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!!!!!
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.💜💐💍
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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! 💖
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
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 .
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
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
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.
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 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.
@@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)
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.
Thank you for sharing the wedding with us.What a gorgeous gown! 😊 you looked really nice. Your daughters dress was beautiful. I bet she enjoyed the time with her cousins. So glad you all were able to share in this joyous occasion. And can we say how daper baby firefly looked! Like a little man. Soon we must call him toddler firefly. Hope you were able to have family time ! Hope your journey home was a safe one. Have a blessed week Chana!
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 🇮🇱
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.
Hi thank you so much for recording this wedding. I loved hearing all the information and listening the music. It must have made your day very difficult so thank you so much xx
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.
I loved loved loved your dress. My favorite part of a wedding is the bedecken, when the Chosson sees his Kallah for the first time, and then the father's blessing, usually not a dry eye. I went to a wedding where the Chosson sang Aishes Chayal before the meal. It was such a touching beautiful moment. Thank you for sharing your Simcha. Mazel Tov
Your gown was beautiful - and thank you so much for taking all of us to this special occasion. May your trip be a good one and may you have a safe journey home.
This is so cool. I just found your channel yesterday and I’m watching this video tonight. I was at my nieces wedding last Wednesday in Chicago. I had never heard of the dress rental place until about two weeks ago when my mother-in-law told me she went there for her dress. The venue you’re at is just like the kosher wedding venue we were at on Wednesday night. I have four sets of nieces and nephews and one of my niece and nephew’s family lives in Israel and she wears beautiful tickles(?)as her head covering. Most of the women I saw who were from Israel wear the head scarves. The women from the USA were wearing wigs or hats. I wore a hat. Great video.
Only G_d knows how the algorithm landed me on your video, but that was such fun! You have such merry eyes and a joyful manner! May you and your family be blessed!
You looked amazing in that beautiful dress. Your head covering matched perfectly. Sometimes it’s nice to dress up when you are a busy Mum. Loved this video. It was so interesting and you looked like you really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing with us xx
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.
You looked beautiful in that dress…even that touch of makeup. Congratulations. Wow baby fireflies….so grown up, and that beautiful daughter of yours….thank you.❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have attended one wedding like this when a relative married an eminent rabbi's daughter. It was certainly an interesting experience. My own wedding was a standard one with men and women together. The rabbi would not talk to me because I was not wearing a wig and my friend forgot there was a modest dress code and wore a strappy dress and bolero. Your wedding looked great and your dress is beautiful. Glad you had a great time.
Hi Channnah.. firstly you looked beautiful and your daughter also. Everyone.. a chosson's tish room has another function.. it is where the groom sits with his father and the rabbinate to sign the wedding document. They also write the sum the groom promises the bride if they part G-D forbid.. and then they go to the bedecken from there. Beautiful wedding mazal tov!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
What a Beautiful Dress❤ The Video was Informative and Fun. What a Awesome idea for a room for the Bride and Groom to have a few Minutes just for them.💐
This was so interesting! Thank you very much for providing a glance at a sephardic wedding! You looked gorgeous! Hubby’s voice sounded great! Baby firefly looked like a big boy! And your daughter’s dress looked WOW!
I’m so fascinated by your religion. I have learned so much. I have a friend who is Jewish and now I know the days to say happy whatever that day may be.
You are beautiful! What a lovely day for you all.your husband must be very proud to have read the vows to them. I can’t believe how big baby fireflies have gotten I mean your daughter and your baby is looking like a little man. I love to see the men dance what a wonderful day and how much fun to be with family. I hope your travel goes smoothly for you all. Love your family and your videos.
I loved this, Chana. My mother's mother was born Jewish but married out, and died when I was 6-1/2. I've never been to a Jewish wedding but have heard about them. This was beautiful. You were beautiful too! Thank you. Love from South Africa.
❤️❤️❤️ Hello Pamela! I’m so happy that you enjoyed this! Always fun to “meet” a South African Jew! We have many here in Texas. Judaism is matrilineal, so there is no marrying out, your grandmother was Jewish, your mother is Jewish, and you’re Jewish ❤️
This was such an amazing video. I have never seen your video's before. I am a Canadian Christian, learning about my Jewish roots. I love the explanation of all of the words. That wedding looks like a royal family wedding (but much more fun). It was the most beautiful wedding, everyone was dressed so beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing it. I am subscribing, and I can't wait to learn more. Thank you!
I’ve never been to an Orthodox Jewish wedding before and your video was so interesting. Thank you for sharing your life event with us. I’m a new viewer and subscriber whose oldest daughter has 7 children and homeschools. You looked lovely in your wedding finery, headdress and makeup. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words and welcome! I am so happy you are here! What fun to have so many grandchildren! Wow that is a lot for your daughter to homeschool, amazing!
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
So cool, you like Thrifting! It’s my favorite thing if I get a day off. I just love the quality that you get for a much lower price.❤ VERY NICE! Especially for growing kids they outgrow everything so quickly.
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!!!!!

