Thank you so much for watching. I have linked the face cream products that I use below: Skincare Products Mentioned: Clarins Double Serum: amzn.to/3Th1o1w Clarins Face cream: amzn.to/3LoZ06W

[@c.m.b.7567]

i like natural face cream like rubbing cucumbers and tomato on your face or homade sugar scrubs.

[@farmgirls425]

I realized years ago that I am the only one who can be my kid's mother and my husband's wife....anyone can clean a house. Very thankful for the people we have hired to clean during different seasons of life. This is just good time management and making family first priority. Good for you!

[@vivianpowell1732]

Your comment is full of wisdom and offers a wonderful perspective on choosing priorities for one's family life. I hope Sonya will take every word you've shared to heart and put her mind to rest. Thank you.

[@SonyasPrep]

Absolutely!!

[@goodstorylover]

@@vivianpowell1732 Yes, very nicely expressed!

[@ritasklarchuk1819]

What a great perspective! Wish I learned this years ago 😊

[@Lilybet1316]

I’m sorry you received such negative, hateful comments about getting help cleaning - or doing anything else - and thank you for being a voice of love and reality and kindness. 🙏🏻😌💜

Yes, you are so positive and calming. Just ignore those who have nothing better to express.

I know a stay a home mom with two preteen girls who hires cleaning- her job is to care for the children, homeschool them and take them to activities. I would LOVE to hire out 😍

Sonja, my take is that there is a lot of mental illness around which, unfortunately, sometimes shows up online. Ignore 🙂

We are Christian. Hubby was ordained as a pastor nearly 50 yrs ago. He has his PhD in Jewish-Christian relations. I love watching your videos. It has given me such an appreciation for the shared parts of our faiths. I so wish we had something like Shabbat bc it’s such a special way to honor God. Thanks you so much for sharing. Blessings to you and your adorable family

Jesus observed it and it is one of the 10 commandments. We as Christians should also keep it, as per God's word.

Being a mother to 5 kids working full time plus creating all this you tube content and the prep on top of that, to do it all by yourself would be impossible, I admire your honesty in admitting to having help and respect you all the more for it. Love your channel by the way I have learnt so much from you, Thank you.

[@elizabethpieters7798]

I'm a Christian woman from Cape Town, South Africa and I absolutely love you video's. I have learned alot about Judaism by watching your vids. I also admire your devotion to your Faith. Please ignore the negative comments from bitter resentfull women. Misery loves company. There is absolutely nothing wrong with hiring help like cleaners or nannies. Women should be encouraged to hire help when they need it and can afford it.

[@SonyasPrep]

Yes absolutely

[@curiousman1672]

I'll give my two cents about why I enjoy your channel. You present as a woman who holds her life, her husband's life, and her children's lives in high regard. You have a vision and awareness, you are diligent, and you keep a standard in your home. All at an appropriate level. Such a lovely family. Grounded in faith and being an inspiration for your viewers. Well done to you both. May all of life's blessings be yours in abundance.

[@SonyasPrep]

Oh Gosh thank you for your sweet and generous comment ❤

[@Cherub1387]

Wow, I can't believe people think you look pregnant or would even be so thoughtless as to say that if you didn't make an announcement smh. You look great, Sonya!! Especially for being as busy as you are. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us and share these small snippets of your life with us 😊 But please be sure to protect your space and your peace as well. Some of these comments make me think you have some viewers that are jealous of you. So please don't think you're obligated to show us every aspect of your life. May you and your family continue to be blessed and uplifted by the grace of G-d!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@SonyasPrep]

Thank you Anais

[@Kristina-gz2wu]

Haters gonna hate. I'm always amazed at how calm you are when prepping for a holiday, I'm always in hyper mode.

