I remember one night at our synagogue, a honeless man came in and asked for food. Our rabbi gave him a plate with food and invited him to join us for our big sukkot dinner. He was so happy and he even came back the next week for friday night aervices to show his appreciation! I hope he is doing well wherever he is!
Praying for safety and peace for Israel. Many hearts around the world join yours in grieving. Rest in hashem and take comfort that we are lifting you up in our prayers.
I came here for your peaceful voice after hearing the news today of Israel. 10/07/2023 I ask God for protection over your family, everyone in Israel, and for peace. My heart is broken for you all.
I love happiness I am alone my children love me but they are both married. I’m lucky that they both married delightful spouses whose presence enriches our family life but I am otherwise alone my late father was Jewish my mother not so my brother and I are not. I love learning what I can about our family.
@@catherinenewman6516hallo catherine. Ich denke es ist nicht richtig, wenn man sagt, daß nur nach der Mutter die Kinder jüdisch sind. Josefs Söhne, Efraim und Menasche, rechnet man zu den Treiben Israels, obwohl ihre Mutter Ägypterin war. Ruth war Moabiterin und ihr Sohn Obed gehört auch in die wichtige Linie der Vorfahren Königs David...
Shavua Tov Sarah , what I learnt that gave me so much courage was that one can build a succah by themselves. Immediately after watching this and some other tips online, I called a carpenter and built my succah. Thank G-d. I’m so happy.
So I wanted to say a big thank you to you Sarah for your lovely videos. I have recreated a few of your recipes through your meal preps, thank you. Chag Sameach 🎉
I miss the Sukkot “houses” back home in Chicago. I still remember one that looked like a pergola with pine branches, and Italian lights. I loved my old neighborhood. It was Hasidic and I felt at home. How funny to find out that in my mid 30’s I actually WAS Jewish! I was so happy because now I knew why I felt at home. My grandpa, who was a sergeant in the German army, was able to get my grandma, my aunts, and uncles off of the cattle cars by bribing an officer to look the other way. He told them to run until they got to my great grandmas house. Luckily there were nice German families who hid them and fed them. Without him, my mom (and of course I) would not be here. Unfortunately my other ancestors were killed at Dachau. I love this video and you have a new sub! I’m Ashkenazi so I find it interesting how the Sephardic Jews celebrate. ❤
Thank you so so much for every video you make. My family is Jewish but we haven’t practiced in generations and because of you I want to start. Thank you for explaining things and being such a wonderful source of information. Blessings to you and all of your family!
I love happiness! Lovely video, thank you for taking the time out your busy schedule to make these videos to educate and encourage even non-Jewish people such as myself!
I love happiness. I think one thing that surprised me the most is the way you dress and the different types of foods. I am a Christian and I find it fascinating the different types of foods associated with certain holidays. 😊
Il ne me semble pas que vous soyez en Israel actuellement, mais je ne sais pas pourquoi j’ai pensé à vous et vos proches et j’espère du fond du cœur que vous vous portez bien. On ne se connaît pas alors c’est peut-être étrange, mais j’adore regarder vos vidéos qui m’apaisent. 🕊️ 🇮🇱 🇫🇷
Hope you and your family are safe and well. Here in Ukraine we are praying for Israel. Your channel introduced me to alot of things I did not know about Jewish culture.
Tu n'es jamais seule, ma grande. On est tous et toutes là à admirer tes vidéos, à partager avec toi et à célébrer les petites et grandes occasions de la vie. Merci pour tout.
I really like your sweet voice! Thank you for sharing! I am not a native Jew, but Your GOD is my GOD, and His Torah is hidden in my heart as I live out His commands. ADONAI bless you and your family! Praying for the peace of Jerusalem and the safety of His people always. In that day, the nations will come up to Jerusalem to celebrate Sukkot together and worship the LORD of Hosts!
Your video, explaining Sukkot , was so beautiful ! I am a Catholic Christian and wish we would celebrate your special days ,also ! :) Since watching your video on how you start your day , I have been singing Morning and Evening prayers along with a young man who has a You Tube channel " SING THE HOURS " ! It is such a beautiful way to start the day , lifting our heart , mind and voice to our God ! You inspired me and I thank you so much ! You are so beautiful , inside and out ! Your voice and your videos are so soothing . God bless you ! I bet you make Him smile !
