Bem vinda! Eu sou da Bahia e me converti a mais de trinta anos , Israelis são um povo muito diretos levará tempo para você se acostumar mas aceitar as diferenças e a melhor coisa
Boruch HaShem! My wife and I are loving your videos. We have been in the Holy Land going on six years. We also love the family profile picture. Please continue to show your journey to Israel.
Boruch Hashem! I was worried about you on Yom Tov. Didn't hear from you for soooooooo long. I am posting this happy comment before even watching the vid. B"H you are all ok!
Aww you’re very kind! Yes we haven’t posted in a while. It’s been a lot going on as you could imagine 😃. Plus, it’s good to take breaks from social media. And we definitely needed the break. Thank you so much for your love and care
You guys are amazing! It’s much harder to make Pesach when you have little children. This is what we do: We move our chometz food and makeshift kitchen (toaster oven and burner) into the dining room for about a week before… while we clean and prepare the kitchen for Pesach. Sometime we have takeout food that week to reduce the cooking load in the dining room. The day of bedikas chometz we clean up the dining room and get it ready for Pesach. We also have an extra fridge in the garage to hold all the Pesach groceries until the kitchen fridge is ready. I do not bring Pesach food into my chometz kitchen. Dry goods will stay in a box until the kitchen is Pesach ready. Once the kitchen is ready I bring all the Pesach goods and food into the kitchen and use the garage fridge for the chometz stuff. Also, no food is ever allowed in any room except for the kitchen or dining room all year.
I am so excited for you guys. I can’t even put it into words. Just a few more months!! Also, on the grocery shopping, you will have isles that are just sectioned off with plastic and labeled Chametz. So all of the products available are all kosher for Pesach. It’s so convenient. For instance, I was just in Tiberias to grab some mayonnaise, and they only have the Israeli one that is kosher for right now, and the one I normally use is put away. Which I would’ve never known. So convenient. You’re gonna love it. Have a great Yom Tov!
Your children are so beautiful!!!! I'm really looking forward to your journey to Israel. I was there back in the mid 80s, I stayed on a kibbutz for six months. I hope to go back some day, I would really like to retire there, the only thing holding me back is that I don't want to leave my friends. It's a tough decision. Also downsizing would be tough, I don't even live in a house, just an apartment but I have so much stuff!
Such a beautiful family! We are very happy for you that you are able to go to Israel. May HaShem bless each and everyone of you, and may HaShem establish your handiwork, your handiwork may He establish and allow you to bless Israel with your goodness.
Wow! Amazing! So happy for you! A huge smile on my face! Mazal tov! Hope to see you here in Israel soon! Thank you for sharing your wonderful special inspiring journey with us! May you go from strength to strength. G-d bless!!!
Wow! What a special time. Pesach prep for the first time! Hope it was a beautiful Yom Tov! Sending love from Cedarhurst, NY . You guys are so inspiring! Found your channel recently, always looking for kosher screen time for myself to watch and relax and ultimately connect! Keep being awesome! As a Giyores myself who grew up in the mainstream orthodox system here in NY… I definitely had my ups and downs. Baruch Hashem, it’s been a journey. We are all on our unique journeys in life. You guys seem so incredibly authentic and special. Hatzlacha Raba!
Hey 👋🏾 Mimi!! So happy to see your message. We really appreciate you taking the time to watch. We’re happy to provide some kosher screen time🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 and yes… our Pesach was a bracha!!
Watching the videos of your beautiful family, has been the light in all this darkness. I’m glad you’re making aliyah. Your amazing children will be better off growing up in Israel. Chag sameach and all the best to you guys!
You all give me such chazak when I watch you all. Thank you so much for sharing. Bezerat Hashem we will see your first Sukkot video in beautiful Eretz Yisrael. 🇮🇱 Chag Sameach.
Hey guys, the vlog was great, it was very insightful. I definitely enjoyed it, lots of effort there. I felt Akiva's frustration 😂😂. May the memory for every frustration be for a blessing, lol. Looking forward to meet you both in Israel G-d willing. Happy Passover and B'ezrat HaShem on preparing to move from the US.
Now that 1st vlog was simply beautiful. I know you were so tired but these videos are giving us hope in converting also. I just know it's the right path for ALL mankind. Toddah Rabbah❤
So excited for you that b'ezrat haShem "Next year in Jerusalem" is going to be the real deal for you! I hope we'll get to see you enjoying that moment, if only virtually!
