Raising A Family Of 9 Children As Strictly Orthodox Jews | Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over

I love that they left for Shabbat. It is so nice to see it, but there's no way to film it in a way that's respectful to their level of religious observance

I love the way the mom is. How she corrects Stacey and explains things to her. How she is stable in herself. Her unshakable inner peace. Reminiscent of my grandmother (who raised me and loved me). She is a radiant woman.

The oldest son is so wise and articulate, God bless this family! Another great episode Stacey! Big fan!

I love the dynamics between the husband and wife. They seem so respectful toward each other. I enjoy seeing them take turns speaking and listening to one another.

A beautiful, respectful, well spoken and lovable family. What a pleasure to watch and learn more about them

As an American high school teacher I found this video amazingly sensitive and enlightening. I will share what I have discovered with my students. Most of my students are African American, descendent from slaves and Native American. Both have experienced discrimination. They ask about Antisemitism and I explain what I know. This video give the faith group a human face. I loved it!!! Thank you and the Wollenberg family.

I'm an observant Jew, and I really appreciated this. I thought Stacey and the Wollenberg family did an amazing job for only having 40 minutes at the end of the cut to represent us. Well done all!

The politeness, education, how well they are spoken, how calm and collected everyone is, how eager the oldest boy to explain and learn... Just ❤

The fact that people were yelling anything at this family is absolutely disgusting. Zero reason! They aren’t hurting anyone! Breaks my heart.. 🙁

The “last supper” comment from Stacey and Mordecai’s “wrong religion, but yeah” response had me laughing! This was a great video - I really appreciated this families perspective and their opening their home.

Live and let live. Very nice to see an Orthodox Jewish Male so open and honestly well versed in the world that he lives in. His understanding and challenges of living his beliefs and the rest of the world is amazing.

what a gorgeous family! I also love that she didnt make the house look perfect and tidy for the video. Those kids rooms are very realistic lol!

The older boy is extremely intelligent and well spoken

I want to thank this beautiful family for such an educational documentary. What a sweet family. The oldest young boy is wise beyond his years. Such a friendly sweet boy.

Lovely family. Beautiful children. Thank you for allowing us all into your home. 💖

A beautiful family, thoughtfully and respectfully represented. Well done.

Thank you Stacy and team! I’m Catholic and I clicked on this little documentary because I don’t know much about the Orthodox Jewish Faith. I must say they are such a lovely family and it was an eye opener. I know not all people of this religion think or act this way, but it was nice to learn about this family’s religion, traditions, values and what they thought about people who were not like them.

I am born & raised & am still practicing , Roman Catholic. I went to Catholic Grammar school. I was blessed to go to Philly Public HS. Back then (mid to late 70's) my HS was about 85% Jewish. I learned so much from them. Most of all, how to be tolerant of other faiths. I love their traditions. They fascinate me. To be against any religion or choices of others is a disgrace. We are here on this earth to live together. Hate makes me sad. Hate makes me angry.... I am grateful to all of my Jewish friends from HS who showed me that the world wasn't just filled with Catholic kids. We have more in common than most people know. (Yah, big families, too...)

I am impressed the father here is actually interested in his children. In all the religions I've looked at, once someone is strict or orthodox or fundamentalist - whatever you call it, the men never seem to have the slightest interest beyond laying down the law. Never any nurturing like I've seen here. This gives me more respect for them than I have for other religions.

What an intelligent, well-spoken and responsible young man. I would not be surprised if he followed his Papa’s lead and became a Rabbi.
