I’m also the only Jew in my family because I’m converting and you helped me so much, thank you very much! ♥️
Aww I’m so glad to hear that my videos help!
This makes me cry happy 😭😭😭😭!!
@@tabithasonger6568 absolutely yes, I'm so happy to have these videos that take me into the Jewish world
@@tabithasonger6568 please dm me on instagram so we can talk about convertion 🥰
@@tabithasonger6568 absolutely, thank you!
My comment was the lonely one on Shabbat in this video, thank you so much for taking the time to help converts out, it really means a lot❤️❤️
One of the ways I found to help feel Shabbat is to have a fancier wardrobe. This way I feel the Shabbat from begging till the end.
Love that!!
So glad it helped!
I know this may sound strange, but my family used to be Christian; but after studying the Bible thoroughly, we believe Jesus kept the Torah. Maybe not all the oral LAWS, but definitely the Tanakh. We have been learning God's FEASTS and Sabbaths since 2017. I really enjoy your videos, they help so much.
That is how our family practices as well 😊
Shalom (peace)! It is not strange. Many people are waking up. Keeping the Feasts is a permanent commandment. YAHshua kept the Torah, he was YAHudi in the line of King David. Shaul (known as Paul) kept it too, and all of them. They never read or followed the "new testament" because it wasn't even written then. But get the Scriptures translated from the Hebrew so you don't have the nonsense of 2 people in 1, or 3 in 1, a "holy ghost" instead of a Ruach and crazy stuff like that. The Father is ONE. Shalom!
HalleluYah! My family, too! ❤️
This is so timely! Thanks for reminding me about the flowers
Thank you so much for answering these Sabbath questions. People in general can learn a whole lot about the Jewish Sabbath day of rest even if there not Jewish. I think Shabbat comes at a nice time during the week since it starts on Friday, I am a big fan of Fridays. Marion, you are such a big breath of fresh air and during these tough times, your videos bring me great happiness!😍
Aww I appreciate that so much! Yes even though I can take some effort to make Shabbat happen I’m always glad I’ve done it to start off the weekend
Thank you sooo much for this. I’m currently in the process of converting so your videos are soooo helpful!
Aww I'm so very glad to hear it's been helpful!
This is such a wonderful video! I am Jewish but wasn't raised observant, and so as an adult, I'm trying to learn and being a practice, the most important being Shabbat, and I really appreciated this video!!
Shabbat Shalom! Thank you so much for your videos Marion. I love learning all about Jewish life and mom life. As someone who is not Jewish these videos help me to understand more about your culture and religion. I have grown such a great appreciation for the Jewish faith. ❤️
Aww you are so welcome!!
Your videos are wonderful. Good Shabbos to you and your family ♥️
Thanks Marion! Here’s my Shabbat tips for anyone who wishes:
-get a small tub freezer, and focus on one pot, one pan, and cold food meals. My mom, for Shabbat and Holidays, would do the first evening meal ‘hot’ so that means food off the stove, and before the evening starts she would set out tea light pot warmers to keep the food on the table warm all night long (in winter Shabbat can even start at 3:30 in the afternoon depending on where you live!) and for the daytime Shabbat day we would eat foods that taste good cold and at room temperature; like great breads, salads, Malabi (which is a traditional cold dessert) and cake.
Fun fact the slow cooker or crock pot we all know and love today was invented by a Jew to keep Shabbat in the 1800’s! So use it to your advantage! Setting a slow cooker with a great hearty soup on Friday afternoon will give you a flavourful medley on Shabbat day.
The freezer is your second best friend to make ahead on a less busy day, like Tuesday for example.
-make a schedule, here’s a sample one, sub in whatever you like:
Sunday: online ordering, answering emails, Shabbat menu planning, pantry check, ideas for Shabbat table (like decorations, and Torah /Jewish subjects to talk about, make a guest list.
Monday: call guests, start preparing the easy frozen food (like fish) get kids/family/spouse/yourself, into actually making or preparing the ideas for the Shabbat table. So if you’re going to discuss a special Jewish value, learn a bit today.
Tuesday: laundry day, finalize who’s coming, make a grocery list of whatever you’re missing.
Wednesday: grocery shopping for the week and Shabbat, wrap up odds and ends like errands, appointments, meetings.
