Eating Kosher Foods and Keeping Shabbat | How We Transitioned

[@rebeccasegal8078]

If you two aren’t careful you just might bring Moshiach! Look how much knowledge and inspiration you’re giving to both frum yidden and unaffiliated Jews. You’re amazing! ❤ BTW, your erev Shabbos sounds like everyone else’s. We all need to work on keeping it calm and joyous.

The world doesn’t understand the beauty of Shabbat it’s definitely a gift

[@houseoflev]

If only they could!! Wow, what a gift 🎁

[@adrien1623]

It’s even more of a gift after He died on the cross. Go type the verses of Matthew 27:46 into Microsoft translator isiXhosa language and see what it really means. Used to say same thing in google until algorithm scrubbed it. Jesus asking God why he’s forsaken makes absolutely no sense but we refuse to believe people tampered with the Bible yet you got book of jasher mentioned twice in Joshua and 1 Samuel yet nowhere to be found other than in Ethiopian Bible. When God said that He’s gonna severely punish those who add or remove to the book, He meant that. Here on earth, and then again in hell bc those Gentiles who were allowed authority over the book and His people “painted the likeness of their image.” 1 Maccabees 3:48. God knew they would do this but still needed to make it clear not to so whoever La bold enough to do it won’t complain when they receive eternal damnation as that is the Book of Life. Even as they did that, life is truth and His truth can’t be hidden forever.

[@anncohen5903]

When I started keeping kosher I lived with my parents who didn’t keep kosher so I bought my own pots and pans to make vegetarian meals. I didn’t eat meat in the house because the meat was not kosher. The only time I ate meat was at the homes of people in my Shul on Shabbat and Yom Tov! Shabbat was hard too because my parents watched television on Shabbat so I spent a lot of time in other peoples homes. I now live in a place where I can keep Shabbat and kosher! You guys are really inspiring. Good luck on your journey to Judaism!

[@Berakah2710]

Our journey was simular with Kosher eating I had not had Beef in over 20 years. I stopped eating beef because of the way it made us feel. We restricted ourselves to fish and chicken and turkey. Kosher is more expensive but worth the sacrifice. Shabbat is wonderful and making challah is relaxing and a special anointing. We converted and had mitzvah and remarried under the choopah, right before Pesach on April 2, 2023. Then I catered our Pesach Seder for 110 people from different parts of the country. We had a glorious time. Shabbat is a time of closeness to Hashem and the mispacah of our shul. What a wonderful time. Blessings always and Shavuah Tov Achoti!

[@JewishEducationatHome]

Lol! I was vegetarian 11 years, and I still remember that FEELING I got from that first taste of chicken soup! I learned something interesting… many people go vegan or vegetarian before becoming Jewish or becoming frum… it’s like the neshamah’s way of not letting the body eat the blood that is in nonkosher meat, and thereby it opens up more spiritual channels that you wouldn’t receive if you ate the blood. Your neshamah comes out physically as being vegan, but really it’s a very holy, spiritual way of cleansing the neshamah. (If that makes sense) Many brachos to you and your beautiful family! 🥰

@Jewisheducationathome: That is a very clear way of explaining why we should eat kosher food. Very practical and understandable. I'm on the conversion path and believe me, where I live (Spain) , there is so much pork and even the holiday bakery sweets (mancados) are made with pork fat! It is the most common meat served here. Seafood is highly prized,too. Being a vegetarian is probably the safest bet here.

[@sashagamino2268]

Yes, I vote yes for a Shabbat prep video. And the business (as in busy) and chaos - like with the kids running around- would be a fun addition to see. Pre Shabbos is always busy for me too but it’s a really special and beautiful kind of busy and chaotic, as I think you'd said in the video. I'd also love to see a video on what you've learned as far as the Halacha for Shabbat - if you’d be interested in doing a video like that. I love that, as Jews, we're constantly learning and it's an ongoing thing . Thanks for another wonderful video.

I, too, have been touched by this delightful couple, a palpable Jewish soul emerging so beautifully every time I tune into their KZbin pieces. I had a sense of deja vu as I watched and listened to the couple's profound description of Shabbos and its particularity. Then it suddenly dawned on me: the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks of Blessed Memory saw Shabbos in much the same way and never missed an opportunity to remind us of the divine gift that is Shabbos.