Check your DNA. OLIVERI has Jewish ancestry. Were your ancestors from Spain or Portuguese? Also... look for a birth mark on your body. Levites have wither reddish marks behind the head, inside hairline OR a brownish birthmark that sometimes looks like a coffee-stain.
I love happiness! I looked at the prices for the etrog (citrus). 80$! 100$! Oh MY that's expensive! I am amazed! I am glad you have explained Sukkoth to us. I had heard of it, but knew very few details. Thank you for sharing this holiday with us.
I’m so sorry about the recent loss of life in Israel. May you and your family and friends remain safe always. We pray for you as we and you and yours grieve. G-d bless and grant you comfort.💖
Sara, you are a treasure! Thankyou for bringing us into your life, and assuring those of us that are alone and sometimes unloved, that we are not. Much love ❤
I love happiness as well. Thank you for a detailed and wonderful teaching. Many blessings from an African-American Christian family in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Thinking about you, your family, and community during wartime for Israel. I'm so sorry. I love your gentle, informative channel. I grieve and pray with you and your community.
Very interesting! I think this is what my bible calls the feast of arbours, when they found a commandment "You shall make arbours for yourselves and live in them".
I love happiness. Thank you so much for your posts I love them and they make me feel closer to God. I love that the Jewish holidays always include the children. My husband and I think that it’s very important to include the children at a young age . If you wait till their older you’ve missed the chance to teach and train them.
I have loved your videos. I am not Jewish. Sarah, I just want to say how grieved we are about what happened in Israel. I know this video was prepared for a joyous time. No one could have known this year would be very different.
Great video, great information, excellent presentation. I, as a lay Christian, has learned a lot about Sukkot and Sukkah. May God richly bless you. May God richly bless all Israelites and the whole land of Israel. Hallelujah Amen.
I love happiness! Every year at my college, the Texas Hillel (Jewish students association) would build a palm leaf covered hut on campus around this time. I always thought it had something to do with Halloween. Now I know why they did that!
You are so sweet Thank you for your kind words and I’m happy to know some universities have Hillel houses to cater to their Jewish students : so lovely 🥰
I really enjoyed your content about Sukkot! I am not Jewish but I strongly considering Orthodox Judaism and I want to say thank HaShem for your content, channel and close nit family. Learning about Sukkot has been a blessing to me, and my life is changed. I love the elements of Sukkot which strength our dependance on HaShem, breathes life and love in family relationships, brings out the beauty and joy of our religious beliefs, and unifies the different communities around us. May HaShem bless you and your family with strength to elevate His name and the knowledge of Him in the Tanakh to the nations around the world.
I love happiness! Sara, the part of the blessing at the Wailing Wall gave me goosebumps! How incredible! Sukkot is a holiday I had heard of but knew nothing about. Thank you for sharing these wonderful things. ❤
Praying for you all’s family and friends!! This is horrible!!! Words can’t express my sorrow for the Jewish people!!!! I’m a Noahide but my heart cares deeply for the Jewish people. Again praying safety for you alls family and friends. 💕💕
I'm Reform, but I got to help my synagogue make our sukkah for the toddler sukkot celebration. It's so cool to see how more religious sects do this! Love your videos!
I love happiness thanks for the video about this wonderful holiday Sara Malka. I don’t have a sukkah however I visit a community sukkah here in Philadelphia
I absolutely love your new outfits for Sukkot! 😍😍😍 Also your Jewish men wear the same kind of hat as our Amish and conservative Mennonite men wear for church. 🥰
I think that the most I apreciate of your videos is to learn about other faiths and their details and meanings regarding their festivities during the year. Also learning that here in the south of the world it most be really hard because its super cold during this time of the year 😅 As always love your videos! And "I love happiness" 🥰
Shana tovah and yom tov to you! I live in a neighborhood with a lot of Orthodox Jewish people and it's fun to see the booths pop up in the neighborhood.