Thursday: clean the house, make your challah dough or the entire challah (there’s a special meaning to making it Thursday night and Friday’s) start on your mains for the meal.
Friday: call up everyone you love to wish them a Shabbat Shalom and ask how their week was. Finish cleaning up the house. Get flowers or something nice for the table if you can. Decorate if you can. Finish up the food, set the table. I remember a tradition to donate food before Shabbat to someone who needs it (your local Jewish family services unit in your city can help you with this) then start Shabbat!
Wow thank you so much for sharing all of this, I love learning from others and thank you for sharing how you do it!
Hello!
Thank you for sharing this important and meaningful message
No offense
But curious to know what is tea light pot warmers?
Slow cooker and crock pot?
Thank you
God bless you
I really enjoyed this video!!
I like to play board games or lego (there's some laws about that, like taking it apart before shabbat ends so it's not considered building...) w my kids on Shabbat. It's something I don't have much time for during the week so that makes it extra special. Also, we eat a shabbat dinner Friday night and a shabbat brunch on Saturday. Eating all together as a family doesn't happen much during the week so we do it then. We catch up on what the kids learned that week, the weekly parsha and just enjoy each other's company
That’s such a lovely tradition! Thank you for sharing 😍
Thank you Marion:) I like the mind space one you talked about:)
I am Christian but love the inspiration and also try to keep a day of rest
I read Atomic Habits. So good! I need to reread it now that I'm going to be a mom in a couple weeks!
Yes it’s totally helpful as a mom to build in those habits into a busy day!
Last year Shabbat and Chagim were so different and now shababt this year,what my shul does, because it's an orthodox shul,they do a zoom Kabbalat shabbat via zoom which really helps! Atomic Habits is a great book my Rabbi actually recommend it to us
Aww that’s so nice that they’ve found a work around, that’s lovely!!
The amazing thing about living in Israel is that u can just open your front door to your house or the window in your apartment building and have a beautiful shabat prayer with your neighbours. U can totally be shomer and be connected with your community at the same time. It actually brings shabat outside to everyone and not only in your synagogue. It's been beautiful
Aww I love that, definitely something special about Israel!
I love that. Shabbat Shalom! 😀✌
Thank you once again for a very enlightening video, I always learn something from you which is great because I’m new at this, and that being said I did have one question you had mentioned something about ordering out food I didn’t know if we were allowed to do that, but if you could just let me know I would appreciate it thank you so much for your wonderful videos. Shalom
Aww I appreciate that so much!! Thank you!
As long as you order and have the food delivered before Shabbat it’s fine!
Hi Miriam this has been another helpful video. I make Shabbat alone and it's sad knowing that Shabbat is joyous with family. I just ordered the book Shabbat The Family Guide to Preparing for and Celebrating the Sabbath by Dr. Ron Wolfson. It covers everything from History and meaning to recipes and activities. Shabbat is so important and it's a practice and habit I want to keep for the rest of my life regardless of being alone or not..I also have Atomic Habits it is a very good book! Shalom and thank you ❤
How are you doing now? 😊
@@birdlynn417 I'm doing well rhank you for asking.
@@debbiestevenson2992 Shabbat Shalom!
@@birdlynn417 Shabbat Shalom ❤
More instant pot recipes please?! I made your chicken recipe last night and loved it!
Just found your book on Amazon! Going to buy :)
What book?
Gosh!
I remember mother, preparing the meal and everything, before Shabbat.
No tv no phone calls, unless it was to a sick family member🤔
But it was amazing when l was young, l remember singing round the piano, and playing appropriate children's games! 😊👍
Writing letters to love ones, was encouraged But some didn't like doing it. But it did help you, to think of others who were less fortunate!
I guess, its about honouring Shabbos. And remembering it can also be fun! I remember how we used to take cakes, or or something to our neighbors just before sunset.
It really taught me, to think of others!
Thank you so much for this video♥
It's help me, remember so many good, habits, and cherished memories! 😊
I remember, a game we used to play🤔
Get everyone to write one thing, you like about about Shabbat, and place in a bowl, and everyone takes turn, to read what's on the pieces of paper!
It really did make everyone focus on good things. And kept everybody in the right frame of mind.
Once again, thank you!
Shalom.

Wow amazing memories!! I love that!

Thank you🤗
Yes they are, lm so grateful for them.
