Trump to visit my spot in Hasidic Williamsburg tomorrow 9/19

A livestream discussion about the big brouhaha about Trump possibly visiting Williamsburg tomorrow

You are a blessing to me. I appreciate your ability to be kind and accepting of diverse opinions. Please keep teaching us all. ❤️

Frieda, You set a good example for the rest of us. I think we should always keep an open mind on everything. Otherwise we can’t learn, we can’t change, we can’t grow, and we can’t understand others. You do you and I’ll keep tuning in!!!

Thank you Frieda, for being the voice of sanity in such an insane time! It never fails to amuse me, how the people who claim to be the most “tolerant” happen to be the LEAST tolerant, whereas the REAL tolerant people are the ones who do not make everything about politics, and can live peacefully and make friends with people they do not necessarily agree with.

I grew up in Williamsburg and still have roots in the community. I remember when the Democratic candidate Robert Kennedy came to the old Satmar Rebbe on Bedford Avenue for his blessing. It was the highlight of my youth. The community has changed even though they enjoy the social incentives of the Democratic Party.

I love listening to you, Frieda. I will not unfollow you❤❤. Thank you for every episode!!

I'm also fascinated by the stories and perspectives of the regular, everyday, ordinary person, so just another reason I love your channel. And I admire your willingness to explore divisive and complex issues and the sensitive and sophisticated way you approach them. You don't run away from anything!

[SimplyGobsmacked]

I love this channel. Thank you for helping me understand a community I wouldn't know otherwise.

We all have our opinions. Fortunately we have the freedom to express ourselves in a peaceful way. Here is what I have to say. It is nice to have presidential or politcal candidates visit the Jewish communities. It is truly sad that an individual who led a coup is even allowed to run for the highest political office of the USA. All Trump is interested in are the votes to stay out of prison. What he said about Charlottesville is all you need to know where Trump's mind is and has been for many years As a Jew I was greatly offended.. His hatred towards the Black community well documented that involved renting apartments. Let us not forget his grand entrance prior to the 2016 presidential election where he berated a majority of immigrants coming through Mexico.

You are a breath of fresh air during what has become such a divisive time. Thank you for your openness. Your approach to the current political firestorm is similar to mine. I respect differences of opinion and belief. My husband and I recently told someone that we maintain a neutral position during political discussions because we have friends and family with very different political beliefs. The response we received was a political rant. I think that person missed our point. Anyway, I will be very interested in hearing more about tomorrow's possible visit. I'm so sorry to have missed your livestream!!

Nice conversation. I didn't see this livestream until after I watched your other one from today...Sept. 19th. So going in I already knew that the event was going to be cancelled...So in that sense it was a little strange, but I wanted to hear your discussion around the anticipation of this event in your hisidic community.

I really appreciate how you are able to listen to such diverse opinions without going off tilt. I purposefully withhold my opinions when I'm around others who are very opposite to what I think or believe bc I'm still needing control and respect! Lol 😂 this is STILL really hard for me. I'm working on it. But I find that listening to and watching people like you model this and put it before my eyes...then I'm more able to do it myself. I grew up in a very loud opinionated home, and thus learned A LOT of bad habits. These die hard!

Thanks for being so open and honest with how you present yourself. I really do appreciate your authinticity.

You are so fair, balanced and smart. I have learned so much following you. Forget the trolls and the mean people, keep doing EVERYTHING you have been doing and reporting.on

[vickiepodell]

I’m am pro Israel AND I am repulsed and horrified by Trump. Fortunately, in this country we are allowed to have open discussion.

[thomaswebb]

The algorithm has kept you out of my feed for a while, but right when i need you, you're back!! My mind is in a tough place with the world, but you have provided your knowledge to us, which helps ease it a little. Thank you!

[gcolwill]

Looking forward to seeing videos related to the visit, if it occurs. Good luck!

[tashak.]

I always enjoy your content and I feel you’re taking a very mature and balanced attitude towards the visit from someone who is considered a very polarizing figure. Respect from Canada.

[lynnbrown]

Hi Frieda. Nice to see you on a live. That has never happened to me. I enjoy your channel very much!

[BlueBird-vivo]

I'm not unfollowing. I love your content. Bring back Pearl! 😊

[Stasea]

I love your open mind. It’s amazing how people form strong opinions about people they’ve never met. My grandmother used to say ..Believe half of what you see & none of what you hear 😂

[SignalHillHiker]

I completely disagree with tolerating hateful politicians like Trump, but would NEVER unfollow you for sharing a current political event in the community we've learned to love through your channel. To me this is comparable to the atonement chickens, or... Arranged meetings. Different, interesting to learn. I don't doubt for a second you would be kind and welcoming to me in any circumstances, so I will gladly do the same.

[BabsLongfellow]

Thank you for your open coverage of this event. I know it took courage and risk for simply covering an important news story for the community.
