I always learn something new from your channel. My mom used to say that morning sickness for her was morning, noon and night 🌃 but the end result is so worth it (8children she had). Happy Mother's Day Hannah 🌹
Ducky friend was a welcome addition to this video hehe. I really love your somewhat teardrop-diamond ish earrings by the way! So cute! Hope everyone is keeping happy and healthy.
Thanks for taking the time to post on Independence Day! Love your videos I really enjoy your choice of music - cute music when you show the little duck also❣️
Happy Mother's Day! Love your chill, layed back videos. I guess because I like to stay chill and layed back! Hot dogs are good for those kinds of days. And of course, the laundry.... Always the laundry. Lol!
I have really enjoyed your show I too want to learn more about other religions. You are so informed on everything and I have truly injoyed learning about your's.
I love your videos. They are educational very informative and kind. In this hectic world of today finding pockets of kindness in a blessing. Thank you Chana. I have a friend who has ducks. She has duck diapers so they can be in the house. Duck diapers. lol
Hi Chana, Happy Independence Day. It was so interesting to learn that Israel's Memorial Day is right next door. What a great way to honor those who fell. I completely agree with you - there is no independence without sacrifice. Nice to spend the day with you as always. Great that your garden got a big drink of water! Do you plan to grow any low-maintenance veggies this year? Here at the Jersey shore we're going through our annual " Summer today, Winter tomorrow" season. Close to 70 one day and 45 the next. Mother Nature can't make up her mind, lol. Looking forward to your next video.❤
Thank you Lin! Yes, I am doing a small garden this year :) Well, not small exactly lol but low maintenance and pretty much Child let lol it’s great! I’ll show it in a video soon :)
Hello! I’ve only talked about it in the comments really. Sephardi women are not obligated in counting of the Omer so it’s not something I really think about
Chana, hope you are feeling better. Morning sickness is so hard, at any month. The duck was so cute, hanging out. I have family that lives in Cleveland and they have Deer running all near their homes. Was the Yom Ha-atzmaut get together thru the Shul or a different event happening? The main thing is all had fun. Thanks so much for sharing. Brachot from Israel.
Awesome video. I think that it really enriches our understanding of what is so wonderful about Judaism. Totally just noticed the images of works by Vermeer on the shelves. Nobody paints light quite as magically as Vermeer. Are you a fan?
I’m a big Vermeer fan :) Those pictures are for our current artist study the kids and I have been doing for their school. We have all really enjoyed it! Only one painting left and we will have to move in to a new artist
Israel is a beautiful place, I hope you get to visit soon! You are wearing my favorite earrings again, they look great on you.. That was the cutest blooper ever! I hope you have a wonderful week!
I put this video up on the tv for the first time and noticed so many more details. I saw The Read Aloud Family, which I devoured to help me when I brought Iris home, and it was so encouraging and inspiring to me. I saw Grimms Fairy Tales, Fahrenheit 451 and Black Beauty, all of which are also on my shelves. And, most of all I was blown away by your enormous and fabulous washing machine and dryer. Here in Australia, I still use the clothesline and inside drying racks for when it is wet and rarely use the dryer. Those machines are impressive! Do people use outside clotheslines at all still? My washing machine is that big but a top loader. It deserves long service leave I think. It was great to watch the kids having fun and the duck. We have had fairy wrens hopping around today and we have had torrential rain but the birds are impervious.
@@ingridpear1882that is great to hear. I am not against dryers at all and mine has saved the day many a time when kids are sick (the non stop washing!) but I don't know whether people use the lines anymore. I always wonder what it is like for your clothes too.
It’s definitely not so common where I live to hang clothes outside to dry. Personally I love it though :) But I don’t have a clothes line in this house.
@@catherinenunan3584 Know what you mean - my mom said she couldn't have lived without a dryer when we were babies and threw up on the sheets . We make do with what we have now- thank God for what we do have and for sunshine 😊, it's hard to implement the wash,dry,fold,put-away in one day principal but enjoyable when there's nice weather.
Aww I loved the little Duck who came to visit :) Isn't bird song glorious ? for the past two years I have a blackbird come visit daily & I feed him blueberries, he almost feeds out of my hand :)
Happy Independence day Chana and family. You constantly amaze me with how you take such good care of your family. I wish more moms today would have such a positive attitude to raising children.
Praying for the safe delivery for your little one. My daughter is 34 weeks tomorrow and I've enjoyed watching her blossom (her first baby) and you both grow seemingly about the same rate. :) New life is so exciting and such a reminder of the rich blessings from the Lord!
