@zoneraw_: wtf I’m so overstimulated 😂😂😂😂😂#newyorkcity #nyc #jewishtiktok

nkoolaid :

it’s a jewish holiday- they ask everyone and if you are jewish, they will do a blessing with you. The Chabad org basically believes it’s a good deed to encourage as many jews as possible to observe holidays/follow the torah

Alida Henriksson :

They ask pretty much everyone, it doesn’t really say anything about you. It’s a religious group called Chabad, their mission is to get other jews to preform mitzvot (observe holidays, follow the law of the torah, etc). It’s sukkot right now, so they are out trying to get less religious jews to do the sukkot prayers.

Welcome. Every entrance point into New York is like a fever dream.

RM. 🦟 :

they ask every single person, it's a holiday

Caro_77 :

Orthodox Jewish individuals (typically from the Hasidic movement known as Chabad) ask people on the street if they are Jewish to invite them to perform a specific holiday commandment or mitzvah, such as shaking the lulav and etrog during the autumn harvest holiday of Sukkot (happening right now) or wrapping tefillin at other times of the year. I'm not Jewish but I tell them yes 😂 We do a little prayer and off I go.

Adela CM :

It’s Chabad! Their goal is to help other Jews fulfill as many of the commandments as possible! Right now it’s a Jewish holiday, but usually on Fridays if you’re Jewish they’ll give you candles to light for Shabbat

user3899412623109 :

They’re not supposed to determine if you ‘look’ Jewish bc Jews could look any way. There are like 4 distinct Jewish ethnic groups and you look like you could be Mizrahim

Connor :

This happens all the time on the subway. I do not look Jewish at all lol

Dreadlocks :

LKP :

I used to get stopped more (to get asked if I’m Jewish) when my hair was naturally redder.

was he holding a lemon and a huge asparagus?

GoodBadUgly :

He thought you were wearing a wig. 😁

lemonsqueezy 😺 :

He likely wanted to ask you out but he’s only allowed to date Jewish women so if he marries his children will be Jewish. I’m sure he was disappointed bc you’re beautiful! 🥰 And there are Jews who look like you: gorgeous

Indra K :

It’s Sukkot. They’re trying to share blessings with others. They do it every year.

user57816163972807 :

They ask everyone. If you are Jewish you can participate in the holiday ritual. You’ll be ok

user9672785458393 :

Yes it is quite annoying

Clicks’nClacks :

Just ignore them and any other group that harasses you about religion

CatandDog :

Happy Saber! 😃
