A special new video has just been released on the “Menorah” YouTube channel — a deep, honest, and profoundly personal conversation between Chief Rabbi of Dnipro, Shmuel Kaminezki, and his son, Mendel Kaminezki, about what it truly means to be a Jewish man.
This video is not about stereotypes. Not just about payot, beards, or a kippah. It’s a conversation about choice — the kind that defines who you are. About responsibility — to your wife, to your family, to your people. About a covenant with G-d that goes beyond belief and finds expression in action — sometimes painful, always intentional.
Why do grown men willingly undergo circumcision? Why are beards, payot, and a kippah not just about appearance, but a visible sign of commitment? How does the fear of “looking Jewish” prevent one from being authentic? And what really makes you a man — regardless of your age, background, or past?
This is a conversation about pain and faith, growth and courage, shame and overcoming, and the decisions that shape your true identity.
Share in the comments what being a man means to you — let’s talk about it together.
