I am a teen who has been considering conversion to Judaism for a while now! Your videos are so helpful. When I look at pics of Synagogues or vids like this I just feel at home. I love the community there is with Jewish people. 💞💕
You definitely should! I am currently in the process of converting. My advice is to see if there are any synagogues near you and don't hesitate to contact them! They should give you all the information you need and be able to answer all your questions. You can also attend a few services if you want, as long as you notify the synagogue beforehand. (Also, make sure the synagogue you choose is part of the denomination you want to convert to). First and foremost, you have to take 2 courses before you move on to the rest of the conversion process: Introduction to Judaism and Choosing Judaism. The synagogue should have them. Just ask when they have sessions available. The overall process should take no more than a year. But it will be worth it! I promise!
I know very little about Judaism and have no one in my life who is Jewish, but I really loved this video because it was so easy to understand even as someone with no knowledge and your absolute joy talking about your faith was infectious. I learned a lot about Shabbat from this video, 99% of which I didn’t know prior, so thank you :)
Shalom! This Friday evening I will celebrate and observe Shabbat (the real and correct one) for the 2nd time ever in my life (I will turn 70 years old next week...Last week I simply rested and studied the word, as I did not know what else to do...but I watched your video and took notes, so this Shabbat I will do what you taught me...today I bought my first loaf of Challah bread. I want to keep JeHoVah's commandments! because I love Him! Thank you!
Thanks a lot! I just started working in a Condominium building which has majority of Jewish people. I was asked to put the elevator on service for Shabbat. So, the person doesn't have to call the elevator. The elevator just continuosly moves up and down while stopping on each floor. This prevents people from calling the elevator or pressing the switch for the elevator. This was a bit difficult for me to understand. But, your video has given me a great insight to Shabbat. So, thanks a lot again!
I was raised Christian and tried Shabbat once as a homeschool project with our kids! Changed our lives forever! Don`t wait for the `right time` or the `right items`, just start with what you have and what you know and you will get better as time goes by. Just do it! ;)
I love Shabbat because it is a commandment. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. I am Christian and I partake and celebrate Shabbat. Thank you for this video. G_d bless you!
Not sure what you mean in American law. Does That means the United States should legalize a commandment or laws that requires stores to be closed and no commercial businesses to be open like bars, movie theaters, so forth like it was years ago during Sunday when people thought that the sabbath was changed to that and kept it wholly that way. But we know that the sabbath is a sabbath the seventh day. Sunday is the 1st day of the week and the sabbath was never changed just people did it for religious reasons. Unfortunately if you legislate something like that it will be no different than the last days when the Vatican and the papal rule will mandate that everything is closed and everyone worships on the 1st day of the week Sunday again. schools will be closed stores will be closed no buying of conducting business. No working.This includes for the Jews as well as christians that keep the sabbath. We have to do this because we love God and he commands us to keep the sabbath. We followed his laws and his ways not man's ways. Do you say that's more reasonable and more spiritually true? 🙂
Thank you so much! I'm a Torah keeping Christian. I be been trying to get into practicing Friday/Saturday Shabbat for several years. This Friday will be my first actual endeavor. Thank you for the blessings for the candles, wine and challah. I'm not sure about the challah. But, I have an idea. I hope my humble attempt is worthy. I'm so glad I found your channel.
I too, am a Christian following the Torah. I have long felt a deep bond to Jerusalem and Judaism, my family follows shabbat...and these videos help so much. Thank you Jewish mommie😀
I am intrigued by your statement of you being a Torah keeping Christian. I have always been drawn to Judaism . i would love to hear what you mean by the statement.
I'm an ex-Christian, and only recently discovered I feel *really* connected to Judaism. I was raised in a diverse area (my church was a block away from a Greek Othodox church. I've started limiting my phone use from Friday evenings to Saturday nights.
