I love forgiveness. We just returned from our second Israel trip 2 weeks ago. It was such a wonderful trip, and I love the jewish people even more. We took our two youngest kids aged 3 and 6, I love that it’s so kid friendly in Israel.
I love forgiveness. I find your videos both educational and comforting. It is wonderful how you share all the facets of your life as an Orthodox Jew. It is through understanding of each other's beliefs we can learn to become more accepting and tolerant of each other . This was a beautiful video. Please continue to share your life with us.
Shalom sister! This video made me really emotional and brought me to tears. This holiday, the rituals, everything about your way of life actually, is so so beautiful. I’m muslim, we actually have a word for believers who live this way ‘ahl al-kitaab’ which translates to ‘people of the book’, because you truly live by the book and live to serve God and people with the purest intentions. I’m going to keep you and your family in my prayers :)
Israel is the biblical and historical homeland of the Children of Israel - The Jews, given to them by HaShem and it will always belong to the Jewish people.
Two years ago I did some family history research and discovered I have Portuguese Sephardic Jewish heritage on my father’s side. My ancestor was sent to Australia as a convict, continued to practice his faith, but he married a gentile and that was the end of the line. Thank you for sharing these videos as you are giving me an insight and connection into my heritage. 💕
I love forgiveness 🥰 my doctor has said I am medically able to fast this year after health issues last year, so I will have to make myself a couple of oranges and lemons with cloves to take to synagogue with me! I will be in the prayer services in the morning and then between Yizkor and Neilah I am volunteering to lead a women's study group 💖 G'mar chatima tova and I have done anything that merits an apology, I ask forgiveness.
sweet Ronan: you are AMAZING!!! I am so proud to be part of your life and even "prouder" ( i know it is not english!). that i can call you my friend : you are so special to me and i will wish you a shana tova u metuka v'gmar chatima tova:) and a meaningful fast. xoxoxo
Your videos remind me of my grandpa who used to take me to the synagogue to pray to God before he passed away my grandpa was a Jewish but he married my grandma who's a Christian so I have Romanian so happy to have jewish in my family
I ❤️ forgiveness. I'm going to be honest and say that I've had to forgive people who have never acknowledged the pain they caused me, and it took a while to get there. For a time it felt like forgiving gave them a free pass. What I came to understand was that carrying the hurt around actually hurt me more. Forgiveness lifted that weight from my heart. Thank you for another beautiful video, I love learning about your life as a Jewish woman. 🕊
I'm not Jewish, but i have great respect for your culture and religion. In the last few years, I've read a lot about Judaism, and I understand why you still practice it and believe in it, often with sacrifices and suffering, both personal and communal. I understand how difficult and demanding it is to be an observant Jew, a shomer Torah,. I'm familiar with Ashkenazi Orthodox Jews and I'm glad to see that a lot of their Sefardic brothers are also frum and keep Shabbos. I wish you and your family the best and may G-d always protect you. Chag Sameach Sukkos.
❤ I Love Forgiveness ❤️ Thank you for your wonderful teachings and for including us, giving a glimpse of your Orthodox Sephardic Jewish life! Fantastic! So meaningful to me! I became a Christian as an adult; I love my faith and the Jewish roots! I was not blessed to grow up around Jewish people but I found books to read and continue to learn about and cherish the many beautiful teachings!so finding you is a true joy to my heart! Thank you again for sharing and including me 🥰 🤗 🤍🤍🤍
I love forgiveness. Forgiveness is so freeing and allows us to move forward in our lives full of love and hope for a better year. Thank you, my friend, for sharing your children, your beliefs, your home and food with us. Blessed be.
I love forgiveness. I am a college student and will be staying over at my local chabad and experiencing the orthodox observance of Yom Kippur for the first time this year as I was raised reform. Your video was so peaceful and informative as always and I feel more prepared for Tuesday night. I hope you have a meaningful fast.
I didn't know that sticking cloves into oranges and lemons is a Yom Kippur custom! My family has been doing this for years for Christmas! We always have a big platter of lemons, orages and tangerines with cloves arranged on them into pretty patterns, as a Christmas decoration. Thanks for being there and showing us all of these things. I'm binge-watching your videos and I'm amazed. Have a blessed day
That was another very interesting video. I love learning all about these things. I visited a very old synagogue in Fes when I was travelling in Morocco. I was wearing a jellaba in Morocco and had my hair covered as I didn't want to stand out too much as a foreigner! I learned a lot about Muslim customs there but not so much about Jews so it's great to hear all about it. I would love to hear about how and why you immerse yourselves and how you dress modestly. Thank you to your girls for demonstrating how to make the citrus fruits and cloves to help with fasting. I'm going to try that when I fast. I love forgiveness.😊
thank you so so much Rebecca: your trip to Morocco seemed to have been so rich! I love my trip to Morocco too: unforgettable memories:) thank you for being here and i will wish you shana tova u metuka v'gmar chatima tova:)
I love forgiveness. Thank you for showing me, a Catholic Italian guy, your wonderful traditions for your holiday. You are a wonderful person and bless you and your family.