Oh Chana you look amazing! So very pretty! EEEKK!
Aw thank you!😊😊😊
Thank you for your kindness with sharing this video.
It's my pleasure
Hi Channnah.. firstly you looked beautiful and your daughter also. Everyone.. a chosson's tish room has another function.. it is where the groom sits with his father and the rabbinate to sign the wedding document. They also write the sum the groom promises the bride if they part G-D forbid.. and then they go to the bedecken from there. Beautiful wedding mazal tov!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for sharing!! Yes, I forgot about that part! Needless to say, I have never been in a tish room lol
Thank you so much. I have never been to a Jewish wedding. It looks like so much fun and high energy.
Oh Chana how lovely you thought to include us in this journey ❤
My pleasure 😊

What a Beautiful Dress❤ The Video was Informative and Fun. What a Awesome idea for a room for the Bride and Groom to have a few Minutes just for them.💐

I’m so fascinated by your religion. I have learned so much. I have a friend who is Jewish and now I know the days to say happy whatever that day may be.
so nice!
That gown is fantastic! Attending an Orthodox Jewish wedding is on my bucket list; it looks so joyful!
I hope you were able to be invited to one day! It is definitely an experience 😀
Ah, I thought you had moved. You are staying in a lovely house. You could not had found a more beautiful dress -you looked so gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
Chana, you look amazing. 🎉 Baruch Hashem for you taking us on this wonderful Orthodox journey.

You are beautiful! What a lovely day for you all.your husband must be very proud to have read the vows to them. I can’t believe how big baby fireflies have gotten I mean your daughter and your baby is looking like a little man. I love to see the men dance what a wonderful day and how much fun to be with family. I hope your travel goes smoothly for you all. Love your family and your videos.
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much Frieda! ❤️ Shabbat shalom!
What beautiful decorations over bride and groom!
I think so too!
Thank you for sharing the ceremony with us. Your dress is simply gorgeous!
Thank you so much Patricia!
I loved this, Chana. My mother's mother was born Jewish but married out, and died when I was 6-1/2. I've never been to a Jewish wedding but have heard about them. This was beautiful. You were beautiful too! Thank you. Love from South Africa.
❤️❤️❤️ Hello Pamela! I’m so happy that you enjoyed this! Always fun to “meet” a South African Jew! We have many here in Texas. Judaism is matrilineal, so there is no marrying out, your grandmother was Jewish, your mother is Jewish, and you’re Jewish ❤️
This was such an amazing video. I have never seen your video's before. I am a Canadian Christian, learning about my Jewish roots. I love the explanation of all of the words. That wedding looks like a royal family wedding (but much more fun). It was the most beautiful wedding, everyone was dressed so beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing it. I am subscribing, and I can't wait to learn more. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! And welcome! I’m so happy that you are here!
That thrift store had amazing stuff. I hope you get to go a few times a year because that stuff was off the charts awesome.
Congratulations to everyone on such a beautiful blessing ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Molly!
Chana you chose the best dress for the wedding ❤❤❤

Your gown was Beautiful, never been to a Jewish wedding. Interesting!

Shopping at gemachim is so fun. I'm not far from Lakewood but haven't been in so long.

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you so much!
I’ve never been to an Orthodox Jewish wedding before and your video was so interesting. Thank you for sharing your life event with us. I’m a new viewer and subscriber whose oldest daughter has 7 children and homeschools. You looked lovely in your wedding finery, headdress and makeup. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words and welcome! I am so happy you are here! What fun to have so many grandchildren! Wow that is a lot for your daughter to homeschool, amazing!
Thank you for sharing. You look amazing. I’m learning so much from your videos. ❤
Have been to a Jewish wedding many years ago. It was very beautiful. Always love a learning experience. Thank you for including us!
Thank you for watching!
I always watch Jewish Weddings on RUclips. Mazel Tov 🎊 to your Niece and her New Husband. Loved your gown you look so pretty. ❤
Thank you!
Oh chana you look beautiful and so elegant ❤❤
😊 thank you ❤️
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
Oh, Chana!! You looked so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this family celebration with us.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing this happy event with us. Everything looked beautiful and joyful. ❤
Thank you for being here!
Loved hearing all your news Chana, just what I needed on this dull Monday in Wales. X
So glad you enjoyed ❤️
So cool, you like Thrifting! It’s my favorite thing if I get a day off. I just love the quality that you get for a much lower price.❤ VERY NICE! Especially for growing kids they outgrow everything so quickly.
It’s very nice to have a store like this available when we visit :)
