I know we have to be dan lakav z’chus and make believe that this guy is not Jewish, but due to the fact that the West Indian Day Parade took place in Crown heights on Eastern Parkway, the chances of him being Jewish are pretty high. Either way, I thought this was one of the funniest videos I have seen in some time.
The chances are that he’s Jewish, if he’s chabad someone knows him, he tucked his tzitzis in and wore a baseball hat. I was riding around the parade area on Sunday morning and saw plenty of Chabad folks watching, how common is it for some guy with a beard, white shirt black pants to happen to be hanging around Crown Heights, on a weekday it would be more believable due to the workday.
Someone already told me his beard doesn’t look chabad…
Stop coasting in the status quo. Move forward with ego.com

OMG. I am too embarrassed to watch this…but I can’t look away!!!
Mozo September 10, 2009 at 12:28 pm
The man also looks certifiably NUTS. He probably is a Chabadnik, but not the good, Mitzvoim doling out ones. More like a crazed loner with several diagnoses of mental illnesses that are left untreated due to the fact that he ahas no job and cannot afford treatment.
Hard Harry September 10, 2009 at 12:32 pm
LOLOL this is a riot! I gotta pass it on to my chabad friends…

He does not look so normal to begin with…
Aliza Hausman September 10, 2009 at 12:45 pm
Ah man, it’s stuff like this that made me give up mixed dancing. I’m Dominican and ever since Reggaeton was created, too much of the dancing just looks like stripper pole dancing or the mimicking of sex acts.

…ONCE AGAIN, HESHY SHOWS THE WORLD, NOT ONLY THAT HE IS A SICK DEPRAVED INDIVIDUAL, BUT THAT HE COULD NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT SPREADING LASHON HARAH ETC.
HE PRETENDS AT TIMES THAT HIS BLOG HELPS JEW ACROSS THE WORLD, BUT I CANT SEE HOW THIS HELPS.

The Truth September 13, 2009 at 9:51 pm
Thats exactly what I thought!!!
If he is Jewish or not, either way, he is a little ‘off the derech’. Posting this video wont change anything – just giveing us a little to laugh about.
Flash September 10, 2009 at 1:18 pm
No way he was religious, by the time it was all over his shirt was out of his pants (I am not going there !!!!) but I did not see any tzitzis. No way you can dance like that, without showing tzitzis.
Heshy Fried September 10, 2009 at 1:25 pm
He wasn’t doing anything, they were doing all the work
brad September 10, 2009 at 1:47 pm
you shouldnt keep it up you dont want that on your head if you ruin a jewish marriage

LOL….too much!!! Gotta show this to my friends from St. Vincent (that’s the flag that some of the chicks were wearing).
you blame heshy? September 10, 2009 at 2:41 pm
seriously brad, you think that by heshy posting this video HE is ruining a jewish marriage?!?!?!?
FrumGer September 10, 2009 at 2:52 pm
He had on no tallis kattan his shirt was thin and you could see it was shirt and skin and i believe he was NOT jewish. most older people wear button ups and dress pants..white pants and black shirt is worn by all not just frum jew, maybe he was amish. either way this man was a goy. if he was jewish he had mental problems and needs a mishebrach not lashon hora!!
TAKE THIS VIDEO DOWN NOW!!!!
RIGHT NOW- IM SERIOUS
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT HESHY
TAKE IT DOWN
Its wrong you do not know this man, even if he is doing wrong you do not do this… you have no right to make fun of someones weakness or mental challenges also it make chabadniks and other Frumniks look like hypocrites when you say he is a jew if he is not. or if he is a jew and acting like that.
any way you slice it you might as well go out and eat a big ham sandwich with cheese because right now you are doing the same thing.
TAKE IT DOWN!!!!!

He actually reminds me of Charlie from 770 without the buttons.

