When Yoanna started talking about 6 genders in the Bible and the rabi stopped her saying “we’ll get to that”… well I waited… and they didn’t get to it. I was honestly curious what she was going to say.

[HealingWithFaithI]

“Her children were my mother’s revenge. Her vindication”. Such a powerful sentence

When Baruch said growing up he didn't know anyone who had a full set of grandparents, that hit hard.

I’m happy elisheva was there to represent for the large number of black jews, that is often forgotten by media. She was very well spoken and well educated in her topics and opinions. I’m happy this segment was so diverse. I look forward to seeing more videos like this.

Jess seemed to have a lot of intelligent things to say, but he had trouble articulating them. He seemed to lose his train of thought and started fumbling and stuttering, or maybe he was just stressed. It was a shame.

“…it’s hard to recognise what you don’t experience…” well said Aly!

[AstilynnC]

I love the fact that thr secular group physically showed remorse towards Elishva rasict experience! They didnt try to over apologize or atone for actions that were not theirs, they simply understand that that IS something that happens and THEY are mindful to not participate in that sort of behavior! I also enjoyed Jess' demeanor!

As a Muslim, I appreciated the Israel/Palestine question because the responses showed me that Jewish people who support Israel (1) aren't necessarily anti-Palestinian and (2) don't necessarily agree with all of the Israeli government's actions/policies. It gives me a lot of hope.

I love how the rabbi disagreed with redlining while at the same time proving it was real. The Jewish and black family being neighbors, protecting each other and having dinner together in a terrible neighborhood. He got defensive because he thought he was being called racist (at least from what I interpreted) but she was actually saying the complete opposite. The systems in place that are made to make minorities work extra hard to just be on equal footing is what she was saying. It’s so sad that he was even a victim of it, but because of his immediate need to defend his acceptance of others blinded him of it.

Respect to the guy in the grey sweatshirt that stood his ground and views on the “conflict” lmao. Respect to him for standing firm in what he beliefs.

[serenabreeze]

Elisheva was honestly the best representation I could ask for as a semi-orthodox Jew. We are meant to protect and preserve our values but have no right to judge or impose our beliefs on others.

[sambawden]

I love scrolling through jubilee middle ground comment sections because it is one of the few channels where you can find public commentary from all sides. It’s awesome to see so much engagement, even if people do take thing personally sometimes.

[ariannasantina]

i feel so bad for the lady having to deal with being a black jew- dealing with both racism and antisemitism growing up must have been hard.

[disneychec]

A “Can Christians and Orthodox Jews see eye to eye?” Would be an amazing video.

[jorges]

16:35 “Her children were my mothers revenge” that was powerful as hell and I’m not even Jewish I’m catholic but that hit, made me shed a tear Fr 🥲

[alexandria]

They should do this with Protestants vs Catholics or Orthodox Christians.

[encyklypa]

the orthodox lady’s highlighter do be slayinggg

[eri]

Catholics vs Protestants,
I’d love to be a part of this one!!

[Dokhtaremah]

"Terr*rists can come from anywhere" these are the most true words by Yoanna, I wanted to know more of Yoanna's opinions

[avivastudios]

"Terrorism can come from anywhere." Well said.
