***TURN ON CC FOR TRANSLATION FROM YIDDISH**

The lovely League for Yiddish had me on for a segment in Yiddish. We talked about my childhood in Kiryas Joel, about not fitting into this world, about becoming a tour guide and I also showed the camera several special Hasidic toys. I am posting a short excerpt with translations.

In this little part, we discuss socio-religious Hasidic diversity in Williamsbug, Brooklyn, and how different head coverings signify different degrees of piety by community standards. Of course this doesn't reflect on the individual's personal religious journey per se, but different head coverings do carry symbolisms of more or less "pious", or "conservative".

If you enjoy it, make sure to have a look at the whole segment on League for Yiddish and Eli Benedict's work. Also, stay tuned for a very special episode on my channel with Eli.
