- Hanukkah is over so it's time to put the Hanukkah away. But it was Rosh Chodesh this last Shabbat so that is fresh on my mind! In this video I spend some time chatting with you about what Rosh Chodesh is, how Rosh Chodesh came to be, why Rosh Chodesh is celebrated, and how Rosh Chodesh is observed. I am also taking you through a day in my life after we all sleep in, and clean up the house, make a picnic lunch, then head to the park to meet up with friends. We round it all out by coming home where I chat about our evening plans. Thank you so much fr being here for the DITL Day in my life video :) I love sharing my days with you!
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 this day in my life as I prepare for Hanukkah and Shabbat and go the the kosher grocery store!

So sorry that I am late posting this morning! I completely forgot🤦🏼♀️ I am totally ok, just was spending time with my kids this morning because my husband and oldest son got home last night so we had some catching up to do :)
No worries you’re a momma. Spending time with your husband and son.
@@nancyayala2217 thanks Nancy 💜
It's never too late! Always appreciate your posts 💖
I echo Nancy. First and foremost you are a wife and mother. Spending time with family is truly a blessing!
@@estim7641 thank you so much 💜
Has anybody ever told you that your eyes speak on your behalf? Your love for your husband and children is so clear. Your happiness is obvious.
Aw thank you so much Elizabeth 💜😊
I totally agree when you speak of your religion,your husband or your children your eyes just seem to open up with LOVE and Compassion. Anyone just popping in for the first time would know the LOVING ADMIRATION for them.
@@lisachatham8690 they are my life 💜
I find in general, you are very loving and heartful person, Chana!
Such an honour to have you"back", recently watched your conversion video.
My Mother A”H was part of a Rosh Chodesh club. They were probably the most diverse group of women and to the untrained eye would seem not to have anything in common, but, they bonded over their love for this day and tried to do something special each month. I hope you manage to get your group going again. Have a Beautiful Shabbos!
Love that!!!
Terrific video! Never worry about being late with posting. Mom-life and family-life always come first!
Thank you Larissa! 💜
I’m glad your husband and son are back home safely. Your youngest is precious. I loved seeing his little hand waving his kippah. Too cute!!! I also enjoyed learning about a new Jewish holiday I didn’t know about. A celebration of women, once a month. That’s great!!!
He wants to be in a video so bad lol in the bloopers he was showing off his birthday present to the camera 😂 Future vlogger that one
Oh I so miss when my kids were little. We did our little homeschooling things and had lots of good times together. I love how you cherish the moments with your children and husband. I have a video request. I’d love to see what you do with all of your craft supplies. You could teach us something or inspire us to try something new.
Thank you for your kind words and for the suggestion!
So in your faith, there is a monthly holiday celebrating women AND that they defied their men and honored God…That is amazing and I am sure I over simplified it but how fantastic to acknowledge the women every month. Thank you for sharing that with us. 💕
Oh I love the way you summed that up! Basically yes though you nailed it! 😂 Isn’t it great?
I love this. What a wonderful way for God to reminder all of us that women are important to Him.
@@sahawk0709 Women are highly valued and respected in Judaism which I’ve always loved :)
@@jaroffireflies Yessss!!!! There's such sad misunderstanding about this. I love it too
@@ImazABoss yes, totally agree
YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO FULL OF JOY💗
Thank you 😊
Everyone knows the best part of making bento boxes is nibbling on the little bits that are left behind, classic mom move!
Yes!!! I end up with a tasty salad lol
Always like all the special things you do for your kids.
Thank you Anne :)
I am not sure how I missed this video and the previous one when you originally uploaded them, but I am glad I have been able to watch them now. Thank you Chana. Bella is in full Protection mode!!!
Glad you like them! 💜 Thanks Lynne!
Oh my Gosh your little boy cracked me up when he started jumping up and down and waving his Kippah! Adorable 😄
He’s a hoot! Always wants to be in a video 😂
99% of the time when you get some sort of crab sushi, it's made with imitation crab. There are very specific reasons for this, and the main one is cost. Crab is expensive and a lot of people have allergies to shellfish as well, so imitation crab meat is used instead to be affordable and safe to eat as it is made from several kinds of white fish and it just sort of tastes and looks like crab meat.