@@MyJewishMommyLife hello madam, can you tell me that if there were no emergency situations back in the first century, then was travelling allowed on sabbath? if one were to travel, then would it have been short distances?
I am a non-practicing Catholic but I think the Jewish religion so fascinating and beautiful and the one thing I incorporated in my home was our own version of the Sabbath and in my case it’s turning off all devices and it’s a freedom to know that I cannot check my email every hour or waste my time on the Internet. I like the idea of going off the grid for a certain amount of time to recharge our batteries.😊
Marion, this is a beautiful video. I was brought up very secular, even declared myself an atheist at one point! It was quite a process to becoming religious, but I can definitely pinpoint the very START of my journey, and the START of sparking my Jewish soul with being part of a Shabbat meal at college. :)
I am working to immigrate (convert) to Judaism. Your explanation of how to properly acknowledge Shabbat is great. It is nice to see that there is a lot of room for personal/family practices that honor the Jewish spirituality. thank you. ok
This is awesome, I love learning families religious practice. I actually grew up in a Shia household, and we had a gethering every Thursday night, to recite prayers that welcomes the awaited Mahdi. See, Shia Muslims are expecting that the coming Messiah will be arriving on a Thursday, so will have a Majlis, basically about that. I'm not Muslim now, but I noticed that many Jewish things remind me of my Islamic upbringing. Today I actually practice Hinduism, and I'm very happy and grateful in that now, but yes , I enjoy various cultures, and Judaism is one my favorite.
Thank you for posting this series. I’ve started my conversion process. I’m glad I found your channel to see how your family celebrates events and Shabbat.
We found out years ago that we are part Jewish, bc we were both born into strict Catholic households. I love the Jewish people, we have Jewish friends who are lovely people. God bless you.
Marion, to avoid the prohibition of tearing on Shabbat my mom and grandmother would sit at the kitchen table and measure out a length of toilet paper and then roll them into balls and keep a basket full of these paper balls in each bathroom. On Friday afternoon in preparation of Shabbat they would go and remove the rolls and place one of the baskets out in the bathroom for use on Shabbat. I still do this to this day.
Thankyou, iam still learning as a gentile believer grafted into the vine, celebrated the passover in our home this year was beautiful and special, ahmein
I love the story about the challah cover. How wonderful for Max and Corey Bear to have such a fun memory from your childhood ... and now it's part of of theirs.
Thank you so much for these videos. I love them! I too am a convert and although I've been celebrating Shabbat on my own for many years (prior to conversion), I'm learning new things through your videos. I'm at the other end of the spectrum, though. Single with no children, so Shabbat is very different for me. Looking forward to more videos. Hopefully a havdallah one and some recipes!
I’m so glad to hear you are liking them!! When I was single I used to go to synagogue a lot for Shabbat as it was nice to be with friends, it can definitely be different.
Loving these videos Marion! Could you do a video where you sing the songs and blessings that your family uses? I would love to know what music you have on your Shabbat playlist too if you'd be willing to share some of your faves you mentioned last week. 😊
Oh yes Shabbat playlist will be in my next video about Shabbat with kids (though the songs are not all kids songs by any means). And I love the idea about sharing the melodies to the prayers, thank you 🙏
The reason that I like for lighting two candles is that Only G-d and He alone can divide the Holy from the profane .In lighting two candles He lights the way that we may find His Holiness.
Marion! I just wanted to say that I'm loving your channel. I'm currently in the midst of conversion and there is SO LITTLE CONTENT on judaism on youtube (that's cute and relatable anyway). Just wanted to tell you that I appreciate you and what you're doing here
25 hrs Friday night-Saturday night 10 commandments Rest, joy - Friday night go to synagogue, /dinner Torah read Meal 1, 2 wine, candles, bread 🍞 18 min before sunset 🌅 Washing your hands , be silent , then prayer -have bread Song 🎵 Light candles, bless the wine 🍷 Bread / sweet ( Hawaiian roll possibly) Pray Now the meal
This was so lovely. Can I ask you a question? I mostly see two candles for Shabbat. But have often seen videos with several lit at one time. Someone once told me they light a candle for every family member (although I think traditionally two are usually featured in any imagery I see about Shabbat). Are both usually done as the family grows? Or are more than two unnecessary? Or is it ....up too you? Thank you for sharing. 💗🙏🌺
On the mention of coins for Tzedakah, I have to wonder what someone might do if they avoid using physical currency? Maybe incorporate it into a donation on their card?
