It made me cry tears of joy to learn your husband helps with household chores. I know almost nothing about Jewish life, but somehow thought that was absolutely 100% the wife's purview. Bless you, bless you for educating me.
I have watched you for almost a year now and I always feel so welcomed into your home and your life. I finally decided to just tell you how it makes me feel. Thank you for opening up such a private life to give the world a glimpse of how you enjoy being exactly who you are. No matter your faith, good people make other people feel great and you are clearly a good person. Thank you for sharing and spreading so much peace and joy to the world. When I'm having a rough time I play you in the background while I find my own peace.
Sarah I am a Lebanese Christian 36 year old from Australia but have been so interested in your beautiful religion! I find it so fascinating to see different customs and religions. Although I might not be your target audience I still love watching what you do! Keep up the great work.
Girl OMG!!! you’re literally Wonder Woman!! How do you do it!? You’re a mom, doctor, and an influencer, you know 7 languages, and find time to keep your house clean ALL WITH A SMILE!! I’m not a mom, nor a doctor, or an influencer, and I only know 3 languages 😭 I can’t even keep my own room clean, I be messy af begrudgingly cleaning my room, and I’m 15 😭
Dr Sara, as a fellow American, though not Jewish I just want you to know, I love your videos, and I pray daily for your family and the Jewish community. What's happening in Israel saddens my heart, what's happening in our country angers me. We all are God's people, no one better then anyone else. Be safe❤️
I love that you start your busy day with self attention. The prayers and exercise are so important. I learned the hard way (being a caregiver for my ailing husband) that running on empty serves no one.
Join the club-my husband has been incarcerated for the past 3 1/2 years, and between the pandemic isolation, trying to make ends meet (no small task when you only qualify for minimum-wage work), raising our two children (one’s in high school, the other’s in college), taking care of the housework and yard work on my own, caring for my aging parents (Mom died in January and I’m still helping Dad with chores in their house because his knees are shot), and keeping my husband’s mind occupied and morale up all by myself (there is _no_ support group for families in our situation where I live!), I’m beginning to stagger under the weight. I’m trying to include more self-care, but I’m nowhere near as consistent as I need to be yet and the demands on my time have yet to let up!
@@dragondancer1814 Whoa! That's a full load. I fully understand not having the time (or energy) to take on even one more thing, despite that one thing being for your own benefit. My friends and family wondered why I didn't take advantage of weekends because they thought having two days off of work would miraculously give me free time! Instead of adhering to a consistent exercise program, perhaps you could just pray? It doesn't have to be religiously-centered. I found that just focusing on something besides myself and my husband for those few minutes gave me relief. All the best to you, DragonDancer!
Well done. @8:40 I really like Bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) I use it to clean & sanitize almost everything. As a nurse who took a specific interest in microbiology, to me, Bleach & the hottest water my hands can stand (132°F) is the best way to decimate harmful germs, fungi & other bugs.
I love your channel! I am a Christian woman who also dresses modestly--I was immediately attracted to your channel when I saw your video about staying modest and cool on hot days. Your love for your husband and family pours through in your videos! I love watching them as I am doing my own cleaning and home reset. I don't have children sadly but I am a busy Special Education Teacher. Between running to my students games and band activities, I need a schedule for maintaining my home. Thank you and keep those videos coming!!!!!
Hi Sara, your favorite atheist here! I just wanted to tell you how motivating your routines are, and I loved seeing your whole family, including the boys, pitch in together and work as a team. I love that so much! My husband is a huge help around the house and I feel grateful for that as I have a lot of health issues. I also wanted to let you know you motivated me to buy a mindfulness journal to start and end my day by writing down what makes me grateful and what my goals are, so these are always top of mind. Thank you!! ❤
Thank you for including us in your prayers, Sara, it's so kind of you. I definitely understand a busy week (or two!) can bring happy chaos into our homes. This week my middle child graduated from high school, with all the attendant activities and celebrations for his classmates, out of town visitors, and many meals shared with loved ones and friends. Today my house needs attention, for sure! I love Sunday reset routines; thank you for sharing yours. You are loved. (PS, I also wear gloves and use toilet paper to clean the toilets!)
I clean dishes, tablecloth, Shabbat elements right after Havdalah - it’s a habit to wake up on Sunday in a clean house. In Switzerland we’re not allowed to use loud household appliances (vacuum cleaner, washing machine) on Sundays, so all “dirty” work is done on Mondays. And on Sunday we cook obligatory shakshuka ❤
I just want to say, thank you for consistently uploading videos, and giving us a peek into your private life and traditions. I have so much respect and love for you, and the entire Jewish community Though I am not Jewish, I do honor and respect the Sabbath. Sending you endless Love Also, thank you for that message at the end letting everyone know they are loved and wanted, that meant a lot ❤
I would love to hear about your childhood growing up orthodox in France! That seems so interesting! I wonder if there’s any differences between the Jewish communities there and here?
I love Sunday reset routines! I’ve had a week of feeling really under the weather and out of sorts so it was good to spend today doing some cleaning, tidying up and food prep for the week ahead. Feel much better going into the new week knowing I’m organised, have delicious healthier meal options ready to go and most of the big jobs are done. I can quickly run the vacuum around or wipe down the bathroom as needed going forward. Was lovely to see all the family helping out to get the home ship shape again; many hands make light work. Glad you had some time for yourself first thing, lets you reset yourself! I love looking out into the garden to see the birds, insects and squirrels while I wash my dishes; tonight a squirrel was busy munching away on the berberis and I saw a butterfly. As an ex-radiographer, I always wear rubber gloves and use disposable wipes to clean my toilet! I bleach the bowl a couple of times a week as well! Sorry that you couldn’t get that lovely decanter after all. Much love to you all.
