Hello and happy day to you all! Sorry I’m a little late on todays video but it is worth the wait! I had so much fun putting this together for you and I’m so excited to hear what you think! Don’t forget to subscribe and like ❤️ Thank you!!!!!
Always worth the wait, don’t worry! Loved this video, thank you for sharing ❤
@@coosbaytech thank you thank you!
I really liked the gown and head covering to match, and you do a great job twirling.
Someone mentioned you should open a second hand gown site in your city. I was thinking: Chana? A second hand store?? Yeah, right. Homeschooler, 4 kids( so far) involved in Temple and all the holidays, makes everything from scratch ( good for you😀) Hubby seems to be really busy, I’ll guess your Channa time is taking a shower with at least one little yelling “ mommy” , busy with crafts, some it seems for school, some for temple activities, some just because, keeps a beautiful home, drives kids all over, one child is gluten free, so I say yes, all you need a a clothing shop to give you just a little extra thing to do. Let’s see, in most peoples day there are 24 hours, in your day, I don’t know how to do “ firefly math” but I come up with a 36 hour day. Oh and let’s not forget taking care of a 🐕 dog. Don’t forget, kids not quite old enough ( IMO) to stay home alone, so we all go with mom to Costco, where there are all kinds of really neat things to look at. Someday in the future, the oldest will be able to stay with the littles while you make a quick trip to the post office. That was my first time out ( besides going to nursing school) hubby and I were on opposite shifts so one of us was always with our kids. We had to hire a sitter to come stay at night when I started working graveyard shift and he was traveling sometimes a few weeks at a time. He’s an engineer, I only worked every other Friday Saturday and Sunday nights plus holidays. We did not have time for us until the kids were all in their teens, and even then it wasn’t really just our time, someone always needed a ride or friends over. Married 47 years last week, so it wasn’t as bad as I make it sound. Maybe I was a little too young , 20 years by 1 day, but we made it.💜💐💍
@@fd5818 happy anniversary!!!
What a gorgeous dress! You look beautiful, Chana. Well, you always look beautiful!
Aw thank you so much Sharon! ❤
@@jaroffireflies and your glasses made the whole outfit pop! You looked amazing! ❤
@@TheLazyDutchGardener Aw thank you! ❤️
Facts ladies!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I agee
I’m a Christian and went to my Orthodox niece’s wedding. It was very much like you showed and the dancing was amazing. What fun we all had!
So happy you loved your dress.
What fun!!!
Thank you for sharing. You looked beautiful in your dress. You were very respectful but your viewers were able to see a lovely day through a loving aunt's perspective. I wish for the couple and long and happy marriage.
Pp
Thank you so much!
You look so gorgeous, and so does Miss Firefly. The gowns are just beautiful. But OMG little firefly! He’s so big already!!
He grows up so fast
Very interesting video, so thanks for that! I loved hearing about the dress shop where you got your beautiful dress, and seeing parts of the wedding. I'm Jewish and have never been to a traditional Jewish wedding. My own wedding, 40 years ago, was at the Disneyland Hotel, and we danced to the Mexican Hat Dance! By the way, I'm so impressed that you're raising four children and managing this RUclips channel. Your filming, the explanations of Judaism, and the general narration of your daily life are so informative and entertaining. I don't know how you do it all. By the way, your husband's Moroccan Fish recipe is in regular rotation at our house.
Thank you so much Jackie! ❤️❤️❤️
I completely agree with you - who doesn't feel special, gracious, elegant and different when they put on a gown? I found the whole experience of the 'Secret Squirrel' way of getting to the gowns part of the thrill of it all and very interesting. Chana, my friend, you sat down on that grey lounge, as if you were a Queen who wore such gowns every day. You are beautiful, inside and out.
❤️❤️❤️ I’m telling you the dress thing could have been it’s own video it was such an experience!!!!! Thank you for your kind words my friend ❤️❤️❤️
I'm Christian and appreciate the Jewish roots of my faith. Many of these traditions would have been practiced and enjoyed by Jesus/Yeshua in His life here on earth. Congratulations and blessings to the couple. Your niece has begun an exciting new journey in her life as wife, mistress of a household and future mother. In my imagination i saw her saying the blessing over the candles, as she ushers in the Sabbath in her new home. All the best to her! Finally, that dress was amazing! Would it be possible for you to purchase it? It will serve you well for many years.
Chana you looked beautiful, thanks for sharing your families celebrations, and wishing the bride and groom every happiness. x
Thank you Sandra!
Wow you look amazing in that dress. What a lovely wedding, Mazel tov to your niece! Edit: M. Firefly's reading of the ketubah was beautiful.
thank you Sara! ❤️
Chana, that gown you found is gorgeous! That gown made you shine! The glittery headband over your head scarf and your earrings were the icing on the cake. Thank you for the tour of the kosher wedding hall. The reading of the wedding contract sounded like Mr. Firefly was singing. Hebrew is such a beautiful sounding language. Side note: Your Star of David pendant is beautiful!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I gasped when you revealed the dress 🎊 it was breathtaking! I'm glad you found it for the wedding ❤
Thank you!! 😊
