- We are beyond excited to move to Israel this year BzH! We are also excited to vlog and document our journey. In this vlog, we celebrate our first Pesach (Passover) as a Jewish family all while decluttering our home. It was an extremely hectic time, but also a wonderful experience.
We hope you enjoy. Stay tuned for the next vlog.
Thanks for watching and Chag Sameach (Happy Passover)

Baruch HaShem!!!
You’re absolutely amazing! Thank you sooooo much
@@houseoflev you are very welcome. I'm happy for your family. super inspiring!!!
Thank you 😊
Israel is lucky to have you as some of its newest citizens. May this move bring your family peace, prosperity and a deepening of your commitment both to your faith and to each other.
Beautiful! Thank you very much!
Boruch HaShem! My wife and I are loving your videos. We have been in the Holy Land going on six years. We also love the family profile picture. Please continue to show your journey to Israel.
Wow 6 years!!! Can’t wait to be able to say that. Thank you for your love and support! BzH we get to share the entire journey
One thing! Not everything in Israel is kosher! I bought some candies thinking the same thing and nope!

Boruch Hashem! I was worried about you on Yom Tov. Didn't hear from you for soooooooo long. I am posting this happy comment before even watching the vid. B"H you are all ok!
Aww you’re very kind! Yes we haven’t posted in a while. It’s been a lot going on as you could imagine 😃. Plus, it’s good to take breaks from social media. And we definitely needed the break. Thank you so much for your love and care
I'm in my conversion process, you guys are amazing. Sending love from Brazil❤ 🇧🇷
Good luck! If you ever move to Israel, my neighbourhood has a big Brazilian population and synagogue. You will have plenty of people to talk to.
Yes, we are expecting millions of Brazilians to come and settle the NEGEV. Google Jazon Ain! It is in the works and has been for a few years, hoping that South Americans and other Anousim will double the population of Israel. Am Israel Chai!
That's amazing!! Thank you
AMAZING!! You should come through your process successful! Please keep us updated. Hatzlacha 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
LOVE YOU BRAZIL 🇧🇷
Bem vinda! Eu sou da Bahia e me converti a mais de trinta anos , Israelis são um povo muito diretos levará tempo para você se acostumar mas aceitar as diferenças e a melhor coisa
Kosher and happy Passover, may hashem bless you,
and- ''ברוכים הבאים לארץ הקודש''💗
Thank you so much! Chag sameach

Love House of Lev family!! You guys always put a smile on my face and heart! 🤗
Hey 👋🏾 Ruby! We appreciate your love and support from day 1
You guys are amazing! It’s much harder to make Pesach when you have little children.
This is what we do: We move our chometz food and makeshift kitchen (toaster oven and burner) into the dining room for about a week before… while we clean and prepare the kitchen for Pesach. Sometime we have takeout food that week to reduce the cooking load in the dining room. The day of bedikas chometz we clean up the dining room and get it ready for Pesach.
We also have an extra fridge in the garage to hold all the Pesach groceries until the kitchen fridge is ready. I do not bring Pesach food into my chometz kitchen. Dry goods will stay in a box until the kitchen is Pesach ready.
Once the kitchen is ready I bring all the Pesach goods and food into the kitchen and use the garage fridge for the chometz stuff.
Also, no food is ever allowed in any room except for the kitchen or dining room all year.
WOW! Now that is how it’s done! We are going to screen shot this and save it! Thank you so much
yes. we don't allow food out of the kitchen and dining area all year. makes cleaning bedrooms etc. less stressful.
Your children are so beautiful!!!! I'm really looking forward to your journey to Israel. I was there back in the mid 80s, I stayed on a kibbutz for six months. I hope to go back some day, I would really like to retire there, the only thing holding me back is that I don't want to leave my friends. It's a tough decision. Also downsizing would be tough, I don't even live in a house, just an apartment but I have so much stuff!
We can understand how you feel. You will return in the right time!!! BzH! Keep talking to Hashem about it.
We hope you all had a great Yomtov! The world needs the heilige Harts! ❤❤✡✡
Love you Newcombs!!! Hope to meet you all soon BzH! Chag Sameach
I can feel the Passover pressure through the video! I hope your Passover has been wonderful!!! Miss seeing you!! ❤
It was definitely pressure! 😂😂 But we made it through
I’m currently nesting while pregnant and this is the perfect timing to celebrate
Woohoooo! Amazing . We’re so happy for you. It should be in the right time🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 B’shaah Tova
You guys are such an inspiration and a source of happiness and pride to so many of us Jews . Thank you Hashem for blessing us with the Lev family ❤ .
You are the best. Thank you!!
Yaaay ❤ I can't wait for your new journey to come to Israel
Wooohoooooo
Wow! Amazing! So happy for you! A huge smile on my face! Mazal tov! Hope to see you here in Israel soon! Thank you for sharing your wonderful special inspiring journey with us! May you go from strength to strength. G-d bless!!!
Wow, your family is amazing. We are lucky to have you as part of the Jewish people!
Aw thx 😊 We’re beyond blessed
Now that 1st vlog was simply beautiful. I know you were so tired but these videos are giving us hope in converting also. I just know it's the right path for ALL mankind. Toddah Rabbah❤
Woohooo! Keep pushing!
Chag sameach to your beautiful, holy family!!!
Thank you! Chag Sameach
So excited for you guys❤ welcome home🙏🏽, the homeland has been waiting for you🌸
And we CANNOT WAIT
So inspiring! Love you, House of Lev!!!!! Hatzlacha on your aliyah!