Totally true. Always be extra vigilant to be sure it's gluten free though because imitation crab often includes wheat in the recipe... strange but true. My oldest daughter has celiac disease and I was shocked to learn this by reading ingredients when she was little.
I love when you educate us. Thank you so much. 😊
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for being here Kim!
P.S. The lunches for the kids look wonderful..so much TLC put into them! 🙂 Rosemarie 💖
Thanks so much! I’m loving the new creative outlet in something as mundane as lunches lol
I love the moon too! Sometimes I even wave to it. ;-)
So fun!
Hi, sweet Chana! A special blessing of thanks for you. Always positive and hard working, you are such a great example of a life with purpose! 🫂🫂🫂
Thank you so much Debra 💜
What a wonderful video Chana! I had never heard of Rosh Chodesh but I am fully embracing it now. I'm going to look up the dates, mark them on my calendar and observe them. I have already been observing the moon cycles and special meanings for a long time. This adds a whole additional level of spirituality for me.
Great! Enjoy!
My childhood Hanukkah gifts were seven nights of small things like chocolate gelt, a real dollar, etc. and one or two more substantial but not "big" gifts such as a book, or a small toy. One year my mom knitted a hat and a cardigan for my babydoll. It is the only H. gift I remember from so long ago. No gifts on other holidays. Also, I think it would be appropriate to wear a favorite piece of Jewelry on Rosh Chodesh...You know, to commemorate the wives keeping their gold.
Oh I love that about wearing gold on Tosh Chodesh! That’s an amazing idea! I think I might start doing that!
Great video Chana you bring’”sunshine to my heart every day” thank you.
😊😊😊 Thank you!
Another beautiful video, Chana!
Thank you 💜💜💜
I love that you chose your religion. I love that. You are an amazing lady that knows what she wants and does it. This way of life that you chose is so right for you. God was really guiding you to your heart. I love it. Have a great evening!
Thank you for your kind words Daphne 💜
Thank you for this!
You are so welcome Eulalia!

Another great video ! Enjoy your day
Thank you Noel 😂
Hello Chana! Thank you for the video - as always very informative and a pleasure to watch. I cannot wait for the bento box supplies! The lunch you prepared looked so yummy :)
Thank you! The bento supplies arrived the next day so bummer I could not include them in this video but they will turn up in a video soon!
Your little guy is so cute and funny! Thanks again for an informative video 💙
You’re so welcome :) Thanks for your kind words :)
Such beautiful kids you have 🥰
Thank you 😊
Thank you for explaining Rosh Chodesh
You’re so welcome!
Cute music in the background! Great video, have a chodesh tov!
Thank you! 💜
Love your videos and energy ! Mazal tov looks like ur little one got a hair cut nd has a yarlmulke he looks adorable
😊 thank you
I loved the saying or prayer about the moon. My dog looked up when your dog was being protective.
So glad you (and your dog!) enjoyed :)
Chana your kids are so adorable 😍 💕 💖
Thank you 💜
I look forward to seeing your videos. You totally fill my heart with joy. I love how you do all the special things with your family. With my son's grown, even though I know I did so much with them and for them, I sure do miss those times. God bless!🤩
Aw thank you so much for your kind words 😊💜
it's really interesting that the moon also has its importance in the jewish tradition. and i never thought about the moon being a symbol of hope. this is a very beautiful thought. i will integrate it into my notions from now on. i love how much i can learn from you and widen my perspective on things! :) cultural exchange is a beautiful thing.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment :) I am so glad that bit about the moon resonated with you!
@Bubbe Meiseh the Jewish calendar has 12 months just like the Gregorian calendar except years when we get Adar II and we have 13 months.
@Bubbe Meiseh Right? I didn't know about it until I became Orthodox and its such a cool holiday!
@@jaroffireflies And this year we get an extra Adar! :)
@@creativewriter3887 yayyyyy for extra Adar!
So interesting to hear! Love learning about your religion more and more! 🥰
Thanks Lindsay! I’m so glad you enjoyed!
