Sara thank you for this video. I’m a medical education provider (my focus is slightly different, I train medical laboratory technologists). Your video has opened my eyes to the challenges some of our students may face to attend our training. I’m going to talk to our travel coordinator and our D&I office to make sure we have a plan in place to accommodate learners with special requirements. I want all my students to feel comfortable and welcome and not worrying about what there is to eat or other religious/cultural requirements.

At least Jews have worn wigs in addition to scarves for a long time and aren't excluded to the same degree.

As someone with a literally-life-threateningly serious shellfish allergy (to the point where breathing near it is dangerous), the idea of being able to walk into a grocery store and pick up sushi without any fear of death is absolutely mind-boggling to me. I know there's no Jewish/kosher grocers in my town, but you've convinced me to make it a point to look for them when I travel so I can FINALLY one day eat sushi without being afraid it's going to kill me.

[@bipolartorecovery1485]

Yeah, I'm spiritually neutral but i can definitely relate about requiring at least a mini fridge for my room because of my prescription diet. I always favor places that have kitchens in them so i can have my stay in comfort and peace of mind without worrying about being sick or just the hassle of having to leave my room for something quick that's either tasteless since that's the only way i can explain a means of my food without getting sick or having to find a hospital that happens to have the cocktail of meds I'd need if they got it wrong and most hospitals don't carry it/make it.

Dear Sara, I would travel for you indeed! As a religious Muslim wearing a head covering, and having had the deal with exclusion from school and work in the past due to it, the bit about the contract was something I felt deeply for you. I had and have friends who also wore artificial wigs and one who even shaved their head. Having faced this discrimination since youth and still facing it, I sometimes almost lose hope in humanity but my faith saves me and I treat this as yet another challenge of faith, another test. It is still difficult to bear and you have my solidarity. It was very illuminating to see and understand struggles of staying at a non-jewish hotel but I was heartened seeing comments from fellow subscribers who are in tourism and education industries telling you how they will now work to make things more accommodating to everyone. You are doing amazing work with your videos in increasing awareness and strengthening solidarity and empathy. Peace be upon you, I hope you have a lovely end of the year!

@@chickiek8011 I’m not Canadian, but my partner has Muslim relatives in Quebec. If I understood the laws correctly (since sometimes it seems like Quebec likes to model itself after France), they’ve been trying to limit religious headcoverings for people that hold public jobs, like teachers. The French understanding is more freedom from religion in public vs. The US freedom of expression of religion. My guess would be that since the meeting she’s representing her organization “in public” there might be a stipulation about religious head coverings, or something like that. It’s just a guess and it feels discriminatory to me. Perhaps there is a good reason that I haven’t considered.

I worked at a Wyndham a few years back and let me tell you- as far as bed linens and cleanliness goes,... The linens are washed in cold water with eco friendly soap so I HIGHLY suggest to bring your own pillows and pull down the covers to check for dirty sheets because the times for cleaning a room/unit is significantly reduced to a half an hour at MOST so ALOT of cleaning staff has to cut corners. So tips from the trade- call and request a new set of sheets and blankets, check the shower curtains for soap spots or shampoo/soap residue, and if there are kitchens run a load of dishes in the dishwasher. 😎👍 Oh yeah- use Lysol wipes on the counters.....trust me- you don't wanna know.

Always puts a smile on my face when you post! As for travel packing tips, my number one tip that I use for every long distance trip is using military-style backpacks/rucksacks, which is something I picked up from my dad. He frequents an army surplus store in our area, and bought me a small backpack with multiple pockets for a week long trip to El Salvador. I wasn't sold on it at first because it looked smaller than the average backpack, but I was able to fit quite literally all of my luggage into it, check it as a carry-on (avoiding luggage fees was a huge plus), and carried it with ease through what felt like miles of airport terminals. It may not work for everyone, but for me it helped me limit my luggage to what I truly needed and saved me from keeping up with bulky, heavy suitcases. As an added bonus, they're also usually made durable enough to handle heavy roughhousing and comfortable enough to be worn for as long as necessary.

May G.od bless and shed light 💡 in your path to see success and health ❤️

[@arielharris8596]

Thank you for the encouraging words. I am also a Mum trying to take care of herself and juggle being a wife, science teacher and human. I need to work on using my time wisely to be a blessing to myself, my family and my students. I'm sending prayers that you find joy and health in your self care and are kind to yourself on your journey too.

Im not Jewish but I really enjoy your videos. What a treat to learn that you were a high-level athlete! I played a sport for 13 years (won a national championship) & also kinda let myself go after retiring, so I totally get it. Here’s to us feeling more like our athletic selves as we move forward! ❤💪🏽

[@frumitup]

Wooop whoooppp! Let’s go!!!

[@kubon101]

Hello Sarah. I would just like to say a general thank you for your videos. I've watched a few so far. As a non Jewish man, it has been very informative learning about your life and culture. Having lived in Montreal, the orthodox/Hasidic community had always been very mysterious and a little intimidating. Videos like these are wonderful in sharing our experiences and I believe help bring people closer and understand each other better. Your love for your religion and culture really come through and you narrate in such a warm, inviting and respectful way. Please keep up the great work. I will definitely try some of your recipes too!

[@sheilarough236]

I found your channel while scrolling late at night during a bout with insomnia. Your voice is so calming and soothing. I’m not Jewish, but I’m very interested in other cultures. May God bless you and your loved ones in the upcoming new year

[@SaRo-r8j]

I would travel for you 🎉. As a Flight Attendant, I could so relate to this video from meal prep to making sure our hotel room has a fridge. I enjoy my daily devotional with G-D before I leave for my trips. And as someone who travels for a living, it doesn’t take long to learn to travel light. I just take what I know I will use. And yes would love to see the videos or how you dress modest and your reset to a healthier you. Have a wonderful New Year.