Happy Independence Day and I hope you also had a wonderful Mother’s Day! I enjoyed learning about this holiday, it’s very nice how they honor Memorial Day right after as you explained. Always like seeing the reminder that your videos came out. Much love to you all ♥️
Happy Independence Day. Love the explanation of the holiday, thanks. Wow, I feel bad for you with your morning sickness, I remember those mornings. Feel better n see you next time. 🌻
Another fascinating video. Thank youtu. I am amazed by the way you address all Jewish topics. You are so knowledgeable. You don't live in Israel but still you understand the essence as if you did. You are a special soul.
Are the metal tumblers (you loaded into the dishwasher) used for something specific? Being kosher, metal cups or tumblers rather than glass seems counterproductive.
We just returned from Israel. We were there for holocaust Remembrance Day and the day of remembrance for fallen soldiers. We were on a tour bus and we pulled over on the road and all stood for the period of silence. It was very humbling to be a part of these remembrances. We left Israel the day before Independence Day but saw all the flags displayed in preparation. Israel is a beautiful country.
I love a good chill day especially when my kids weren't grown up. Now I miss the fun times we had together. Enjoy your young ones. Happy Mother's day. Praying that the rest of your days to delivery will be sweet times with your family and healthy time's for you. Also for delivery.🦆
When I was pregnant with my 35 year old I craved hot dogs, only the ones on rollers or burned on the grill!! Glad baby is progressing well and you feel somewhat better!
@@jaroffireflies i enjoy your channel and admire your accurate teaching about Judaism. I would like to add that many Orthodox communities recite Hallel ( often without a bracha) on Yom Haatzmaut. It is more common to see Hallel recited with a bracha in Israel, but the practice of a special service on Yom Haatzmaut is done in many shuls.
Hope you're doctor appointment went well. I have been watching your videos only a few months so sometimes I go on my phone and search for the easiest ones. I am not great with technology so I am all proud of myself when I can get some of your earlier videos. The weather here is terrible and yesterday it was lovely. Joys of living in Ireland. ❤️🌹
Hope you have some sunny skies soon! I have some playlists by year if you want to go back to earlier videos ❤️ Here is the playlist for 2020 ruclips.net/p/PLqxZU_RTv3ptPTvLUj9zW3teF7KcjhmUX Enjoy and thank you for watching! ❤️
Happy belated Mother's Day! Those hotdogs looked yummy. When I was a little girl my grandfather went to Jerusalem and visited all of Israel. He showed us lots of pictures from there and that was when I knew I wanted to go there. I have not been there yet but it is a wonderful dream of mine. 💕
Hi Chana, l know in the past you have mentioned that your children are Jewish because you are. If a couple are unable to conceive and adopt a baby, is the baby automatically Jewish?? Another great video again today.
There are Jewish adoption agencies that help place Jewish children with Jewish families so in a case like that the child would be Jewish already. Otherwise the adopted child would need to convert. This is a process that I’m out super familiar with but it’s my understanding that the child starts the conversion when they are adopted and when they are older (age of bar or bat mitzvah) they confirm that they want to be Jewish.
You are so inspirational when I’m having a bad time or a hard day do you know what I do now? I say but that’s OK and know It will be I think of your pretty smile of yours and know that it will be OK I just wanna thank you pretty lady be safe you have such a beautiful family I can’t wait to see that little girl😂😂😂❤️❤️ of course you know that’s what I’m voting for
Yay! A bounce house! Bella has the right idea-a nap on the couch. We are having a great start to the week. My husband and I just had a breakfast “date”. We went out for biscuits. It is the little things! Have a marvelous week! See you Thursday. Blesseings!!! I hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!!
We had such a lovely Yom Ha'atzmaut here in Israel...we went out to family for a barbecue unfortunately celebrations were dampered by a terrorist attack on Thursday evening... Shavua Tov have a good week
Do you know if they have started to build the Temple in Israel yet? I have been hearing rumers it has started, I thought of you and wanted to see if you knew about this, so I could get the truth and not a false rumor. Thank You.