Rosh Chodesh sounds like a wonderful opportunity to spend time with friends! I'm glad to see a Chana video today 🙌
Thank you Allison! So glad you enjoyed!
I love your channel .♥️
I have been missing it, as I have been sick - then I thought if my head will let me why not sit and watch you while I recover!
Much love to you all.
❤🌹❤
Wishing you a full and speedy recovery with no complications!
Chana! I know I say this every time but, THANK YOU! I absolutely love, love, love your videos!
You are so very welcome 🤗
In my girls high school, and many others in Israel, every rosh chodesh all the school davended together with lots of singing and then after the first class of the day would be full of music and dance. It made everyone happy some by enjoying the music and dancing and some by missing the first class of the day😉
That sounds so lovely!
Hello Chana, i had not heard about rosh chaddosh. It is always interresting to learn something new.keep on going. Greatings annie
So glad I could introduce you to something new!
Chana Really enjoyed your day. A wonderful day great ideas for bento boxes. My pup Jake started saying hello to Bella it was so funny. Jake even started looking for his new friend around the house. Have a great week.
Lol I’m sure Bella would say hello right back to Jake!
Thank you for sharing your religion and life with us.I am so stoked when you share new insights.God Bless you and your family 👪🙏😊❤
You’re so welcome! Thanks for being here Chloe!
This is such a relaxing and interesting channel. I love the idea of using cookie cutters for the veggies! And I love all the outside videos. Chodesh tov!
Thanks so much! 😊
Dogs! Lol! Always love your videos! I learn so much!
Thanks so much Betty!
@@jaroffireflies 💖
Big enough to light the park!
Glad to know everything is ok as I was waiting expectantly for the upload. I was concerned a little but happy dance now that the video is up. Thanks for sharing 😀
Thank you Crystal 💜 Sorry to worry you!
Aw thank you Sharm! 💜
Chodesh Tov, Chana! That was a lovely explanation of Rosh Chodesh. I remember when my girls were in school on Rosh Chodesh they had a special assembly, AND it was a no uniform day(s).
Your lunches looked yummy. And btw, your strawberries did look like hearts. ❤️❤️
Thank you for another great video!!
Oh that’s so fun about no uniforms! If I recall correctly our local school may do that also.
I am learning so much from your videos. Thank you! I literally lol when the dog was barking and each time you would try to talk the dog barked. I love your videos.
She cracks me up lol once she gets going she doesn’t want to stop lol
@@jaroffireflies It was great. I laughed out loud and was getting ready for work when i watched it. 🤣
I love Rosh Chodesh in Shul on Shabbat. The melodies are so lively and it just sweeps me away. I love the idea of a Rosh Chodesh get together.
Isn’t it so fun? I love it too :)
I loved your very informative video. I have a lot of Jewish friends so I'm very surprised that I've never heard of Rose Chodua (I hope I spelled that right). Your lunches looked fantastic!! I loved the cookie cutter with the fruit. You have such fun ideas!! I had to laugh, your Bella sounds like my Bella and Sadie. They bark like crazy and there is nobody anywhere. I think they like messing with my head 😂. So happy that your husband and son got home safely. Have a great weekend Chana and I'll see you next week
Hahah I’m pretty sure Bella was messing with me too 😂 I never could figure out what had her barking!
Lovely vlog again. I managed to find an animation, in You Tube, relating to your last vlog. Loving your content and I’m really feel that I’m being educated in a beautiful way. Thank you 🙏
Awesome! Thank you! And you are so welcome :)
Your babies are precious. Mine is now almost 20 and gosh I miss him being 2yrs old and stuck on my hip. Now, he can't be bothered (unless he wants something of coz)
Thank you 😊
Chana, I have been spending a lot of time in Georgia, helping with my mom so just now catching up on your vlogs. Sounds as if you had a bit of a break with the travelers out of town. I had three that were four years apart and if any one of them was out of the house, it was amazing how the dynamic changed.:)
Right?! It’s so interesting how something so small changes so much. Enjoy Georgia!