I came to Israel ( we havnt officially made aliyah yettttt but taking it a year at a time because so hard to leave family) But just want to ease your mind, it took my 5 year old, and 4 year old boys about 8 months to be absolutely fluent in hebrew. They understood quicker, and it's something that is absolutely incredible to watch in a child's brain. When they start school I just kept telling them that Hashem made a miracle that kids brains are like sponges and can learn language WAY faster then grown ups. That gave them a lot of confidence I think, my 5 year old would always repeat it to me. Now I always tell him, remember when Hebrew was hard for you? He corrects me, and already translates for his Dad ( I speak.) Anyways that was my biggest anxiety when I came here so hope it helps! Hope your kids get placed in classes and gans that have kids from all over, we are in a predominately french community, so half my kids class were learning hebrew from French, Ukrainian, and Russian, and half were native hebrew speakers. I think that mix made them feel less weird about not speaking the language.. Older kids do take longer, but they'll forsure get there!!
@@houseoflev I live in Israel..look me up if you want ...May Ha Shem bless you with siatta di shmsya in all your dealings in Israel and may you be an example to other Jews living outside of Israel!
I live a Chabad life,B"H. The only processed food we eat is wine, a few use cold pressed oil. AND NOTHING TOUCHS OUR matzos the first 7 days. 4 or 5 weeks before I clean the big scrubbing jobs. Then it gets a quick clean just before the Yom Tov. Where you put your hot foods down it is best to have 3 layers under. EVERY YEAR I GET BETTER AT THIS. How careful you are can have what things we not knowing did wrong disappear . YOU ARE ALL DOING SO WONDERFUL!!!!
Chazak uvarukh! Dosnt making Aliya usually take 6 months to a year? How did you get to speed the process up? I'm davening and hoping my family and I can make aliyah in the near future to
ברוכים הבאים לישראל!!! It's always amazing to see people WANTING to come live with us in israel 🇮🇱 It's HARD to live I'm israel (I was born and raised here), but it's completely worth it! This country is holy and gorgeous, and the very best thing about it is the Israelis, we are worm and welcoming, so..... WELCOME HOME ❤
The couch- a place of mystery, though you should never be totally surprised at what turns up . Mazel Tov to all of you. love and peace and strength to you as venture forth.
You made a nice video. And just accept with some laughter in your heart that you are still 'students'. You will experience that every year things go easier. You just have to find your own prep routines. Next pesach for sure with your own easy to find seder bord.👍🌻
Some of the most delicious (i.e. cutest) memories of Pesach are how the little kids get the Four Questions just a little bit wrong. If it's good enough, their nephews and nieces will hear of it, and the teasing won't end even when you have grandkids. (The repetition of "mikol haleilot" at the end of each question is quite common. Happens in every household.)
This is so special that you guys are preparing for aliyah and Pesach at the same time. It is literally an exodus for your blessed family. Thanks for sharing the blessings with us! :)
I was super exhausted getting ready for Pesach this year. It felt like I was never going to finish. Now I am still putting the kitchen back together. My husband said I am doing too much but I want to put things in the way I like and not the way there were. Yes, it makes more work but once I'm done it will be worth it.
I hope you all had a beautiful Pesac. I spent Pesac in Jerusalem for the first time ever and it was amazingly wonderful. There is Kosher food everywhere and Kosher for Pesac foods are easily accessible and plentiful. You will be so happy to eat freely without worry and distress. Have a wonderful time moving to Israel! You will be so happy...
@@houseoflev As parents, you will be so happy for your children to have the opportunity to grow up in the Holy Land. The environment is very positive for observant families. What I notice immediately after arriving was the warmth shared amongst families. Be it on the bus, driving through neighborhoods, playgrounds and market shopping you become absorbed in the family relationship connections. You just don’t see so much in US these days.
@@houseoflev Yesterday, I was trying to exchange shoes, for a smaller size, at the Haddar Mall in Jerusalem and being that Memorial Day was approaching I wanted to make sure to shop and return early. Well that is not what happened! I took a different bus to save 20 minutes but actually went the opposite direction, LOL. What happened next was amazing! Classes all over Israel closed early and while I am waiting for the bus to head in the proper direction at least 100 Yeshivah youth flooded the bus stop around the ages (5-12). What a treat to see children playing on the side walk, having stick battles, examining me and my electronics (literally looking directly over my shoulder and near my right side) to see what I was up to. I chuckled from their natural curiosity. And when they became a little too rowdy the men popped out of nowhere to calm them down and give them a lesson or two on how they should behave. They sang Yeshivah songs and danced amongst themselves. Not once did they become aggressive with one another in any form or fashion. I was on the bus stop 40 minutes and thanked Hashem for giving me the opportunity to share in such a special moment. I thought to myself how wonderful it is to be home in the land of my forefathers and foremothers. Your children will thrive!
