Vlog | Come Shopping With Us for Shabbat in a Snowstorm

Shabbat Prep/Kosher/Jewish Holidays/Judaism/Jewish Convert/Orthodox Jewish Life/Sephardic/Edot Hamizrach
Hi! In this video, I am taking you shopping with me and my girls to buy some prepared foods for Shabbat. (We'd had a really busy week prior and I didn't have time to bake or cook much.)
We are going to 2 grocery stores, both have kosher sections, which is such a blessing to just be able to walk in and buy what we like/need, and not have to special order online or go without.
If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to post in the comments under the video. :)
Hope you enjoy!

This video just popped up. I don’t know what’s up with u tube lately!! Your roads look like ours!! Michigan shares much of what you get!! I like your grocery store. It looks like you arrived on a good sale day!! I’m all about bargains. Please be safe on the roads. Regular ice is bad enough but black ice is the worst!! I had to laugh watching the baby throw a fit 😂 and help herself to the goodies. She’s gotten so big!! You definitely have your hands full!! Prices are so out of line. So much greed!! Have a great week!!

Another great video Happy HANUKKAH to you and your beautiful family. 💗

Thanks so much, Susan! 🤗

I love your vlog style videos! Your kids are all very intelligent. Even your youngest is talking! I see so many three year olds who can't talk these days or know only a few words, and it always shocks me. It's clear you interact with your kids and are very involved with them, and it's so great to see. I like that you talk to them like people, rather than "baby talk" them. By the way, I'm sorry for your loss.

[@jayellealafi5797]

Hi Crystal! I'm glad you like my vlogs! 💗 Our youngest is something else, that's for sure. A lot of personality. 😊 She learned to climb before she walked, and if she wanted something from the top of the dresser, she would pull out the drawers like steps and climb up. Dangerous, but how smart is that?! I never had a kid before her that did that. Her favourite sentence is, "Aviva did it." (her 3 yr/old sister) 😂. Anything you ask her, it's "Aviva did it."

[@Crystal11Skulls]

@@jayellealafi5797 Haha, wow! I love her cleverness and sass. 😆 Shows she has a big personality. All of your kids seem very intelligent- I remember one of your first videos Aviva had grabbed some blueberries and washed them before eating them. Shows how smart and independent she already is! Whatever you are doing, you're doing it well! I hope you make more vlogs!

[@iceeyes3875]

Love how real you keep your videos…your littlest one reminded me of when my kids were that age (especially my son, lol) you tell him not to do something and he’ll do it while looking at you. Wishing you all a very Happy Hanukkah!

[@jayellealafi5797]

Thank you Ice Eyes! We're all about real life around here. 😂 💗

[@gamerwhiz6847]

Very nice, honest videos. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.

[@jayellealafi5797]

My pleasure! 😊

[@Asasas222w]

You have a very beautiful family! I try to have as Kosher a diet as possible. Chag Chanukah Sameach! Your video on your conversion was excellent and perhaps too honest! Baruch HaShem!

[@jayellealafi5797]

Thank you so much! Good for you with kosher! The conversion video was a viewer request, I'm not sure what too honest is, but I did my best to tell it like it is. 😊 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Deep_Blue_Sapphire]

I ALWAYS choose the damaged cart, lol. Sorry to hear about your grandma. Losing a grandma is losing a best friend. Oh, I'm all about a sale. That's how I stock my pantry and eat lots of fresh f/v. Your baby swiping the rugalagh...hysterical! Love your channel. You're so real!

[@jayellealafi5797]

Yes! Thank you! 😂😘

[@ronagreenfield9545]

No shame in looking for bargains😊... inflation ("greed-flation") is out of control everywhere. A small tube of Sensodyne toothpaste is selling for slightly less than ten dollars. Crazy, right?! Stay safe and warm and have a wonderful Hanukkah!

[@jayellealafi5797]

Thanks Rona, hope your Chanukah was lovely! 💗 I know , the prices are just crazy, I was comparing our heating bills this time last year, significantly higher bills for significantly less usage. 😕 I don't buy Sensodyne, but I am seriously considering learning to make my own toothpaste. 😂

[@glennanderson8783]

I live alone so if something needs taking care of I have to do it myself. On Saturday right after Havdalah I start preparing for the next Shabbat. If I waited until Friday to begin preparing I would forget or omit something.

[@gabrielleangelica1977]

Good 💡 idea. Why not do little by little all week?

[@glennanderson8783]

@@gabrielleangelica1977 I do. It starts with a meal plan then house cleaning etc etc until around noon of Friday. Generally by 3pm Friday I am all done.

Everyone should do that! In fact, I try to make a point of doing 1 thing for shabbos every day of the week myself

[@jayellealafi5797]

I love it! I actually do this as well, but some weeks I just run out of time/energy to make challah and other baking, depending on what else is going on that week. 😊

blessing on you and family. you are an asset to our jewish people dedicating your self to raising another generation. quality human beings to make HaShem's world a better place. driving the. children in difficult weather conditions to a jewish school, and kosher dept. supermarket. even the little child learning to say the appropriate bracha. demonstrating the good manners of setting the juice jugs up straight. keeping your cool during the tantrum. interesting to see your chosen purchases. wear the new clogs in good health. they are your preferred color.

[@joycefischer7693]

Does your supermarket also sell kosher chicken & meat?

[@jayellealafi5797]

Yes they do!

[@azubliss]

Lovely video. I'm just curious -- will there be a vlog about female head coverings? Also the one the you wear is a beautiful color. Where did you get it?

[@jayellealafi5797]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊 My head covering video is coming very soon! The particular scarf I'm wearing in this video is this one from Amazon: amzn.to/3GzPMC5 💗

We enjoy eggs in our ramen. I feel a little less guilty about serving ramen that way. ❤️