B"H for this excellent video on the most important topics. you express your respect for Torah and love of and appreciation of judaism comes across clearly. this you instill in your children. keeping shabbat is joyous. a simcha. doing a commandment with joy- simcha is a mitzvah. shabbat preparation can certainly be chaotic. highly recommended is " sonya's prep" channel. each orthodox channel is unique and not a competition with the others. being able to share for the good of all is what we human- beings all need. your sharing of your food preferences journey is valuable. being able to enjoy raw helps in keeping kosher when there are absolutely no kosher foods available. but raw fruit and some vegetables that can be eaten raw can be gotten anywhere and paper goods and plastic cutlery. there are so many options these days for eating prohibited favorites. a cheese burger of kosher plant- chopped meat with real cheese or a burger of kosher beef with vegan kosher vegan cheese. children can be explained that the Torah prohibits animal meat ( beef, poultry) and dairy however plant " meat" is plant not animal. what about shellfish that the Torah prohibits? kosher surimi is a great substitute. frozen OU imitation krab, skrimp, labstar, skallops . note: it must have a kosher authorization hechchar as the non- authorized imitation ingredients contain the liquid from the prohibited items. furthermore the kosher non- shell fish can be eaten raw after being thawed. great for traveling with an ice pack. kosher sauce in jars easily available for purchase. every cuisine can be made with kosher substitutes. children and adults can be taught that what appears to the eye is not a fact. a " jewish" pastrami deli sandwich made with tref ( non- kosher meat) is not kosher. however a " jewish" pastrami sandwich made with kosher pastrami is kosher. danielle your 6- braided challah sounds scrumptious. your challah prayers and dedication is such a beautiful house of lev tradition. thank you for sharing that. looking forward to videos showing all. shabbat shalom.

1% of my life… Living in Hawthorne before, deep into south central on budlong x 107th, mid-city (mid-city Washington x west Blvd where I started keeping Shabbat over night) because of my life after death experience and now north Hollywood Thanks, My life after death experience in which I visited a place called Kaf HaKala if I’m pronouncing it right, where I was being sent from one side of the earth to the other side of the earth like ping pong 🏓 but not in a pleasant way! I was being tortured nonstop with fire and being ripped to pieces and all this for 10 minutes approx felt like 1000s of years, cannot put into words as no such thing as time don’t exist above, that my heart stopped and also witnessed GAN EDEN after and ever since then I started keeping Shabbat over night, even walking from bad part of LA to 5 miles nearest Shul to keep Shabbat Holy! No excuses my friends! For the ones who say, you were born religious! FYI I was born In the Iran and Iraq 8 year war bombed nonstop daily life flashing before your eyes and my father passed away about 2 years ago in Tehran Iran in which I have not seen my father for 30 years marking it 32 years and found my mother after 20 + years or so and my family separated around 20 years old to a point you wanted to cut yourself daily! My story is a story of David HaMelech and HaShem and EMUNAH got me through all of it and I cheated death in LA easily over 200 x and many times in south central where I used to live, survived major drive-by-shooting with over 300 bullets flying in which I was walking toward the bullets because I didn’t value life anymore among stabbings and more but not because I was tough…because of only HaShem BH” now live by Shul and keep Shabbat fully!

I appreciate what you said about not going into Shabbat with anger. Hashem did in fact make Shabbat for man and not man for Shabbat and if we are so focused on man made traditions versus Biblical mandates, it can become a labor. I actually practice Biblical Judaism and not Rabbinical Judaism. Not that I throw out the baby with the bath water, so to speak, because there is much to be learned in Rabbinical teachings. But for me personally I follow scripture first and then consider if the Talmud teaching is going to bring clarity or burden to whatever area of my life I'm dealing with.

Perhaps in the future you will visit or even live in Israel and you will see even more aspects of Jewish life and the environment of living in a Jewish context. I enjoy your videos and your enthusiasm. Keep going and keep learning.

[@houseoflev]

We can’t wait to come visit BzH soon

[@chuck62891]

​@@houseoflev Your family will love it here. I encourage you to also go beyond the Center and explore the North, the Galilee and the Golan. There is a different vibe here. May it be soon.

[@sashagamino2268]

@@chuck62891 The last couple times I was in Israel I went further north, to the Galilee and the Golan and really love that part of the country. But to be fair I love all of it. In one of my first visits I went south, to Eilat and then Sharm El Sheikh (which is now Egypt - but at the time was still in Israel). The whole country is incredible! I used to have friends and family there but don't any more so going will be more difficult now because of the huge expense. But I'm still planning to go if it’s at all possible. My heart yearns for Eretz Yisrael!

Learning hilchot shabbat is important, and you will get it down pat eventually! But! Everyone makes mistakes here and there. It's a process, especially with kids. Just keep going!

Please look up Sonya’s Prep on KZbin, she’s a fabulous orthodox woman

[@houseoflev]

Yes she’s great!

Shabbat is that sweet reprieve from the mundane. ❤

[@MFPhoto1]

There is a commentary by Rashi which says on the seventh day Hashem created rest. Why? To give us one free day to study Torah. The other six days we are concerned with making a living, and many do not have time to adequately study. So we have Shabbos were we do not have to concern ourselves with making a living.

[@houseoflev]

Love this!! Thank you for sharing

[@bradleyshirts2163]

So is it vegan for six days and then meat on Shabbat only? I think that"s beautiful. I thought even before I converted that my practice had to be with hamadvii kodesh l,chol, separating the holy from the ordinary. I look for ways to do that.

[@houseoflev]

We did that a few times. But eat meat throughout the week!