Your blue serving dish is SO gorgeous that I gasped! What a pretty present. I love to reward myself with playing computer games when I've finished a chore or a homework assignment (I'm going to be the first woman in my family to earn a bachelor's degree). Love seeing your Sunday reset.
Being the first in your family to get a university degree is *enormous*. It was true for my husband, and it opened a world of possibilities for all of the extended family who came after him. Congratulations on your perseverance; you’re doing a great job at a difficult path. Give yourself a little celebration at the end of each semester, whether it’s a day at a spa or a private picnic with your favorite foods and a great book. You deserve it! ❤
I love Sunday reset routines! I am with you 100% regarding the paper towels to clean the toilet. Using a few paper towels is reasonably eco-friendly because I would wash the toilet cleaning cloths in a separate load of laundry, which would use water, electricity, and detergent. Leah and Naomi are wonderful workers! And your son’s floors sparkled! You and your husband are wise to teach your children to work. ✡️❤️
Your daughters did a fabulous job making the beds. My husband helps with household chores too -trash and vacuuming. He also scrubs the toilets. I truly appreciate all of his help. I use my time when I am hand washing dishes to pray. It is my “prayer corner/closet.” It makes hand washing dishes much more enjoyable. Spending time with God is so important to me. Have a blessed week and restful Shabbat this week also. Until next time-BLESSINGS!
Thank you Sara! I've always believed that the orthodox traditions (whether Jewish, Christian, Catholic) are the keepers of the flame and are the guiding lights in our crazy society today. ❤
As a Catholic, my Sunday reset includes Mass at 10:30 - but before that, I rise very early, drink a bracing cup of tea, then feed our animals, as well as water/tend the vegetable garden - then it’s cleaning up myself for church. After is when we eat, often a brunch at a nearby restaurant! The rest of the day is filled with gardening, hiking with the kids/dogs, sometimes a swim at the beach - as Sunday is our day of rest, we try not to do any drudgery that day! A quick grilled dinner is the norm in Summertime! I’m impressed by your cleaning routine- mine is similar, but on various weekdays. A messy house makes me uneasy as well!
I love Sunday reset routines! I’m like you, my mental health suffers when my surroundings are messy and dirty. Your children do a great job of their chores. You must be very proud. Wonderful to have you back as part of my Sundays. ❤
Vinegar, Bon Ami, Mrs. Meyers baking soda, Method Antibacterial, Bio-Clean Hard Water Stain Remover , Lysol wipes and I let product sit for 15 minutes along with color code my microfiber clothes to avoid cross contamination as well. Glad to see your family works as a team on chores. 😊😊😊😊😊
A mold remover will help you out in the bathroom. Bleach doesn’t kill all the spores, and as we know, life finds a way. So a special mold remover should help you out. I agree about the paper towels for the toilet! I am a grandma, and I clean our home. Being retired I have the luxury of cleaning whenever needed, but I remember when I worked as a nurse and had small children and a husband to look after. Cleaning was always a challenge. Happy to have you back. I enjoy your videos so much! I learn things that I share with my grandchildren, as I am quite involved with their Jewish education.
Having a clean home for receiving guests is important; because you want everyone to be comfortable. Having a clean home makes my day. After cleaning up relaxing is so nice. I too like to reward myself; but with a bubble bath, or bath bomb. Maybe a cold drink with ice. Your home is always so nice, and your children will always remember this when they're older.
My Sunday reset routine looks a bit different then yours lol. I have mobility issues so my reset takes me all week as I can't do much at one time. My kiddos are grown so their no help at all lol. I can't tell you how much your videos mean to me. Your calm voice calms my mind and body. I also wear gloves when cleaning as I don't like all the ingredients in some cleaning products on my hands. Just love your bird feeder. I also feed the local birds, also some very skinny stray cats. I'm a real suckered for animals, wild or tame. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Remember you are loved also by so many of us. Your daughters look to be a big help. They are good girls. Have a good and blessed week.
I love your videos so much - thank you for the time you take with them! I'm just starting on a return to observance - my mother is Jewish, but she had a pretty traumatic childhood and fell away from observance when I was still a small child. Your videos helped to motivate me to contact a local rabbi and start exploring what I need to do to return to an observant life, and I thank you so much for that! From now on, whenever I fulfill a mitzvah, a little bit of your kindness will be there with me
Awww thank you so so much for Your kind words and B’Hatzlacha to your way back to your observance ❤️❤️❤️ stay safe and blessed and May H’ bless your path with success xoxoxo
I love that you engage and encourage your children in helping care for your home. It's such a wonderful teaching that many children don't get. You're a amazing woman and very inspiring.❤
Sarah, I too use paper towels to clean the bathroom and anything yucky. When my boys were born, I told my husband that there were more boys than girls and the bathroom, especially the toilet was his job. He happily cleaned the toilet. Boys are so messy!
Thank You for sharing this Sara. And thank you for including us in your prayers. My surroundings most definitely affect my mood. I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder and chaos at home really gets me on edge. The problem is that being anxious makes it harder for me to get motivated, so it can become a vicious cycle that I'm caught in. Making time for prayer, certainly helps. Because there's nothing like knowing that God Is With Us, to remind us of the Power that's in our corner! The most productive method I've found is making sure that washing clothes and food utensils gets done every day, along with keeping things clean. After that, if I can also deal with messiness, then I do. It keeps the pressure on myself down. And that means I can get more done, in the long run.