I love forgiveness. What a wonderful uplifting channel you have. I am not Jewish but I am really enjoying the journey of learning your traditions. Thank you for sharing your Family with me.
I love forgiveness ❤️❤️👍🏻I wanted to ask if it is among your plans to do a mukbang video? We'd be very pleased to see such content from you with the arabic-orientalist food you make 😊💯 God bless you 🙏🙏
I'm a southern, United Methodist, Afro-American, My first class in college, introduced me to your religion. After the class, I forgot. Thanks for opening your home, your heart and you practicing your religion. I will watch your podcast as long as you make them.
Hi TreVor! Thank you for your kindness and being part of the solution to bring our world closer together and living in harmony with our differences and similarities ❤️
I love forgiveness when I was a child we used to make those orange and clove as gifts for our mum for Mother’s Day it was the 80’s and we didn’t have much but she loved the thought that we made her something thank you for sharing your world with us ❤❤
You've not hurt me. I valued your videos, the effort and time you give. I'm not Jewish, therefore your patients is appreciated. Yes to video about the Mikvah. The more I learn about this ritual the more I want to learn. It fascinates me. I love forgiveness.
I LOVE forgiveness! Such a beautiful video! Thank you for being you. Your son is such a young man now, how wonderful to see him praying. I would love to see a video about modest dressing and the mikveh. I hope you have an easy fast and I wish you and your family many blessings during this holy season. 🥰❤🙏
awww sweet Karen! Our son is now 13 and he grew a full 12 inches in the last 3 months! he is now officially taller than mommy and daddy! ( i am 5'9 and hubby is almost 6'!!! BH) so you are right: he grew so much BH! i will wish you shana tova u metuka v'gmar chatima tova:) thank YOU for being here! xoxoxoxo
Bonjour très chère Sara, Comment ne pas te pardonner !? Tu es la bonté incarnée 💕 Passer autant de temps à expliquer les rites du Yom Kippour, vos traditions familiales, les cérémonies religieuses, les repas… partager ainsi ta famille, c’est une belle action autant pédagogique que spirituelle. Je souffre d’une sciatique et je m’endormais en écoutant ta voix et j’ai été saisie par le son que je croyais d’un bébé qui pleurait…. C’était le Shifar 😂… aussi j’ai regardé deux fois la vidéo !! 😂 Tu me distrais de ma douleur (même si j’ai des antidouleurs puissants). Tu es un Amour Sara 🥰 J’aime le Pardon, il fait grandir l’humain. Prends bien soin de toi ! Et oui, je veux bien découvrir les rites des bains … encore des surprises pour moi ☺️ À bientôt ! 🌸🌸🌸
ma douce Christine, je prie que D.ieu t'offre un soulagement permanent pour que tu puisses semer encore plus ton don de partage , d'amour et de joie. je t'envois pliens de bisous virtuels ma cherie:) xoxoxox et oui avec plaisir pour les videos sur le mikveh et l'habillement
I love forgiveness. Would love a video on modest dress. I'd describe myself as a non-denominational Christian and find myself drawn to anything that describes the modesty practices by the Abrahamic faiths. I find head covering to be something I keep coming back to as a practice. Thank you for these videos. It is always helpful to see how other sisters of faith live
I love forgiveness. Every year for Christmas I'd ask my mom what she wanted, and every year she'd say an orange or lemon spiked with cloves.. when I'd ask her why, she'd never answer me, she just said that's what she wanted, and I would make her one of each.. thank you for explaining this for me.. she just passed a year ago and I still made her one of each, and I think I will continue to do this in memory of her.. many blessings to you and your family... 💜💐
I love forgiveness! Thank you again for everything that you do! It never fails to astound me when I see where certain Catholic rituals came from (like the striking of the breast while praying for forgiveness). It’s like following bread crumbs back to the true source, and my heart swells with love and gratitude for HaShem. He has certainly worked through you as you have been my angel in helping with my conversion. Yom tov to you and your adorable family! Love, hugs and prayers 💚🙏
I love forgiveness. Thank you for sharing such a special moment. The sweet way in which you educate and inspire people is so special. The more I learn about the Sephardic culture through your experiences, the more I realize how deeply important honoring and respecting the diversity of this world is for all of us. I hope you have a blessed day. ❤️
I love forgiveness!! Forgiveness is such an important part of my Christian walk. It is humbling and often overlooked step in living a peaceful and God centered life. Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us!!