Oh Chana!! The gown is so so lovely !! It suits you and your personality so well!! It is amazing . That is amazing that there is a system to rent gowns. That makes sure there isn’t any waste of garments or spending exorbitant amounts of money.
Congratulations to your niece on her wedding. Blessings and much happiness for married life.
I haven’t been to a Jewish wedding but everything looks so beautiful.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes, I love that gowns are easily available to borrow, so you don’t have to spend a whole lot of money on something you’ll only wear a couple of times. It makes so much more sense this way!
@@jaroffireflies It would work well for wedding dresses as well. It is not like we would wear them again. I gave my wedding dress to a charity that made funeral gowns for miscarried babies. Otherwise that gown would have sat in my closet for decade upon decade with no one to wear it. Such a waste . I have the pictures from my wedding so I can see the dress anytime I want .
@@HappyGirl4666 wedding dress rentals / gemach are soooo common for Orthodox Jews
@@jaroffireflies it is a great idea !! My mom wore her cousin’s dress and then gave it back for another sister to wear for her wedding.
Well!
May I say what a lovely daughter you have . Such a pretty girl.
You really cleaned up @ that store .lol!
Shopping cart was full. I’m sure your daughter was pleased with new outfits.
I must say your dress was beautiful too!
Did Mr . Firefly like your dress?
I think you did him proud.
You & dress ( gorgeous)
Thank you for sharing such a special ceremony with the rest of us .
Sending prayers & blessings to firefly family 💕
Dear Chana, your video is delightful! I was raised Jewish in a tiny town in North Carolina. I learn so much about Judaism from you!
I wanted to say two things:
1. it is so wonderful to see the joy on your face….Judaism and your communities seem to bring you such happiness, contentment, wonder, and sense of belonging; and 2. As you know, we’re living in a frightening era of antisemitism all over the world. THANK YOU for sharing such joy and GOOD news. This video, full of “nachas,” made my heart sing.💙
With much love and gratitude, Maralyn in Virginia
Aw thank you for this lovely comment! ❤️❤️❤️
Ohh, Chana...! Your dress is sooo pretty! I just love the embellishments, really different. Good choice! And you look so gorgeous at the wedding. Look at Baby FF, dressed like a little man! So adorable. Thank you so much for taking us along to this very lovely wedding. I have seen videos of a couple of Orthodox weddings, but the vloggers did not include everything you did, like the washing station. I thought that was so interesting, and perhaps the guest/vloggers at these other weddings did not understand the significance of it, and other things. So thank you! This was so much fun. Love to all, see you next time! 💖
So glad you enjoyed and it helped you to understand better! Thank you for your kind words and for being here ❤️
This was a happy happy video. Thank you so much for taking the time to bring us to such a happy event.You looked stunning and the smile and happiness in your face said it all🎉❤Ireland
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Chana, you looked stunning in your gown, I learned so much about Jewish weddings. Baby Firefly has gotten so big. I love to hear him laugh and chatter in the back round of your videos. -Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Marianne ❤️
What a lovely video, Chana. You looked gorgeous in your gown, and your little baby Firefly walking around was a vision!! Thank you for sharing this simcha.
Thank you so much! I am so glad you could come along through the video!
Thank you for sharing this special occasion with us. How beautiful. Yr gown was breathtaking. It fit like a glove on u. Congratulations to the happy couple
Thank you so much Diane!
What a gift! Thank you for sharing this wonderful celebration. So much joy! And you looked beautiful.
Thank you so much! You’re very kind!
Chana, you look absolutely radiant! That gown is gorgeous and paired with your head covering and makeup makes the complete package of awesome! Your daughters dress was also beautiful!
Thank you so much Sandy!
You looked absolutely beautiful! The dress was gorgeous, but you made it stunning. What a joyous wedding. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
Thank Annette! ❤️
Your dress is gorgeous. I appreciate how much you were able to film of the wedding.
Thank you so much! I’m so glad that you enjoyed!
Thank you so much for taking us along to your niece’s wedding. I was fascinated by all of the details. I haven’t ever been to a Jewish wedding, so this was all new to me. I so much appreciated how much everyone dressed up to honor the beautiful bride and handsome grooms and their commitment to each other.
Thank you for watching! So happy to hear that you enjoyed this!
@@jaroffireflies Thank you for taking us along. Your gown was so beautiful! I wondered: has your biological sister also converted to orthodox jewdaism? So she raised her children as a orthodox jewish mother and your niece is a jew through that? I thought your siblings and origin family would be christians. It's okay if that is too private. (English isn't my first language, I needed to look words up. I am German)
Oh, I think you write Jew and Jewish starting with capital letter. Sorry.
@@LeaSonnenscheinTrier hello! Thank you for your kind words :) My niece was from my husbands side. So it’s his sister’s daughter :)
Just one groom, typing error. :)
You're so joyfilled I got into the mood with you
Aw I love that 😃
You look so amazing!The dress and the head covering was perfect together. And baby Firefly, my, my, has he grown! Mazel Tov to the bride and groom!

Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
I absolutely loved this ❤this video, Chana! I have never been to a Jewish Wedding and have only watched on video some of the Ashkenazi wedding ceremonies. One of the many things I love about Jewish Weddings are the true happiness and authentic joy that comes through in ever part! It has its solemn aspects but, overall, it is just exuberance and joy. Thank you again for sharing! Praying 🙏🏻 for all of you and Israel 🇮🇱
Thank you so much Teresa! ❤️

How can I ever thank you for sharing this?! It’s incredible, and you look fabulously filled with joy! I’m a learner, and lover of Global cultures and traditions. The fact that I taught Global and US history at high school level for 33 years might have something to do with that. 😉😉 Your dress is truly magnificent! Thank you so much.

First of all, on the second hand shop, the beige crochet mobo that you bought for your little son is so beautiful!
And your dress??? So elegant and special! The litlle gold stones look like a papatia flower...gorgeous!
Thank you for share with us this special celebration. The weeding hall is amazing too.
🌬️💕
Thank you for your lovely comment and kind words! So happy you enjoyed!
Fantastic video! Well done! I’m impressed that you had the time to film, what with a toddler, three other children to look after, a ceremony to give attention to, etc…. I have never been to a Jewish wedding, but am so glad you gave us a glimpse into the joyful celebration. (BTW, you looked radiant in your gown 😊)
Thank you Monika! I did a lot of the filming later with the add ins, and my husband had the kids as well, so my hands weren’t as full as you may think :)
You look so happy and like you are having a wonderful time. It is so good to see this for you.
Thank you Betty! 😊❤️💐
I ABSOLUTLY love your dress Chana! 🥰It is so beautiful. The Wedding was lovely. I have been to a Jewish wedding but it was a more modern tradition (if that is a way to say it) lol. Thank you for taking us along. Much love to you and your wonderful family🥰
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! This video was amazing and you looked very beautiful in your gown!!
Thank you so much Trina!

Chana, Mazel Tov!! You look beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this special event with us!!
Thank you so much!
Oh Wow Chana thank you so much for taking us along to your niece's wedding, it looked amazing. You looked fabulous in your gown, as you sat on the grey sofa towards the end of the video I thought that would make a stunning photo of you with your dress splayed out. Your little girl looked gorgeous in her dress too. I can imagine the fun you had sourcing them albeit sounding a bit "cloak & dagger" in locating the basement where they were stored !! Thanks again Clare xx
Thank you so much 🤗 wasn’t the dress place just too much fun?!? Such an experience lol
Love that dress-you look like a firefly! I look forward to your videos every week!
Oh thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

I loved your dress. Your daughter’s dress was also lovely. You looked very nicely put together for the wedding. I enjoyed your shopping expeditions. You being a typical mom, filled your shopping cart with things for the children. Good for you. Thank you for sharing this video. I have never been to a Jewish wedding. I have seen them on TV, of course. I enjoy the singing, dancing of the Jewish weddings. Thank you for sharing your culture/religion with us.
Thank you for your kind words and lovely comment :)

That was such a fun video. I can’t believe how much Baby Firefly has grown up.❤
So glad that you enjoy it! Yes, he is growing up so fast its a little ridiculous 😂
Thank you for inviting your viewers to the family wedding. Chana you looked lovely in your gown and the makeup was applied so nicely, just enough to bring out your natural beauty with light enhancement of color to your complexion and lips. Looking forward to another video. All the best.
Thank you so much 😊 I appreciate your kind words!
