In this video, I take you with me back in time to one of the happiest days of my life. I'm sharing my Jewish orthodox wedding, complete with an outdoor chuppah ceremony under the stars. 😀
As a convert to Judaism, I had waited a long time to be able to marry my best friend in a Jewish ceremony, and it was the most beautiful experience that I will cherish forever.
I hope you enjoy it. 💗

Beautiful. Im also a Jew convert. My parents did not pay for my wedding and they did not go either after the appearance of COVID. The food was cold pizza, and the wedding was inside a small cute synagogue, Baruch Hashem.
Hi Dassy, mazal tov! Thanks for sharing! 🤗
I am not jewish, but it is beautiful to watch. May your wedding and marriage be blessed forever!
@@jayellealafi5797 BH😊 sista..I too gave been a convert many years.. Orthodox. Never been to Israel yet😢.. hopefully soon. Would love to chat with you... do you have a phone number or email?
COVID weddings all around! My wedding was three days before Pesach and a month after New York City essentially 'closed down' back in 2020.
We also had pizza. My husband's flight on Friday got cancelled, so he had to fly in early the day off the wedding. And we got married on the sports turf of our local cheder with barely a minyan, masks all around and a ton of social distancing.
Do I miss not getting to dance with my Nana and my husband's grandma at our wedding? Absolutely. But it was still kind of perfect for our family and our needs. BH i was so blessed to be able to hold onto my mother's arm under the chuppah due to the social distancing of my escorts where I wouldn't have been able to if we'd had a non-Covid wedding, since she hadn't finished her conversion yet. ❤
It all worked out for us, BH, even though it was a difficult time
Weddings in Israel are so amazing. The yeshiva kids make them so wonderful. I remember my son's wedding. Baruch Hashem! Just wow...
Wow I just stumbled onto your channel and have so much respect for you! I am coming up on celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary and we also got married in the old city of Jerusalem with 34 of our closest family and friends. What’s more, my mother and father got married in vegas before she converted. She then converted conservative and than orthodox. They got remarried after my eldest brother was born. As the 5th child from that family dynamic, I want you to know my mother is the bedrock of our family’s Judaism. It’s so so special and miraculous how Hashem puts people together. May your life and family be filled with bracha.
Thank you, wow, what a great story! Thank you for sharing, that is truly beautiful! You actually made me cry. 🤗
It is really miraculous, as you said, how the paths of people cross and just like that, the trajectory of their life can change dramatically. Hashem works in mysterious and wonderful ways. Where do you live now?
🌸Happy Anniversary btw 😊
Thank you for sharing your special, beautiful day. I admit I cried. I wish nothing but the greatest blessings for you and your husband and precious family.
Aww, thank you so much!

Very beautiful Thank you for sharing this
You're so kind! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it.🤗
You looked absolutely beautiful on your wedding day.❤
Thank you so much!!
G-D Bless you and your family, much respect and admiration for those who would take the time and energy to come to a faith and religion which if you ask me is not popular with some gentiles. I was born and raised Jewish not sure of the sect but nonetheless Jewish and from what I have observed there are more and more catholic and other denominations converting to Judaism than I expected. It's definitely a bracha to see that. Shalom
Thank you for your lovely comment! 🤗💕
A lot of respect for you !!!
Thank you!
So beautiful wedding 🥰
Thank you so much! 🥰💗
Wow beautiful
This is very wonderful! The culture is very close to mine. I'm Assyrian/Ashurite with a Jewish great-grandmother also from north Iraq (Duhok, specifically). Does your husband speak Aramaic or Arabic by any chance? 😄
Thank you for sharing these beautiful clips! May HaShem bless you and your whole family!
Thank you for your lovely comment! My husband does not speak those languages, I think he can read some Aramaic, but that's it. His father is fluent in Arabic, but I don't think he passed it on. 😊
Beautiful
Thank you!
Welcome and thanks for sharing
Please be aware if you aren't at the moment that the little girl born before your conversion will need her own later on. Also remember she may not marry at Cohen
Beautiful story you are an incredible and impressive woman
beautiful wedding,
Thank you, I thought so too! 😊
This was so beautiful. It moved me to tears! Thank you so much for sharing this with the world! I recently discovered your channel, and I'm so moved by your story!
If I may, I'd like to understand what sort of guidance the Rabbis gave you in terms of you and your husband remaining together while he headed toward religious observance. Was there any point at which you had to live apart? Being that he was born Jewish and was becoming religiously observant, did the Rabbis not have a problem with the two of you being together before your conversion?
Thank you for all of your content and the detailed explanations that you provide!
Hi ZG, sorry it took me this long to reply. I am so happy you found my channel and that my videos are useful to you! 🤗
Our situation was that we had already been living together for a long time, during my conversion we got married civil and then we had our first child. (I'm not in any way recommending this to anyone, just explaining.)