[@SonyasPrep]

I think it’s a normal response to get nervous, I do too

[@dianaaasims]

Wow, I can’t believe that people made comments about you hiring help. That’s ridiculous, I’m SO GLAD you have help to manage your household. ❤️❤️

[@Lilybet1316]

Your husband smiling so proudly at you is inspiring. And yes, we love you and think it would be fun to see a behind the scenes of the non-perfect house. I don’t believe in showing anything other than brief and positive glimpses of the children because they are little and will have to live with this memory. Protecting the kiddos is always the most important. 🙂

[@yvette1097]

You have a beautiful family. Love your page. Continued blessings🙏

[@SonyasPrep]

Thank you Yvette

[@diedrecowart3498]

You were my first exposure to Judaism. Since that day, I have subscribed not only to your channel, but a couple more channels re/Jewish women and their daily life. I have also been slowly learning more about the Jewish faith, through online sources re/Judaism, history and through books and comparing what I learned to how I was raised. I'm not young (64) but it's never to late to learn new things. I wouldn't go so far as to say I am ready to convert, but perhaps I can incorporate what I can into my daily life. The part that deals with the relationship between myself and God. Thanks to you, Channah/Jar of Fireflies, and Sara/Frum it up. You ladies keep it up. You never know the effects your videos have on us. In a way, you are fulfilling your mitzvah to love your neighbors. Shalom.

[@SonyasPrep]

wow so beautiful and encouraging

[@lindaryan4148]

I’m a Christian who likes to cook. Cooking was the first thing that drew me to ur channel. However, as a Christian, my Jesus was Jewish so I am really into learning about your culture which you present so well. Thank you.

[@birdieElla777]

I am born-again Christian, God has opened our eyes to Messianic & the Jewishness of Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus), He was a Torah observant Jew (Torah = God's instructions in to us ALL "First 5 books of the Bible"~ Genesis-Deut.). We now observe Shabbat & His dietary food laws.🍷🍞 🌅 🇺🇸 ✝️ 📖 🕎 🇮🇱 ✡️ God has revealed to us the richness of Hebrew heritage, as well as sending us the Yeshua, Savior of the World. 🤲 💕 🌏

Hi (Shalom, Asalanu alaykum) Sonya. I'm a Muslim & I absolutely love your videos. I've been watching you for about a year and half maybe or more, and I love your recipes. I enjoy learning all you do as a person and family of faith, doing all the everyday things and keeping the focus on doing the best you can with everything you do. Beautiful to watch you and family enjoy the wonderful food you prepare with so much love and care. God (Elohim/Allah) continua to bless you and family with continued success with youtube videos sharing your life with us.🙏🤲🤗

thank you sonya for a channel that brings together people of various faiths ad practices. the comments show appreciation of you by jews- orthodox or not; muslims; catholics; christians of several dominations- seventh day adventists; hindus, etc. your self -respect; respect for your husband and children; parents, etc, inspires your viewers. by being the person you are you are spreading happiness and peace in the world. youur respect for the Torah and love of judaism is a huge teacher for those who may have none or little knowledge of it. you are HaShem's (G-d's) best example of what HaShem wants a person to be. may you and your loved ones be blessed always. your followers too. may the hearts and souls of haters chane into good.

[@SonyasPrep]

I’m in a puddle of happy tears 🥹. It’s incredible and so humbling 🙌

[@Mrs.Laird1234]

Sonya, I am a Christian and have only recently come across your videos. I have been in a little bit of a slump lately as a wife and mother but the Lord, through your videos, has instilled a new desire in me to be the best Christian wife and mother I can possibly be. From your example, I have been filled with the joy of the Lord these past few days as I go about my daily household routines. I hope this doesn't sound completely crazy, but your videos have allowed me to be okay with fully embracing my roles as both mother and wife. I see so much grace in you, and although you are beautiful on the outside, I see the biblical concept of a gentle and quiet spirit which comes from inner beauty within you. I have always been on the outspoken side, but your example has inspired me to pursue what it means to cultivate a gentle and quiet spirit. I love your recipes and have even watched some of your videos with my own children!:) I have learned so much about the Jewish faith, which is beautiful. Your dedication to the Sabbath prompted me to ask my own husband how we could honor the Lord's Sabbath Day and keep it holy more within our own home and life., regardless of what others do. Your dedication to the Sabbath, to your family, to your husband, and to your faith shows your dedication to the Lord. Thank you for being an example to us mothers of what a godly woman looks like. May the Lord bless and keep you and your family. May He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace. May your children rise up and call you blessed.