I love that you include your children in the videos without violatimg their privacy or putting them in the spotlight to profit off of them. Children cant consent to being broadcast on social media and there is a LOT wrong with "family vlog" type content. Yours is the only channel that features children that i watch/ support for this reason.
Sarah I am with you with the paper towel for the toilet. I have OCD so bathrooms are the hardest for me to do but I can’t seem to let my spouse do it to give me a break. Thank you for including us in your prayers. I needed this today and will remember that when I am preparing for Shabbat tomorrow afternoon as I did some of the prep today before watching this video. I like to reward myself with a small coffee after I have done all of my Shabbat prep. I love Sunday reset routines. Thank you for reminding me that I am loved & enough just they way I am.
I love Sunday reset routines! Thank you Dr. Sara for sharing your routine, family and religion. Your videos are truly a bright spot in my RUclips library. 🙏❤✝️
I love Sunday reset routines! I like to use Sunday afternoons to get things together for the week. It's so nice to go to bed on Sunday night ready for whatever gets thrown at me!
I love sunday reset routine! As i’m working full time throughout the week i struggle to complete all my housework so my weekends are clearly filled with laundry, meal prep and cleaning !
Yes, I hate messy house and I don’t like stuff piled everywhere. It’s very uneasy for me but unfortunately, when you have a small space and people need to help you and you can’t do things by yourself anymore you need to learn how to appreciate small things.. I do have a family member that is pretty thorough and cleaning. They just don’t like to put stuff away.
I love Sunday reset routines. Such a sweet soul you are. It’s like I wish we lived on the same street so we could be friends lol. I love the smell of a freshly clean home, the organization that it brings, and the most important thing, the peace you feel, and the spirit that fills the space when the home is in order. Have a beautiful & blessed week Sara! ❤️
You are a blessing! Thank you for sharing your life with us - even though I'm a middle-aged Christian mom, I learn so much from you and am inspired by you. G.od bless you and your family 👪
As one who has to work on Sundays, I appreciate seeing others' Sunday Resets! I am so thankful for your Prayers Sara! ❤❤❤ I love Sunday Reset Routines ❤
Oh my gosh... the moment I see a notification from your channel, it immediately makes my heart so happy because I know I'm about to receive virtual hug for both my body and mind. Blessings to you and your family! And hooray for Sunday resets!❤
Naomi and Leah are wonderful helpers, as well as your Dear Husband! Don't let me leave out your helpful, camera-shy son, either; a Roomba by itself can do just so much -- a good mopping afterwards is the finishing touch! Here in Georgia, USA, I can always find Scrub Daddies/Mommies at Home Depot stores. Your home is so beautiful and clean. I know your birdies are appreciative of their Birdie Buffet! I LOVE SUNDAY RESET ROUTINE! TYSM for another inspirational video.
You are in my prayers too, my brother died in April, and a dear friend died last Sunday. Though my heart aches, it was good to see your video, and I know the reset routine, and I love it, especially from your Sephardic point of view. I saw your last video last week, and want you and your family to have a great week, until the next video, thanks for sharing your life with us!!!
Dear Joyce: Please accept my sincere condolences on hearing of the loss of your dear brother and your dear friend. May G-d grant you peace in the midst of this storm. May their memories be for a blessing! Forever in our hearts! 💞
My sincere condolences. God knows your heartaches and even before that He has surrounded you with love and joy that this life will bring. He will not leave you comfortless.
I Love Sunday reset routines! You are motivating for a good cleaning, so thorough and calm. But, your children working beside you motivates my heart. And her children arise and call her blessed. Thank you.
12:04 i full on squawked like a bird. Setting up the Shabbos table cloth and plastic cover under your weekday tablecloth is GENIUS!!! Such hashgacha protis that I'm seeing this video today.😅 I have been wondering what parts of my Shabbos prep I can 'hack' and how in order to save time. This is amazing 😂
Please, be careful not to mix the bleach and vinegar as it creates a deadly gas. This was my first time watching one of your videos; it was very motivating and peaceful. I love how you are teaching your daughters to take care of themselves as well as their home.
Love the Sunday Reset! Thank you Sara Malka for sharing household management secrets - wonder how you do it all as a working physician. May Hashem bless you and your family! I am an Irish Catholic who studied Judaism in depth at UJ in Los Angeles. I truly admire your total commitment to the Mitzvot!
The Scrub Daddy Power Paste works wonders as an alternative chemical free cleaning product...and not just for bathrooms. The sponge it comes with is not ideally firm enough to scrub down the bathtub but a harder bristle brush from the $1 store gets it done. Happy Cleaning!!
Thank you so much for continuing to be a blessing no matter what. ❤ I was raised in Christianity and Messianic Judaism, even though it's a different religion, your videos encourage me to grow in my faith and my knowledge of Hashem! You're making a difference.
12:40: Your girls are so helpful ❤ Thank you for sharing and motivating me to continue caring for the husband, family and home I am blessed with . We are here in Toronto and I can get my scrub daddy and mommy sponges at Chapters Indigo. I hope they will remain available here.
I've found a strong solution of white vinegar and hot water is great for taking the soap scum off the shower curtain, tub, and bath mat! Do exactly what you did, but use vinegar instead of bleach. It works even better if you use cleaning vinegar, which is 10% acetic acid instead of the usual 6%
I wish I’d had the opportunity to work alongside you! I can tell what an amazing blessing you are to both your patients and your colleagues. I am a stay at home household manager now, but I spent twenty years in healthcare as an RT. You are motivating me to get moving on my own home reset here! As always, thank you for sharing!