Another interesting video! Never heard of Rosh Hodesh. Whenever you reference bible verses, I want to get my bible and read them. Glad your husband and son made it home safely. I love how Bella was barking in the bloopers! I guess she wanted to be in the video also. Thank you for sharing and no worries about posting late! Enjoy the rest of your week and Shabbat Shalom!
Thanks so much Debbie! I’m so happy I could share something new with you!
Bella barking - that was hilarious. What a great video today. I love the idea of Rosh Chodesh, I have just realised I have one every few days (lol), since I live alone. The bento boxes are a great idea, I must try that sometime. I hope you are all keeping safe and well. Good Shabbos tonight.
Thank you Karen! Enjoy your weekend!
I love the symbolization of the moon bringing hope. I always look for the moon and it's appearance is always a comfort to me. What a wonderful holiday Rosh Chodesh is! A celebration of women! Your precious little man waving his kippah melted my heart, so adorable. As always, a pleasure to watch and learn.....thank you.
So glad you enjoyed this Janith! 💜
Thought I had got my days mixed when you were late posting. I am happy that you're husband and son are home safe. Iam sure it was an exciting time for your son. I thought the lunch boxes were great. Looking forward to to seeing you again. Love from Ireland.
I was bound to forget to post eventually :)
I loveeee your videos! I went back to the beginning. It’s cool to see someone who lives a different lifestyle and I appreciate all the knowledge I’m gaining from your religion!
Also lol when you said “I see nothing…a van.” I laughed so hard because you were really looking for something so Bella’s barking could make sense!
Hello Erin! Thank you so much for watching my videos! I’m so glad you’re here!!!!
Ya lol k really was trying to figure out what it was 😂 Sometimes I swear she sees ghosts 😂
Your babies are growing up so fast. The bento boxes looked so yummy. I love that your daughter made a friend at the park. My grandson makes new friends every time we go. It always amazes me that people think because our children are homeschool that they aren’t social/know how to make friends. Have a great rest of the week. Blessings, Shawn
Right?!? My kids make friends at the park so much faster than our away to school friends!
Thank you again for another great video. It was very interesting to hear about Rosh Chodesh. A lot of Jewish festivals, I've heard about but I've never heard of that one before. I also loved the dog and the toy at the end! They made me laugh!😂
Rosh Chodesh one is one that I never heard of until I became Orthodox. But I love it! It’s so fun! And I love that I can really make it my own you know what I mean?
@@jaroffireflies Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean. I'm going to be suggesting that the Catholic Church adopt it as a festival as well!😂
Such cute little lunch boxes, brings back happy memories of make lunches for my daughter. I used to put little notes in hers until she got a little older and said I should stop😢. Glad you’re enjoying more time with your cute little ones.😘
Thanks Tia 💜 Luckily my kids still tolerate me and my silly things like star shaped carrots 😂
The kids' Bento Boxes look so fun for the children!! Love it!
Thank you!
@@jaroffireflies It just occured to me that they don't get to take lunch to school. So this is extra sweet that you take the time to give them a mom love lunch. Kudos mommy.
@@lisalowery4849 We do love a good picnic lunch though!
i think bento boxes are the cutest things ever with great appeal to children and adults alike. i did what i could with a fussy eater when mine was young. all kids seem to like cheese so i made heart shaped grilled cheese sandwiches for her. i'm glad that's behind us and now she's practically a gourmet and married lady. i kept thinking about you mentioning that your son with the food issues (i had one, too) was out of town with his dad you all went to the store and stocked up with gluten goodies. when the cat is away...cheers, chana and fam!
Oh yes the mice okayed 😂😂😂 We had one last frozen pizza meal last night while they were mid flight 😂
Another wonderful video! Loved seeing the creative way you made the kids lunches and intend to try that for my grandkids. Do you do creative things with the little ones? My 5 and 6 year old like to do artsy projects and hope you have some ideas.
So glad you enjoyed! My littles love to make collages or paint with watercolors or color. Those are our main art projects. I’m not really one for setting up Pinterest type crafts :)
As you put away your Chanukiah, I wondered if you or your audience had some good tips for cleaning silver without harsh silver cleaners. As much as I try I always feel my silver looks dull. Love your bloopers btw. I look forward to seeing your videos very much. Have a wonderful Shabbos!!