I love happiness! Thank you so much for this video. While I knew about the sukkah, I knew little else. I was fascinated by the etrog. Also care taken in selecting each item required. Most of all, thank you for reminding me that I am enough…because you are the only person to ever tell me that, thank you!
You do such a kiddish Hashem. Sometimes i am just not motivated to prepare for shabbat or chag. I know your videos give me the motivation to get excited. May Hashem bless your family in this new year with revealed brachot. My your wants and needs coincide with Hashem's. L'shana tova
Thank you! I love seeing the different aspects of the holidays. Sukkot has always peaked my interest as a non Jew. Since the Torah instructs certain times of the year to G_d feasts of rememberence. Sukkot has to be my favorite! Thanks again for sharing.
Judaism does not follow the old testament which has been blatantly corrupted by the church, in fact that term is offensive to Jews.The Tanach is the Jewish Bible.
Thank you, as always, Sara! I, too, love happiness!!! I started college again today, and I’m hoping to sneak in some classes on Judaism while I’m here!! Love from the US
I love HAPPINESS and I LOVE YOU, Sara Malka! The moments shared with you are always sooo pure, sooo special and sooo precious! Praying for all of Israel and loving her and all of her people, with all of my heart! Baruch Ha'shem! ❤
I use to live in Mtl-Outremont and always wondered what was the meaning behind the booths. Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I bet the kids love it! Hopefully, no snow during this time for your family and community! 🙏💚
I am still living in that area as I have been all my life. It is a wonderful glimpse into a faith that is so unique in and of itself. How long did you live here?
@@marykoufalis7666 Indeed! Lived in Mtl for 35 years. I have always been fascinated with different cultures. Mtl is a great city to experience diversity! 😉
I love happiness! Our route to the grocery store takes us through one of our city's main Jewish neighborhoods, and this morning when we were driving over there, we saw some men starting to put up what looked like a Sukkah outside one of the synagogues along the way. Thanks for sharing more of your traditions--I learn something new from your episodes every week!
I love happiness. Thanks for the knowledge. It makes me grateful to know the lengths you go for all of us in the world to share so much. Peace and return of our American and Israeli people back home.
Love these videos but as a non-Jewish person I have a couple of questions. 1) You said you live in the booth. Do you sleep in the Sukkah? Sleeping bags? 2) When you invite guest do you have to do the separation of men and women with the divider? 3) What about cell phones?
Hi! Good questions 1- in countries like israel : they sleep in the sukkah In Canada it’s too cold! But in days we can yes too 2 - guests : they are separated each side of the table men on one side women on the other 3- no cell I hope it helps!
I love happiness ❤! I’m a 5th grade teacher and we read a passage last year on Sukkot. I am happy to learn more about the holiday and it’s traditions. I know it is Yom Kippur now. I pray for love and blessings for your family. This Christian loves your channel and learning about theJewish culture.
i love happiness :) this is a holiday i'd not heard of before, so all of it was surprising to me! also have never heard of an etrog before. thank you for sharing!
Hi Nora, here is Sara's video on Yom Kippur.💗INSIDE Yom Kippur: 5 Things You Will Only See in our Orthodox Jewish Home Before and on Yom Kippur. ua-cam.com/video/K-iQ7a6gyQk/v-deo.html
Dearest sister. As I reread my comment I feel I need to apologize. I came across as one complaining or critical. That was NOT my intention, but in fact how I came across. I apologize. You are one of my inspirations and most certainly a blessing to me and many others! I should never comment in a rush. Living and learning. I love and look forward to all of your videos! May HaShem grant you the merit of our beautifying the commandments bc of your inspiration!
