- It's Passover time and we are prepping and getting ready! I spend most of the week with you all sharing what we are doing to get ready for the Passover holiday as an Orthodox Jewish family living in the USA. We love celebrating Jewish holidays especially Passover. Passover requires a lot of prep and as Orthodox Jews we are very strict in our observance of the Jewish holiday of Passover.

❤ happy passover
❤❤
My elementary age daughter loves watching you while she cleans for Pesach! She has been so sad that she didn't see a Pesach prep from you this year! She came running into our room this morning screaming, Mommy Jar of Fireflies just posted her Pesach prep video 😄 She was so excited!!! Thank you for doing these videos! They mean so much to our family! Chag Pesach Sameach!!!!
Oh my gosh this just made my whole day!!!! I am way behind on a lot of the comments so just now seeing this but THANK YOU! And please tell her hello from Chana :)
@@jaroffireflies We just saw this and you touched her heart so much! We are also a homeschool family and we are the only family we know who keeps Torah etc so your videos are very precious to us! Thank you so much for them! We sincerely love you guys💖
@@user-bg6dw4mf9i ❤️❤️❤️ You’re doing amazing mama!
@@jaroffireflies 💖💕
My heart goes out to you all.
I agree, I wish we all could get along.
Happy Passover to you and your family ! May you, we and all the world experience real freedom and the complete removal of pain, suffering and sadness! 🤗
Thank you! Yes! 💐
I love it that you are so real and normal and just like us! So many of the religious people on UA-cam try to make it look spotless and they have a perfect life and everything is hunky-dory, but I love the way you keep it real! Happy Passover to yor❤
I think it’s hard on social media when it feels like you have to compete with people who are super wealthy or who just have very different lives. I appreciate your kind words very much ❤️
I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian and think it is cool that our celebrations are so close to each other. Pascha (Eastern Easter) being so late to western Easter has made me feel out of step with the rest of the Christian world. This makes me feel closer. Our Easter (Pascha) falls on May 5th this year.
Enjoy your holiday!
Oh, boy, this is where the rubber meets the road! It's finally erev Pesach and we're done with chametz for the next eight days! I already have a cleaning lady come every few months and I scheduled a cleaning last week, which freed me up for tasks that only I can do. Well worth the money. In New York, I knew of a cleaning company that specialized in pre-Pesach cleaning. Have a happy and kosher Pesach.
That is so cool that there is a company that specializes in Pesach cleaning! Hope your Pesach is going well!
The war and the attacks are definitely impacting Passover this year out here. My partner came out to see me last minute because I had some particularly difficult things that I needed some support after, and he had just left and gotten back to his own home before I saw it, and we couldn't be there to support each other through that. Everyone is fine, but it definitely shook us up for a bit, and has our focus away from the holiday.
I have such a toddlery toddler too! I feel this to my core. I can’t do anything with her home alone. Someone HAS to be here to ensure she isn’t burning down the house behind me while I clean.
Yes!!!1 SO much this!
From me in the UK. Much love. Watch you all the time. I do not have any religion but love watching your life. Xxx
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’re here!
You work so hard getting everything ready for the holiday! I hope your time is richly blessed and you get to relax even with a toddlery toddler! ❤
Thank you so much Barbara!
Good afternon to everyone!
When you do a deep cleaning in your house the feeling that produces on you is amazing. Peace of mind, satisfaction...I really love that feeling.
By the way, the brown bluse with sunflowers and papatias is so beautiful. 🌻🌼🍂
I wish you a happy Passover everyone who is celebrating! 🤍☺️
A big hug from Catalonia!
Thank you so very much! 💐💐💐
Thank you for sharing this preparation for Passover! Hope you and your family have a Blessed Passover…
Thank you Lisa!
So glad you got the upload to work. Have a blessed Passover!!! God bless and keep you and your precious family!!!
Thank you! Me too! When I woke up it said it would take 144 to upload lol I am so glad things picked up when I restarted it :)
Know what?
We cannot miss what we haven’t had yet, so I very much enjoyed your video and as always, learned some interesting information about Jewish life.
👏🏻 you should be proud that you’ve sent me to Google almost every video because my curiosity and desire for more has been instigated.
What’s that they say about teaching… that we don’t desire to give the information but the desire to seek it for oneself.
So apparently you were suppose to show just as much as you did.
Thanks as always!!