Chag Sameach ❤
Chag sameach
So excited for you that b'ezrat haShem "Next year in Jerusalem" is going to be the real deal for you! I hope we'll get to see you enjoying that moment, if only virtually!
How beautiful it is to make Aliyah! I lived in Israel between ages 9-14, dream of moving back one day :)
So excited for you guys but gonna miss y’all! Hope your Chag has been amazing🔥
Hey Cheyenne!! Thank youuuu! We’re gona miss you guys also! We know you’re maybe just a few years behind us. BzH!!!
Hey guys, the vlog was great, it was very insightful. I definitely enjoyed it, lots of effort there. I felt Akiva's frustration 😂😂. May the memory for every frustration be for a blessing, lol. Looking forward to meet you both in Israel G-d willing. Happy Passover and B'ezrat HaShem on preparing to move from the US.
The couch- a place of mystery, though you should never be totally surprised at what turns up .
Mazel Tov to all of you. love and peace and strength to you as venture forth.
What a beautiful Jewish family ❤❤ Hugs from Israel
You made a nice video. And just accept with some laughter in your heart that you are still 'students'. You will experience that every year things go easier. You just have to find your own prep routines. Next pesach for sure with your own easy to find seder bord.👍🌻
Thank you. Looking forward to the journey 😃
Wow how fantastic! Have a wonderful life in Israel!
Thank you! 😊 can’t wait
Wow!!! We want to do that!!! Looking forward !!!
👊🏾👊🏾Do it
Some of the most delicious (i.e. cutest) memories of Pesach are how the little kids get the Four Questions just a little bit wrong. If it's good enough, their nephews and nieces will hear of it, and the teasing won't end even when you have grandkids. (The repetition of "mikol haleilot" at the end of each question is quite common. Happens in every household.)
😄
We can't wait to welcome u home with open hands 💜
Thank you. That means soooo much
Mazel Tov , guys !!!!! Your Aliyah is an obvious spiritual pull back home. ❤
Thank you! It’s definitely a pull!!! We can’t wait any longer
Chag Sameach to you and your family! ♥ So happy for your family!
I live a Chabad life,B"H. The only processed food we eat is wine, a few use cold pressed oil. AND NOTHING TOUCHS OUR matzos the first 7 days. 4 or 5 weeks before I clean the big scrubbing jobs. Then it gets a quick clean just before the Yom Tov. Where you put your hot foods down it is best to have 3 layers under. EVERY YEAR I GET BETTER AT THIS. How careful you are can have what things we not knowing did wrong disappear . YOU ARE ALL DOING SO WONDERFUL!!!!
That’s next level. Thx for sharing 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Goals
Amazing 🎉I’m really considering doing Aliyah with my 4 kids too. May HaShem guide me.❤
I’ll tell you what my friend Nissim Black told us… “DONT THINK, JUST JUMP!!”
Good for you! You guys give us so much chizuk
I came to Israel ( we havnt officially made aliyah yettttt but taking it a year at a time because so hard to leave family) But just want to ease your mind, it took my 5 year old, and 4 year old boys about 8 months to be absolutely fluent in hebrew. They understood quicker, and it's something that is absolutely incredible to watch in a child's brain. When they start school I just kept telling them that Hashem made a miracle that kids brains are like sponges and can learn language WAY faster then grown ups. That gave them a lot of confidence I think, my 5 year old would always repeat it to me. Now I always tell him, remember when Hebrew was hard for you? He corrects me, and already translates for his Dad ( I speak.) Anyways that was my biggest anxiety when I came here so hope it helps! Hope your kids get placed in classes and gans that have kids from all over, we are in a predominately french community, so half my kids class were learning hebrew from French, Ukrainian, and Russian, and half were native hebrew speakers. I think that mix made them feel less weird about not speaking the language.. Older kids do take longer, but they'll forsure get there!!