@@noraellen4623 Dear Nora, as Sara's moderator, please know that as for me, your comment was nothing of the sort. Your comment was not critical nor was it a complaint at all. Often times our subscribers are not aware of the many videos that Sara has published over the last 3 years and so that's why I wanted to save you the trouble of trying to find the video on Yom Kippur and just posted the link to help you out amidst the many videos posted on her home page. I know Sara would look at it this way too. We're so glad that you are here with us and may H'Shem grant you a blessed and prosperous new year! Blessings! 💖
I love happiness. I wish I watched this earlier as the first day of Sukkot is tomorrow morning and I'm completely unfamiliar with this holiday outside of the basics. This will be my first time going to Shul for Sukkot. I goto an old Shul built in 1913 in Manhattan and we are Ashkenazi and use Sefard Siddur. I'm excited to go as I've been a member of this Shul for over two years. I do not have the four species though I I was reading some excerpts in the Talmud or somewhere and I'm unsure about some things, but I guess I'll have to play it by ear and learn. Thank you as you videos were always helpful to me in my earliest days of becoming observant and I go to an Orthodox Shul. Chag Sukkot Sameach
I love happiness! Thank you for sharing these holidays with us. I am always impressed with the traditions you instill in your family and the love that you have for them. I wish more my family had more traditions even though they wouldn't be steeped in such a faith as yours.
I love ALL your vds. Bringing Light & Love. Brings me tons of admiration for Jews around the world they really can shine their light and love for the Creator. May the Lord keeps blessing you and your precious family.
So glad I found your channel. I’m not Jewish but I have friends who are and I love learning about their way of life. You’re an inspiration and your happiness is contagious! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
I love happiness! I read a book series when I was a child called "All of a Kind Family " that described the life of a Jewish family in New York in the early 1900s. I LOVED those books! They described all of the holidays, including Succoth. The holiday sounds so fun. I was surprised that the prophets come to visit! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.
I love happiness, Sara!!! Beautiful celebration of sukkhot, eating and living outside in the best part of the year!!! May you and your family be blessed with love and joy in the new year! ❤
I love happiness! I am an older Christian woman and feeling led to learn about the Feasts and most importantly what is done and why. I'm finding a need to simplify my life with more meaningful, intentional things and to put my contentment, trust and hope in God, not man-made, fleeting happiness. Thank you for sharing as I'm always slow to ask questions which may be offensive, but desire to learn.
I love happiness! Thank you Dr Malka for sharing your wisdom and beautiful holiday. I’m a Christian woman and absolutely love learning about Jewish customs and mitzvahs. I sometimes teach children’s church and wanted to teach the kiddos about Sukkot and had them all sit in little tents while we did our lesson. They had so much fun! I do wish I had seen this video beforehand though lol. I didn’t know about the rods of different leaves! I think that is so fascinating and love the emphasis on unity despite differences. Thank you again! I pray you have a fantastic week!
I love happiness ❤, thank you for continuing to teach us your beautiful ways of celebrating the Jewish holidays. Sending so much love and happiness from the uk 🇬🇧❤ xxx
I love happiness. I am Christian, and the blessing at the wailing wall made me think how electricafying it must be to receive the blessing in person. Thank you for sharing your family's traditions.
I love happiness ❤️ Thank you for sharing, I had not heard of this holiday before and found your video really interesting. Connecting to nature and how our ancestors experienced life appeals very much to me as a way to step out of the busyness and commercialisation of today and bring us back to the joy of spirituality and being with loved ones. I appreciate your content and always feel a sense of love emanating from your content. Thank you x
I love happiness! Thank you for this special video - I feel as though I have been allowed to participate in this joyful time with your family. I especially enjoyed seeing the decorations in your Sukkah - I see the evidence of your daughters helping with this special project; how lovely.
I love happiness! Stay safe and blessed! I love learning about your culture, and all cultures. Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.♥️🙏🇺🇲
I love happiness! You, my dear are a blessing. Your videos are so tastefully informative, so calming, and so loving (I really needed a loving message today.). Thank you for sharing your life and traditions with us. Peace be with you and your family. 💚
Thank you Sara for explaining 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I love Israël ; I pray for the Shalom of Jerusalem 🕎🔯🇮🇱 May G'd Bless you and your family! I love happiness ❤ Sending my love, shalom shalom from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I love happiness! Thank you for sharing this beautiful custom with us. One of the Jewish children's books I bought for my classroom (the same one in which I was reading about the blowing of the shofar for Rosh Hashanah) also includes instructions for assembling a sukkah (it's much more simple than the nice one your family has constructed, but it meets the basic requirements) in the Sukkot chapter. I had not been previously aware of this holiday, or the customs associated with it, until I got that book.