Lovely video as always! for me it was so interesting to see another faith/culture doing the oranges with the cloves. Here in Sweden it's a really common thing to see during December for the lead up to Christmas, we ad a read ribbon and then hang them up somewhere, often a window. the smell is so lovely and really get you in a festive mood! 😊
hi Minna! thank you so much fir sharing your tradition with me :) I LOVE learning and i LOVE how we have similar use of items for a different reason! stay safe and blessed :)
Seeing the girls asking for forgiveness, brought tears to my eyes . Hugging and so sincere. Beautiful. I wish I had a relationship with my sister , your girls are lovely . I Love forgiveness.
I love forgiveness 😊 I can not express enough how blessed I feel to have found this channel, such joy and peace feels my heart and soul. Thank you for sharing your time with all here! God bless all here 🎊
Wishing you and your family G'mar Chatima Tova....a year ahead filled with Bracha, Nachat,Parnassa, Simcha,Hatzlacha,and all good things... Tzom Kal...lots of love from Israel
I love forgiveness. Thank you so much for your videos. I come from Sephardic heritage but was not raised Jewish. It has been a comfort to learn about my roots with you.
Thank you Sarah. We always also wore white and sneakers for The holiday. I love the prayers of Yom Kippur... the prayers concentrate on how wonderful The Almighty is and how we exhalt in loving him and acknowledging him as the Almighty and how we are honored to serve him. Thank you and belated New Year. :) is
I love forgiveness. I often wonder during our prayers of confession, and the assurance of the Lord’s forgiveness during Protestant Christian worship, whether we all truly mean business. A whole day to focus on our shortcomings, and our Maker’s love on Yom Kippur is a very wise custom. I’m comforted by words from Psalm 103, “ He knows our frame : He remembers that we are dust”
I love forgiveness. I think your son did a beautiful pattern with the cloves. It must smell incredibly good when you open the bags. Thank you for sharing so much of your life. 😌
i missed you sweet Miriam! so ai ma super happy to be able to wish you a shana tova u'metuka v'gmar chatima tova:) and for you to have an easy and meaningful fast G.od willing xoxoxoxo
@@frumitup I just realized something... please forgive me if I have ever hurt you! That has never ever been my intention, but my sense of humour is sometimes through the roof! 💕
I am so happy you explained the horn. Last year on Yom Kippur a man blew the horn alongside the road, where there is a river, while I was driving by! I knew instantly it was for Yom Kippur, but not the reason why. So thank you for the knowledge. Also, I would LOVE a video about how you dress modestly, and the ritual baths!! Thank you for these lovingly crafted videos, be blessed and I hope everything goes well with your fast and your prayers are heard! I love forgiveness!
I love forgiveness and your openess to us all...allowing us the opportunity to be able to glimpse into your beautiful family, traditions and religious ceremonies. ❤️
Forgiveness is so important - my parents taught me to forgive and clean the slate each night before bed. May your fast be easy and may you be inscribed for a year of blessing - you and yours.
I love forgiveness. And I love that you have been raised to cherish relationships so much that you, essentially, do a "health check" once a year by asking forgiveness to those you care about. Your children are learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing with all of us and giving us a chance to learn too.
I always stay until the end. I have never known a mother's love. Not all children are born into homes where they were loved and nurtured. Your children are so blessed to have such a God fearing and loving mother and father. May God continue to bless and love you and yours, as I know He will. Thank you for allowing me into your home.