Shalom to you, and you lovely family♥

Can you post how to invite Shabbat in and also the prayers
Shabbat shalom
Thank you!
On Friday night I'm late to start Shabbat like 4 hours
I'm converting and shabbat is always difficult with a busy life with seeing family etc and I feel bad not really celebrating shabbat
I totally get that 🙏
I work as a Librarian, so I have to work a couple Saturdays a month. Do you have any suggestions to include while I'm at work ?
Shalom people
Thank you for this helpful video!
Ive been feeling the pull to observe the Biblical holidays as a Christian. Question: is white wine generally acceptable for Shabbat?
Do you bless the wine then take a sip right after?
Are the candles different than store candles besides the style?
Usually we use red wine but white is fine, we also try to use kosher wine. You drink it after the blessing. Any candles are fine but white is traditional. You want them to have the chance to burn out on their own so don’t use large ones though!
White is fine I’d say red is more traditional (kosher is traditional too) and yes drink it after saying the blessing. Any candles are fine but usually ones that will have the chance to burn out during the night so you don’t need to blow them out
My husband and I are Torah observant Christians as well 😊
You are so right that the value is always the well-being and connectedness of people. The point of ancient laws or norms regarding no tech, no machinery-operating, no chores or gainful employment work was to keep people focused on each other and God one day per week. It didn't even mean long ago that you did not change a soiled baby who would get a rash or you did not milk the cow who would be in pain or you did not collect eggs while fresh from the chickens. And fasting never meant that wee ones with tiny tummies who must eat frequently were required to do so nor those who were elderly and frail nor those who were ill and needed the healing sustenance of perhaps even something simple like chicken soup. None of the rules, practices were originally intended to be rigid, though they seem so when we are rearing others in the faith. It is always pertinent to discuss the intent and not just the ritual, regimen. I live in an area with a large Jewish population, but we have a Jewish Y and Jewish Community Centers, thus I would guess that there are Shabbat suppers and Passover seders and all sorts of communal celebrations, observances at these for the many who may be alone without anyone to share the remembrance of God's work, one's heritage, and expression of oneself among others somehow isolated from the larger community or a congregation. Zoom is how we gather with family now, so it is pertinent to the observance. However, the caveat to that would be that using Zoom to gather does not mean that one answers email or plays video games or continues down the rabbit hole of submerging oneself in tech-related pastimes. Nor should changing the baby's diaper mean you do several loads of laundry. It is fine to do what one must for health, hygiene, healing. Your videos like this are so helpful to Jews & non-Jews.
❤️❤️❤️
What are the Laws of Shabbat, and can you order food instead of cooking
Great videos! Do you cover your hair???
I live with my best friend and my godson who are not Jewish and during the pandemic we’ve been inviting 2 friends over for dinner Friday night which has been such a breath of fresh air during these times. Saturday can be kind of solitary after services on zoom because they often leave to do stuff but I have been enjoying it.... especially after the frenzy of doing all the cooking Friday afternoon by myself 😅
I’m so glad you’ve found a way to make it work!
im atheist and just love your videos .... i like the concept of adapting some of the practices and rituals to work for your current "season of life"
So informative! Was your husband brought up in the Conservative movement as well?
He was yes!
Have not been able to see alot of your videos in a month or so. My question is do you or the kids watch TV and how much will that amount change as they get older? 🤔
We do! Right now they watch two Sesame Street episodes a day and sometimes my older son watches some videos on RUclips about cars
No driving? No aboarding bus? Are we allowed to shop for water and food, or not?
Hi! no se ingles, pero mi pregunta es, podrías facilitar la oración al encender las velas de shabbat? Gracias!

I watched a video that said that non-converts can't celebrate Shabbat, I'm respecting that until I'm converted, do you agree with that? I'm trying to practice all the Mitzvots I can so I get accustomed to and because I take it very seriously and the conversation has such a deep meaning for me and my mental health, but in no way I want to step boundaries. Thank you so much! 🧡
I don’t agree at all, I think it’s a great time to learn and try.
