As a biological Jew who was adopted and raised by christians and is currently in the process of legitimate conversion, your videos are so, so, so, so encouraging and helpful...I feel more at home each time I watch them...so thank you, for what it's worth...
Raised as a Christian in Alabama it is so nice hearing you explain Jewish lore and Holidays. We all have some much to learn and appreciate. Happy Holidays.
My family tradition to break the fast definitely includes Bagels, cream cheese, and lox as well as lots of ice cold pickled herring. These are must haves around here!
You should celebrating the shabbat friday from 5:00 (earlier 1 hour) until Saturday at 7:00 (later 1 hour) - about 26 hours ( depens the date of the year & the long of the days)
Thank you, I am new to the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur and this will be my first year to celebrate and fast also take my walk with Father God to a higher level. I will need some guidance so I will visit your channel to learn more. Yahweh is lifting my awareness to him and Yashua with the help of the HolySpirit.
My daughter and I are LOVING your videos from New Zealand! Our family has a tradition of teaching children to fast 2 hours for every year of life as a way of gradually easing them into it gently. So a 4 year old sleeps through it. As do most 5 year olds (no food for an hour or two before bed, and the sleep through the rest of the time). By age 7 or 8 children will need to wake and wait an hour or two to eat before reaching the 14 or 16 hour mark and many of them quickly work out sleeping in makes this easier! Down here in Christchurch the mothers then make a big deal out of how long the child went as we are such a tiny expat community so most of the children view each other as though they are “cousins”....Moving to Wellington next year but if you ever find yourself heading to New Zealand give a shout out and happy to host you for a meal!
Shana Tova, Marion! I hope you and your family had a great Rosh Hashanah:) I went to Rosh Hashanah service at synagogue for the first time ever and I loved it! I'm so looking forward to the upcoming Yom Kippur service! I just want to thank you again for being such an inspiration in my spiritual journey. I wish you and your channel lots of success in the new year! ❤️✡
I just adore the way you explain things....don't think it can be done any better. Shana Tova, dear Marion, Andrew, Max and Corey!!! May God bless you abundantly
I agree, fasting is such a blessing, but it can be hard! I love this service, l had the privilege to watch it. Having a flesh start, is a wonderful gift! Thank you for sharing. Moira From England.
I remember thinking it was SO weird that our synagog served pickled herring and honey cake to break the fast. I remember thinking “you haven’t eaten all day and THIS is what you pick first?” But recently I’ve found myself missing it (even though i literally haven’t had it in over 15 years!)
Marion thank you so much for all your videos. You were meant for this and I appreciate it so much. I'm learning and living and you've helped me so much. Thanks 💛
The Day of atonement isn't only for Jews it's not a Jewish holiday it is one of God's Feast....everyone should be celebrating this time especially christians.
One law is for you of the assembly and for the stranger who sojourns with you - a law forever throughout your generations. As you are, so is the stranger before יהוה. Bemiḏbar (Numbers) 15:15 TS2009
Great video about Yom Kippur. I hope you and your beautiful family had a wonderful Rosh Hashanah. It makes me so happy that I am able to connect with someone has awesome has you are!
Kol Nidrei is my favorite service, it's just so beautiful. I grew up as a New York transplant in South Florida so yes Bagels was what we always broke the fast with and nothing like carbs to get some energy back.
I unfortunately will not be able to fast due to my medical issues. I have low blood sugar so I need to eat every four hours. Good Yom Tov! Kol Nidre the prayer sends the shivers down my spine. I wear a tallit and kippah since I am allowed to as a Reform Jew.
Happy belated Rosh Hashanah. From our families to yours as my grandmother used to say it to us in Russian translating for you to English on Rosh Hashanah we are inscribed and on Yom Kippur, we are sealed. I have not been allowed to fast due to my medical issues and other things. We had a great Rosh Hashanah holiday and took our book to our local Chabad shul to attend service and for him to hear the shofar not to mention to touch the Torah. Since he is only almost 21 months old and not yet independently walking it is hard to just leave him with other kids to play while we go to service. So my husband and I trade-off when we go to attend services. For Yom Kippur we will be doing the same I am going to go to some of the service and my husband will too with trading-off once again in watching our boy. Our mom's club does meetups each week and one of them happens to be on that day of Yom Kippur with a mark playdate. I know I am supposed to attend services with our little one or be home so it is hard to decide on what to do because I know it is a holy day where you are not supposed to be doing much other then saying sorry with praying.
We always break fast with breakfast/brunch. I just can't eat anything heavy or leafy. I need bread-like products. LOL. We do eat a heavier feast before it starts though. I haven't fasted in so long.....at least, not full fasting. I can't, neither can my husband. So, we try to keep to liquids or liquid foods. Like, broth and shakes and stuff. It's never fully satisfying, but we are getting in the type of nutrients we need to not get sick (or when I was breastfeeding after baby started some solids). Also, I allow my daughter, who is 14 this year, to do the same. I feel like we are still kind of getting the message, and not getting sick. I always say "just do your best, that's all you can expect of yourself".
It shap your resistance & the sturdiness of your personality and the your emotional intelligence, self discipline. when you overcome difficult situations.
Can you do a video explaining the thing you wear across your shoulders? The thing you wear when you get married and buried (I'm so sorry I don't know what you called it). Or maybe just a video explaining Jewish funerals? I went to one and had no idea what was going on and felt so bad because it was my grandpa. :(((((
I wear a tallit which goes across my shoulders. It’s a prayer shawl. It’s a worn traditional for just men. As a woman in the Reform Jew I wear it. It’s to bring us closer to G-D during prayer. I have my grandfathers tallit which means so much to me. It makes me feel like he is there with me and is hugging me along with feeling closer to G-D.
I have gotten a lot of requests about funerals and shivas I will definitely film a video about it and talk about what people wear and who wears a Tallit etc. which is I think what you're talking about, it's a prayer shawl mostly worn by men but women in more reform and conservative communities as well.
@@MyJewishMommyLife yessssss! Awesome. Thank you for explaining Judaism. You have no idea how much I appreciate it! I didnt meet my grandpa until I was 18, so understanding his religion is super important to me! ❤ hope your new year is off to a good start girl.
I think I understood Yom Kippur fairly well already somehow ... perhaps from childhood friends. I have to say though ... To be in a household where some people are fasting and others are not ... That has to be torture.
You can not cook on Yom Kippur!! It's holyer day than shabbat. About the 24 hours. It is 26 hours. At shabbat, Yom Kippur and other holidays it is 26 hours: from earlier 1 hour to later one hour. For example at the spring time (when the length of the day and the night are equel) the shabbat begins from friday 15:00 until Saturday 19:00. At the winter from Friday 16:00 until Saturday 18:00. At the summer from Friday 18:00 until Saturday 20:00. There are times of the enter of every sabbat and every other holidays indicate in every Jewish calander
I have two but I had a pregnancy before my oldest son was born which sadly ended in the second trimester so it's been a few years now of being pregnant / nursing on and off.
I ask all Jewish people and my friends.what did you do wrong for god on earth to forgive you.. Are talking about god man on earth.Or the sun 🌞 of god that shine on us?
What’s the real story why you celebrate it ? .. I don’t understand it ? just for God you keep fasting .. and why god allowed pregnant women not to fast ? Is he dr or something ..🧐🤔
@@MyJewishMommyLife I agree with Maria.........you may encounter a verbal speed wobble. Just teasing. I love your vids from half-blooded Jew. Keep up the good work.......been following your channel since beginning of last year. Shalom to you...
You shouldn't be so giddy and saying over and over again, "You Guys..." Highly unprofessional. Also, there is absolutely NOTHING WRONG with having a bagel to Break the Fast. Meat? I am a Vegetarian. To me you devouring MEAT is a Sin within itself. That creature was slaughtered.