[@frumitup]

Wooowwww! My dream job after being a doctor was being a flight attendant : is it too late? 🫣🫣🫣 I love how you describe your lifestyle: it seems we have many similarities! I am sure I could learn so much about travelling light with you!! Stay safe and blessed my friend and may G.od bless you ❤️❤️❤️

[@VeraDonna]

@@frumitup never too late! I'm a flight attendant too and I've seen that some companies in this industry now want to hunt 40+ professionals - yes, because there's a lack of workforce, but also because this age group has more maturity, life experience and soft skills and in general is more reliable.

[@frumitup]

Ok !!! I might have a chance to fulfill that dream!!!

@@frumitup definitely consider it when your kids become a little more autonomous. :) You seem like such a kind, hospitable person and your medical background is so valuable on board!

[@missp5152]

💌 l agree with Sara + the other encouraging comments that you would excel as a Cabin Steward with your nurturing, relaxed aura plus medical background. You could rotate working 3 days a week to not be away too long from your nest 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 And choose long haul or domestic routes. Once the children are older, having learnt from you how to prepare delicious food, you may feel inclined to follow your dream. Go well - wishing you the very best life. Thank you for sharing your enlightening wisdom with all of us 🙏

[@stacieknits]

I would certainly travel to see you and learn more about your faith! I love your videos for a lot of reasons, but mostly because I love getting a small glimpse into your Orthodox Jewish life. I had to pause the video to look up the different types of bread that would require a special prayer! Thank you for sharing all of this with us, and glad you made it home safely back to your loved ones!

Very well written!

[@PEGASUSleadmare]

Tips? Yep. Have a bag prepacked with travel size or freebie size of cosmetics, health care, etc. just grab and go. Pick a two color combo like blue and white or black and gray, brown and beige. That way you can pack less shoes and accessories. Also you will be able to mix and match plus maybe wear one or two pieces multiple times.

[@nmcelroy3540]

Thank you for letting us tag along on your journey! I am grateful for this community as we all strive to know and support each other. As women we wear so many hats. I am fighting like you to get back in the gym and train. I use to also play sports and I do miss it. This year, I am signing back up for adult leagues and plan to do some outdoor activities (biking, walking) to get myself healthy again. This travel I know too well as I also have to complete yearly CEU (continuing education units).

@Anna-Kate Howell - _”I am a Christian but Christmas is a huge trigger for me and makes me feel sad and alone…”_ Wow! 😮 I must admit, I’ve never read anything quite like this before. Why would Christmas make you feel “sad and alone”? Have you no family or friends to share the day with?

I am a Christian woman, but much of what I wear outside of my home would be considered frum. So yes, I would love to have you guide us on a way to dress in a manner that is both attractive and modest to avoid unnecessary attention. Also, if you can point out stores that have online ordering, I would appreciate it. Your clothing is beautiful so please include stores you shop at.

Tips to travel light (from a licensed tour guide): Check the weather forecast of your travel destination, this way you know exactly what kind of clothes to take and you don't over fill wih both winter and summer clothes. Another tip is to make a list of what you'll pack before packing.

I love seeing you prep food in advance. I have such strong memories of my mom doing the same thing (and a few horror stories involving brown rice, peanut butter and apple sauce meals if she was delayed on a business trip). Also, have you tried cocofloss? It's my new favourite due to its thickness, acting like a mini brush between the teeth.

You are my highlight every week. You are the best. I also am trying to get back into shape. I’m a little older than you and my downfall was going through menopause but I’m going to the gym and watching what I eat. For me that means including more protein in my diet. Maybe that would help you too.

She is very calm and soothing but also has a pretty wicked sense of humor. We have been together 11 years and I love her so much that I make a 4 hour round trip to see her instead of finding a doctor closer to home. I really do not like to speak for others but if I had to guess, I would say that your patients know they are in very good hands with you. And I hope you know that your name is written in my prayer journal and I pray for you, your family, and your patients on a daily basis.

I would travel for you! I enjoy your videos because I believe in my heart you are a good person. I believe, after discovering you on this channel, I kept watching your videos because you are the kind of mother I wish I had been given. As I watch you interact with your children I see such authentic love and desire to spend time with them and give them fond memories of spending time with you. I like seeing you and your husband actually being a family with your kids eating together, playing games, and teaching them to be responsible loving members of society. You openly give love to strangers. No one is perfect, I understand this. I continue to watch your program because I like the content and the food you make for your family looks fantastic. I am not of your faith, however, I enjoy learning about modern Jewish lifestyle and how you manage to work outside of your home and to care for your family as if you were a homemaker full time.

I also saw in a previous video about you switching out toilet paper for kleenex on shabbat. Why?

[@frumitup]

@@volvacations2186 good question the general rule on Shabbat is that we cannot create something wether product/ article whatever it is and therefore toilet paper is a continuous roll of paper if you want and to be able to use it you have to tare it part and therefore creating smaller pieces the Kleenex are separated and therefore when you pull them the kind we use are not attached one to the other therefore allowing us to simply use it as is and not creating squares of paper like we do with toilet paper I hope that it helps

I would love to hear what sport and how it was to perform at that level while maintaining your observant lifestyle. Talk about perseverance! I would love to hear more about the best way to choose Orthodox women’s clothing for sports too. I think it is crummy that they don’t allow headscarves and that they messed up your dietary specifications so frequently. They shouldn’t make it harder for an observant female doctor to fully participate. You put so much love into your meals for your family-I can both see it in the food your make and hear it in your voice. When you were reading at night, I got wondering if it is considered acceptable to ever read non-spiritual material that is classic or popular? I was thinking of something like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