Now this is very encouraging! Yes, we’ve heard that the little ones will catch it very quickly! Hatzlacha
A beautiful and blessed family!
You are so kind. Thank you
Looking into making Aliyah after Pesach. Hope to gleen some tips from you!
Whaaaa? 😃😃😃😃 that’s amazing!!!!! It’s time for all of us to go home. Hatzlacha 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@houseoflev Agreed and amen!
You guys did great!! Until next year in yerushalayim!
Thank you! And yessssss we can’t wait
IN Israel, the kitchen counter tops are made of ganite. You dont have to cover them with contact paper. You scrub them down, then splash boiling water all over. Walah! Kosher for Pesach.
Now that….. is the LIFE!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We’re looking forward to that
You are the most amazing Jewish couple in the world!! Beautiful family ❣️
Aww thx so much! 😊
❤❤❤❤ Good Luck guys. We love you
We love you back
Can't wait ❤
Some people have a separate pesach kitchen, and they begin to cook after Purim, that’s not my case. I usually kasher 3 days before and during that transition time I make a designated chometz section in my house either down stairs or in the garage.
Oh that’s smart! 😃😃😃😃 Thanks for that
I've been having matzah pizza every day and I'm LOVING it ❤
Good Luck to your beautiful family!!!
Thank you!!
I follow the sefradic tradition it’s not that hard to Kosherize the kitchen . For example we kasher the utensils in the Dishwasher. There is no need to kasher the countertops . We kasher pots by putting them in the oven on highest heat for about 30-45 min or ..just putting them in a bigger pot with boiling water ( like you did 😊) . We don’t kasher glass we just clean it . Etc
Love you guys - keep it up. I love the cleaning time strategy around nap time. My life lol ❤
😂😂😂🤣yesss you feel me!
Waiting for you here overlooking Jerusalem!
Can’t wait! Please daven for us next time you’re at the kotel! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Even though I don't agree with your religion I think this is great. My mom was Jewish and she lived in Czechoslovakia. And she always wanted to move closer to her people good luck with your move
Thank you. 🙏🏾 Wishing you a continued peaceful life my friend
You are a Jew whether you disagree or not
Can’t wait to see you guys make Aliyah! Very exciting and definitely worth it, when I’m able to convert I hope to one day make Aliyah and join the Jewish nation of Yisrael
Thank you! It should be all on the right time.
I'm considering making aliyah in a few years as well. Mazel 🔥
I was super exhausted getting ready for Pesach this year. It felt like I was never going to finish. Now I am still putting the kitchen back together. My husband said I am doing too much but I want to put things in the way I like and not the way there were. Yes, it makes more work but once I'm done it will be worth it.
I feel ya
Am curious where you're planning to dig in roots when you arrive here. Wow what a challenge! Facts: You have to buy closets. Not everything is kosher here, but there are many kosher supermarkets. Our week starts Sunday - Friday work places close but shopping and school are open! A decent sized apartment here is less than 900 sq feet. Most live in apartments. Even though most Israelis are secular, they still love Friday night family dinners with kiddush and love Passover Seders. Hope you had a good one!
Pesach Sameach. Next Year in Yerushalyim. The Most High Bless Your Family. Shalom Mispacha!! 😊😊❤❤
Chazak uvarukh! Dosnt making Aliya usually take 6 months to a year? How did you get to speed the process up? I'm davening and hoping my family and I can make aliyah in the near future to
Wow, i have tears in my eyes....
Love from Israel 💕💕💕
❤ chag samech enjoy
Chava is always so elegantly dressed 🤩 Hope you guys have a safe trip home