Hi Phyllis! Hopefully someone else can chime in. I don’t have real silver so I’m quite inexperienced there
❤️
I love to see all the ways you go all out for your kids!!! Thx for the bible lesson, too!
Btw, lol, my friend and I both have black labs and we were discussing, just yesterday, that sometimes we have no idea what they are barking at! Lol
Haha glad it’s not just my pup!
Hello there ! Shalom. hugs from UK : )
Shalom! 💜
Love my silicone muffin cups. I’m going to order the smaller size. I also use them for freezing extra lemon juice I squeeze.
Great idea!
Such a fun vlog 💛 I have a question for your next q & a... what's the difference between Temple and Synagogue ❓ Your little guy is so funny 😃👍
So glad you enjoyed! There’s no difference:) Just the word choice of different denominations of Judaism :)
Thank you ❣️. So totally looking for Rosh chodesh ideas at home,by self,and with fam. Usually pull up Rosh chodesh videos on TH-cam,but would love to see your recipes/cleaning recipes/thoughts on women's cycles (back then,now).
Do you also have vids on minor/ fast days?
So glad you got some ideas! I don’t think I have any videos on minor fast days, but you can check out my holiday playlist for holiday content
I appreciate you saying the Numbers from the Bible.
I think this is amazing to read along with you and know that our Bible says the same 🤗🤗🤗
I’m so glad! Happy reading!
Love the mini cookie 🍪 cutters. 'Gonna look for the gluten free oreoes.
We find them at all the regular grocery stores!
I have a friend who lets her kids eat sugary cereal as a treat on rosh chodesh 😊
Oh that’s so fun!
That's a fun Shabbat option too!
@@ImazABoss we get special cereal just for Shabbat 😊
Good morning Chana I thought I missed you!
Definitely didn’t miss! Thanks for being here!
I couldn't sleep (rather I woke up, rearranged my bedding) and was frustrated and I knew what would calm me down (listening to bible verses - sleep with rain on TH-cam). That didn't work so much and I put your video on and lucky for me I got a new one, although I am still watching the old ones. Your voice is so soothing that it puts me to sleep. I love your channel stuff and especially today's topic.
I love the old calendar and met some other people over the years that use this calendar and it makes much more sense to me. I love the moon also and stare at it every night when I am walking my dog and I love how it reflects light from the sun but the HOPE with the light was truly insightful.
I looked up all the verses because I was like NOOOOO WAY did they make the guys take the earrings and sure enough...they did. I found all that so intriguing that I looked up all the verses and am going to celebrate this new holiday as well. I also do not celebrate holidays that are not in the biblical days and people just think I am weird but I don't like the commercial aspects of social acceptance that we must buy things.
It makes zero sense, so I don't do it. Thank you for making this video. The scriptures I read today were really refreshing and should help me sleep.
I’m so glad you enjoyed and that this really resonated with you! Hope you sleep better tonight 😊
❤🙏
I am definitely going to start celebrating a special day just for women. I think it is a wonderful way to sneak in a little me time! Love the idea that it follows the moon cycle, very spiritual. I also appreciated your explanation of how you felt about the waxing and waning moon. Super sweet! Love Bella and all her specialness. I know you are happy to have your family back together again. I don't sleep well when my husband is away. Take care and have a good rest of your week. 😊💜
I’m so excited to hear you’ll start celebrating Rosh Chodesh! That’s really wonderful!
We have women little Christmas here in Ireland on January 6th ,the men and boys do everything for the day,and cook another Christmas dinner ,Mother and girls chill for the day,it is wonderful and a very old costume.Christmas tree and decorations come down on January 7 th ,they go up December 8th.
P.S. I will be alone for the third year ,as my daughter lives in the U.K. and she can not come here because of Covid,we will FaceTime and will dress up to the nine’s,husband and son will cook etc.,
@@itaobyrneokeeffe7908 How fun to have the day off!