Happy May 5th and 6th! Because I work in a Jewish Hospital I was lucky to get May 5th off. In The Netherlands we remember May 4th all the people who died in WW2 and after and May 5th is the Day we celebrate that we were freed from the Germans after WW2, unfortunately we only get May 5th off every 5 years. Usually there are music festivals throughout the country, but lucky me I get May 5th off every year! Whoop whoop
@@jaroffireflies yes I did, I really needed it because on May 4th we also said our final goodbye to a very dear friend who died to young! I cried my eyes out so a nice day off after all the hurt was very nice💕
Birds singing is just the best! We sort of celebrate Mother’s Day. It’s just a personal thing that I don’t really care for it, but I know many Jews who do celebrate it. I have a video coming up where I talk about it and what we did :)
Dear Chana! I truly enjoyed this video! I have a couple of questions once again if you don't mind, but please feel free not to answer them, they might be a little bit offensive. Is abortion allowed in Orthodox Judaism in any case? (For example if the mother's life is in danger, or it is sure that the baby would born with a very low level of life quality) My other question is really personal, so please don't answer if you don't feel comfortable with it :). Would you be open to being friends with a Muslim person? Thank you so much, Have a wonderful day!
Hello, I don’t know much about that topic in Judaism. So that’s not something I could answer for you. As for having Muslim friends, yes we have Muslim friends as well as Christian friends, atheist friends, and many others :)
🇮🇱 🙏❤️!! Happy Independence Day to Israel!!! I do not hear the distractions in the videos. I hear you clearly. When you said something about the lawnmower, I couldn’t hear it. And the kids in the background is very faint. To me, at least! 😃
Those were not gluten free hot dog buns. My son with celiac just ate plain hot dogs with no bun (he usually doesn’t want a bun). If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, they have the best hot dog and hamburger buns we have been able to find gluten free :)
I was with my dad all day today. We went to his place to do laundry because he had the GE fridge person over for an evaluation/inspection kind of thing. It's not dispensing water. It's about 13 years old. He didn't get there until like 12 noon, and then he would not stop talking, like total extrovert. I started watching your video, then I lost my place somehow, and I couldn't like fast forward on my tablet. Like I could not figure out how. At least at my dad's they have Wi-Fi. Oh, and you can read Kindle books and listen on Audible, and a grey curser thing will highlight the word you are reading. Cool right? You could use that for homeschool? Since it was so late dad and I just got Arby's and ate along the river. It was 3 by the time I got back from the grocery store, all in all a good day. But my day is not over, I have to clean, inspections are tomorrow. This was an update. I need to start writing in my diary again.
My Dad was always a great cook. Mom rarely did breakfasts, My dad used to make pancakes, and vegetable medleys. My Mom made oatmeal, omelets and other things, Dad usually used more pots and pans.
We had a great Yom Hatzmaut enjoying our beautiful beach's and hanging out with friends and family. One of the great things of Yom Haatzmaut is the Tanach quiz its the world finel! Every year its great but this year it was soooo exciting and thrilling to the last second. Not telling u how it ended so if u want u can sit with your kids and watch together. Looks like u had a fun day too🇮🇱💙
חידון התנ"ך. It starts in schools then a county one then a national one... The teens that get to that stage from all over the world get together a few weeks before yom haatzmaut and have like a study week while hiking in Israel and in yom haatzmaut is a huge thing with the PM and the president.... I am sure you can find it on RUclips. U would love watching it. (ask your husband about chidon hatanach) anyway... This years was amazing
Smith thing u would enjoy watching with your kids is טקס הדלקת המשואות. Its also in English as all the ambassadors from around the world come to see it too
Question for you; why are you celebrating the independence of a country none of your family have any links to other than its main religion being the same one you orthodoxly practice? You are American and your husband is Moroccan (now a US citizen Thank you in advance.
I think you missed the part in the video where I explained that my husband and children are also Israeli as well as so many family members. Jews in general often celebrate Israel and have a love for Israel even if they don’t live there or have family there.
Hope you are all having a wonderful start to your week!!!! 💐 Happy Mother’s Day to all who celebrated yesterday 🌷🌷🌷
Same too you 🙂❤️
Hey Chana! Happy Mother's Day 💐 thanks for taking us along & sharing about the holiday & how you celebrate it. Have a wonderful day!
Happy Mothers Day 🌷🌷🌼🌼🌻🌻to you as well, & also Happy Israeli ✡Independence Day!
Happy mothers' day to you too. We have ours in March and fathers' day in June. 😊
Happy Mother's Day
Yom Tov and happy Yom Haatzmaut, hope you had a fantastic Mother's day also.

Thank you so much 💜💜💜😊😊😊
Thank you for sharing your holiday!!
Ducky friend was a welcome addition to this video hehe. I really love your somewhat teardrop-diamond ish earrings by the way! So cute! Hope everyone is keeping happy and healthy.
Wasn’t that duck such a treat?!?
Thank you for the informative video and for sharing this holiday with us! Great video. I love your earrings and head covering in this as well!
