- 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. Interview with Mayer and Sara Horowitz, Bobover Hasidim. (Part 3) 1/17/1994 00:00:17 - Mr. Horowitz starts in English and then is urged by the filmmakers to switch to Yiddish. About his son Ben Zion and the match they made for him. 00:02:15 - About how economic circumstances led Ben Zion to get a job and eventually he became an appraiser. 00:03:31 - In response to a filmmaker's question about how many children and grandchildren they have, Mrs. Horowitz says that they don't count them (as per custom and superstition). Mr. Horowitz: More about his children and the matches they have made and how important it is for them to see them. Ben Zion helps by picking up family members with his car. 00:05:22 - About the importance of maintaining loving, joyful homes, that are a partnership between husband and wife, and in which even children pitch in with housework. 00:08:21 - Mrs. Horowitz (in English): About how she was raised to be a mother, putting aside other ambitions. Her older sisters were a role model for her. Doesn't feel she missed out on anything. Is grateful for what she has. Doesn't miss going to the movies, though when she was a child it was permitted for Orthodox Jews. 00:11:33 - Mr. Horowitz (in Yiddish): about how the Bobover Rebbe built a Hasidic community in America after World War II despite the difficulty of resisting the allure of the outside world and all it has to offer. 00:15:26 - Some of his children and grandchildren are exposed to the outside world through their jobs but remain Hasidic because the Bobover Rebbe has created a strong foundation for Hasidic life here.
