I’m very happy that you started your UA-cam channel! I enjoy it so much and learn a ton! 🙏❤️❤️❤️ Please keep it going! 🙏❤️
Thank you! Really appreciate that! 🙏 ️❤️ ️❤️
Have a lot in the pipeline 😂❤️
Your channel is very informative and has high quality of what is Israel and the great People of Israel about from many walks of life especially coming from a modern orthodox like you who bridge the gap between the secular and the ultra orthodox. I wish the best for you in your youtube vlogging. Keep on educating us the people from b’chul.
Thank you so much! Appreciate that a lot! Means a lot to me 🙏🙏
Thank you, Tamar! You taught me something new, as always. ✡️❤️
Thank you so much! Always appreciate your comments and thoughts ✡️❤️
An answer to an unspoken prayer. Thank-you, Tamar
Yasher koach!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Really appreciate that ❤😊
This video was very informativ :) Living in Norway, Israel seems sooo far away. I dream of seeing your country some time. Have a blessed week :)
Thanks for your kind words! I appreciate that!
That would be absolutely amazing! Thank you! Same to you! ️ 🙏 🙏
It would be a dream for me to visit Norway! I bet it’s so beautiful there! I don’t think I’d like the cold! 🥶 I’m very cold natured! I would LOVE to see the Northern Lights! I live in USA.
@@karenjohnson5634 That is so nice. The winters can be cold, But it is very pretty. You should come in the summer, then we have the midnight sun. Up north the sun do not set, and its amazing. Where in the US do you live?
@@villemokellinthat would be so neat to experience the midnight sun!! I know it does that in Alaska, USA. But then it will be dark most of the day too, in other times in the year. That would be hard for me to not see the sunshine. Too many cloudy days makes me feel a little depressed. I live in the southeastern part of USA. Sorry I’m not more specific. But the internet can be creepy. NOT saying you’re creepy, but I feel uneasy about giving specifics of my location. ❤ thank you for responding!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤😊
@@karenjohnson5634 I get why you are not spesific. I am the same way. I hope you get to experience as mutch as possible. Be blessed
Thank you for your answers ❤
tamar,
you continue to prove how real you are on this video. and informative. as always i always learn something
Thank you so much 🌺
I really appreciate that ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for al the interesting information you give us. I'm happy that you started this channel.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️ I really appreciate your kind words 🙏🙏
Dear sister I can see God’s grace and mercy on your face..God bless you and your sweet family ❤️🇮🇱❤️
So sweet of you to say 😘 Thank you so much, be blessed from Israel 💕💕
I was so excited to watch this! Where I live in Oklahoma it’s kinda pricey but not too bad. We bought our home 8 years ago and got a great deal and interest rate. We also have a home in NC with land but we only have to pay $500 a year in property tax. Public school in my town is pretty good. I don’t mind religion being taught but I feel if that’s going to happen you need to let every religion to be taught as well. But that will never happen 😂 I feel my husband and I are capable of teaching our child our religion and the school can handle the reading and writing and math. I have thought about home schooling. Do people in Israel home school? Hope you have a great week!
Thank you so much 💞 wow amazing how you were able to buy for good price 😊 Homeschooling in Israel isn't that popular but I do have a friend who does 💕 A lot of schools finish at 1/2 p.m, you can extend till 4/5.
Israel is a beautiful Jewish country and its people are very cultured and sacred like no other✡️
Oy vey
Thank you for answering my questions!!!!!❤❤❤ You are a very smart lady! Didn’t know you had a masters’s degree! Everything is so expensive now! In my area an average apartment can run you $900/mo to over $2000/mo. A 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with 1479 square feet is $1700/mo. The housing market is ridiculous!!! Ever since covid, prices have skyrocketed! A 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house with 1696 square feet with about 8 acres of land is for sale $460,000! In 2018, the house sold for $251,000!!!! Typically you put down 20%, but you can get loans with 0% down! Your monthly payment will average $1200+/mo. The house above is about $2732/mo. We typically do 30 year loans. (All this is in US dollars.) We bought our house in 2003 and got a great deal. I’d love to move, but we could never afford today’s prices. And to me, it’s not a good investment because the prices are at the top of the market and you will never be able to sell them for more and make a good profit.
It’s very common for people to buy houses because it’s usually cheaper than renting an apartment. Or at least the same amount in today’s market.
Where I live, it gets very hot so we use air conditioner and heat our houses with natural gas or electric furnaces. Some people use propane or oil, but that’s really expensive. We use ceiling fans too! I love my windows open too! I like it cooler when I’m sleeping but don’t mind it warmer during the day.
It seems like living in the city is more convenient.
That’s neat you get a variety of seasons!
I would love to visit Thailand! It looks beautiful and I can imagine the food is fantastic!!
I cannot wait to hear more about the Temple!! It is SO fascinating to me!!
Public schools here do not teach the Bible and G-d is really pushed out of the schools. It’s sad. You have to go to private schools to get biblical teaching. But you can also go to Jewish schools and Muslim schools, if that’s your desire. They are also private and some are expensive. A private Christian school can be about $500/mo per child for 10 months. But luckily they offer scholarships and discounts. So there is something for everyone.
I’m glad you are doing this UA-cam channel! I’m glad it’s giving you an outlet for creativity! It’s so neat to connect with other people from all over the world and make new friends!! ❤❤❤
See you soon!
Your friend,
Karen❤😊
Happy to answer your questions! More topics to come!! ♥😊
Wow interesting about the housing market on your end of the world! Such an increase in prices!!
You enjoy traveling?
Sad about public schools, not teaching any bible... I know private Jewish school can be really really expensive (20k a year!), sometimes my parents joke that is why they moved to Israel 😅
Thank you so much for all your support! I really appreciate your comments and friendship ❤😊
I always look forward hearing from you! ☺♥
@@tamarmeisels4637yes!!! I enjoy traveling!!! No money to travel right now, but I would love to see the world! My late grandmother was an avid traveler and my mom loves it too. I guess I get it from them! I would love to see all 50 states in America. I’ve seen over 20. I count it if I just drive through a small portion of the state. 😂
My dreams would be to see the Northern Lights, Alaska, of course Israel❤, Saint Basil’s Cathedral in Russia, pyramids in Egypt, all the popular spots in Europe, just to name a few😂😂😂😂
I almost went to Ecuador for a year in college so I could learn Spanish. I’m kicking myself now for not doing it. I listened to a grouchy Spanish professor who said to the class “if you aren’t at least an intermediate level of Spanish you shouldn’t go there.” I let those words defeat me. Huge regret. Lesson learned- don’t let a sourpuss steal your dreams 😢
I also look forward to hearing from you!!!! ❤❤❤❤😊😊
That’s funny what your parents said about moving there for your education!!😂 Christian schools in my area are $8000-$10,000/year. I just looked up a Jewish school and it was about $21,000! That is really high! I wish Jewish school was cheaper so more kids could go!