Oh, what a delight to watch your Sunday reset! I love Sunday Resets! I was thinking of you, today. I read in our local newspaper that the Santa Fe Jewish community was opening a Chabad house! The building has been in planning for many years by Rabbi Levertov and the community! They will have a grand opening on my birthday! June 11th! As I said, I am not Jewish, but I decided, as my birthday present to myself, I would ask my priest to send them a message of congratulations, and maybe even visit. I shall visit, also! What a wonderful thing to have happen on my special day! You see, when the Holy Faith Episcopal Church began in Santa Fe, they needed funds to build the church, but there were not enough people to raise the needed money. The Jewish community stepped in and helped! That was over 100 years ago, and over the door of our church is a stained glass window with a Star of David in thanks and recognition of the deep ties between our two communities. You have inspired me to do more good deeds and, to use your own words, you, Sara, mean the world to me as well! Thank you for being so wonderful!
Hi Sarah! I am so happy you are back! I love your videos because they make me feel peaceful and loved! It is amazing how love and good energy can be shared through a video! Many blessings. ❤
I am envious of your lifestyle. I was raised Episcopal and I was so sad when the church stopped requiring women to wear hats. Such a little thing and we were taught in confirmation class it was so important and respectful to cover our heads. But it was a bother to some so they quit. Your morning actions reaffirm your heart and soul. I admire you and your family for knowing what is truly important. Thank you for sharing.
I was so happy to know you live in Canada too. I am in BC. I also learned from you that Powerwash can be used for the bathroom and not just for dishes. Brilliant. I love that you start the day with a prayer, to set yourself up in the spirit for the day. I am am a manual wheelchair user, so I am very picky about my reset. The floors must be free of clutter and everything must go back to where it was. Accessibility is a must in my home.
Thank you so much for your prayers. Today I had to tackle the garage and deal with a lot of my dad’s carpentry tools and general clutter. He grew up during the war and never threw anything away. I have been putting this off since he died in August 2021 as I knew how difficult it was going to be for me, I was very close to my father. I am both physically and emotionally exhausted but I feel such a sense of achievement and satisfaction. I love your videos and I am so moved each time by your comments telling me I am appreciated - I have never been told this before and you have no idea how much it means. Thank you!
Sorry to hear about your father. Cleaning and clearing their things after loosing them always brings up emotions and some happy memories. I usually wait as long as I can. I kept some of my grandfathers clothes and wear his sweater on cold mornings. I saved my a few of my dads things and incorporated them into my Knick knacks and I keep a wooden box full of what my brother had on his dresser. I let his daughter see it anytime she wants and will let her have it if she wants it when older.
I love Sunday reset routines! I am so happy to see how similar it is to mine. I, too, dislike using bleach in my cleaning, but when it is necessary, I do use it. I do use reusable cloths for toilet cleaning but understand your squeamishness. So nice to see everyone pitching in so they will take pride in the clean home and their efforts. Thanks for making my day a little better by posting a video.
I am the same way when it comes to cleaning the toilet. You can never be too careful! - Your videos are so enjoyable. With all the chaos in the world, listening to your peacefulness is so refreshing!
I love Sunday reset routines! I love how much you enjoy taking care of the birds. Such a simple act of kindness that blesses both you and them. In my reset routine a non-negotiable is a clean toilet and bed linens. I am in the habit of cleaning the toilet bowl every morning so the weekly cleaning is faster. Nothing says love to a loved one with the stomach flu like a clean toilet bowl!
I love watching your videos. You are always so cheerful and happy, so it gives us all a lift. I am so happy that you love birds as much as my family does. My grandson knew all the birds that landed on their bird feeder when he was three. I don’t even know what they all are! Your daughters are so helpful and do a great job helping you. You aren’t the only one who thought Persil was French. I thought so ever since it was introduced in the States. I stand corrected too! Have a wonderful week Sarah Malle.
I LOVELOVELOVELOVE your videos!! I'm not Jewish, but I so appreciate your content and find it so inspiring! Thank you for remembering us in your prayers and please keep making these wonderful videos!! ❤
I love Sunday reset routines. Sundays are definitely my laundry catch up day. Having a messy house stresses me, so I try to keep things neat all week, but sometimes things get away from me. Thanks for opening up your home to us.
I Love Sunday reset routines! I'm so happy you are back. Your daughters did such a lovely job helping out with their chores! I know you both must be proud of them and your son's mopping was impeccable! Sending you love, friendship, and Blessings for a great week from Memphis, TN!
Ahhhh - MY happy treat is a cup of coffee and a video from you! I am with you on the paper towel for the toilet, just can not get a cloth clean enough after using it to scrub a toilet. I find when I clean that it is a great reminder of how blessed I am; to have the clean water to scrub with, the toilets to clean, and the happy traffic of little people to create the messes! Thank you SO much for the sharing your joy with us!
Sara, I think when we work in medical settings (I’m an NP) we dread cleaning certain things because we know too much about pathogens! 😂 spraying and allowing for “open time” is what we do in my clinic too! ❤
I love Sunday reset routines! And thank you for sharing with us - it always feels such a blessing when you tell us that we are loved and that we are enough just as we are.
My heart soared with joy and tears overflowed when you said you included us in your prayers. I needed this today and give thanks for you! ❣️
Mine too and always at the end. We are so blessed to have this lovely woman in our lives 🌹
Yes!
So nice to see you back! ❤ It seems you have a son, is he responsible for any chores? You only ever mention the two girls
@@hananarnold6379 hi!
Yes we have a sone thank G.od and like showed in the video he mops the floors and do other chores as well 🥰

Hi Rogeh!
I am so happy you are with us!
