Strictly Kosher: Life in a Jewish Community | Our Life

A revealing documentary following three families from the Jewish community in Manchester whose lifestyles differ but are all bound together by one faith. Subscribe to Our Life: https://bit.ly/3dBMxvl The Jewish community in Manchester is a kaleidoscope of tradition, religion and extravagance. This documentary reveals the stories of three families and their friends and offers an insight into lifestyles that, although range from traditional to modern, are bound together by one faith. Cameras follow Bernette, a lively Orthodox Jewish mother of three, as she explains the traditional approach her family has to the Sabbath and other Jewish festivals. Joel and his wife Joanne come from a traditional background, but Joel admits that they are not very religious. The programme also meets 83-year-old Jack, whose family were killed in Belzec extermination camp when he was just 14. Against the odds, Jack survived and made his way to Manchester in 1945. Jack feels that religion is not as important as basic common humanity. He does not practise all aspects of the Jewish faith, but he is a celebrated survivor venerated by the local community.