FrumCurious September 10, 2009 at 3:54 pm
This made my jaw drop, really only because this crusty old dude is dancing with this girl. Look at that ass! Eek.
“…maybe he was amish…” Generally speaking, that’s wrong. Amish guys (at least where *I* live) don’t have a mustache to go with the beard, and they wear suspenders and buttons on their pants (ziipper are worldly).
BUT KEEP IT MIND, that’s just the usual standard, as we see from this video, not all follow the rules.
And boo hoo, someone’s getting caught doing things they aren’t supposed to do, and then you question Heshy’s observance (“might as well go out and eat a big ham sandwich with cheese”) because it’s POSSIBLE [I'm saying possible] he’s telling the truth and calling someone out? Take the veil off, we all do things we aren’t supposed to do.
Hot Chani (Shwartzstein) September 10, 2009 at 3:55 pm
That’s some serious pretend shtupping!
Tevye September 10, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I agree with FrumGer… take it down Hesh, please.
I have to say that I will never again visit this blog if this isn’t taken off of here. If this was certifiably a Jewish man, then it would be true and sad. However, it can’t be proven and therefore it is horribly disgraceful for you to do this.
On par with holocaust humor/jokes if you ask me. Because this sort of slander is what caused anti-semitism to grow so much that Hitler felt justified in his acts.
@FrumCurious, it isn’t a matter of “someone getting caught” but rather Hesh possibly calling “an apple an orange.” If this man isn’t a Jew, then why is he being presented as being so? Its a horrible injustice.
FrumGer September 10, 2009 at 4:29 pm
i realize that man is not amish i am just stating a white shirt and black pants are not exclusively frum.. his beard had nothing to do with it…
and the term would not be “worldly”
it would be considered- english.
He is not a jew, i have met a thousand goyim that look the part. he looks like anyone you would see at the local VFW.
bottom line he is not wearing tallis katan.

Crown heights has turned over a new leaf. No longer will Chabadniks and black people fight, instead they will make love.
FrumCurious September 10, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Quite being contrary, worldly and english’s meanings coincide in this situation. I grew up in amish country, trust me I know.
It’s also possible he could be old order mennonite, but that’s getting too analytical. Bahaha.
A23 September 10, 2009 at 6:03 pm
I will have to agree that this post should be taken down. The video itself is not a chilul, as I don’t think he is frum, but your post gives too much credence to the chance that might be frum.
Anonymous September 10, 2009 at 6:04 pm
I don’t know how to quote, but justme said “That’s my dad”. I’m pretty sure he’s joking, but this guy IS somebody’s father, brother, uncle, etc.
If he’s Jewish, then yes, he did make a mistake by dancing inappropriately with her, but it is not right for you to shame his children or grandchildren by posting this video for the frum world to see.
Sarabonne September 10, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Well, that’s depressing.
Yochanan September 10, 2009 at 7:44 pm
Glad he fulfilled the Mitzva of wearing TZitzit.
Yochanan September 10, 2009 at 7:47 pm
On second thought, maybe those weren’t TZitzit that I saw.
Nevertheless looks like a disgusting culture. I personally have no problems with mixed dancing. But it basically looks like they’re having sex in public!
avrahamct September 10, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Heshy’s title, “Frum looking man caught on tape…,” exposes a real flaw in his thinking process. Because this man LOOKS frum, he must BE frum. That’s just like saying someone looks Jewish. What does that mean? Long nose, black curly hair, all the other stereotypes that anti-semites played off of to convince others to hate yidden? Now Heshy is applying the same strategy of identifying people by the way they look rather than investigating to see who they actually are. To quote Anonymous (28), “this guy IS somebody’s father, brother, uncle, etc.” Just because he looks frum he is subject to a whole new level of criticism. What if someone read this post and then happened to see him, or someone like him come into his office or shop. Would his treatment in his shop or office of the man in the video, or a man who looks like the man in the video, be different because of this post? It is very well likely. I have to follow the consensus and tell Heshy to take the post down.
Yochanan September 10, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Jewish or not, he’s a creepy old man.
Phil September 10, 2009 at 8:28 pm
I don’t see why so many of you are jumping down Hesh’s throat. The could very well be Jewish, after all he’s in NYC, has a full beard and a covered head. His Tzitzis might be tucked in.
Then again, he could be a biker, except that he would be wearing leather.
Either way, he does look Jewish, this site is about Jewish / frum related satire and comedy, so the video definitely fits in with this blogs theme.
If the guy in the clip is a frum Jew, he should have thought of that before doing what he did. If he isn’t, he didn’t do anything wrong and should be proud of himself.