For me if you are here with an open heart you are my family here in RUclips ❤️❤️
Sarah, I am amazed by your children. They are the pearls of your necklace. God has blessed you and your husband. Nancy

I find praying get me through the day good and not so god days❤️🙏🏻
Only three languages? I have really only one, and caveman French. I’m always in awe at how much Sara does!
Paper towel for toilet is a must for cleaning!😊❤ many hands, make work light and quick! I love Sunday reset.
Dr Sara, as a fellow American, though not Jewish I just want you to know, I love your videos, and I pray daily for your family and the Jewish community. What's happening in Israel saddens my heart, what's happening in our country angers me. We all are God's people, no one better then anyone else. Be safe❤️

Fellow atheist here as well. I love to follow Jewish vlogs as well. Jewish people are so sweet and joyful.
Also an atheist, but Sara is so calming.
I'm an atheist too, but most of my friends are religious in some way, and most of my religious friends are Jewish, though they're not Orthodox :)
I love Sunday resets. Your channel is such a joy. Thank you and your family for sharing with us.
aww thank you Frederica!
I am so happy you are here! Have a blessed week!
Thank you for including us in your prayers, Sara, it's so kind of you. I definitely understand a busy week (or two!) can bring happy chaos into our homes. This week my middle child graduated from high school, with all the attendant activities and celebrations for his classmates, out of town visitors, and many meals shared with loved ones and friends. Today my house needs attention, for sure! I love Sunday reset routines; thank you for sharing yours. You are loved. (PS, I also wear gloves and use toilet paper to clean the toilets!)

Also, thank you for that message at the end letting everyone know they are loved and wanted, that meant a lot ❤
I would love to hear about your childhood growing up orthodox in France! That seems so interesting! I wonder if there’s any differences between the Jewish communities there and here?
I love Sunday reset routines.
Naomi and Leah did wonderful jobs with the beds!
I can’t get over how calming your videos are.
I love Sunday reset routines! I’ve had a week of feeling really under the weather and out of sorts so it was good to spend today doing some cleaning, tidying up and food prep for the week ahead. Feel much better going into the new week knowing I’m organised, have delicious healthier meal options ready to go and most of the big jobs are done. I can quickly run the vacuum around or wipe down the bathroom as needed going forward.
Was lovely to see all the family helping out to get the home ship shape again; many hands make light work. Glad you had some time for yourself first thing, lets you reset yourself! I love looking out into the garden to see the birds, insects and squirrels while I wash my dishes; tonight a squirrel was busy munching away on the berberis and I saw a butterfly.
As an ex-radiographer, I always wear rubber gloves and use disposable wipes to clean my toilet! I bleach the bowl a couple of times a week as well!
Sorry that you couldn’t get that lovely decanter after all.
Much love to you all.
We are cleaning buddies the. Sweet Kirsty ❤️❤️❤️
Stay safe and blessed
Your blue serving dish is SO gorgeous that I gasped! What a pretty present. I love to reward myself with playing computer games when I've finished a chore or a homework assignment (I'm going to be the first woman in my family to earn a bachelor's degree). Love seeing your Sunday reset.
Being the first in your family to get a university degree is *enormous*. It was true for my husband, and it opened a world of possibilities for all of the extended family who came after him. Congratulations on your perseverance; you’re doing a great job at a difficult path. Give yourself a little celebration at the end of each semester, whether it’s a day at a spa or a private picnic with your favorite foods and a great book. You deserve it! ❤
I love Sunday reset routines! I am with you 100% regarding the paper towels to clean the toilet. Using a few paper towels is reasonably eco-friendly because I would wash the toilet cleaning cloths in a separate load of laundry, which would use water, electricity, and detergent.
Leah and Naomi are wonderful workers! And your son’s floors sparkled! You and your husband are wise to teach your children to work. ✡️❤️
I lobe Sunday reset routines
Your daughters did a fabulous job making the beds. My husband helps with household chores too -trash and vacuuming. He also scrubs the toilets. I truly appreciate all of his help. I use my time when I am hand washing dishes to pray. It is my “prayer corner/closet.” It makes hand washing dishes much more enjoyable. Spending time with God is so important to me.
Have a blessed week and restful Shabbat this week also. Until next time-BLESSINGS!
Sara, I take the curtain and liner and toss them both in the washer, with detergent and yes, bleach. But it comes out SPARKLING!!!
Naomi and Leah are great helpers, and also your camera shy son! Thank you for sharing your life with us, and know that you are loved as well.
I love sunday reset routines. Thank you for showing your routine on sunday. Stay healthy and be blessed. Lovely Greetings
Thank you Sara! I've always believed that the orthodox traditions (whether Jewish, Christian, Catholic) are the keepers of the flame and are the guiding lights in our crazy society today. ❤
As a Catholic, my Sunday reset includes Mass at 10:30 - but before that, I rise very early, drink a bracing cup of tea, then feed our animals, as well as water/tend the vegetable garden - then it’s cleaning up myself for church. After is when we eat, often a brunch at a nearby restaurant! The rest of the day is filled with gardening, hiking with the kids/dogs, sometimes a swim at the beach - as Sunday is our day of rest, we try not to do any drudgery that day! A quick grilled dinner is the norm in Summertime! I’m impressed by your cleaning routine- mine is similar, but on various weekdays. A messy house makes me uneasy as well!
I love Sunday reset routines! I’m like you, my mental health suffers when my surroundings are messy and dirty. Your children do a great job of their chores. You must be very proud.