Thank you so much for your wonderful and informative videos! I love Judaism and have family ancestry of such.. I am looking into possible conversion to Conservative Judaism. Your videos help so much!
Love your videos and all the insight. MY Dad was Russian Jewish born in 1932 but lived in u.s.a. so between that Not Knowing his family and having a Catholic mother I never knew that much about Judaism. your videos are very much appreciated for ppl like me' Thank You!
Thank you ma'am For making this precious video. I am learning to observe the Shabbat day. No offense But want to understand You said about praying for family and ourselves while backing and braiding the bread? Then bless the bread at the table, saying the prayer that you have mentioned above. Then breaking the bread and dipping in salt etc Please can you explain me all this again Sorry For my poor understanding Thank you so much, ma'am. God bless you and your family with a happy and successful long life.
Hello there! could you do a video about Shabbat's songs? they are very special, a video dedicated to those could give an idea to what it means "to be in the mood for shabbat" :)
Dearest Marian, Thank you so much for making such an interesting and inspiring video about Shabbat💐 Please show us some yummy Shabbat recipes🍧🍪🍓Looking forward to seeing your next video😍Chaya Leya
Interesting, Greeks have a similar bread called choureki, traditionally it is eaten during easter or pascha. I might be wrong but I think it is called pascha for Jewish people too. I actually looked this up because I did some research on Judaism and was amazed to see how much Greeks and Jewish people have learned from one another and even assimilated certain aspects of each others culture. Even our flags are the same color! God bless.
Actually Paska and Pascha mean Easter (also the Easter bread eaten in Ukraine is called Paskha) but it was taken from the Aramaic word for Peasach.. If you notice the timing for Easter is always around Passover. If you actually translate the word Passover(NOT Easter ) into Ukrainian and Greek...the word is the word for Easter!
How do you do and deal with birthdays and parties or graduation parties? Especially when dealing with family and friends that are not Jewish. All these are usually Friday night and saturday... We have a huge family and we will be the only ones who will be observing the sabbath.
We are not that strict so we will go to parties etc. on Shabbat. I know it is so hard though especially if you're not living in an Orthodox community with all religious friends and family!
Love your channel!! I know Catholicism is the fulfillment of Judaism (thats my beliefs) on our day of rest Sunday it’s centered around the three main components the bread (Eucharist) wine (blood) the priest blesses(prayers) these gifts and it becomes the and we light candles because God is the light of the world!! We keep the sabbath holy in order to reorient our lives back to God. We give glory to God by the holy sacrifice of the Eucharist. And it’s a meal but it’s the best meal bc it’s body and blood of God. What a gift he’s given to us!! Anyways God bless you and your family.
I would like to introduce my grandchildren who are 8 and 5 to Shabbat. What activities would you recommend besides the prayers over challah, candles and wine?
You’re very welcome! We do not strictly observe Shabbat so sometimes we go to schul other times we dont. We like to go on walks or go for a hike. We try not to do errands or things like that but sometimes we still do.
@@MyJewishMommyLife thank you! It is so helpful to hear all parts of the spectrum of observance. I've really only heard the black or white of it- all the way or they don't observe at all.
Thanks for so much love and shearing ,I will be in the kitchen tonight for iam serving a shabbat dinner. IAM so happy to be part family get-together thanyou
Beautiful video! I know that your mother in law made that Challah cover for you and it is SO beautiful! I have been needing to get one for our family but now none are beautiful enough! lol Would your mother in law take orders?