I love forgiveness! 💕 Would love to see both videos on modest dress as well as the mikveh. This is such a fascinating tradition, it seems a tiny bit similar to what I grew up with in a Catholic family where you go to confession sometimes. I love that you reach out to your friends and family to talk about forgiveness personally. ❤
What a beautiful tradition of devotion! Thank you! Our Lord's prayer contains the line, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed us." It is such an important part of authentic desire to draw close to G.od. Please forgive ME for knowing so little of Sephardic life and Jewish orthodoxy.! Keep up the lovely videos, my newest acquaintance! They make this old lady's wrinkles turn upward! 🙂
You have such a lovely family! Thank you for letting us in to your life and for explaining everything so clearly! You've taught me so much and your voice is so pleasant to hear.😘
@@shulamitberkovich3277 hello Shulamit: you are perfect with your tattoos and piercing: we love you just the way you are! your outer appearance does not change your worth or "Jewishness" xoxoxo
i agree with you and when you are fasting and stopping everything around you focusing only on your spiritual self, the sound of the shofar penetrates your soul: it is very very moving stay safe and blessed Alpha dog :)
I love forgiveness. Hope you prays get answered and you get forgiven. as Muslim I forgive you are wonderful mum,wife,sister, daughter.and most of all wonderful host on here I consider a friend. Happy holidays
I love forgiveness. Thank you for all you teach me. I ask your forgiveness if I have done anything that could have brought you pain, distress or anger over the past year.
I love forgiveness : ) thats a lot of praying, you are very dedicated. My jewish family always does things very quickly, but everyone has their own. way and that's what I love about being jewish. We don't judge eachother and everyone can do things as they wish.
I love forgiveness. Thank you for this special teaching/Sharing your traditions with those of us who are not born Jewish but choose to love and obey the Torah and the One True Elohim. Shalom.
Sara: You do a great service to both Jews and Christians around the globe by sharing your world. I enjoyed your holiday prep. It brought back memories of the controlled chaos in my Hungarian grandmother's kitchen. She taught me to bake the scrumptious pastries and the savory entrees that I still prepare. When family visits, I require, in advance, their menu preferences. Thanks --keep up the great work. PJR
Sara, you have nothing to ask me for forgiveness for either. You are so sweet and gentle, you couldn’t possibly hurt me. I also didn’t realize that fasting included water as well as food. I could go way longer without food than I could without water. I will pray hard for you and your family from beginning to end that you will not have a hard time during your fast but a meaningful experience. Love you!!
I love forgiveness! I love your voice and very beautiful customs of the Jewish religion and I’m excited about this journey and your beautiful family! Shalom from south Louisiana
I LOVE FORGIVENESS Your videos are always so inspirational! I also love that you made what we call “beer can chicken” Sending blessings and hugs from Texas. -Amanda
I love forgiveness. I love the way you end every video reminding people that they are loved and they are enough. There are times that that really hits home for me. Thank you.
I found your video very inspiring. As a Jewish person, I did grow up orthodox and then reformed. And yes, I do believe in forgiveness and that is a great tradition that you do to your family asking them for forgiveness. 12:46
SHALOM SARAH. HAVE A PEACEFULL DAY OF YOM KIPPOUR. BE BLESSED AND SO ALL YOUR FAMILY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS. THANKS FOR THE GOOD YOU BRING US, IT'S SO GREAT. SHANATOVA UMETUKA SHAVOUAT TOV GMAR HATIMA TOVA (Bonne Année, Bonne Semaine, et que du Bonheur) Josiane 🤳💐🍎🍯🍎💐
Sara I love forgiveness! To forgive is to free yourself from the past. Sometimes it's hard to forgive yourself. I loved the video! I have much respect for you opening your life up to youtube and, how it is to be Jewish. We live is such perilous times. There is so much hate out there. I watch a couple others of the Jewish faith, and appreciate the education you put on these videos. Be blessed Sara, and Shana Tova!
I love forgiveness. I also love the way you explain so clearly the reasons for why you perform each ritual - there is meaning in everything you do. Thank you for sharing your heart and your home with us.
Thank you so much Karen your words: they mean so what much to me because my goal is always to share our reality as orthodox jews because I think the more we understand each other the more we can respect each other and the more peace and harmony we can create in this world: maybe it's a very good utopian way of seeing the world but in my world with fluffy unicorns and rainbows this is what I would like to promote!! so thank you to have noticed it
@@frumitup so we are parking place prayer sisters and also rainbows and unicorn sisters:) I love forgiveness. God/Hashem is so good and wonderful! In one of the Psalms (in the Christian Bible it is #103), it says “God removes our sins as far as east is from the west.” And the prophet Isaiah quotes God as saying: “I, even I, am He who blots out your sins for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins.” So we can know we are clean before G.od when we repent before Him. A giant blessing! For you, dear one, it makes me happy for you, that you start the sacred year this way and be happy. Much love to you.
My late father was Jewish and I do cherish my roots. When young I remember putting cloves in the oranges. I did not know that was part of my heritage. Perhaps I was told it was too young to remember. Thank you, and I greatly enjoy your channel.