🥹🥹🥹🥹 Your comment touched me so much!! I have no words. Sometimes being on social media, you don’t know the impact, if any, you have in others. It means so much to me that others like yourself benefit in some small way. I just want you to know that comments like these benefit me immeasurably as well. It gives me the push to continue in times when I am doubtful. Thank you 💕.

The more I understand the Jewish faith, the more I understand my relationship with Yeshua and my understanding of the scriptures.

[@skiesatnight]

Sonya! I had to pause as a rare commenter to say two things. Thank you for sharing that you get help with the home sometimes! Let’s normalize that. You are more inspiring and relatable for it. It takes a village, in all forms. I’m sorry anyone thought it was appropriate to comment on your body, period. That can be damaging, hurtful and is so inappropriate. Thanks for all you share and teach here on your channel.

[@SonyasPrep]

Thank you so much!

You are an amazing, talented, and brilliant lady. I am just in awe of all that you accomplish in one day. I grew up and am of the Christian faith, but through research trying to find out where this fair skinned, red haired, girl ended up with brown eyes and black eyelashes descended found out that the answer is that I am about 25% Jewish of the Cohen clan. I just devour all the knowledge you impart and want to say thank you.

Don't worry Sonya we are not interested to see your house when it's messy. Our houses are messy too. My dear sweet wife of 37 years wonderful marriage passed away more than 2 years ago from lung fibrosis. Now I live alone, the children have their own families. So I watch your program to get tips on kosher cooking. She was an excellent cook and baked a Challah every Friday. I don't bake. I go buy Challah. I appreciate your videos. Thank you.

You have had a big effect on me, too. I am a Christian but just like you I am a seeker after God. You have helped me to see the beauty in ritual and in reminding ourselves of God's character and what he wants from us. Because of you my husband and I have become more intentional in setting aside time to concentrate on God and our faith goals. Thank you for all the time you put into planning, filming and editing.

You inspire me in so many ways and I am a Christian. I think it is good for us all to see that there are loving, amazing women no matter what religion. And that we can all learn from one another to be more supportive and loving. Thank you for your channel🥰

Hi Sonya, just watched your video and I want to tell you that you are such an inspiration. I never knew you didn’t grow up religious. I didn’t either and I’ve always been ashamed of it. Im also from a former Soviet Union country Estonia, and I want to convert. Your videos have been inspiring to me to start lighting the candles and saying a prayer every Friday. And I hope yo evolve in my religious journey and convert some day.

I wish you could broadcast what you said about Respect around the world 🌎... A lot of people need to hear that. Respect is not given now a days and it's scary how disrespectful people have become.

My maternal grandmother cooked for 12 children and much of what you do in the kitchen makes me think of her with food flavorings and spices. My maternal side is from Guyana/ Suriname.

What you provide is a compliment to your life, hopefully educating people on life, recipes, traditions. Rather than criticism, I believe your family should be celebrated for caring enough to share. Whatever the comments may be, you are lovely people and I look forward to the parts of prep and life you choose to share.

Something Shay said in your last couples interview that stuck with me is that you should continue to take the time to get to know one another even after marriage. I just think that's such a beautiful sentiment and so wise. My husband is from Puerto Rico! It is beautiful. I'm sorry people made hateful comments about your getting help in the house. There's no shame in it, in fact it gives someone else a job. My husband became gravely ill a couple of years ago and just when we decided to get help COVID hit and we just couldn't risk exposing him to anyone because he has no immune system. I purchased a year subscription to Fleishigs just because you were in it. So far your issue has been my favorite.

Oh wow I am so flattered. Hope your husband is doing better.

I just discovered your videos, so I'm binge watching and love them all! You give such great advice and you're so calm and patient. You talk about having respect for each other in marriage and that can't be stressed enough because it's so difficult to get respect back. I've been married over 50 years to the same man, and we work at it. (This photo is eight years old.) You also commented about Israel--I love Israel and have been there three times. (I'm a Christian, but have Jewish heritage.) I'm so sorry you had those mean comments about getting housecleaning help. You're so sweet. If a woman works and has a large family, she's going to need help. Thank you for sharing; now onto another of your videos! 🙂

Thank you for sharing Sonya. I thought you might enjoy knowing “why” I even found your channel, was because about 2014 my family became moved regarding honoring Torah, the festivals and practicing “Shabbat” but being desperate how to walk this out I have constantly been looking for sources in how others lived this out, so I found you through one of those searches and very grateful for the other you shared producing such wonderful videos. I pray the Lord continue to bless all you share, as we all are apprentices of this journey and what a blessing it is to have practical sources to help those of us interested in learning how we might also put this practices into action. Blessings to you and your family.

