Hi! In this video, I am sharing with you the things I wish I knew as a new convert about the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah and how it is observed as an Orthodox Sephardic Jew.
We cover the basics about Hanukkah (also spelled Chanukah) such as the history behind it and the reason we are celebrating, as well as the practical aspects of what mitzvot are performed (and how, and when) as part of Hanukkah celebrations.
If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to post in the comments under the video. :)

Happy Chanukkah!
Thank you, same to you! 😊🕎
Happy HANUKKAH.
The same to you! 🤗
Happy Chanukkah! 🔯 Thanks for your amazing and informative vids (especially for us converts). Excited to say I’m converting Reform this week. Also started attending Chabad minyan and services and am spiritually satisfied. Keep up the great vids!
Same to you, George! I am happy to hear that you enjoy my content and find it helpful! 😊
Word of advice; run away from Reform "conversion" and seek out an orthodox one. "Reform" is not Judaism. They will corrupt your mind with their evil ideas.
Happy Hanukkah! 🕎✡🧀

@@jayellealafi5797 Have a beautiful and blessed Hanukkah.
Thank you, Jayelle! I always learn so much from your videos. ❤️✡️
I'm so glad! 😊
Dear Janelle!!! You are doing a wonderful job!!! I wish my children will have the same interest in leading Jewish lifestyle since they are Jewish!
I am just learning and have nothing to start Hanukkah other than white tea lights
Hi Micah, I'm not a Rabbi, but tea lights sound good to me if you have nothing else.
The mitzvah is in the act of lighting. Good for you, btw! 😊💗
Thank you for taking the time to make this wonderful video. I appreciate you.
You are so welcome! 😊 I appreciate you, too!
Happy Hanukkah, Jayelle. I look forward to watching this video tomorrow.🌸🌸
Same to you, Gilbertine! I hope you enjoy it. 🤗💗
Thank you for this informative video! It is very helpful. Learning how to celebrate each holiday can be so daunting and overwhelming, so I really appreciate that you take so much time and effort to make these videos!
Congratulations on expecting!!! I'm so excited for you! Baruch Hashem! Praying for you and your baby to have a safe, easy and smooth pregnancy; and for a healthy baby. :)
I agree on the deep fat fried foods- I don't understand why that became a tradition, it is so unhealthy. There are so many ways to incorporate healthy oils into every meal. It is so sad how these days people don't realize that what we eat directly effects our health. It is lovely to see that you and your family do eat healthy and lead by example! People need to see this more.
I love family videos at the end- so cute.
Thank you for another great video. Happy Chanukah. G-d bless you and your family.
Hi Crystal, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm slowly working through your list. 😁
Yes, #5, b'H! Thank you for the well-wishes!
I'm with you on the oils, I do love me some oils and fats, but I don't use any refined seed oils in my kitchen, only butter, olive oil, avocado oil, and of course whole foods like fish, nuts, avocado, etc.
Happy Chanukah to you and yours, as well! 🤗💗
Thanks 🎉 and thanks for reposting
You're welcome, I'm sorry about the confusion. 😊
Jayelle, I learn so much from all of your videos!! I may have mentioned in another video but I'm planning on moving to an Orthodox Community next year (G-d willing). I am observing Hannukah this year. Your Hannukah video is so helpful!
Thank you! ❤
By the way, your daughter was hilarious at the very end! 🥰
Jeanie, I'm so glad, BH, that's wonderful! 🤗
Happy Hanukkah my dear.
Thank you, Avital! 😊💕
Happy HANUKKAH .I truly love your videos and your religious journey your children are beautiful
Thank you Susan! I am glad to hear you enjoy my videos. 😊
GREAT VIDEO! You are an excellent teacher!
I try, with Hashem's help. 😊
Thank you so much for your great work and help. May G-d bless you and your family always. I am learning so much from you.
Thank you and happy Hanukkah to all!
You're very welcome, Julio, I'm glad my videos are helpful to you!
Happy Hanukkah to you as well. 😊💗
Exciting 😄 🕎❤
Thank you.
You're welcome! 😊
Nice
Hello I liked the video, and was wondering where you got your Jewish calendar?