I love forgiveness. I love your videos! I'm not Jewish, but after watching each video, I come away with a great feeling of peace. I'm sure part of it is your voice, I find it very soothing, but the rest is something else that I can't explain. Just know that you are important to me as well. Thank you for your videos 📹. I would like to see how you dress modestly for work etc. Actually I would love to see everything and anything that you are willing to share. Thank you.
Hi Sandy thank you so much for your kind words please know that they touched my heart and they mean so much to me your comment will go in my comment book where I keep the most meaningful comments I read them when I feel that what I am doing with my RUclips channel is not helping the way that I would like so please know that your few words just gave me more spiritual drive and fuel to continue what I'm doing thank you again so much for being here stay safe and stay blessed
This was another lovely video. Forgiveness is so very important. Both of others and ourself. Holding onto transgressions and grudges only causes more pain.
you are so right Sarah: it is just a heavy luggage we carry around and weight us down :( forgiveness do set us free of all this unwanted emotional weight!
Absolutely captivated with all of your rituals. Such s beautiful life you enjoy. As a faithful practicing Roman Catholic. I wish blessings to you and your family
Shanah Tovah Sarah, can't wait for the video to begin, I tried all the different round Chalot for Rosh Hashanah, they turned out amazing. Hope you had the best Chag.!! Love from Uganda 🇺🇬
Thank you. I love forgiveness. As a Conservative Jewish woman, I enjoy seeing the similarities and differences with my life. I am learning so much from you.
I love forgiveness! Sara, thank you for showing us how you celebrate Yom Kippur...it is beautiful! If everyone sought forgiveness for offending others, our world would be a better place. Keep the videos coming, we are learning so much from you!
You are so welcome! and i absolutely agree with you: forgiveness and asking for forgiveness will set you free and would make a better world if people would use it more readily :)
Sometimes I rewatch your videos just to hear someone tell me I am enough just the way I am. It’s very powerful. Thank you ❤
You are so welcome and YES you are enough ❤️❤️❤️
I second that. Thank you for the affirmation

et oui avec plaisir pour les videos sur le mikveh et l'habillement
I love forgiveness. Would love a video on modest dress. I'd describe myself as a non-denominational Christian and find myself drawn to anything that describes the modesty practices by the Abrahamic faiths. I find head covering to be something I keep coming back to as a practice.
Thank you for these videos. It is always helpful to see how other sisters of faith live
I love forgiveness. When I ask for forgiveness, there is such a feeling of peace, and a huge weight is lifted from me.
I love forgiveness.
Every year for Christmas I'd ask my mom what she wanted, and every year she'd say an orange or lemon spiked with cloves.. when I'd ask her why, she'd never answer me, she just said that's what she wanted, and I would make her one of each.. thank you for explaining this for me.. she just passed a year ago and I still made her one of each, and I think I will continue to do this in memory of her.. many blessings to you and your family... 💜💐
you are so special to continue this tradition in the memory of your mom: she is lucky to have you as her daughter :)

I'm catholic but there is something very special in Jewes prayers.
Love them from...🇧🇷
Time to grab myself a large cup of tea and settle in. Can’t wait Sara!
thank you so much Sarah!
I will be joining you with the cup of coffee too!
Thank you thank you thank you, I love forgives and love my Jewish friends. Love from a Christian in America.
I love forgiveness! Thank you again for everything that you do! It never fails to astound me when I see where certain Catholic rituals came from (like the striking of the breast while praying for forgiveness). It’s like following bread crumbs back to the true source, and my heart swells with love and gratitude for HaShem. He has certainly worked through you as you have been my angel in helping with my conversion. Yom tov to you and your adorable family! Love, hugs and prayers 💚🙏
I love forgiveness.
Thank you for sharing such a special moment. The sweet way in which you educate and inspire people is so special. The more I learn about the Sephardic culture through your experiences, the more I realize how deeply important honoring and respecting the diversity of this world is for all of us.
I hope you have a blessed day.
❤️
I love forgiveness!! Forgiveness is such an important part of my Christian walk. It is humbling and often overlooked step in living a peaceful and God centered life. Thank you for sharing a piece of your life with us!!
you are so right! forgiveness sets us free of so much of our emotional luggage!