I am trying to reconnect with my Hebrew heritage and found this video. Thank you for posting!
Im fasting two days a week, and Im also celebrating the sabbath from friday 6 pm to saturday 6 pm.

Thank you, love South Africa!
I am muslim and we have a lot of similarities of fasting etc. And we do wear white with same reason 👍
Love that! Thank you for sharing!
Please don't compare judaism with Islam. Please.

I love these fact videos, Marion. I’ve always loved Kol Nidrei and the cello music at our services. You’re right that it’s unlike any other.
Thank you Melissa!!

Yes Marion thank you for that information.
Thank you for taking the time to share your beautiful religion ! (:
Hope you and your little ones are staying safe !
You're so welcome, thank you for your kind message!
I learned so much! I had heard of Yom Kippur but had no idea what it actually was until this video!
You will not see car on the streets all over the Israel country. Only bicycles and emergency car services
Ahhhh love it!! Your kids are sooo lucky to have you!
Aww you're so kind, thank you!
I just adore the way you explain things....don't think it can be done any better. Shana Tova, dear Marion, Andrew, Max and Corey!!! May God bless you abundantly
Thank you so very much 🥰
This is a great introduction and review for all levels. Thank you for concisely explaining the symbols of the holiday!!
Thank you so much!! So glad you liked it!!
Thank you for the information on the fasting and meals ideas for breaking the fast. What will you be doing for your family for Yom Kippur?
I agree, fasting is such a blessing, but it can be hard!

Do you do miktzah stuff on Yom kiper
G’amar chatima Tova
what month is it held?
Usually it falls in the English calendar in September or October!
Thanks
I looked at the Machzor for Yom Kippur in shul today, and I turned to the Musaf section.... It's like 300 pages long.. 😢😢😢 ... ugh.....
Yeee. It's havy serouse day
If you only have to fast for 24 hours why can’t you just cook the day before? That way you can have a nice meal when it’s time to break your fast…
You can not cook on Yom Kippur!! It's holyer day than shabbat.
About the 24 hours. It is 26 hours.
At shabbat, Yom Kippur and other holidays it is 26 hours: from earlier 1 hour to later one hour. For example at the spring time (when the length of the day and the night are equel) the shabbat begins from friday 15:00 until Saturday 19:00.

I wish you would make a video with your mother. You are so sweet, it must be connected to her too ...
I love that idea lol!! Yes I am very close with her.
WE LOVE YOU, VERY SOON
How many children do you have? because you siad you have not fasted for 5 years
I have two but I had a pregnancy before my oldest son was born which sadly ended in the second trimester so it's been a few years now of being pregnant / nursing on and off.
@@MyJewishMommyLife ok, do will you have more children. Is it common to have more than 1 child

How sucot?
I ask all Jewish people and my friends.what did you do wrong for god on earth to forgive you..
Are talking about god man on earth.Or the sun 🌞 of god that shine on us?
Sins that hurt others that we didn't know we had committed.
So no water?
That's correct!
What’s the real story why you celebrate it ? .. I don’t understand it ? just for God you keep fasting .. and why god allowed pregnant women not to fast ? Is he dr or something ..🧐🤔