Aww thank you so much! I'm sure she would but it's a long long labor of love I think it takes her more than a year or two as it's just a casual hobby for her. You can buy a needlepoint pattern like it if you want to make one of your own though or know someone who needlepoints!
Thank you again. I washed it with my husband on TV but he had trouble hearing you. We suggest that you use a mic and speak slower, as it was difficult to follow you. Todah

What a beautiful job explaining Shabbat. My mother used to say that we cover the challah so it won’t be embarrassed that it was last.
Yes same!! Love that explanation 😍
Thank you for this nice introduction to Shabbat. I have been invited to celebrate for the first time with my Israeli friends! Shalom Shabbat!
Your channel is making me realized how subconsciously connected I feel to Judaism it’s so peaceful and beautiful! I really want to try Shabbat one day
That’s so lovely to hear, thank you 💕

I feel the exact same way.
What were you waiting for? Hope you got started.
I feel connected too and want to incorporate the old ways of Yahweh’s people in my daily life I already know how to write a few words in hebrew
I love Shabbat because it is a commandment. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. I am Christian and I partake and celebrate Shabbat. Thank you for this video. G_d bless you!

It's great to have traditions. We have adapted the blessing though as there is no Torah command to light the candles for Shabbat.
This was so great. You are the Rebbetzin of TH-cam! 😄

Love this video ❤️ I have two questions: 1- do you only eat challah on Shabbat?
2- are kiddush cups always metal?
I do! And no I've seen glass and crystal ones too!
I’m messianic jew can I still keep Shabbat?
YES! God commanded us to keep Shabbat!
I would like to introduce my grandchildren who are 8 and 5 to Shabbat. What activities would you recommend besides the prayers over challah, candles and wine?
Thank you for this series! What do you like to do on Saturdays?
You’re very welcome! We do not strictly observe Shabbat so sometimes we go to schul other times we dont. We like to go on walks or go for a hike. We try not to do errands or things like that but sometimes we still do.
@@MyJewishMommyLife thank you! It is so helpful to hear all parts of the spectrum of observance. I've really only heard the black or white of it- all the way or they don't observe at all.
Totally and it's hard to explain why we do things one way or another but it's just how I grew up really and what suits my life now!
Love your videos ❤
Great video! Todah
Awesome 👏🏼 thanks

Shabbat shalom!
I'm very excited about this series, thank you.
That’s so great to hear, thank you !
Love..thank you!
Such a lovely video! Thank you 💓
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful video! I know that your mother in law made that Challah cover for you and it is SO beautiful! I have been needing to get one for our family but now none are beautiful enough! lol Would your mother in law take orders?
Aww thank you so much! I'm sure she would but it's a long long labor of love I think it takes her more than a year or two as it's just a casual hobby for her. You can buy a needlepoint pattern like it if you want to make one of your own though or know someone who needlepoints!
@@MyJewishMommyLife Oh I LOVE to needlepoint and would LOVE to do this, but have not been able to find the pattern! Would you know where I can get it?
Feel free to share an affiliate link if you have one. I would love to support you if I can!
What about washing the utensils and plates after dinner?
Thank you x
Thank you for sharing

Please let me know where the verse to light the candles is. I can't find it and really do want to know🥺
It’s not just for Jews it’s for all
I always learn so much from your videos! 💗
Aww you're so sweet, thank you!
Hi I would like to know which candlestick holders are to be used for shabbat, pure silver or silver plated or brass etc ?
Honestly they could be made out of anything as long as it's not flammable.
Very good.
Amazing, thanks
Thank you again. I washed it with my husband on TV but he had trouble hearing you. We suggest that you use a mic and speak slower, as it was difficult to follow you. Todah
super instructive! Thank you for sharing! 🥐🍞
You're very welcome!
