  • Update: our wedding pictures and wedding story are now posted! Here is a link: • Our ORTHODOX JEWISH WE... Enjoy!
    I’m off in nature this week but I wanted to be sure you got a video! So today I’m telling you the story of how I met my husband and how we got engaged. I’ve been asked this question often, so today you get the full story! I talk about orthodox Jewish dating, and how I met my husband plus how we got engaged as an Orthodox Jewish couple.
    Hello and welcome! My name is Chana, I’m married to my best friend, and we have three wonderful children together. We also happen to be Orthodox Jews and we homeschool our kids. This video is a sneak peek into our daily lives :) You can see how this particular Jewish homeschool mom sets up her days, rolls with the punches, and gets it all done. Thanks for watching!

    Chana, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago because it popped up on RUclips. So glad it did. Boruch Hashem!! I have been frum all of my life although I did grow up modern orthodox and in my teens I decided to become more frum so I definitely went on my own journey and today we live in Lakewood, NJ. I have really been enjoying your videos. I was watching this video while eating breakfast this morning and I thought it was fantastic!! Couldn’t believe that your husband proposed on your first date!!! That’s amazing!!! I met my husband the traditional way with a shadchan. No cool story there but the work that my husband and I have put into our marriage over 21 years and the growth that we’ve experienced is certainly cool- Boruch Hashem!!! Anyway thanks for your videos and sharing your life with us.

    Thanks for another great video! I would love to see the pictures of your wedding. Something I did for myself this week was go to a Bible discussion meeting which made me feel good inside.

      Oh I just thought of a question. Was his family upset that he didn't marry a woman who was born into orthodox Judaism? Did they pressure him with the Jewish matchmaking you hear about?

      @@CreamyJalapeno great questions! His family was not upset. Quite the contrary, they were thrilled! Converts to Judaism are held in high esteem. They did not pressure him about the matchmaking, but they were definitely hoping he would get married:)