The Bet Din requirement in our case was that we separate between the time I immersed in the mikveh for conversion, and our Jewish marriage, which there was about a month between.
**I just want to emphasize, every Bet Din and every conversion case is different, and will be handled accordingly.*.
I hope this answers your question. 😊💗
@@jayellealafi5797 Thank you so much for your response. Yes, this is very clear. I figured that there must have been some sort of separation, but this helps me understand when/how. Thanks again!
Mazal Tov. You are such an incredible person. May you both continue to grow in your Judaism and raise your children to be Torah observant jews
Thank you! Yes, with Hashem's help. 🤗
Did you cover your hair before your orthodox wedding? Thank you for sharing. Absolutely beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I started covering my hair about a year before. 😊
your wedding video is one of my favorite for many reasons. the music and dancing. the pronounciation of the bracha. both sets of parents are obviously
very fine wonderful people. a pleasure to see them support their children. i am especially happy for the orthodox grandfather to see his grandson orthodox after a skipped generation. it was so difficult for jews from arab countries where they had been for centuries ( even before islam) to leave
everything behind and flee for their lives. B"H an Israel to go to. jews in iraq since 586 b.c.e. babylonian captivity. Tehillim 137 by the rivers of babylon how we wept remembering zion...HaShem Bless you always. beautiful couple. husband handsome mizrahi sephardi and beautiful wife. may i respectfully ask your ethnicity? thank you.
Hi Valerie, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yes, my husband was very close to his grandfather. He unfortunately passed away over the summer. He had brought his family from Iraq before the creation of the State of Israel, Jerusalem was a tiny settlement. It was a very hard life, but they managed to raise 13 children in a one-bedroom apt. Wow.
My grandparents were American, and Polish/Romanian. 💗
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love is best.
All weddings r nice
❤️
🥰💗
Beautiful and very interesting!
Thank you! Cheers!
2:37 I was wondering "that was an awfully short 29 minutes" LOL
😂❤️
Jayelle: can you please be quiet?
baby: no *continues making noise*
😂 Yup.
You are SO BEAUTIFUL!
Thank you, you are so kind! 😊
☺️
My friend got married here!!
That is awesome! It is a really beautiful venue. 🤗💕
Mazal tov v'chol tuv. My wife and I watched this and the one about you bringing your little girl to the hospital during snowmageddon. Snowpocalypse? Hope all is well with you all.
We are all good, bH! Thank you. ☺️
☺️😊🙏❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Shalom ❤️💯❤️
What day do you get married on?
I have heard through Rabbi Reuvan in the States , he knows a Beit Den ? In New York that takes 2 months for converting…….I have been studying Jewish life what feels like forever , since 2005 I have wanted to get to Israel, in 2008 my life was turned upside down from a vaccine reaction only way I could get to know HASHEM in this family or house, I was my mom’s right hand……It would be a Dream to convert and Marry in Jerusalem…….long story waiting at my Red Sea …….very precarious situation I live in, My great grandfather was Jewish but totally hid their identity and 3 generations of Jews perished in my family……fathers side. The last 14 years been in a CRASH OF A LIFE WHEN MY WORLD CRASHED 14 years ago…..but Israel hasn’t gone anywhere from my heart still there profusely. Love ❤️ Jewish Weddings.
Seeing my great grandfather was Jewish, theoretically I am Jewish on a concealed level. My great grandfather was I think Ashkenazic hailing from Europe, Latvia, Father born in Belgium. Neumann is a Jewish name. My great grandfather was a Neumann.
Rabbi Yaron Reuvan here on TH-cam. Absolutely love him. Praying I can convert through him once HASHEM, Blessed Be He,, moves me , my family doesn’t have years left. I am fatherless and orphaned basically. My mother isn’t well and older brother alcoholism but never drunk. Dying for a Godly family.
I just feel this connection with him, maybe his life story health battle I can relate with. He almost died. I too have been at deaths door more times then I would like to count. His life story is called “” HASHEM took back His millions “” movie here on TH-cam…..his wife is a convert too.
I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, may Hashem comfort you and give you strength.💗
How did you get to drink the wine when you were pregnant during the ceremony just out of curiosity
Amazing wedding footage. What is the Halacha about your child Tamara's religion, as you said, she was born a bit before the end of the process? Thank you.
She is Jewish. She converted at the same time as I, and once she reaches bat mitzvah (age 12) she will return to the Bet Din to be confirmed. 💕
@@jayellealafi5797 Behatzlacha ve'Sheyihie Be'Mazal Tov! (Hebrew reading rules, not Be something... B"H)
What song is playing immediately after the ketubah ceremony
Timestamp?
How did you guys meet ❤
At the shopping centre. 😊 I can talk about this in my Q & A, thank you for the question! 💗
So, because you were civilly married, did you not have to cover your hair until after your Jewish wedding?? No judgement intended but I'm trying to learn. I'm not Jewish but I am a student of religion and culture.