So many parallels between my Catholic faith and the Jewish. Beautiful. 💋
Lovely video as always! for me it was so interesting to see another faith/culture doing the oranges with the cloves. Here in Sweden it's a really common thing to see during December for the lead up to Christmas, we ad a read ribbon and then hang them up somewhere, often a window. the smell is so lovely and really get you in a festive mood! 😊
hi Minna! thank you so much fir sharing your tradition with me :) I LOVE learning and i LOVE how we have similar use of items for a different reason!
stay safe and blessed :)
Seeing the girls asking for forgiveness, brought tears to my eyes . Hugging and so sincere. Beautiful. I wish I had a relationship with my sister , your girls are lovely .
I Love forgiveness.

@@frumitup could you share your baklava recipe it looks delicious
I'm mizrahi and I guess orthodox I really appreciate this THANK YOU 😊
I love forgiveness. Thank you so much for your videos. I come from Sephardic heritage but was not raised Jewish. It has been a comfort to learn about my roots with you.
I am so happy Jessica the videos can help you and if you have any questions please let me know
I love forgiveness. This was very enriching You’re a very busy woman. Everything is ordered in your home. Love it.
Sweet new year. 🇮🇱🇳🇿
Thank you Sarah. We always also wore white and sneakers for The holiday. I love the prayers of Yom Kippur... the prayers concentrate on how wonderful The Almighty is and how we exhalt in loving him and acknowledging him as the Almighty and how we are honored to serve him. Thank you and belated New Year. :)
is
You are so welcome and Shana Tova to you too!
I love forgiveness. I often wonder during our prayers of confession, and the assurance of the Lord’s forgiveness during Protestant Christian worship, whether we all truly mean business. A whole day to focus on our shortcomings, and our Maker’s love on Yom Kippur is a very wise custom. I’m comforted by words from Psalm 103, “ He knows our frame : He remembers that we are dust”
A video about Yom Kipper! Sarah you are always ahead of the curve! Can’t wait to see this video!
thank you so so much Ann :) cannot wait to see you there!
I’m watching it now!
Have an easy and meaningful fast!
I love forgiveness. I think your son did a beautiful pattern with the cloves. It must smell incredibly good when you open the bags. Thank you for sharing so much of your life. 😌
Yes it does!
I missed live stream yesterday, but anyway, I love forgiveness! Thank you Sara Malka for everything you do! G'mar chatima tovah!
i missed you sweet Miriam!
so ai ma super happy to be able to wish you a shana tova u'metuka v'gmar chatima tova:) and for you to have an easy and meaningful fast G.od willing xoxoxoxo
@@frumitup I just realized something... please forgive me if I have ever hurt you! That has never ever been my intention, but my sense of humour is sometimes through the roof! 💕
I am so happy you explained the horn. Last year on Yom Kippur a man blew the horn alongside the road, where there is a river, while I was driving by! I knew instantly it was for Yom Kippur, but not the reason why. So thank you for the knowledge. Also, I would LOVE a video about how you dress modestly, and the ritual baths!! Thank you for these lovingly crafted videos, be blessed and I hope everything goes well with your fast and your prayers are heard! I love forgiveness!
I love forgiveness. I am truly loving your videos and learning about your faith. Thank you for sharing.
thank you Sheila and and thank YOU for being here!
I love forgiveness. I am a Reform Jew, but I find your traditions for the holidays help to make it special. Have an easy, but meaningful fast.
Aww thank you Kathleen! I am so grateful it can inspire you ❤️❤️
I love forgiveness and your openess to us all...allowing us the opportunity to be able to glimpse into your beautiful family, traditions and religious ceremonies. ❤️
Forgiveness is so important - my parents taught me to forgive and clean the slate each night before bed. May your fast be easy and may you be inscribed for a year of blessing - you and yours.
I love forgiveness. And I love that you have been raised to cherish relationships so much that you, essentially, do a "health check" once a year by asking forgiveness to those you care about. Your children are learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing with all of us and giving us a chance to learn too.
I always stay until the end. I have never known a mother's love. Not all children are born into homes where they were loved and nurtured. Your children are so blessed to have such a God fearing and loving mother and father. May God continue to bless and love you and yours, as I know He will. Thank you for allowing me into your home.
I love forgiveness! 💕 Would love to see both videos on modest dress as well as the mikveh. This is such a fascinating tradition, it seems a tiny bit similar to what I grew up with in a Catholic family where you go to confession sometimes. I love that you reach out to your friends and family to talk about forgiveness personally. ❤
with pleasure Sam for both videos :)
asking for forgiveness is hard but so liberating at the same time!