I find it very sweet that you do fun things to make sure that kids associate joy with the holidays. I think that’s such a huge part of our lives. A lot of my good memories are simply religious celebrations even though i personally am an atheist now.
Hi Dr. Sara!! GREAT VIDEO!! ❤️. Very informative! It looks like a magical time for you and your family! I absolutely LOVE and RESPECT the devotion you hold for you religion, lifestyle and how you teach your children the values of your life! SO VERY SPECIAL! ❤️👍🌹
I love happiness….thank you for sharing your customs. Your voice is so peaceful and full of love. Everyone’s traditions can be traced to Jewish customs….of course they have been interpreted differently by each nationality but in the end we are all God’s children.
I love happiness... I was surprised at your outing for the children... picking apples, petting zoo and the fair... it seems a little bit like our fall celebration from when I was a child... ❤
I love happiness! Thank you again Sara for sharing! I had no idea! Are the kids out of school for this week? Having them go to a Jewish school has to help there. I love learning about your faith and traditions. Much love and happiness to you and yours!
I love happiness! Thank you Sara for a wonderful video teaching us about Sukkot. I have heard about this holiday and knew booths were involved but nothing else. I think it is important to learn about other cultures and religions so we can understand each other more and realise we are more alike than we think. Thank you and God's blessings to you and your family!
I love happiness! Thank you for another lovely video. I find them very meaningful and your warmth and kindness give me strength and hope. Love and best wishes to you and your family. 😊
I love happiness ❤ thank you for spreading warmth and kindness. I found your Chanel while laying i a hospital room. This (and i am not jewish) gave me feeling of belonging and homeness. Thank you again ❤
@@frumitup I have always seemed out people with the same spirit as myself. Race or religion is not the variables, it is the love and devotion to God. I know the struggles to have family and working in the medical field. It is impossible unless our mighty God is #1 in our lives. Shalom...Nancy
I love happiness! Et tes vidéos me rendent heureuse. Ce qui m'a surprise? La disponibilité des produits (cédrat etc) ici aussi. Je vais essayer d'aller voir des sukkot près d'ici. Merci. ❤
I appreciate how you manage to show everything in such detail, but also maintain the privacy of your family and those around you. It shows your respect and integrity. I’m sending much love to you and your family on this special occasion!

Awwwwwww thank you Dorothy: you are oh so sweet

I absolutely love your new outfits for Sukkot! 😍😍😍 Also your Jewish men wear the same kind of hat as our Amish and conservative Mennonite men wear for church. 🥰
I think that the most I apreciate of your videos is to learn about other faiths and their details and meanings regarding their festivities during the year. Also learning that here in the south of the world it most be really hard because its super cold during this time of the year 😅 As always love your videos! And "I love happiness" 🥰
Shana tovah and yom tov to you!
I live in a neighborhood with a lot of Orthodox Jewish people and it's fun to see the booths pop up in the neighborhood.
I love happiness! Thank you so much for this video. While I knew about the sukkah, I knew little else. I was fascinated by the etrog. Also care taken in selecting each item required. Most of all, thank you for reminding me that I am enough…because you are the only person to ever tell me that, thank you!
You have such a calming voice. My distant relatives were Jewish and I’ve learned so much by listening to you explanations of each important holiday.
I love happiness. ...and your videos bring me so much happiness.
Awww thank you Tammi ❤️❤️❤️
You do such a kiddish Hashem. Sometimes i am just not motivated to prepare for shabbat or chag. I know your videos give me the motivation to get excited. May Hashem bless your family in this new year with revealed brachot. My your wants and needs coincide with Hashem's. L'shana tova
Thank you! I love seeing the different aspects of the holidays. Sukkot has always peaked my interest as a non Jew. Since the Torah instructs certain times of the year to G_d feasts of rememberence. Sukkot has to be my favorite! Thanks again for sharing.