Wonderful to have you back as part of my Sundays. ❤
Vinegar, Bon Ami, Mrs. Meyers baking soda, Method Antibacterial, Bio-Clean Hard Water Stain Remover , Lysol wipes and I let product sit for 15 minutes along with color code my microfiber clothes to avoid cross contamination as well. Glad to see your family works as a team on chores. 😊😊😊😊😊
What good helpers you are, Leah & Naomi!!! I know your parents appreciate all of your help!!! ♥️♥️🥰🥰🌺🌺
Thank you so much!
A mold remover will help you out in the bathroom. Bleach doesn’t kill all the spores, and as we know, life finds a way. So a special mold remover should help you out.
I agree about the paper towels for the toilet! I am a grandma, and I clean our home. Being retired I have the luxury of cleaning whenever needed, but I remember when I worked as a nurse and had small children and a husband to look after. Cleaning was always a challenge. Happy to have you back. I enjoy your videos so much! I learn things that I share with my grandchildren, as I am quite involved with their Jewish education.
Having a clean home for receiving guests is important; because you want everyone to be comfortable. Having a clean home makes my day. After cleaning up relaxing is so nice. I too like to reward myself; but with a bubble bath, or bath bomb. Maybe a cold drink with ice. Your home is always so nice, and your children will always remember this when they're older.
My Sunday reset routine looks a bit different then yours lol. I have mobility issues so my reset takes me all week as I can't do much at one time. My kiddos are grown so their no help at all lol. I can't tell you how much your videos mean to me. Your calm voice calms my mind and body. I also wear gloves when cleaning as I don't like all the ingredients in some cleaning products on my hands. Just love your bird feeder. I also feed the local birds, also some very skinny stray cats. I'm a real suckered for animals, wild or tame. Thank you for sharing your life with us. Remember you are loved also by so many of us. Your daughters look to be a big help. They are good girls. Have a good and blessed week.
Sarah your towel folding is beautiful
I cannot start my day without making my bed! Your daughters do a beautiful job!
Thank you so much! We are bed making sisters!!!
Todah rabah Leah and Naomi
I love your videos so much - thank you for the time you take with them! I'm just starting on a return to observance - my mother is Jewish, but she had a pretty traumatic childhood and fell away from observance when I was still a small child. Your videos helped to motivate me to contact a local rabbi and start exploring what I need to do to return to an observant life, and I thank you so much for that! From now on, whenever I fulfill a mitzvah, a little bit of your kindness will be there with me
Awww thank you so so much for
Your kind words and B’Hatzlacha to your way back to your observance ❤️❤️❤️ stay safe and blessed and May H’ bless your path with success xoxoxo
Sydney Cummings is great! I love her workouts as well.
I love that you engage and encourage your children in helping care for your home. It's such a wonderful teaching that many children don't get. You're a amazing woman and very inspiring.❤
Sarah, I too use paper towels to clean the bathroom and anything yucky. When my boys were born, I told my husband that there were more boys than girls and the bathroom, especially the toilet was his job. He happily cleaned the toilet. Boys are so messy!
I love Sunday reset routines! Hi Sara Malka! That toothbrush station is awesome! Your kids are so helpful! 😊Have a great week! 🌺
hi Carol!
this toothbrush station is AMAZING!!!
and for 20$ Canadian it is so wroth it!
If you buy it let me know!
xoxoxo
Thank You for sharing this Sara. And thank you for including us in your prayers.
My surroundings most definitely affect my mood. I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder and chaos at home really gets me on edge. The problem is that being anxious makes it harder for me to get motivated, so it can become a vicious cycle that I'm caught in.
Making time for prayer, certainly helps. Because there's nothing like knowing that God Is With Us, to remind us of the Power that's in our corner!
The most productive method I've found is making sure that washing clothes and food utensils gets done every day, along with keeping things clean. After that, if I can also deal with messiness, then I do. It keeps the pressure on myself down. And that means I can get more done, in the long run.
Your daughters are such tremendous helpers. They are a blessing!
I love that you include your children in the videos without violatimg their privacy or putting them in the spotlight to profit off of them. Children cant consent to being broadcast on social media and there is a LOT wrong with "family vlog" type content. Yours is the only channel that features children that i watch/ support for this reason.
Method AntiBac is still hard to find in my neck of the woods! Thank you for praying for us, Dr. Sara 💚 I had a happy cry.
Awww 🥹🥹🥹I love happy cry !!
Sarah I am with you with the paper towel for the toilet. I have OCD so bathrooms are the hardest for me to do but I can’t seem to let my spouse do it to give me a break. Thank you for including us in your prayers. I needed this today and will remember that when I am preparing for Shabbat tomorrow afternoon as I did some of the prep today before watching this video. I like to reward myself with a small coffee after I have done all of my Shabbat prep. I love Sunday reset routines. Thank you for reminding me that I am loved & enough just they way I am.
I love Sunday reset routines! Thank you Dr. Sara for sharing your routine, family and religion. Your videos are truly a bright spot in my RUclips library. 🙏❤✝️
I love Sunday reset routines!
I like to use Sunday afternoons to get things together for the week. It's so nice to go to bed on Sunday night ready for whatever gets thrown at me!
I love sunday reset routine! As i’m working full time throughout the week i struggle to complete all my housework so my weekends are clearly filled with laundry, meal prep and cleaning !
I am with you Clarisse! Team reset!
Yes, I hate messy house and I don’t like stuff piled everywhere. It’s very uneasy for me but unfortunately, when you have a small space and people need to help you and you can’t do things by yourself anymore you need to learn how to appreciate small things.. I do have a family member that is pretty thorough and cleaning. They just don’t like to put stuff away.