Thank you 💜
Everyone needs a day to chill once and awhile !!! I love learning so many new things so, thank you !!!! Quack
I just love all of your videos, but I especially like when I can learn about Jewish tradition and life.
Yom Maman stayed at the Canadian Border for a while
Superwoman..your composure is so calming for me. From one busy mum to another have a blessed week and I hope your morning sickness gets better. 😊💕
Thank you :)
Thanks for taking the time to post on Independence Day!
Love your videos I really enjoy your choice of music - cute music when you show the little duck also❣️
I love how you say "but that's okay" when staying positive!
I love your videos Chana! So nice to be able to watch them on Monday and Thursday mornings 🥰
Love the music you use. Especially when the duck was there. Lol

Afternoon Chana,
I wondered if the duck was Khosher? Lol sorry couldn't resist.
You are looking so well, growing your little human suits you. ❤️
Lol yes duck is a kosher animal :) thank you for your kind words ❤️
Chana love your videos! I would like to hear more about the products you use for cleaning while pregnant. Thanks!
Great video, Chana! חג עצמאות שמח 💙🤍💙
Thank you Aviva!

@@AvivaTalOhr yes!!! I would love to go!
Chana, where does your energy come from!!! To make time for study and davening too.. Baruch HaShem . 💜💚💜
Love the head scarf you wore at at the beginning of the video 🙂
Thank you!
Hi Chana,
Happy Independence Day. It was so interesting to learn that Israel's Memorial Day is right next door. What a great way to honor those who fell. I completely agree with you - there is no independence without sacrifice.
Nice to spend the day with you as always.
Great that your garden got a big drink of water! Do you plan to grow any low-maintenance veggies this year?
Here at the Jersey shore we're going through our annual " Summer today, Winter tomorrow" season. Close to 70 one day and 45 the next. Mother Nature can't make up her mind, lol.
Looking forward to your next video.❤
Thank you Lin! Yes, I am doing a small garden this year :) Well, not small exactly lol but low maintenance and pretty much Child let lol it’s great! I’ll show it in a video soon :)
i hope you go to Israel one day. it would be a fun trip for the kids to learn more about their dad and their background.
Isn’t he from Morocco?
@@loiscassels8966 from what i remember from their Q and A. his parents are from Morocco and moved to Israel when they were teenagers.
@@Belushi87 Aaah. Thanks. I’ve been to Israel twice. It is fantastic! ❤️🇨🇦
Love the duck footage! Have you talked to us much about the counting of the Omer? I'm doing pretty good this year! Lots of love, Sarah Elisheva
Hello! I’ve only talked about it in the comments really. Sephardi women are not obligated in counting of the Omer so it’s not something I really think about
What is the counting of the Omer please? ❤️🇨🇦
Hi Chana good afternoon from England this video was so interesting to watch , I love learning and the holidays and tractions that you celebrate. 😊
Thank you!
Chana, hope you are feeling better. Morning sickness is so hard, at any month. The duck was so cute, hanging out. I have family that lives in Cleveland and they have Deer running all near their homes. Was the Yom Ha-atzmaut get together thru the Shul or a different event happening? The main thing is all had fun.

Thank you for sharing. Love your content. Rest well.
PS: Your daughter's jumper/dress is gorgeous. Can you share where you bought it?
Thank you so much! A lot of my daughters clothes including that dress were made by a sweet friend 💜
Singing birds make me happy, too, but, not as happy as pregnant bellies! You look amazing! 🥰

Morning sickness is no joke, with my oldest I had it the whole way through. I was literally throwing up as I was having contractions in the hospital.
Oh I’m so sorry you experienced that!
My friend told me “I didn’t push my baby out. I vomited her out”. Poor thing.

Do you know if they have started to build the Temple in Israel yet? I have been hearing rumers it has started, I thought of you and wanted to see if you knew about this, so I could get the truth and not a false rumor. Thank You.
Hello, no that has not happened yet.
@@jaroffireflies Thank you!
@@FaithFamily26 you are so welcome
Happy May 5th and 6th! Because I work in a Jewish Hospital I was lucky to get May 5th off. In The Netherlands we remember May 4th all the people who died in WW2 and after and May 5th is the Day we celebrate that we were freed from the Germans after WW2, unfortunately we only get May 5th off every 5 years. Usually there are music festivals throughout the country, but lucky me I get May 5th off every year! Whoop whoop
Hope you enjoyed your day off! Love that you commemorate those two occasions in consecutive days! It’s really special!