Judaism does not follow the old testament which has been blatantly corrupted by the church, in fact that term is offensive to Jews.The Tanach is the Jewish Bible.
Thank you, as always, Sara! I, too, love happiness!!! I started college again today, and I’m hoping to sneak in some classes on Judaism while I’m here!! Love from the US
I love happiness
I feel the same way! I love happiness 🌈
I love HAPPINESS and I LOVE YOU, Sara Malka! The moments shared with you are always sooo pure, sooo special and sooo precious! Praying for all of Israel and loving her and all of her people, with all of my heart!
Baruch Ha'shem! ❤
I use to live in Mtl-Outremont and always wondered what was the meaning behind the booths. Very interesting, thanks for sharing! I bet the kids love it! Hopefully, no snow during this time for your family and community! 🙏💚
I am still living in that area as I have been all my life. It is a wonderful glimpse into a faith that is so unique in and of itself. How long did you live here?
@@marykoufalis7666 Indeed! Lived in Mtl for 35 years. I have always been fascinated with different cultures. Mtl is a great city to experience diversity! 😉
I love happiness. I was surprised to learn you continue the round challah. I thought it was only for Rosh Hashanah. Have a most blessed Sukkot! 🙌
I love happiness! Our route to the grocery store takes us through one of our city's main Jewish neighborhoods, and this morning when we were driving over there, we saw some men starting to put up what looked like a Sukkah outside one of the synagogues along the way. Thanks for sharing more of your traditions--I learn something new from your episodes every week!
I love happiness. Thanks for the knowledge. It makes me grateful to know the lengths you go for all of us in the world to share so much. Peace and return of our American and Israeli people back home.
Love these videos but as a non-Jewish person I have a couple of questions. 1) You said you live in the booth. Do you sleep in the Sukkah? Sleeping bags? 2) When you invite guest do you have to do the separation of men and women with the divider? 3) What about cell phones?
Hi!
Good questions
1- in countries like israel : they sleep in the sukkah
In Canada it’s too cold! But in days we can yes too
2 - guests : they are separated each side of the table men on one side women on the other
3- no cell
I hope it helps!
I love happiness. I was surprised that you built a shelter to sleep in for 8 days. 😊
I love happiness ❤! I’m a 5th grade teacher and we read a passage last year on Sukkot. I am happy to learn more about the holiday and it’s traditions. I know it is Yom Kippur now. I pray for love and blessings for your family. This Christian loves your channel and learning about theJewish culture.
i love happiness :) this is a holiday i'd not heard of before, so all of it was surprising to me! also have never heard of an etrog before. thank you for sharing!
I was looking forward to a Yom Kippur video this week, but look forward to Sukkot too. Quite a busy celebratory season!
Sorry Nora 🥺 I did Yom Kippur last year so I wanted to do SUKKOT ❤️
Hi Nora, here is Sara's video on Yom Kippur.💗INSIDE Yom Kippur: 5 Things You Will Only See in our Orthodox Jewish Home Before and on Yom Kippur. ua-cam.com/video/K-iQ7a6gyQk/v-deo.html
Dearest sister. As I reread my comment I feel I need to apologize. I came across as one complaining or critical. That was NOT my intention, but in fact how I came across. I apologize. You are one of my inspirations and most certainly a blessing to me and many others! I should never comment in a rush. Living and learning. I love and look forward to all of your videos! May HaShem grant you the merit of our beautifying the commandments bc of your inspiration!
@@noraellen4623 Dear Nora, as Sara's moderator, please know that as for me, your comment was nothing of the sort. Your comment was not critical nor was it a complaint at all. Often times our subscribers are not aware of the many videos that Sara has published over the last 3 years and so that's why I wanted to save you the trouble of trying to find the video on Yom Kippur and just posted the link to help you out amidst the many videos posted on her home page.