Talia September 10, 2009 at 10:34 pm
I think that chicky went a little overboard on the dancing. I agree, Aliza, it’s a little much. I like to swing dance and tango but rubbing my butt all over a guy isn’t my idea of dancing.
Dude has some issues. I mean, come on! If you are going to go off the derech, don’t do it in CH!! haha!
And to the peeps who want it to come down, i get what you are saying but go call the person who posted it on YouTube where it’s gotten 700 hits. YouTube has a much bigger viewership that FS… sorry, Hesh!
G*3 September 11, 2009 at 12:04 am
> Tevye – On par with holocaust humor/jokes if you ask me. Because this sort of slander is what caused anti-semitism to grow so much that Hitler felt justified in his acts.
Don’t be ridiculous. No one outside the Orthodox world cares in the slightest if an elderly Jewish man dances with some girls at a parade. If anything, they probably think its cute. Look at the title on the video. It says “Cultural Collision,” not “Dirty Jews dancing with our women.”
All of you who think this is terrible and shameful and a chilul Hashem: NOBODY cares. If it had been a West Indian guy dancing with that girl, it wouldn’t even be interesting.
A. Nuran September 11, 2009 at 12:22 am
Couldn’t be Amish. The Amish started off with a tiny gene pool and haven’t let it grow in several hundred years. They all look pretty much like clones of each other.

IT’S A BUSHA TO KLAL YISRAEL THAT A MAN SHOULD GO AROUND WITHOUT PEYOS OR TZITZIS DURING CHOIDESH ELUL AND DANCING WITH SHIKSAS WHICH IN THIS CASE WAS PRACTICALLY ARAYOS!
WHAT IF THIS MAN WAS YOUR FATHER, R”L?
WHOSE FATHER WOULD CUT THEIR PEYOS AND REMOVE THEIR TZITZIS, THEREBY EMBARRASSING THEIR ENTIRE FAMILY, AND WHAT KIND OF SON WOULD LET HIS FATHER SHAVE HIS PEYOS IN THE FIRST PLACE? WHAT ARE WE COMING TO!
WHEN OUR MECHANCHIM ARE ACTING IN SUCH A DISAPPOINTING WAY, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THE NEXT GENERATION?

