- Footage from the 1997 documentary “A Life Apart: Hasidism in America” (directed by Menachem Daum and Oren Rudavsky), the first in-depth documentary about Hasidic Jews, members of a distinctive group within Judaism that has roots in pre-World War II Eastern Europe. Tashlich (a ritual performed on Rosh Hashanah along the banks of a river or stream) in Prospect Park . The Bobover Rebbe arrives to perform tashlich. Interview with Afro-American man about Hasidim. (Part 2) 1993 00:00:13 - Bobover Hasidim saying tashlich in Prospect Park. Boys climbing a lamppost. The Bobover Rebbe is escorted to his car (about 5:30). Men, but also women and children. 00:11:09 - Interview with African-American man, a park worker, in Prospect Park: About how he felt disrespected by the Hasidim he encountered that day and also that the Hasidim did not proceed with performing their ritual in a respectful way. About how disturbed he was by how fearfully the Hasidic children reacted to him and his worry about what implications this might have for interactions between Hasidic Jews and others in the future. Doesn't excuse antisemitism but says it's sometimes provoked by Hasidic arrogance. About how he was almost run over by a Hasid in a car and it made him think of Gavin Cato. About how Jews are arrogant because they have political and cultural power and therefore they have carte blanche. 00:19:20 - About Hasidic/Jewish "spiritual arrogance" and how it plants the seeds of "violence." About a conversation he had with a Hasidic Jew that offended him and which he found "paternal." In response to filmmaker's question, says he also doesn't approve of Nation of Islam arrogance either.