I know Sara would look at it this way too. We're so glad that you are here with us and may H'Shem grant you a blessed and prosperous new year! Blessings! 💖
Sweetie, no need to apologize! I just wanted to let you know why I did not publish a Yom Kippur video this week
I love happiness. I wish I watched this earlier as the first day of Sukkot is tomorrow morning and I'm completely unfamiliar with this holiday outside of the basics. This will be my first time going to Shul for Sukkot. I goto an old Shul built in 1913 in Manhattan and we are Ashkenazi and use Sefard Siddur. I'm excited to go as I've been a member of this Shul for over two years. I do not have the four species though I I was reading some excerpts in the Talmud or somewhere and I'm unsure about some things, but I guess I'll have to play it by ear and learn. Thank you as you videos were always helpful to me in my earliest days of becoming observant and I go to an Orthodox Shul. Chag Sukkot Sameach
I love happiness! Thank you for sharing these holidays with us. I am always impressed with the traditions you instill in your family and the love that you have for them. I wish more my family had more traditions even though they wouldn't be steeped in such a faith as yours.
I love ALL your vds. Bringing Light & Love. Brings me tons of admiration for Jews around the world they really can shine their light and love for the Creator. May the Lord keeps blessing you and your precious family.
So glad I found your channel. I’m not Jewish but I have friends who are and I love learning about their way of life. You’re an inspiration and your happiness is contagious! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.
De merveilleux jours de Sukkot, Sarah, pour toute votre famille. Affections et amour à vous tous !🙏❤
I love happiness! I read a book series when I was a child called "All of a Kind Family " that described the life of a Jewish family in New York in the early 1900s. I LOVED those books! They described all of the holidays, including Succoth. The holiday sounds so fun. I was surprised that the prophets come to visit! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.
I read that book growing up to 😃
I LOVED those books! Going to go to the library and read them again ❤
I love happiness! I am not Jewish, but I always enjoy your videos.
I love happiness, Sara!!! Beautiful celebration of sukkhot, eating and living outside in the best part of the year!!! May you and your family be blessed with love and joy in the new year! ❤
AMEN and same to you sweetie!
I love happiness! I am an older Christian woman and feeling led to learn about the Feasts and most importantly what is done and why. I'm finding a need to simplify my life with more meaningful, intentional things and to put my contentment, trust and hope in God, not man-made, fleeting happiness. Thank you for sharing as I'm always slow to ask questions which may be offensive, but desire to learn.
I love happiness! Thank you Dr Malka for sharing your wisdom and beautiful holiday. I’m a Christian woman and absolutely love learning about Jewish customs and mitzvahs. I sometimes teach children’s church and wanted to teach the kiddos about Sukkot and had them all sit in little tents while we did our lesson. They had so much fun! I do wish I had seen this video beforehand though lol. I didn’t know about the rods of different leaves! I think that is so fascinating and love the emphasis on unity despite differences. Thank you again! I pray you have a fantastic week!
I love Happiness! I’m so excited for Sukkot this year! All praises to the Most High Elohim! Chag Sameach to each of you!❤
I love happiness ❤, thank you for continuing to teach us your beautiful ways of celebrating the Jewish holidays. Sending so much love and happiness from the uk 🇬🇧❤ xxx
Thank you so much Katherine ❤️
I love happiness. I am Christian, and the blessing at the wailing wall made me think how electricafying it must be to receive the blessing in person. Thank you for sharing your family's traditions.
I love happiness ❤️ Thank you for sharing, I had not heard of this holiday before and found your video really interesting. Connecting to nature and how our ancestors experienced life appeals very much to me as a way to step out of the busyness and commercialisation of today and bring us back to the joy of spirituality and being with loved ones. I appreciate your content and always feel a sense of love emanating from your content. Thank you x
aww thank you so so much for your lovely comment: you made my day!
wishing you all the best and only happiness! xoxoxo
I love happiness! And happiness for me is having you as part of my Sunday routine!
I love happiness! Thank you for this special video - I feel as though I have been allowed to participate in this joyful time with your family. I especially enjoyed seeing the decorations in your Sukkah - I see the evidence of your daughters helping with this special project; how lovely.