According to Jewish law, as I know it, it's gr8 to practice but important to do just one malacha (Sabbath desecration) to avoid keeping shabbat fully b4 conversion, since the law prohibits a non Jew to keep Shabbat and all its laws
@@zrr471 I mean no disrespect here. But is there a verse in Torah that states non Jews can not keep shabbat? The way I read it, Hashem says repeatedly there is to be one law for the Israelites AND the sojourner that is with them. Anyone that wants to be in covenant with God SHOULD be doing His commands. We are not converts but we DO try our best to keep His commands to the best of our abilities. We stay in our place. We cook prior. We read the Bible. We watch videos from Rabbi Singer, Federow and Skobac to understand the Torah more. We relax and relish this day. We discuss what we read. And when it ends we order dinner out in the winter and in the summer we make sure dinner is done on Friday and warm it up later.💝
Please can you tell me why orthodox men rarely wear ties? It makes there outfits look so untidy.
So not true.... I guess it depends where u live but actually orthodox Jews try to make sure they look extra smart on shabat.
Are you Jewish
I am not sure what the question was, or how it was stated, however "being shomer" has nothing to do with shabbat and means something else. If you are shomer, it means you do not touch people of the opposite sex.
While these videos are interesting and hopefully helpful to people, there really should be a disclaimer ahead of time that states and explains that these videos are about how YOU keep shabbat and what that means to you and your family. They are not, however, any sort of guide on how to keep shabbat. They are about YOUR customs and traditions. But they do not show anyone "How to keep shabbat properly" as many things done in these videos will make someone Mechale Shabbat (breaking the shabbat). Along with shabbat, there are many other things that one needs to pay attention to in order to honor and keep the sabbath. Yes, it is hard! But once you get the hang of it and it becomes second nature and becomes rote, you will find it a pleasure. Yes, it is a long road and journey, but well worth it! Yet none of us can pick and choose what we want. Our basic rules and traditions are exactly that. Basic rules and traditions. That go back thousands of years. To decide that they are no longer useful or convenient is personal. One can make a decision to rule something out, but they need to know what rule they are changing any why!
There's no ownership on Judaism or what interpretation of the law is 'correct', I share my experience as a Conservative Jew and what I feel is right for me.
@@MyJewishMommyLife Exactly! But as many people know nothing about observing Judaism or the different POVs from which people view observance--and why they are different--there should be a brief statement saying as much in the description. Or at the beginning of the video. The name of the channel is not "My Conservative Jewish Mommy Life", yet when things are explained, it is from a Conservative perspective. And the Conservative interpretation of Torah and Judaism. As if it is the "right" way to observe the Jewish religion. Religion (all religions) have rules. Such as Lechem Mishna, etc.. (conservative Jews don't do that??). Yet we all pick and choose. Which is fine, as long as we know and understand what rules we are breaking. Knowing and understanding which rules we are breaking is important, as well as very informative (such as why we bensch licht before shabbat and the prayers that we say, specifically while lighting the candles--and how many, depending on how many kids we have), and why it is so meaningful for Jewish women. Or specific Tehillim we say when making challah. We don't need to make up a new religion--all the work is done already! Sometimes we end up learning that the meaning behind the halacha actually has meaning that adds to our lives, rather than detracts from it. Just as is understanding what the rule is and where its origin comes from (specifically when observing shabbat). For example, kosher is kosher. Full stop. If one bastes a chicken with butter, it is not kosher. If one doesn't keep kosher in their home, they don't keep kosher. One cannot claim that they keep "a little kosher". If one does not understand the halachas of kosher, how they developed, how they changed, and how they are now today, they canot explain it to anyone else. And only by going through the process of learning about kashrut (first from a Torah perspective), can one claim an opinion on it. If one believeswe do not mix meat and milk, or cook a calf in its mothers milk, they should not cook their chicken in butter. And it is Ma'aris Ayin to do so in RUclips. I know people who grew up Conservative and thought they were 100% Jewish and then when the time came to get married, there was a problem. Which is very sad. While the State of Israel has recently broadened the definition of those who qualify as Jewish under The Right of Return, if one wanted to get married at the Kotel, and they were a convert, they would have to show a teudah from an Orthodox Rabbi and conversion. So there are still obstacles for those whose father is Jewish and mother is not, yet want to become Orthodox and be seen and accepted as Orthodox in the Jewish world. Or atleast in Israel. But if the goal is to teach ppl about a way of life via social media, understand why some of it, as presented, is offensive and upsetting to people if it is not presented from the right perspective. Or atleast an explanation and disclaimer at the beginning.
This question should be asked a Rabbi
