks like they're trying to do whatever they can to make it right with us. i personally never experience anything negative i do feel the looks from all

directions when i'm walking the streets but. looking is of course legal and i think that that is one of my goals why i walk around with a keep on the street so that people see it and get used to it that we're part of the culture or part of society and of course germany has a very big problem. is at the summit are here and they're dangerous and they want to kill us and this should be a wake up call for germany to get their house in order this cannot continue. nevertheless the rabbi firmly believes that jewish life is possible in germany and that's why his sit up as projects here. in berlin a long time friend is an example of how a fresh start in germany can succeed. to talk of a ben human right has invited the rabbi to attend to 6 edition bright was born into an ultra religious israeli family he's been living in berlin for

a living he is now jewish identity and jewish life in germany and the major themes in his work. the owner of. the. owner of the area around the. aoa was he's dedicated his latest works to the survivors of the holler attack. the live view we live as we live. and there are enough people who are also tolerant and open and often is for emails or missed there will always be extremists and my work also deals with the effects of anti semitism and this was

a bridge but i would also like to show the light radiated by the people who live here in berlin and feel good to show the good aspects as a contest to win. back interest in their new arrivals from israel. will be the 1st motion that just slips of rain in his girlfriend the new cheap talk he knows how important in particular these initial contacts are. valuable for oh i live to see 4 years ago. and i'm lucky to survive all the time because we'll you know coming this is. not really us to do

really was a low life and i guess i feel like. me that if allowed to. let me out on this today that. night and on friday you. may have. several minutes to find his own path or what he wants to achieve. it's a good place for young. people come try. you see. you can be in life easier. than the uniform. the 1st stop begins for the couple with a new apartment. that was arranged by a rabbi akiva find out. who of rumi and minucci i only know from the video calls up to now. the moustache is new for germany a very good you have

a new name yes avi or not alexander but that's ok for germany isn't it for a russian yes but my name is of rama like sound always a little bit. then the rabbi shows the new comers around tranced and he also takes them to an old cynical that he would like to bring to life again with his many of the new fathers as possible. i'm not building a new community i'm building a community. as part of the community. we need younger people here to strengthen the community here and i think that tres in is a very good place for this i think that. it's not going to be a long time to have a huge hit by a huge group of students here good. cheeks