@@TorahResearchScholar Wow! Thats amazing! I don't even know how to wrap my head around that. Such a different culture. Thx for sharing this beautiful moment with us
Not in any way a criticism of you Akiva and Chava (luv y’all and your content to bits, so inspiring) but I am very curious how Leah and Betzalel feel about the move to Israel 🇮🇱. I realise it is some years away because both are still in high school but as citizens of Israel will they not be required to do national service? The younger bubs will obviously grow up aware and ready for this eventuality, not knowing any different, but how do your older ones feel that in 2-4 years time they will be soldiers? How do you as parents feel about this? I pray for peace as much as the next person, that no Jew ever need lay down their lives again but the threats nonetheless persist. With Hashem’s grace we will triumph but still how does everyone feel beyond the excitement, as there is some very serious, even scary, consideration as a parent and as a teenager to be made. Chag Sameach and All the Best
Some people have a separate pesach kitchen, and they begin to cook after Purim, that’s not my case. I usually kasher 3 days before and during that transition time I make a designated chometz section in my house either down stairs or in the garage.
Even though I don't agree with your religion I think this is great. My mom was Jewish and she lived in Czechoslovakia. And she always wanted to move closer to her people good luck with your move
I love seeing you with your sweet family! I would love to know if becoming Jewish impacted your relationships with eachother or with your kiddos. How has Judaism impacted how you parent? So excited for you!!
it's so beautiful and symbolic that you guys started this vlog, particularly on Pessach- this beautiful holiday that marks our journey back to the promised land after 400 years of slavery. As we say at the end of the Hagada בשנה הבאה בירושלים הבנויה!
Can’t wait to see you guys make Aliyah! Very exciting and definitely worth it, when I’m able to convert I hope to one day make Aliyah and join the Jewish nation of Yisrael
Before the holidays moms maid would clean the house!!! She was from Porteges!! I'm single and its hard to do when family lives far away and I live in a non jewish area in Pa. I also don't keep kosher anymore! Been thinking of emergrating ti Israel, mazel tov on your future move there, my you have all the succuss life has to offer there!!!!!
Am curious where you're planning to dig in roots when you arrive here. Wow what a challenge! Facts: You have to buy closets. Not everything is kosher here, but there are many kosher supermarkets. Our week starts Sunday - Friday work places close but shopping and school are open! A decent sized apartment here is less than 900 sq feet. Most live in apartments. Even though most Israelis are secular, they still love Friday night family dinners with kiddush and love Passover Seders. Hope you had a good one!
Beautiful family! Incredibly faithful to Judaism! You made mi so proud of you! The way you prepared for Passover and Bravo how your little girl sang Ma Nishtana halaila haze mi kol halelot ! beautiful! Thank you for giving us a glimpse on your journey to Judaism! ❤
I’m not Jewish but I love watching your channel and love your little family. Your kiddos are so cute! Good luck on your move and please please be safe! Not gonna lie it scares me a bit with everything going on but I know Hashem will bless you in all you do.
Will you have to serve in the IDF, or are you exempt because you have children, or because you are very religious? Your children are adorable and beautiful, by the way.
IN Israel, the kitchen counter tops are made of ganite. You dont have to cover them with contact paper. You scrub them down, then splash boiling water all over. Walah! Kosher for Pesach.
Baruch HaShem!!!
You’re absolutely amazing! Thank you sooooo much
@@houseoflev you are very welcome. I'm happy for your family. super inspiring!!!
Thank you 😊

What I notice immediately after arriving was the warmth shared amongst families. Be it on the bus, driving through neighborhoods, playgrounds and market shopping you become absorbed in the family relationship connections. You just don’t see so much in US these days.
@@TorahResearchScholar This is truly something special
@@houseoflev Yesterday, I was trying to exchange shoes, for a smaller size, at the Haddar Mall in Jerusalem and being that Memorial Day was approaching I wanted to make sure to shop and return early. Well that is not what happened! I took a different bus to save 20 minutes but actually went the opposite direction, LOL. What happened next was amazing! Classes all over Israel closed early and while I am waiting for the bus to head in the proper direction at least 100 Yeshivah youth flooded the bus stop around the ages (5-12). What a treat to see children playing on the side walk, having stick battles, examining me and my electronics (literally looking directly over my shoulder and near my right side) to see what I was up to. I chuckled from their natural curiosity.
And when they became a little too rowdy the men popped out of nowhere to calm them down and give them a lesson or two on how they should behave. They sang Yeshivah songs and danced amongst themselves. Not once did they become aggressive with one another in any form or fashion. I was on the bus stop 40 minutes and thanked Hashem for giving me the opportunity to share in such a special moment.