I love Sunday reset routines. Such a sweet soul you are. It’s like I wish we lived on the same street so we could be friends lol. I love the smell of a freshly clean home, the organization that it brings, and the most important thing, the peace you feel, and the spirit that fills the space when the home is in order. Have a beautiful & blessed week Sara! ❤️
You are a blessing! Thank you for sharing your life with us - even though I'm a middle-aged Christian mom, I learn so much from you and am inspired by you. G.od bless you and your family 👪
As one who has to work on Sundays, I appreciate seeing others' Sunday Resets! I am so thankful for your Prayers Sara! ❤❤❤
I love Sunday Reset Routines ❤
I love Sunday reset routines! My non-negotiable is don't bother me until I've had my coffee!
Oh my gosh... the moment I see a notification from your channel, it immediately makes my heart so happy because I know I'm about to receive virtual hug for both my body and mind. Blessings to you and your family! And hooray for Sunday resets!❤
I love Sunday reset routines; that includes watching you ❤ Thank you Sara for sharing yourself with us. Grafted In✡
Naomi and Leah are wonderful helpers, as well as your Dear Husband! Don't let me leave out your helpful, camera-shy son, either; a Roomba by itself can do just so much -- a good mopping afterwards is the finishing touch!
Here in Georgia, USA, I can always find Scrub Daddies/Mommies at Home Depot stores.
Your home is so beautiful and clean. I know your birdies are appreciative of their Birdie Buffet!
I LOVE SUNDAY RESET ROUTINE!
TYSM for another inspirational video.
You are in my prayers too, my brother died in April, and a dear friend died last Sunday. Though my heart aches, it was good to see your video, and I know the reset routine, and I love it, especially from your Sephardic point of view. I saw your last video last week, and want you and your family to have a great week, until the next video, thanks for sharing your life with us!!!
Dear Joyce: Please accept my sincere condolences on hearing of the loss of your dear brother and your dear friend. May G-d grant you peace in the midst of this storm. May their memories be for a blessing! Forever in our hearts! 💞
My sincere condolences. God knows your heartaches and even before that He has surrounded you with love and joy that this life will bring. He will not leave you comfortless.
The girls are a gift ! They are also lucky to have awesome parents . Naomi and Leaha did an exceptional job .
I Love Sunday reset routines! You are motivating for a good cleaning, so thorough and calm. But, your children working beside you motivates my heart. And her children arise and call her blessed. Thank you.
Your family is so precious Sara! Your girls are following in their mommas footsteps. How beautiful!
12:04 i full on squawked like a bird. Setting up the Shabbos table cloth and plastic cover under your weekday tablecloth is GENIUS!!!
Such hashgacha protis that I'm seeing this video today.😅 I have been wondering what parts of my Shabbos prep I can 'hack' and how in order to save time. This is amazing 😂
Please, be careful not to mix the bleach and vinegar as it creates a deadly gas. This was my first time watching one of your videos; it was very motivating and peaceful. I love how you are teaching your daughters to take care of themselves as well as their home.
Love the Sunday Reset! Thank you Sara Malka for sharing household management secrets - wonder how you do it all as a working physician. May Hashem bless you and your family! I am an Irish Catholic who studied Judaism in depth at UJ in Los Angeles. I truly admire your total commitment to the Mitzvot!
The Scrub Daddy Power Paste works wonders as an alternative chemical free cleaning product...and not just for bathrooms. The sponge it comes with is not ideally firm enough to scrub down the bathtub but a harder bristle brush from the $1 store gets it done. Happy Cleaning!!
And unfortunately very hard to get in Canada at a reasonable price. 😔
@@dmbr111 that's a real bummer, because the product is so great 🥲
So happy you're back! I love your Sunday reset routine.
Thank you so much for continuing to be a blessing no matter what. ❤ I was raised in Christianity and Messianic Judaism, even though it's a different religion, your videos encourage me to grow in my faith and my knowledge of Hashem! You're making a difference.
That blue platter you received as an anniversary gift is absolutely stunning!
12:40: Your girls are so helpful ❤ Thank you for sharing and motivating me to continue caring for the husband, family and home I am blessed with . We are here in Toronto and I can get my scrub daddy and mommy sponges at Chapters Indigo. I hope they will remain available here.
aww they are lucky to have you!
as per scrub daddy's we do not have them at our local indigo :( the search goes on!
have a blessed week my friend!
I've found a strong solution of white vinegar and hot water is great for taking the soap scum off the shower curtain, tub, and bath mat! Do exactly what you did, but use vinegar instead of bleach. It works even better if you use cleaning vinegar, which is 10% acetic acid instead of the usual 6%
I wish I’d had the opportunity to work alongside you! I can tell what an amazing blessing you are to both your patients and your colleagues. I am a stay at home household manager now, but I spent twenty years in healthcare as an RT. You are motivating me to get moving on my own home reset here! As always, thank you for sharing!
Oh, what a delight to watch your Sunday reset! I love Sunday Resets!
I was thinking of you, today. I read in our local newspaper that the Santa Fe Jewish community was opening a Chabad house! The building has been in planning for many years by Rabbi Levertov and the community! They will have a grand opening on my birthday! June 11th! As I said, I am not Jewish, but I decided, as my birthday present to myself, I would ask my priest to send them a message of congratulations, and maybe even visit. I shall visit, also! What a wonderful thing to have happen on my special day! You see, when the Holy Faith Episcopal Church began in Santa Fe, they needed funds to build the church, but there were not enough people to raise the needed money. The Jewish community stepped in and helped! That was over 100 years ago, and over the door of our church is a stained glass window with a Star of David in thanks and recognition of the deep ties between our two communities.
You have inspired me to do more good deeds and, to use your own words, you, Sara, mean the world to me as well! Thank you for being so wonderful!