@@jaroffireflies yes I did, I really needed it because on May 4th we also said our final goodbye to a very dear friend who died to young! I cried my eyes out so a nice day off after all the hurt was very nice💕

Congrats on 30,ooo
Thank you so much 😊
Hearing birds sing makes me happy too. 😊 Just wondering if you celebrate mother's day? Thanks for sharing this video.
Birds singing is just the best! We sort of celebrate Mother’s Day. It’s just a personal thing that I don’t really care for it, but I know many Jews who do celebrate it. I have a video coming up where I talk about it and what we did :)
Dear Chana!
I truly enjoyed this video! I have a couple of questions once again if you don't mind, but please feel free not to answer them, they might be a little bit offensive. Is abortion allowed in Orthodox Judaism in any case? (For example if the mother's life is in danger, or it is sure that the baby would born with a very low level of life quality) My other question is really personal, so please don't answer if you don't feel comfortable with it :). Would you be open to being friends with a Muslim person?
Thank you so much,
Have a wonderful day!
Hello, I don’t know much about that topic in Judaism. So that’s not something I could answer for you. As for having Muslim friends, yes we have Muslim friends as well as Christian friends, atheist friends, and many others :)
I hope you have the opportunity to come to Israel one year for Yom Haatsmaut, it is a very special festive day 🇮🇱
I would love that!
LOVE
❤ ❤ ❤ 💜
Chana you look like you're getting ready soon to welcome your precious little miracle. Your profile has changed a bit.
❤️👍😃
Early days. Accommodation will be sorted. Then a peace gathering in ✈ with gaither vocal band. One year. Max 18 months. Relax
🇮🇱 🙏❤️!! Happy Independence Day to Israel!!! I do not hear the distractions in the videos. I hear you clearly. When you said something about the lawnmower, I couldn’t hear it. And the kids in the background is very faint. To me, at least! 😃
Happy Israeli Independence Day!!
PLEASE share what kind of gluten free hot dog buns those were!
Those were not gluten free hot dog buns. My son with celiac just ate plain hot dogs with no bun (he usually doesn’t want a bun). If you have a Trader Joe’s near you, they have the best hot dog and hamburger buns we have been able to find gluten free :)
I was with my dad all day today. We went to his place to do laundry because he had the GE fridge person over for an evaluation/inspection kind of thing. It's not dispensing water. It's about 13 years old. He didn't get there until like 12 noon, and then he would not stop talking, like total extrovert. I started watching your video, then I lost my place somehow, and I couldn't like fast forward on my tablet. Like I could not figure out how. At least at my dad's they have Wi-Fi. Oh, and you can read Kindle books and listen on Audible, and a grey curser thing will highlight the word you are reading. Cool right? You could use that for homeschool? Since it was so late dad and I just got Arby's and ate along the river. It was 3 by the time I got back from the grocery store, all in all a good day. But my day is not over, I have to clean, inspections are tomorrow. This was an update. I need to start writing in my diary again.
My Dad was always a great cook. Mom rarely did breakfasts, My dad used to make pancakes, and vegetable medleys. My Mom made oatmeal, omelets and other things, Dad usually used more pots and pans.
We had a great Yom Hatzmaut enjoying our beautiful beach's and hanging out with friends and family. One of the great things of Yom Haatzmaut is the Tanach quiz its the world finel! Every year its great but this year it was soooo exciting and thrilling to the last second. Not telling u how it ended so if u want u can sit with your kids and watch together. Looks like u had a fun day too🇮🇱💙
Ohhh what is this? I’ve never heard of it!
חידון התנ"ך.
It starts in schools then a county one then a national one... The teens that get to that stage from all over the world get together a few weeks before yom haatzmaut and have like a study week while hiking in Israel and in yom haatzmaut is a huge thing with the PM and the president.... I am sure you can find it on RUclips. U would love watching it. (ask your husband about chidon hatanach) anyway... This years was amazing
Smith thing u would enjoy watching with your kids is טקס הדלקת המשואות. Its also in English as all the ambassadors from around the world come to see it too
@@manyalevine1017 definitely cool. Thanks for that info. I will look for it!
When are you due,Chana💚
Summer :)
Question for you; why are you celebrating the independence of a country none of your family have any links to other than its main religion being the same one you orthodoxly practice? You are American and your husband is Moroccan (now a US citizen
Thank you in advance.
I think you missed the part in the video where I explained that my husband and children are also Israeli as well as so many family members. Jews in general often celebrate Israel and have a love for Israel even if they don’t live there or have family there.