What a beautiful tradition of devotion! Thank you! Our Lord's prayer contains the line, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed us." It is such an important part of authentic desire to draw close to G.od. Please forgive ME for knowing so little of Sephardic life and Jewish orthodoxy.! Keep up the lovely videos, my newest acquaintance! They make this old lady's wrinkles turn upward! 🙂
I love Forgiveness ❤️
It's much harder to forgive, and I respect everyone who can do it and mean it!
Your traditions are beautiful. You are lucky to be born into and to have been educated within such a rich, rewarding belief system.
You have such a lovely family! Thank you for letting us in to your life and for explaining everything so clearly! You've taught me so much and your voice is so pleasant to hear.😘
I am jewish as well but I dont know how they did it I couldnt be like that. I have tattos and piecings
awwww thank you sweet friend:)
@@shulamitberkovich3277 hello Shulamit: you are perfect with your tattoos and piercing: we love you just the way you are!
your outer appearance does not change your worth or "Jewishness" xoxoxo
I agree about the beautiful voice. Such a pleasure to listen to.
The Rams Horn has such a unique sound, it feels sacred.
i agree with you and when you are fasting and stopping everything around you focusing only on your spiritual self, the sound of the shofar penetrates your soul: it is very very moving
stay safe and blessed Alpha dog :)
I love forgiveness. Hope you prays get answered and you get forgiven. as Muslim I forgive you are wonderful mum,wife,sister, daughter.and most of all wonderful host on here I consider a friend. Happy holidays
awww sweet Shahin, your message gave me goosebumps: thank you for being here: it means so much to me :)
I love watch your video you inspire me to be better thank u . 💓
I love forgiveness. Thank you for all you teach me. I ask your forgiveness if I have done anything that could have brought you pain, distress or anger over the past year.
ohh sweetie: you are nothing but a pure pleasure in my life:)
Shana tova u'metuka v'gmar chatima tova:)
I love forgiveness : ) thats a lot of praying, you are very dedicated. My jewish family always does things very quickly, but everyone has their own. way and that's what I love about being jewish. We don't judge eachother and everyone can do things as they wish.
you are so so right: you do you and we love you !
have a shana tova u'metuka v'g'mar chatima tova:) xoxoxoxo
I love forgiveness. Thank you for this special teaching/Sharing your traditions with those of us who are not born Jewish but choose to love and obey the Torah and the One True Elohim. Shalom.
I love forgiveness. Your devotion to the Holy Convocations, your family, your work ethic and your affectionate loving manner are a treasure!
Sara: You do a great service to both Jews and Christians around the globe by sharing your world. I enjoyed your holiday prep. It brought back memories of the controlled chaos in my Hungarian grandmother's kitchen. She taught me to bake the scrumptious pastries and the savory entrees that I still prepare. When family visits, I require, in advance, their menu preferences. Thanks --keep up the great work. PJR
I'd love to know more about the ritual cleansing in the miqva(?). Thank you for your videos :)
with pleasure!
i love forgiveness it brings peace, but sometimes you keep on forgiving the people who shouldn't hurt or harm you, but continue to do so
Sara, you have nothing to ask me for forgiveness for either. You are so sweet and gentle, you couldn’t possibly hurt me. I also didn’t realize that fasting included water as well as food. I could go way longer without food than I could without water. I will pray hard for you and your family from beginning to end that you will not have a hard time during your fast but a meaningful experience. Love you!!
thank you so so much:) sending you love too: sweet Claudia:))
xoxoxo
I love forgivesness. Thank you. Just beginning to learn and practice my Mom/Grandparents Jewish traditions. Thank you for teaching me so well.
I love forgiveness...beautiful presentation of Yom Kippur values & I love how you honor our creator & your family & friends! 💖😍❤🙏🙌
Thank you so so much Rosa
I love forgiveness! I love your voice and very beautiful customs of the Jewish religion and I’m excited about this journey and your beautiful family! Shalom from south Louisiana
I LOVE FORGIVENESS
Your videos are always so inspirational! I also love that you made what we call “beer can chicken”
Sending blessings and hugs from Texas. -Amanda
i love how we do the same thing but we call it by different names!
have a great day Amanda!
I love forgiveness. Thank you for your movies, for being there. I apologize for any failure wholeheartedly.
you are so amazing: nothing to forgive:) xoxox
shana tova u'metuka v'gmar chatima tova:)
I love forgiveness. I love the way you end every video reminding people that they are loved and they are enough. There are times that that really hits home for me. Thank you.
i mean it every time: we need to remind people of their value and how amazing and unique they are : like you :)
I found your video very inspiring. As a Jewish person, I did grow up orthodox and then reformed. And yes, I do believe in forgiveness and that is a great tradition that you do to your family asking them for forgiveness. 12:46
SHALOM SARAH.