I thought to myself how wonderful it is to be home in the land of my forefathers and foremothers.
Your children will thrive!
@@TorahResearchScholar Wow! Thats amazing! I don't even know how to wrap my head around that. Such a different culture. Thx for sharing this beautiful moment with us
Not in any way a criticism of you Akiva and Chava (luv y’all and your content to bits, so inspiring) but I am very curious how Leah and Betzalel feel about the move to Israel 🇮🇱.
I realise it is some years away because both are still in high school but as citizens of Israel will they not be required to do national service?
The younger bubs will obviously grow up aware and ready for this eventuality, not knowing any different, but how do your older ones feel that in 2-4 years time they will be soldiers? How do you as parents feel about this?
I pray for peace as much as the next person, that no Jew ever need lay down their lives again but the threats nonetheless persist.
With Hashem’s grace we will triumph but still how does everyone feel beyond the excitement, as there is some very serious, even scary, consideration as a parent and as a teenager to be made.
Chag Sameach and All the Best
Some people have a separate pesach kitchen, and they begin to cook after Purim, that’s not my case. I usually kasher 3 days before and during that transition time I make a designated chometz section in my house either down stairs or in the garage.
Oh that’s smart! 😃😃😃😃 Thanks for that
Can't wait to have you guys for shabbat dinner!
Maaaaaaan we can’t wait to have that holy Tzfat challah! 🙌🙌🙌🙌
You bring me light❤
So honored!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Even though I don't agree with your religion I think this is great. My mom was Jewish and she lived in Czechoslovakia. And she always wanted to move closer to her people good luck with your move
Thank you. 🙏🏾 Wishing you a continued peaceful life my friend
You are a Jew whether you disagree or not
I love seeing you with your sweet family! I would love to know if becoming Jewish impacted your relationships with eachother or with your kiddos. How has Judaism impacted how you parent? So excited for you!!
it's so beautiful and symbolic that you guys started this vlog, particularly on Pessach- this beautiful holiday that marks our journey back to the promised land after 400 years of slavery.
As we say at the end of the Hagada
בשנה הבאה בירושלים הבנויה!
Thank you so much 😊it’s very meaningful for us!
Can’t wait to see you guys make Aliyah! Very exciting and definitely worth it, when I’m able to convert I hope to one day make Aliyah and join the Jewish nation of Yisrael
Thank you! It should be all on the right time.
Before the holidays moms maid would clean the house!!! She was from Porteges!! I'm single and its hard to do when family lives far away and I live in a non jewish area in Pa. I also don't keep kosher anymore! Been thinking of emergrating ti Israel, mazel tov on your future move there, my you have all the succuss life has to offer there!!!!!
Thx so much brother! Praying your journey continues to bring you closer to your goal! Hatzlacha! Just take it one day at a time.
Am curious where you're planning to dig in roots when you arrive here. Wow what a challenge! Facts: You have to buy closets. Not everything is kosher here, but there are many kosher supermarkets. Our week starts Sunday - Friday work places close but shopping and school are open! A decent sized apartment here is less than 900 sq feet. Most live in apartments. Even though most Israelis are secular, they still love Friday night family dinners with kiddush and love Passover Seders. Hope you had a good one!
Beautiful family! Incredibly faithful to Judaism! You made mi so proud of you! The way you prepared for Passover and Bravo how your little girl sang Ma Nishtana halaila haze mi kol halelot ! beautiful! Thank you for giving us a glimpse on your journey to Judaism! ❤
Your message really means alot. Thank you. 😊
And we appreciate you taking the time to watch
I’m not Jewish but I love watching your channel and love your little family. Your kiddos are so cute! Good luck on your move and please please be safe! Not gonna lie it scares me a bit with everything going on but I know Hashem will bless you in all you do.
Understood! Thank you very much for your support
Can you post more about your aliyah plans? Neighborhoods for amricns? Kids reaction? Wen ur moving? Thanks for the channel really enjoying it
Yes yes!!! 👍🏾 There’s lots to cover! Thank you for watching. We have a new one coming in a few days
Will you have to serve in the IDF, or are you exempt because you have children, or because you are very religious?
Your children are adorable and beautiful, by the way.
I think he’s probably too old to be drafted. Though he might still be able to volunteer if he really wanted to. 🤷🏻♀️
I’m pass the required age.
IN Israel, the kitchen counter tops are made of ganite. You dont have to cover them with contact paper. You scrub them down, then splash boiling water all over. Walah! Kosher for Pesach.
Now that….. is the LIFE!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We’re looking forward to that
We have wooden backgrounds in Israel, too FYI.
Yesssss