Hello Chana. Thank you for the explanations about Jewish days of remembrances (hope I’m saying that correctly). I’m in a Bible study group and it lasts for nine months of the year. It’s a deep dive but fascinating. Last year we studied Exodus through Deuteronomy. So much rich history and great stories. I loved it. You taking the time to make the Bento boxes extra cute and fun was so sweet. 🥰
Can’t wait for the next video. 🙂
Thank you so much! So fun that y’all have studied those books in depth!
Considering how much your children love the outdoors, maybe later in their lives would you suggest cross country or long distance running for them? no biggie, but just a thought!
PS: LOVE the Bento boxes, brilliant!
Loved your explanation of Rosh Chodesh! Much better than I could have done.
One of the shuls that I go to has a Rosh Chodesh gathering every month from after Simchas Torah until May or June. I think I might start trying to go next year. I might talk to the Rebbetzin about having the gathering available on ZOOM again like they did last year during covid.
Those bento boxes are a really cute idea for to-go lunches. I think my younger granddaughter and I would enjoy that if we go out to a park. It's an easy enough idea to bring lunch for me since I won't eat the hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken they usually grill.
Chodesh tov Kislev!
See you on Thursday!
Chodesh tov! You should totally go to the Rosh Chodesh get together! That’s so fun that they do that!
@@jaroffireflies The real reason I've not gone is because it's in a different house each month. I'd need to find out if their house is wheelchair friendly. I'm waiting until next year because of covid. I am getting out again but so far only medical. I'm not comfortable with indoor gatherings yet. I'm even missing out on the New Torah celebration in a couple of weeks 😥. I just see too many people not taking precautions anymore (some never did). With G-d's help, it'll be better next year.
@@chayastaub-krell6601 I totally understand that! Hang in there!
I lost the ability to sleep longer then 4 to 6 hrs so watch UTube every morning, do laundry, dishes, cook then take a sauna before my husband wakes up. I used to be a night owl……go figure 😊
What a productive morning!
Hi Chana: Sorry, I meant to reference the Moroccan fish your hubby makes when I mentioned tilapia and salmon. It ALL looks scrumptious! Rosemarie 💖
All good!
One thing I would love if you did is each video is if you could teach us a Hebrew word or letter. I like how you make your channel more than just another mom on TH-cam I like how you incorporate your faith and I’d like to see as much of that as possible so I can learn as much as well.
You’re so kind :) Thank you for the suggestion!
Love the lunch boxes. Where did you buy them. Loved the lunch you packed too.
Thanks Barb! I bought these at The Container Store about 5 years ago, but they don’t carry them anymore. You can get them on Amazon now though and they have a website. It’s called Eco Lunch Box
@@jaroffireflies thank you so much.
@@barbseverino1278 you’re so welcome!
Pls make a video about jewish morning prayer, we don't know how you are praying
I have a video on that topic here: th-cam.com/video/iOeUnm-KkFs/w-d-xo.html enjoy!
Seems silly, but I love the clear plates. My dad loved imitation 🦀. I like the idea 💡 of one 🎁. No matter what you celebrate, I think kiddos get over stimulated. I like to cycle toys, 🎁 or put them away so that it can be "new" again.
Exactly! That was my problem with 8 days of gifts no matter how small. It became all about the gifts!
Thanks, Chana, for another interesting and informative video!
I really enjoy learning about all of the Jewish holidays, so thanks for taking the time to teach us!
What movie did you watch with your kids? Family movie nights are so fun!
I love Bella’s feature in the outtakes! 🤣 Did you find out what she was barking at?
Have a great day!
Lesley
Thanks Lesley! We watched the Paw Patrol movie, my youngest is a huge fan :) I never did figure out what Bella was barking at but I bet a dog must have walked by
@@jaroffireflies Oh a fun movie!!
It’s great Bella is so alert to let you know what’s going on in your neighbourhood! 🤣
@@lesleywhite6285 right? No mailman will go unnoticed 😂
@@jaroffireflies haha yes!! I bet she was so excited, though, when your son and husband came home after being out of town?!
@@lesleywhite6285 oh yes she was thrilled!