Hi Sarah! I am so happy you are back! I love your videos because they make me feel peaceful and loved! It is amazing how love and good energy can be shared through a video! Many blessings. ❤
I am envious of your lifestyle. I was raised Episcopal and I was so sad when the church stopped requiring women to wear hats. Such a little thing and we were taught in confirmation class it was so important and respectful to cover our heads. But it was a bother to some so they quit. Your morning actions reaffirm your heart and soul. I admire you and your family for knowing what is truly important. Thank you for sharing.
I was so happy to know you live in Canada too. I am in BC. I also learned from you that Powerwash can be used for the bathroom and not just for dishes. Brilliant. I love that you start the day with a prayer, to set yourself up in the spirit for the day. I am am a manual wheelchair user, so I am very picky about my reset. The floors must be free of clutter and everything must go back to where it was. Accessibility is a must in my home.
Sara Malka you are loved by thousands ❤😊
Thank you so much for your prayers. Today I had to tackle the garage and deal with a lot of my dad’s carpentry tools and general clutter. He grew up during the war and never threw anything away. I have been putting this off since he died in August 2021 as I knew how difficult it was going to be for me, I was very close to my father. I am both physically and emotionally exhausted but I feel such a sense of achievement and satisfaction. I love your videos and I am so moved each time by your comments telling me I am appreciated - I have never been told this before and you have no idea how much it means. Thank you!
May G-d comfort you and bring you peace now and moving forward. May your beloved Fathers memory be for a blessing! Forever in our Hearts! 💕
Sorry to hear about your father. Cleaning and clearing their things after loosing them always brings up emotions and some happy memories. I usually wait as long as I can. I kept some of my grandfathers clothes and wear his sweater on cold mornings. I saved my a few of my dads things and incorporated them into my Knick knacks and I keep a wooden box full of what my brother had on his dresser. I let his daughter see it anytime she wants and will let her have it if she wants it when older.
I love Sunday reset routines! I am so happy to see how similar it is to mine. I, too, dislike using bleach in my cleaning, but when it is necessary, I do use it. I do use reusable cloths for toilet cleaning but understand your squeamishness. So nice to see everyone pitching in so they will take pride in the clean home and their efforts. Thanks for making my day a little better by posting a video.
I am the same way when it comes to cleaning the toilet. You can never be too careful!
- Your videos are so enjoyable. With all the chaos in the world, listening to your peacefulness is so refreshing!
Oh thank you!
I clean my toilet the same. I use a bit of toilet tissue because using a cloth seems unsanitary.
I love Sunday reset routines 😊 Good job to your children for helping, they did great 👍
I love Sunday reset routines! I love how much you enjoy taking care of the birds. Such a simple act of kindness that blesses both you and them. In my reset routine a non-negotiable is a clean toilet and bed linens. I am in the habit of cleaning the toilet bowl every morning so the weekly cleaning is faster. Nothing says love to a loved one with the stomach flu like a clean toilet bowl!
I love watching your videos. You are always so cheerful and happy, so it gives us all a lift. I am so happy that you love birds as much as my family does. My grandson knew all the birds that landed on their bird feeder when he was three. I don’t even know what they all are! Your daughters are so helpful and do a great job helping you. You aren’t the only one who thought Persil was French. I thought so ever since it was introduced in the States. I stand corrected too! Have a wonderful week Sarah Malle.
Thank you so much for this video. I love the Sunday reset idea. It has given me so many ideas.
I Love Sunday Reset Routines! Thanks so much for the motivation!
I clean my plastic shower curtain in the washer then I shake it out and hang back in the shower to dry…I Love Sunday routines
I love Sunday reset routines! It is so heartwarming to be included in your prayers. ❤
I LOVE SUNDAY RESET ROUTINES
Yay! Thank you!
I LOVELOVELOVELOVE your videos!! I'm not Jewish, but I so appreciate your content and find it so inspiring! Thank you for remembering us in your prayers and please keep making these wonderful videos!! ❤
I love Sunday reset routines. Sundays are definitely my laundry catch up day. Having a messy house stresses me, so I try to keep things neat all week, but sometimes things get away from me. Thanks for opening up your home to us.
I love your voice Sarah. It’s so soothing and calm. I’m not Jewish, but I absolutely love learning about your customs. ❤
Naomi and Leah did a terrific job with the beds!
I’ve been having a very rough day and seeing this video in my feed was such a comfort. Thank you as always for your lovely videos ❤
May you have a better and brighter day tomorrow!
I love Sunday reset routines. And the girls did a fantastic job making the beds.
I Love Sunday reset routines! I'm so happy you are back. Your daughters did such a lovely job helping out with their chores! I know you both must be proud of them and your son's mopping was impeccable! Sending you love, friendship, and Blessings for a great week from Memphis, TN!
Ahhhh - MY happy treat is a cup of coffee and a video from you! I am with you on the paper towel for the toilet, just can not get a cloth clean enough after using it to scrub a toilet. I find when I clean that it is a great reminder of how blessed I am; to have the clean water to scrub with, the toilets to clean, and the happy traffic of little people to create the messes! Thank you SO much for the sharing your joy with us!
Sara, I think when we work in medical settings (I’m an NP) we dread cleaning certain things because we know too much about pathogens! 😂 spraying and allowing for “open time” is what we do in my clinic too! ❤
I love Sunday reset routines. I’m sick on bed with the flu and your sweet kind voice has given me so much comfort. Thank you.
Ohhhh ❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹 have a speedy recovery my friend
I love Sunday reset routines! And thank you for sharing with us - it always feels such a blessing when you tell us that we are loved and that we are enough just as we are.