PS speaking of learning, I had to find out: Both mated woodpecker parents tend to the needs of offspring, including nest building. ❤ 🐦 ❤️
Oh thank you for your kind words and the woodpecker information! I appreciate you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome! Thanks for being here!
FABULOUS ideas! Love it!
Thanks so much! 😊
My favorite on Mondays!!!
Aw thank you!
חג פסח שמח וכשר🌸
Thank you!
A different kind of Passover this year. A place at the Seder table for a chair represents our hostages!
What a beautiful thought!!
Blessed Passover to you and your family!❤
Thanks so much!
I hope you and your family have a blessed Passover.
Thank you Donna!
I so needed to see your video today. Your voice is absolutely calming for me.
Aw thank you for your kind words! I hope you have a lovely week!
Hope you and your family Have a wonderful pesach
Thank you!
Sending you and your family a blessed Passover.
Thanks you so much ❤️
Im thinking of you all as always. ❤❤ You are amazing, you really are xx
Thank you so much!😊
I'm not Jewish but I love learning about your traditions and holidays. May your Passover be blessed, and joyous, and I will continue to pray for peace in the Middle East and continued prayers for Mr Fireflies family still over in Isreal.
Thank you Lisa! ❤️
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Passover!
Thank you so much Janith!
I often wonder how you are doing. I'm grateful to hear that you and yours are ok. I wish you a wonderful passover.
Thank you Betty ❤️
I would be totally into the boil poppers. Brilliant!
Thank you! 😊
Love the video. You are so creative. I’ve been studying from the beginning of the year the Bible in depth. So as you’re talking it’s coming to mind. Thank you and God bless you and your family. 😊❤
Thank you Kathleen!
Have blessed Pesach!
Thank you so very much!
שבת שלום יחג פסח כשר ושמח

Loved hearing baby Firefly in the background ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
A lot of ❤ and hugs for the whole firefly family and my prayers are with you and Israël 🙏
Thank you Andrea!
Happy Passover to you and your family!
Thanks so much!
Oh Friend! I pray for Israel! Such a scary time. But I trust in our Father in heaven. Please know that I keep your family in my prayers. ❤🙏
Thank you! ❤️
I pray your Passover observance is a blessed one. I love the items you got for your plague bags. Super cute ideas!
Totally nonPassover related-what a wonderful book Stefan Nona is!! I thought I had a good children’s literature library from teaching preschool for 25 years( plus my children and grands) , but yours puts mine to shame.
Have a wonderful Passover and I look forward to seeing you again the week after next.
Thank you so much Shawn! You’re so kind as always ❤️❤️❤️ It’s been a lot of fun curating our library over the years ❤️
Your plague bags gave me such a great idea for Sunday School! Thanks for sharing. Happy Passover to you and your family.
Glad you got some inspiration!
I always enjoy your videos. I learn so much from you and your beliefs you have so many different obligations to keep. Your little fire fly is so full of energy as you know they grow up so quickly. Hopefully your Passover was the best experience you could ever have had.
Thank you so much!
As always informative and fun
Loved the idea of the plague bags
I hope you have a peaceful Passover
Thanks so much Julia!
Wishing you a blessed Passover! ❤💐

lol thank you Theresa ❤️
I hope you and your family have happy Passover.
Thank you Teresa! ❤️
Can you elaborate on "selling" property that you don't use for Passover? Thank you. Hope your holy time was all it is meant to be.
Interested as well
I will explain this better in my next video because I didn't do a good job of explaining it in this video :)
I really hope everything goes well for Passover! I adore all your videos and enjoy all that I've learned from you!! Toddler Firefly sounds so adorable!! Hugs to all!
Thank you so much!
Happy Passover
Thank you Donna!
Thank you, Chana, for sharing your preparations for Pesach. Wishing you and your family a blessed Pesach from Australia. Chag Pesach sameach!
Thank you so much!
Happy pasach to you and your family
Thank you Elaine!
So true!
Happy Passover to you and your family

Happy Pesach!
I always enjoy learning more about Orthodox Judaism from you!
Thank you Lauren!
Happy Passover!!
Thank you!
Chana, you are a beautiful human being. Good to see you create joy and fun memori÷s with the little fireflies.😊 God bless you and yours. Love, jenwhite. 😊❤😊
Thank you so much! 😊 You are very kind!