I love happiness! Stay safe and blessed! I love learning about your culture, and all cultures. Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.♥️🙏🇺🇲
I love happiness! You, my dear are a blessing. Your videos are so tastefully informative, so calming, and so loving (I really needed a loving message today.). Thank you for sharing your life and traditions with us. Peace be with you and your family. 💚
Thank you Sara for explaining 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I love Israël ; I pray for the Shalom of Jerusalem 🕎🔯🇮🇱 May G'd Bless you and your family! I love happiness ❤ Sending my love, shalom shalom from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
I love happiness! Thank you for sharing this beautiful custom with us. One of the Jewish children's books I bought for my classroom (the same one in which I was reading about the blowing of the shofar for Rosh Hashanah) also includes instructions for assembling a sukkah (it's much more simple than the nice one your family has constructed, but it meets the basic requirements) in the Sukkot chapter. I had not been previously aware of this holiday, or the customs associated with it, until I got that book.
I find it very sweet that you do fun things to make sure that kids associate joy with the holidays. I think that’s such a huge part of our lives. A lot of my good memories are simply religious celebrations even though i personally am an atheist now.
I love happiness. Thank you and your family for sharing this holiday with us. Love and prayers from Eden,North Carolina usa
Shalom lam learning new about the Suckot and l am so happy.From Papua New Guinea.G-D bless you
Hi Dr. Sara!! GREAT VIDEO!! ❤️. Very informative! It looks like a magical time for you and your family! I absolutely LOVE and RESPECT the devotion you hold for you religion, lifestyle and how you teach your children the values of your life! SO VERY SPECIAL! ❤️👍🌹
I love happiness! What surprised me the most was how many people you can fit in a sukkah.
I don't know if you'll see this but know that you have been in my prayers you and your family and of course Israel 🤍🕊️🙏🇮🇱
I love happiness….thank you for sharing your customs. Your voice is so peaceful and full of love. Everyone’s traditions can be traced to Jewish customs….of course they have been interpreted differently by each nationality but in the end we are all God’s children.
I love happiness. Thank you for always sharing these. ❤
You are so kind thank YOU for being here!
I love happiness... I was surprised at your outing for the children... picking apples, petting zoo and the fair... it seems a little bit like our fall celebration from when I was a child... ❤
I love happiness! Thank you again Sara for sharing! I had no idea! Are the kids out of school for this week? Having them go to a Jewish school has to help there. I love learning about your faith and traditions. Much love and happiness to you and yours!
Aww thank you Suzanne ❤️❤️❤️
Yes they are off so it’s family time thank G.od 🥰🥰🥰
Stay safe and blessed my sweet friend xoxoxo
I love happiness… you are loved.. stay safe…stay blessed.
I love happiness! Thank you Sara for a wonderful video teaching us about Sukkot. I have heard about this holiday and knew booths were involved but nothing else. I think it is important to learn about other cultures and religions so we can understand each other more and realise we are more alike than we think. Thank you and God's blessings to you and your family!
I love happines
I love happiness! Thank you for another lovely video. I find them very meaningful and your warmth and kindness give me strength and hope. Love and best wishes to you and your family. 😊
I love happiness ❤ thank you for spreading warmth and kindness. I found your Chanel while laying i a hospital room. This (and i am not jewish) gave me feeling of belonging and homeness. Thank you again ❤
Pray for Israel and the People of Israel
What impressed me the most in this video; the love and joyfulness to celebrate this beautiful festivel as a family. Have a blessed and beautiful day
Thank you so so much for your kind words
May G.od bless you and your family ❤️
@@frumitup I have always seemed out people with the same spirit as myself. Race or religion is not the variables, it is the love and devotion to God.
I know the struggles to have family and working in the medical field. It is impossible unless our mighty God is #1 in our lives. Shalom...Nancy
I love happiness! Et tes vidéos me rendent heureuse. Ce qui m'a surprise? La disponibilité des produits (cédrat etc) ici aussi. Je vais essayer d'aller voir des sukkot près d'ici. Merci. ❤
tu es magnifique Martine!
gros bisous!
xoxoxo
@@frumitup gros câlins
I appreciate how you manage to show everything in such detail, but also maintain the privacy of your family and those around you. It shows your respect and integrity. I’m sending much love to you and your family on this special occasion!