אשריכם!!

Pesach is intense. I’m still recovering ..
I love seeing you with your sweet family! I would love to know if becoming Jewish impacted your relationships with eachother or with your kiddos. How has Judaism impacted how you parent? So excited for you!!
ברוכים הבאים ! חג שמח
Chag sameach
פעם ראשונה פה. ממש מגניב. בהצלחה רבה בקליטה ובמסע שאתם עוברים ❤
Thx so much
I’m not Jewish but I love watching your channel and love your little family. Your kiddos are so cute! Good luck on your move and please please be safe! Not gonna lie it scares me a bit with everything going on but I know Hashem will bless you in all you do.
Understood! Thank you very much for your support
I hope you all had a beautiful Pesac. I spent Pesac in Jerusalem for the first time ever and it was amazingly wonderful. There is Kosher food everywhere and Kosher for Pesac foods are easily accessible and plentiful. You will be so happy to eat freely without worry and distress. Have a wonderful time moving to Israel! You will be so happy...
Yesssss !! We can’t wait! 😃😃😃😃😃 I’m sure you had a blast
@@houseoflev As parents, you will be so happy for your children to have the opportunity to grow up in the Holy Land. The environment is very positive for observant families.
What I notice immediately after arriving was the warmth shared amongst families. Be it on the bus, driving through neighborhoods, playgrounds and market shopping you become absorbed in the family relationship connections. You just don’t see so much in US these days.
@@TorahResearchScholar This is truly something special
@@houseoflev Yesterday, I was trying to exchange shoes, for a smaller size, at the Haddar Mall in Jerusalem and being that Memorial Day was approaching I wanted to make sure to shop and return early. Well that is not what happened! I took a different bus to save 20 minutes but actually went the opposite direction, LOL. What happened next was amazing! Classes all over Israel closed early and while I am waiting for the bus to head in the proper direction at least 100 Yeshivah youth flooded the bus stop around the ages (5-12). What a treat to see children playing on the side walk, having stick battles, examining me and my electronics (literally looking directly over my shoulder and near my right side) to see what I was up to. I chuckled from their natural curiosity.
And when they became a little too rowdy the men popped out of nowhere to calm them down and give them a lesson or two on how they should behave. They sang Yeshivah songs and danced amongst themselves. Not once did they become aggressive with one another in any form or fashion. I was on the bus stop 40 minutes and thanked Hashem for giving me the opportunity to share in such a special moment.
I thought to myself how wonderful it is to be home in the land of my forefathers and foremothers.
Your children will thrive!
@@TorahResearchScholar Wow! Thats amazing! I don't even know how to wrap my head around that. Such a different culture. Thx for sharing this beautiful moment with us
So happy to have you home where you belong ❤
Thank you! 😃 we can’t wait
Beautiful family! Incredibly faithful to Judaism! You made mi so proud of you! The way you prepared for Passover and Bravo how your little girl sang Ma Nishtana halaila haze mi kol halelot ! beautiful! Thank you for giving us a glimpse on your journey to Judaism! ❤
Your message really means alot. Thank you. 😊
And we appreciate you taking the time to watch
מזל טוב ❤
Will you have to serve in the IDF, or are you exempt because you have children, or because you are very religious?
Your children are adorable and beautiful, by the way.
I think he’s probably too old to be drafted. Though he might still be able to volunteer if he really wanted to. 🤷🏻♀️
I’m pass the required age.

Chag sameach!!! You should have much hatzlacha!!
In regards to making everything ready with the kids around, I always buy them kosher for Passover snacks or you could have corn chips around the house and potato chips that are not kosher for Passover around the house because it’s not real Chometz
👍🏾👍🏾

ברוכים הבאים!!
I know this is an off topic situation that I’m in, but I need your help badly House Lev, so I have money saved up to move to Israel, my girlfriend is Jewish, my mom is very very judgmental about everything, going from watching news clips out of context, fake propaganda, race baiting etc I’m a black American dating a Jewish woman and the racism in which we go through worldwide is of course incompetent, however when you live in a household and someone in your family judges the love of your life because of misinformation, saying Israel is dangerous, racist etc when Israel is top 5 Safest countries in the world, and far less racism in Israel, not to mention there’s racism everywhere in all countries so that’s a garbage statement, my question is is there any advice ? Did you go through similar things dating and marrying a Jewish woman if so, how did you handle the situation? Thank you