HAVE A PEACEFULL DAY OF YOM KIPPOUR.
BE BLESSED AND SO ALL YOUR FAMILY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS. THANKS FOR THE GOOD YOU BRING US, IT'S SO GREAT.

I love Forgiveness. Beautiful video ❤️ May you and your family be blessed and know that my life would not be the same without you as well dear friend.
God bless you and your family spiritually, mentally, physically, and financially in Jesus name amen!
Sara I love forgiveness! To forgive is to free yourself from the past. Sometimes it's hard to forgive yourself. I loved the video! I have much respect for you opening your life up to youtube and, how it is to be Jewish. We live is such perilous times. There is so much hate out there. I watch a couple others of the Jewish faith, and appreciate the education you put on these videos. Be blessed Sara, and Shana Tova!
I love forgiveness. I also love the way you explain so clearly the reasons for why you perform each ritual - there is meaning in everything you do. Thank you for sharing your heart and your home with us.
Thank you so much Karen your words: they mean so what much to me because my goal is always to share our reality as orthodox jews because I think the more we understand each other the more we can respect each other and the more peace and harmony we can create in this world: maybe it's a very good utopian way of seeing the world but in my world with fluffy unicorns and rainbows this is what I would like to promote!! so thank you to have noticed it
@@frumitup so we are parking place prayer sisters and also rainbows and unicorn sisters:) I love forgiveness. God/Hashem is so good and wonderful! In one of the Psalms (in the Christian Bible it is #103), it says “God removes our sins as far as east is from the west.” And the prophet Isaiah quotes God as saying: “I, even I, am He who blots out your sins for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins.”
So we can know we are clean before G.od when we repent before Him. A giant blessing! For you, dear one, it makes me happy for you, that you start the sacred year this way and be happy. Much love to you.
My late father was Jewish and I do cherish my roots. When young I remember putting cloves in the oranges. I did not know that was part of my heritage. Perhaps I was told it was too young to remember. Thank you, and I greatly enjoy your channel.
I love forgiveness. I love your videos! I'm not Jewish, but after watching each video, I come away with a great feeling of peace. I'm sure part of it is your voice, I find it very soothing, but the rest is something else that I can't explain. Just know that you are important to me as well. Thank you for your videos 📹. I would like to see how you dress modestly for work etc. Actually I would love to see everything and anything that you are willing to share. Thank you.
Hi Sandy thank you so much for your kind words please know that they touched my heart and they mean so much to me your comment will go in my comment book where I keep the most meaningful comments I read them when I feel that what I am doing with my RUclips channel is not helping the way that I would like so please know that your few words just gave me more spiritual drive and fuel to continue what I'm doing thank you again so much for being here stay safe and stay blessed
@@frumitup your welcome 🙏 and I meant every word!! Stay safe and stay blessed
I love forgiveness. You have no idea how much you bless my life and more importantly my soul with these videos. You are such a special, kind lady. ❤
This was another lovely video. Forgiveness is so very important. Both of others and ourself. Holding onto transgressions and grudges only causes more pain.
you are so right Sarah: it is just a heavy luggage we carry around and weight us down :( forgiveness do set us free of all this unwanted emotional weight!
I love forgiveness. Beautiful home. Shalom to you and your house.
I love forgiveness! And I love these peeks into your world. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Absolutely captivated with all of your rituals. Such s beautiful life you enjoy. As a faithful practicing Roman Catholic. I wish blessings to you and your family
I love forgiveness. Your videos are so peaceful and you're so great at explaining your lifestyle and religion. Thank you for all that you do.

Shanah Tovah Sarah, can't wait for the video to begin, I tried all the different round Chalot for Rosh Hashanah, they turned out amazing. Hope you had the best Chag.!! Love from Uganda 🇺🇬
i am so so happy they turned so great!
see you soon!
Thank you. I love forgiveness. As a Conservative Jewish woman, I enjoy seeing the similarities and differences with my life. I am learning so much from you.
i am so happy you are enjoying seeing the similarities and learning with me:)
shana tova u'metuka v'gmar chatima tova:)
I love forgiveness! Sara, thank you for showing us how you celebrate Yom Kippur...it is beautiful! If everyone sought forgiveness for offending others, our world would be a better place. Keep the videos coming, we are learning so much from you!
You are so welcome!
and i absolutely agree with you: forgiveness and asking for forgiveness will set you free and would make a better world if people would use it more readily :)
