Great advice on “you can’t do it all”!! So many people try to tell moms they can be great at everything all the time! But it is so reassuring to hear you say you have to pick and choose. I’m like you in that I may do a lot in one area and then can’t do so much in the other areas that day. Not enough energy!! 🤪 Above all, I think the mom’s attitude is the most important thing to work on. Who cares if the house is spotless and have fancy meals if mom is angry, fussing, and yelling all the time? Mom life ain’t no joke! Hardest thing I’ve ever done! But it seems like you are doing a great job! 🥰

Hi! Religious Jewish girl here! Concerning the modest wardrobe question I have a few tips as well: 1. I never felt comfortable wearing shells under my tops because I don’t like how tight they are or how they look on me, so an easy alternative is to wear turtlenecks, especially in the winter months. 2. I personally don’t like how a lot of Jewish clothing stores design their modest dresses, because I feel that they’re too mature for me or too formal, so another option is to shop on Muslim women’s sites or stores. They have similar rules in terms of modesty, and it’s a way to connect the two communities 🥰. There’s a lot of “fashion inspo” posts for Muslim women that can also be fun for Jews to explore! Finally 3. This one is obviously not accessible to everyone but if you have a trip planned to Israel, consider shopping for clothes there. There are so many modest and cute little stores, especially in Jerusalem because the population there is generally more religious. Of course at the end of the day, you can find your own pieces at stores near you, it can sometimes just take a little digging. Hope this helps! ❤️

Thank you for explaining the dishwasher situation. I am in my late 70s but one of my childhood memories is of a school friend who was Jewish. Her mother's kitchen fascinated me. Two dishwashers, two fridges and two ovens. This was late 50s, early 60s in Atlanta. Her mother always wore wigs except in the summer time when she wore scarfs. Pre air-conditioning. As I got older I began to understand more about the Jewish religion. However, until I started watching you, I never really understood the dietary laws that required the separate appliances, separate plates silverware, etc. Still learning at my age.

Hi Chana! you are looking Great Boruch Hashem! Just wanna add for the viewers, in Judaism,we are always learning. I was brought up in a religious home, went to Day school, and I am still learning new things. Last night we had a shiur(class) ( on zoom) from Rabbi Zev Leff from Moshav Matityahu, near Modiin.,Israel. He spoke for over an hour (in English) on Hilchot Pesach. All things we know but we always need to go over,and study. Sometimes what we did in our parents home is not what we do in our own home. Always learning! My husband and I do have the same Rabbi as we live in a community in Israel with the rabbi leading our shul, But there can be families who will seek advice from their different Rabbi's. About the healthcare in Israel, Like you said, it's not free here. It might be cheaper than in the states but we still pay monthly.

I was so excited when I realised that you and your husband are Sephardi! I love watching your videos and getting an insight into how my ancestors might have practised Judaism as Sephardim.

It's great to hear of another mom who does not like Disney or similar theme parks. I've visited Disneyland Paris and it was a nightmare. I don't enjoy waiting in lines. I also think the parks push to much merchandise & junk food. I did not want my daughter to set a goal of being a princess. I wanted her to set higher standards for herself, and she has. There are so many great museums (The Natural history museum is a favourite), Galleries and places to visit. All can be great fun. I've taken her to Harry Potter exploration parks, because she was a fan from the 1st book. We've also visited wonderful countries together. I fully support your decision to not film your children. They can't give informed consent and exposure could cause issues at School. Looking forward to baby arriving safely.

My amazing obstetrician was Orthodox and I remember with my first pregnancy I asked her what happens if I go into labor on Shabbat, (like would there only be a skeleton crew available in labor and delivery, I didn’t want to be delivered by mo larry and curly), and she laughed and explained that either she or her colleague would be on call as normal. My first baby was transverse so we ended up with a planned c section so it ended up being a moot point. I am Catholic and both I and my daughter enjoy your channel and your spirit of love and joy and hard work.

Very interesting video! I just wanted to add that, usually, the official Ba'al Koreh reads the Torah publicly. However, any Congregant that is called to the Torah can read his portion, as long as he is able to read it with no mistakes, and with the proper trope. Same for the Haftarah portion of the week.

Thanks for that additional info!

@@jaroffireflies As a matter of fact, the Congregants are called to READ from the Torah. Depending on the Congregation, very few of them are actually prepared for a correct public reading, and the Ba'al Koreh has to take over.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that you don’t show your children on your channel. It’s so respectful of them and their privacy. There are other channels where it feels like the kids are being…used for the channel, and since people make money on KZbin it just feels wrong to me.

Hello Chana! I have not commented in awhile but please know that I have watched every single video and LIKED all of them! Congratulations on your pregnancy - I am so happy for you!! I do have a question for you for perhaps your next Q&A. Have you watched on KZbin, Peter Santenello's expose on Hasidic Jews in NY? If so, I would love to know your feelings about it. I know you are not Hasidic but you are Orthodox. I absolutely loved his series and I think it was groundbreaking not just for Hasidics but for all Jews and I would love to know your thoughts if you were up to watching it :)

Hi, your kids are funny passing by while you were recording. 😊 Next week is Passover, what are your favorite foods of Passover?? Mine are Matzo ball soup, gefilte fish and brisket, I don't know how to make it but we buy it from our local supermarket. Take care