Can’t imagine anyone posting negative comments on this channel. You’re so sweet and I admire all you do and share. You’ve been a huge help to me as my husband is Jewish from Queens NY, also has Russian background and even tho he’s secular, he loves to have traditional foods, so I’ve watched you make all the delicious recipes, matzo ball soup, latkes and cookies and so much more and I’ve been able to make it for him since we live in Florida and can’t always get the traditional foods. Can’t wait to see more of your future content and if you write that book we’ll be buying it. ❤

I LOVE your channel. Your husband looks like a fun guy. Your children are adorable. I grew up Italian Roman Catholic in Bensonhurst Brooklyn. My neighborhood was Catholic / Jewish. I miss the Jewish Deli's. I Transplanted to central Virginia with Husband and children 20 plus years ago. The 1 food I miss is a Potato Knish, the square kind that you split and put mustard in the center! Do you think you can show how to make them with the recipe to go with it? I Know it;s probably a lot of work, and I'll understand if you can't. To me, that's my culture too, and sadly can't just go to the store and buy it. I have to make everything that I miss from New York. Keep up the channel it brings a bit of home to me every time I watch one! Thank You!!!!

I so agree with you. If you need help ask for it. We get a firm in twice a year to deep clean our house. It makes such a difference. I am not Jewish but enjoy your cooking. You have given me lots of ideas. Thank you.

[@SonyasPrep]

That makes me so happy

Hi Sonya, I love your videos and your new home is so lovely! While I will miss not seeing you as often, I think it's very wise of you to realistically look at your overall input of time into the videos and make the necessary adjustments to keep your sanity! I've always thought that making KZbin videos must be a lot more of a process than what we see. You take care of yourself because that's most important, and I look forward to your next upload.

[@SonyasPrep]

Thank you my dear

I really enjoy your videos and appreciate your wholesome content. I am sorry you have some people leaving comments that may upset you and hope you continue to let them bounce off of you as much as possible but again, we are only human. I am fascinated by various cultural traditions and have been lucky enough to have travelled all over the world. I have learned much about an orthodox home from your videos and truly enjoy them. I live in Queens in an area with many Bukharian orthodox families and would love to actually experience a Shabbat dinner but no luck so far! lol. thank you again for your lovely content - I also love to cook and entertain but never really baked my own bread. you have inspired me! I have bread making items and ingredients getting delivered this week. I am excited! Be well Sonya!

[@SonyasPrep]

Can't wait to hear how your first bread comes out

[@theresadavis4885]

I truely enjoy watching your videos. I have learned so much. about your culture and watching you cook makes me hungry every time!!!😂😂 Your food looks amazing. Don’t let peoples negative comments stop you from doing what you do. People who make negative comments are so unhappy in their own lives they wants everyone else to be unhappy as well. Keep up what you are doing. You do an amazing job. By the way, I’ll buy that cookbook whenever you get around to making it!!! Many Blessings to you and yours.

Thank you Theresa😍

Cool to know you speak Russian. You should keep teaching your children. Speaking a foreign language at an early age opens the door for more languages and it's always helpful. Your husband seems adorable. You are both a great couple, listening and supporting each other. I am not a religious person, however, both of you are functioning in a balanced and modern way. As you said communication and being here for the other. You are teaching a lesson. And it's cool KZbin makes you more confident.

[@sheilam1130]

Love you. Much blessings to both of you and your children ❤❤❤

I love your videos. My wife and her son are Jewish, althrough they dont really practice. I was raised as a Christian Babtist, and have been on the fence lately. I am starting to see things in a whole new light and I think I want to convert

Подписалась на Вас пару месяцев назад, так как интересуюсь разными религиями в поисках себя😊 Приятно было узнать что Вы знаете русский язык🥰