Thank you so for all you do to bring us these wonderful videos. I so look forward to them. I was sorry to hear of your phone issues. I appreciate your work to make your videos and share your life. Aside, I was not encouraged in my faith to learn about other faiths. I am on a journey to learn… you have helped me so much! The more we learn the more we appreciate others who may not be exactly like us. ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words!
YAY!!!! It uploaded. Yes UA-cam I'm looking at you when I make my snarky remark! Wishing all who celebrate a blessed Pesach. Dropping off my "like" and saving this to my folder so I can go back and watch tonight when I am not at work.
LOL You crack me up! I love it! It was actually a wifi issue I think, I wasn't connected to the wifi and once I did that (and restarted the upload for like the 4th time), it worked at the normal speed of like 15/20 minutes, so yayyyyyy
Hi, Chana. First, I want you to know that you can share anything here with your community, no judgement, full support. Second, know that you are not alone in your grief; we are all feeling the frustration and sadness over what is happening in the Middle East, especially when it is a whole generation of children being traumatized, along with those in Ukraine. Third, we are so happy to know that Mr. FF's family is safe, and so glad that you are able to find those moments of peace and togetherness with each other...That is so important! And as always, thank you for sharing your holidays with us, and all of the teaching about Jewish traditions that you do! Always love to see what you have put in the plague bags- you are so creative and funny! Have a great week, see you next time!
Thank you Louise!
@@jaroffireflies ❤❤
I saw some terrific plague items in my Facebook feed and thought of you! Happy Pesach!❤
So fun!
Blessed Passover
Thank you Cynthia!
You can make everything look so easy. Baby Firefly 👶 knows just what he wants. The smile on your face when he asks for something is just magical ❤😂🎉
Aw thank you :)
Happy Passover😊, I think you would be a wonderful neighbor, you and your library
Aw thank you Kay!
As the unofficial manager of the best and most Toddlerly Toddler ever I wanted to gently remind you that all of hisvrelentless energy and enthusiasm for life is going to serve him well. And when he’s running a multinational conglomerate and he’s a billionaire he will take care of his ee-mah and aba and his brothers and sisters. And possibly his favourite rabid hockey fan and manager! I am very grateful that you are taking care of yourself and getting some help so that it is not all falling on your shoulders. I know you said you enjoy it and you love taking care of your family but there are times where you also need to take care of yourself too. I know Mr. Firefly and you are a wonderful team but there are times when even the best coaches have to call in help from the sidelines. See you soon! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! :) LOL
Happy Passover to you and your family! It looks like much fun will be had. I love that you’re planning a food fight with the marshmallows.
Thanks so much Colleen!
If only we could all just get along ❤ so true so true.
Sorry about your phone and the video, but you did a great job fixing the problem because, this, video is great 👍 hope you have a blessed passover, my friend ❤
Thanks so much Rissy ❤️❤️❤️
I really enjoyed this video, you reminded me of a happy teenager, not an insult but a compliment if a strange one. I always look forward to seeing what you are doing and learning about your Jewish life. ❤️
Thank you 😊
Happy Passover y’all!
Thank you!
I have been gone from your channel for a while. I'm so happy that I came back and found you again. Thank you for a great upload
Welcome back! So very nice to see you :)
Happy Pesach Chana!
Thank you 😊
Love the Passover plague bags. What a great way to involve and teach children in a memorable way!
I totally agree!
Chag Pesach Sameach! Those plague bags are super cute! Very creative!
Oh thank you!
Technical difficulties surely must be a modern day plague. You showed us what resilience and patience look like. Thank you. 💚
Thank you so much for your kind words and understanding :)
Happy Passover!
Thank you Donna!
@@jaroffireflies you are welcome!
That was a brilliant choice for boils. My mother did something similiar to your bags when my siblings and I were young, and it made for such a fun holiday! Chag Pesach sameach!
So fun! Thank you Elizabeth! Chag Sameach!
I so enjoy seeing how you organize all this , and love hearing the description of the toddlery toddler. Am going to have my first Seder with friends with grandchildren - a couple of toddlers - and I expect the boy will be much the same! Going soon!
Hope your seders were awesome!
Happy Passover to you and your family. You are so clever! I think all will love the Bag 'o plagues 😊
Thank you so much!
Happy Passover.
Thank you Mary!
Happy Passover. May your relatives continue to be safe.