Great question! So, after about a year of being civil married, I started to cover my hair. It's a question if I needed to, since technically it's only "married Jewish women" that are obligated, but since that was the goal I was working towards, I felt more comfortable covering despite the fact that I didn't exactly meet the criteria.
When I finished the conversion program and came to do the mikveh, I showed up with covered hair, but the Beit Din told me I didn't need to do it until after the chuppah.
So there was a period between immersing in the mikveh and the chuppah ceremony where I didn't cover. But I went right back to it following the wedding. 😊
@@jayellealafi5797 great info. Thanks for answering. I'm always curious when it comes to matters surrounding conversion. I don't think I could live by all the Jewish laws you do, but I do find it very fascinating.
@@houndlover870 Believe it or not, as a ba’alei t’shuva/a Jew who repents and returns to Torah observance…following the mitzvot is actually very freeing and not at all restricting as one might assume. When my family was conservative, really more secular…I was always pushing the envelope to observance and sometimes would suggest that we start becoming kosher…as we were eating at the dinner table. My family would ask what we would have to “give up” to be kosher and when we talked about it, it was a resounding “NO!” Looking at Torah observance from the outside looks very restrictive. Then with the many seeds I planted along the way, our three teenage girls decided to become observant and shlepped us along.
Man is programmed by his Maker to thrive with order and rules…too much choice and freedom is unsettling. Obviously, we have free will and lots of choices in Torah observance but some things are not negotiable…and there a comfort in that.
Does that mean your eldest child is not Jewish because they were born before your conversion? Or do they become Jewish automatically? My son is already four years old, and was wondering if he would need to convert.
Great question, it is probably one that should be directed to a Bet Din for the best answer.
What happened in our case, my oldest was approaching 2 yrs old when I completed the process, and she did the mikveh with me.
She has her own certificate from the Bet Din, so technically she converted as well.
Best of luck to you! 💗
Please explain how you were married in a frum ceremony but were pregnant at the time.
We made sins and that's what happened. Not much to explain. ☺️
Sorry just stumbled upon this...did you have orthodox jewish conversion??? Was it difficult?. Hope your family doing well. It is 2023 as i see this
Yes I did do an orthodox conversion. 😊 I suppose difficult is a relative term... there were tough moments, but it's the best thing that ever happened to me.
Sister, Since I was born by blood as a Ashkenazi Jew I know nothing about my religion and the fact that I was Jewish until I learned a month ago I never met a single relative Do I need to convert an order to practice Judaism I very much want to become a religious Jew
Hi, I am happy to hear that you are interested in learning about your heritage!
And good news; "The Code of Jewish Law clearly states that a child of a Jewish mother is Jewish, regardless of the father’s lineage (or whatever else may show up in a DNA test), while the child of a non-Jewish mother is not Jewish."
Here's a good article that you can read; www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/601092/jewish/Why-Is-Jewishness-Matrilineal.htm
Hope this helps you out! 😊

The Kallah looks pregnant
Yep, 8 months. I talk about it in the video. 😊 Finding a dress was fun...😅
We love New Zealand more.
We love Israel.
Am I blind or did the bride have a baby bump?
I was 8 months pregnant. 😂
8 months pregnant for shame
@@joycegrossman9616 Having kids when and how I did was the BEST thing I ever did in my life, I have zero regrets. I only wish I'd had them earlier. Then I could have more. 😂❤
You were pregnant when you got married? Was that allowed?
Check the rest of video
may grandfather rest in peace. i' m sure he had an extremely hard life. the farhud pogroms of 1941 made iraqi jews flee for their lives. the british were
preventing jews from there and other places from immigrating to eretz israel. do you have details? these experiences must be made known. too many jews only know of pogroms in eastern europe. are not knowledgeable about iberia, etc. in iraq in the last several decades too. hanged in the public square. i have books about iraqi jewry ( and every other jewry too). i'm sure your husband's family knows about the iraqi jewish museum in israel-
more accurately called the babylonian jewry museum as jews were in iraq/ babylon mesapotamia since the destruction of the first Jerusalem Temple in 586 b.c.e. kol a kavod to grandfather and wife and family. will you and your husband take dna tests?
Yes, like you said, there were some brutal episodes in the Middle East, although it was generally a more friendly place to Jews historically than most Christian nations.
We don't really have any reason/desire to take DNA tests, no.
😊
I could tell right away that you were not Jewish I could see it in a minute.
I'm not sure what you mean by that..., but thanks for your comment. 😊
is that comment necessary?
I can see your rude manners and lack of intelligence.... You can immediately see that you are not Jewish
What’s the purpose of your comment? She knows who she; a Jewish soul. As a side note: there is a great diversity in the Jewish people’s appearances converted or not.
Well I’m 12% Sephardic and look like I’m from an Irish spring commercial! What does a faith look like? I’m not Jewish. I’m a Christian. Is there a Christian look? I think Jayelle is absolutely stunning and has chosen her path and seems so happy.