I got my calendar from the local Chabad, they usually do one for our city every year. So you could, if you have Chabad around you, ask them if they have a calendar with halachic times.
I'm sure they'd be happy to give you one if they have for a small donation.
If that isn't an option for you, alternatively you can go to this website, Hebcal www.hebcal.com put in your location, (necessary for accurate times) and then you can customize a calendar to include all the info you want. It can then be downloaded, printed, synced to a digital calendar app, etc.
It's not beautiful or aesthetic, but it certainly is practical!
Hope this helps you!
HAPPY HANUKKAH TO You and Your Family!! Have you made Cottage Cheese Donuts or any other type in an Air Fryer?
I have not tried that! But it sounds interesting! 😊 Have you??
Janelle!!! Menorah has only seven branches. We use Chanukah!!! We are not allowed to hold in the home seven branched menorah since it’s the menorah ( 7 candle holders) supposed to be only in the Temple.
I was born/raised Orthodox though I'm not now. A few things I always wondered: how do ppl afford the lifestyle, especially if you have sons (kosher tefillin cost $$$!) And yeshiva/ dayschool. And kosher food especially during Pesach? And that's just some of it.
Also, diabetes runs in many Jewish families..how do frum diabetics manage when much Ashkenazi Jewish food is so high-sugar/high-carb? What if you have to be grain-free? During Pesach you must eat matza, at least a tiny amt.
You might want to look at Berel Solomon's video talking about the Jewish circular economy. Basically, Jews will mostly use Jewish companies for all their needs- thus providing an income for the people in their community. Plus the charity situation...all organizations that help disadvantaged families...there's a lot more to unpack on the how's and why's but those are just the tip of the iceberg. And of course Emunah and bitachon help more than all the above !
Mindset is part of it, I believe children are a source of blessing, not a burdensome expense. The money is always there somehow. 😊
Jesus loves you!
You mention dairy as a in important food. What would you do in lieu of this if you’re allergic to dairy?
So I'm confused, if you light a candle, one per night for eight days, where does the 44 candles come from?
We don't light one per night. We light 1 plus shamash ( 2 total) on the first night, 2 plus shamash (3 total) on the 2nd night, 3 plus shamash (4 total) on the 3rd night, and so on until we reach 8 nights and all nine branches of the Chanukiah are lit. Hope this helps. 😊
When lighting my menorah, should the oil catch fire and fill the entire service of the glass cup? 😮 Please advise if this is correct as this is what is happening to me.
Are you using a wick? The entire surface of the oil should not be catching fire, no, that could be dangerous.
@@jayellealafi5797 i didn't think this was correct thank you for confirming.. yes I am using a wick, I did not initially purchase the metal tubbing that goes around the wick though, so hopefully when that comes in it will solve this problem
OUD OU UD U
What do all these diffrent things mean, i know it means their kosher but still.
Hi, so the OU symbol is the kosher certification of the Orthodox Union. OU with a D means its dairy, OU with a P means it's kosher for Passover. 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 Okay, Thanks!
No I haven't. I watched Sonya's Prep channel Channukkah Prep Donuts Lakes Cocoa bomb recipe video
Sonya is so talented! 😊 Love her!
How old were you when you converted
23 when I started, 27 when I finished. 😊
Madam iam Christian but , i following jews. I don't know low and principals please tell about jews system
I am happy to help as much as I can. Do you have a specific question that you want me to address?
Ok Thankyou madam
Your Instagram and Facebook madam
How have you been deceived? Why have you turn to what has been fulfilled to what has finished rejecting???
I answer that question in the video.
I am a born again Christian and I celebrate Hanukkah not Christmas because the Lord Jesus spoke to me about doing that instead of Xmas
which is a pagan atrocity dressed up as Christian festival it is not.
It's so hard for me to take you seriously with those glasses 🤣 my niece wears them to but I don't get it 🤪🤣
Jesus is the Messiah
Jesus was a Jew. And the bible is a fairy tale.
What made you choose to be a Sephardic Jew instead of an Ashkenazi Jew?
A woman takes the tradition of the husband when she marries. My husband is Sephardic/Edot hamizrach.
It’s her personal choice. She’s making a rational decision knowing what’s best for her.
Latkes!!!