Thank you so much Ellan!
You always have such creative ideas for the plagues - I want a plague bag too!
Thank you!
Prayers for all to be safe during Passover. The Lord knows what we need. Seek and you shall find.
Thank you Peggy Sue!
I loved “toddleriest toddler ever”! My middle kiddo, the elder of my two daughters, was like that. She climbed EVERYTHING! She’s almost 45 now, and her eldest, almost 18, was just like his mama! lol! My son who was older than her and my other daughter who was younger were not as busy.
Sending love and prayers for you, your family, and Israel. Blessings for a wonderful Pesach.
Thank you so much!
Pesach sameach! Hope the holiday is wonderful for you and yours. Your talking about the woodpecker reminds me of my latent obsession with mourning doves. My childhood home was a small house with those old corrugated-metal awnings and a window AC unit in one of my bedroom windows, a combination which apparently was prime real estate for a family of mourning doves. So every spring while I lived in that house, I had the absolute joy of watching baby doves hatch, grow up, and fledge!
Oh so fun! I love mourning doves too! We have them in our yard often :) Thank you for sharing!
Chag Pesach Sameach! I Love your bag of Plagues! I remember you talking about this in years past. How fun for the Children and that you take in their JOY! On another note, I agree, the hostages weigh heavily on my heart and pray & cry for them daily. May Hashem release them quickly! It has hit me that there are Jews who will be missing from their family's Pesach table this year... but not for long! Baruch Hashem!
Hope you and family have a wonderful pesach
Thank you! Chag v’kasher sameach!
chag pessach sameach! i like the plague bags, the kids must have had a lot of fun with it 🎉
Thank you! Yes, they really enjoyed it :)
Nice that you can get help.
It’s really nice
Have a blessed Passover! I had wondered if your dog kept kosher, now I know. You always teach us new things, which one of the reasons I enjoy watching you. Blessings to you and your family!
Dogs don’t need to keep kosher exactly but there are some rules about what we can feed them. For Passover she needs a grain free dog food which we already feed her.
Happy Passover to all that celebrate.
Thank you Cheryl!
We have that same vacuum cleaner we love it it picks up the dog hair nicely
Yes it does!
"Pop the Boil" was very creative, Chana 🙂↕️
☺️☺️☺️
I'm glad you are getting help with the cleaning before the Passover. Passover will be more enjoyable if you are not exhausted ❤
It’s been so incredible! Still tons to do and I’m exhausted every day, so I can’t even imagine if I still had to do all those other things
I’m sorry you lost so much footage and your hard work! But I hope you end up loving your new phone!! I hope you are enjoying your Passover! Love the plague bags! Grasshoppers are one of my favorite insects! Those toys were so cute! I love woodpeckers too!! I never saw them when I was growing up but we have quite a few in my area now. Fascinating to watch and they’re so pretty! ❤😊
Thank you Karen!
Your bags of plagues are great fun. I have been thinking of the hostages during your Passover prayers for them. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Annette!
Hi Chana, you worked so hard preparing for Passover, I am sorry you lost some of your footage I could see how frustrating that was for you. But you ended up doing a great job of vlogging the process. I appreciate your thoughts are on the hostages & all that is happening, but hope this preparation for Passover proved to be a good distraction & a cleansing for your home. Enjoyed seeing this year's "Plague Bags" as ever innovative & creative, you never disappoint Chana 😉children must love coming to your house 😊 Have a wonderful Passover 🥰 Clare x
Thank you so much Clare! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh girl, you work hard so enjoy that extra help! I too had the most toddlery Toddler Ever who turned into the most fearless child who turned into a thrill seeking young man. I pray that you only have the toddler years!!
Thank you!
Haven't watched the video yet but I want to wish you and your loved ones a very nice and peaceful Passover. 💚
Thank you so much Martine!
Exactly!!!!!!!! Wouldnt it be beautiful if everyone could just get along!!!! You are brilliant, your bag of plagues is so fun. I have learned in my life that phone updates are my enemy!!!! LOL. Happy Passover and as always loved your video, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so very much Cathy!
Happy Passover for you and your family Joann St Louis Mo
Thank you Joann!
Happy Passover to you and your family! Passover is not the same for me anymore, since my parents and grandparents passed away. But I still do Passover like I did when I was growing up.
Thank you Lisa! Hope you are enjoying the holiday!