I totally have seen that guy in front of 770. He’s definitely frum, but probably not married.
Sergey Kadinsky September 11, 2009 at 10:58 am
Heshy, perhaps this is lashon hara, and the high Holidays are just around the corner.
But I’ll take this video as a lesson that even the most frum-looking individuals can stray. They are as normal as the “Moderns.” But we should all strive in the same direction- away from the tattoo-covered half-nude revelers.
one final snipe, maybe he was admiring the artistic qualities of her “tramp stamp” lower back tattoo.
Sergey Kadinsky September 11, 2009 at 11:05 am
He could be admiring the artistic merits of her tramp stamp lower back tattoo.
Seriously, the High Holy Days are just around the corner. If that means anything to Frumsatire.
Tevye September 11, 2009 at 12:01 pm
FrumGer,
Shoot me some mail (www.facebook.com/tevyesalstrand)… I had your back for a while, but I’m off this blog now. Hesh said it himself– he’s not taking it down.
Respect to the frummies that have an open mind enough to participate in this blog, and greater respect to those that also speak out against this mislabeled video… HE IS NOT A JEW!!!
UuFrumGer September 11, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Frum, not frum! Jewish not Jewish! This old fart invaded my dreams last nite! He kept asking me if I was a nice Jewish boy and if I had wrapped Tefflin yet today. All this while repeatedly grinding his danger zone into my tuchus.
Dude it was the best dream I’ve had in like forver!!!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK HESH!!!
Oh and don’t tell my wife!
chezkel September 11, 2009 at 12:48 pm
Tevye,
“HE IS NOT A JEW”
I am totally sure he is a Jew, I have seen him collecting in front of 770 (the main Lubavich shul) many times. If you don’t believe me you can go to 770 and see for yourself. Anyway, even if you don’t believe me you don’t know that he’s not a jew, so you are a liar to say so.
chezkel September 11, 2009 at 12:49 pm
thats 770 eastern parkway, btw, just in case you want to see.
Partyjew September 11, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Wow. People are getting way too worked up over this.
1) The video was on Youtube. Contrary to popular belief (apparently), the readership of Youtube is larger than that of this website, and includes a few non-jews. This website, on the other hand, includes mostly Jews. So, Heshy taking the youtube video and discussing it here is not creating any massive chilul hashem.
2) Outside of the Orthojew world, this video is not shocking or worthy of mention. No one else would have a problem with what the dude was doing except Ortho Jews.
3) As always in the Ortho community, the person talking about the behavior is to blame, not the behavior. If you worried about community approval, dont grind on a woman in the streets on Brooklyn during the day. Its really that simple. But instead, the Orthos like to blame the person talking. Molesters arent the problem, its the people who blog about them that are. Wake up and smell the F-ing coffee. Transparency only helps. More pictures of Hasidim busted for porn and prostitution and molesting will help those communities realize and deal with the problem. We are not properly policing our selves, and we can use a but of shame to get our people in line.
This is not that offensive. Everyone needs to grow up. Seriously.
Yaffa September 11, 2009 at 4:10 pm

Yeah, I don’t see why people are mad at Hesh for putting it up. If you want to pretend everything is perfect in your world, stay off the Internet. Read the Hamodia. My personal advice.
To give the guy credit, my understanding is that that is how dancing is done nowadays in Caribbean circles. It’s not meant to be sexual, but it looks very sexual. So I don’t think the girl was even being such a slut–that’s just how dancing is done nowadays.
What War Zone??? September 12, 2009 at 7:03 am
Agree with partyjew above. Posting a video isn’t the shameful act, it’s shedding light on the shameful act (just read that in my book this morning…)
Don’t shoot the messenger. Then again, what do I know? I’m not frum.

offthederech September 12, 2009 at 8:13 pm

eli April 25, 2010 at 3:49 pm
I believe he wanted to go with her where noone sees. But it seems that she made him feel orgazma right there and then. He was taken by surprise and as you can see how she and her friends literally made a fool out of him.
eli April 25, 2010 at 3:57 pm
I was able to see he regreted it, as soon as he so-to-say ‘finished’ with her, and didn’t walk away cause he didnt want her to be able to tell that he did something wrong… It looks like hes a good man that fell once. Teshuvah means that a person is born every second over again. Lets give him another chance he looks very sad and sorry together. We all need to do teshuvah-otherwise we wouldnt be here on this earth all-together. Whan you daven Shemone-Esre plead to hashem to forgive us for our lost brother. Remember: “Kol Yisrael Areivim Ze Laze”

Thats all untill the age of 20!(!) I hope that lets you understand who i am, and that I in general do not talk about things i dont know. You can depend on what i say…(P.S.

Eli you’re a jerk. So what if you learned with some r/y or something? Does it make you a better jew? Any way we have to be dan lekaf zechus about the man if hes a jew, and thats my concern. People should take the video down cause it’s pritzus, and MOVE ON WITH YOU’RE LIFE!!!!!
