Erev Shabbat PARTY! 🎊 | How We Welcome and Celebrate Sabbath as Torah Observant Christians
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лют 2019
- Hi, everyone! Raquel here to share how my family welcomes the Sabbath as Torah pursuant Christians. We like to celebrate the Sabbath with an Erev Shabbat Party (evening of the Sabbath party)! This tradition is ONE of the ways we set the Sabbath apart from all other days.
You'll notice that we borrow from the traditional Jewish Erev Shabbat elements; however, we have also made our own version for our own family tradition. In this video, I won't be explaining anything, just giving you a little taste of our Erev Shabbat tradition.

SUBSCRIBERS TAKE NOTE:
* Usually, I post at 7am PST on Sundays and Wednesdays; however, I don't have a good data connection in the remote terrain of north Idaho where my home sits. During this postpartum period, I am not going into town like I usually would, and so I have to wait several hours (and days!) for one video to upload. Videos will still publish on Sundays and Wednesdays, but they may be later than 7am PST until I resume my normal trips into town. Also- sometimes I am notified of comments, but I can't respond to them until my phone picks up a better connection. I have THOROUGHLY enjoyed talking with all of you, though, and I'm sorry when there's a delay in my response. Thank you for your understanding! You guys are the best!!*
Blessings,

BEAUTIFUL!!! :) God bless you and your sweet family! :) As a newer Christian (15 years) I've never, ever seen anyone keep the Sabbath like this...and I LOVE IT!! :) Why don't more Christians do this?!? :) I'm going to start this lovely tradition with my son and our extended family! :) THANK YOU so much for sharing! :) Just subscribed. xoxo
Thank you for watching and commenting!! Our family loves welcome the Sabbath with festivities! If you choose to do something similar, I pray your family is blessed by it also!! Happy Sabbath! 😃
A darling Sabbath with your family! We did very similar.....but mine are all grown and gone. (each out of state😢). I spend mine alone now, just looking for an online Erev Shabbat family to sing and praise with.❤ Thank you SO MUCH for showing me your beautiful family. May Yah bless even more than what you already have in riches😊
Thank you for sharing. Your family is beautiful and you are truly blessed. As a late in life messianic jew I feel honored to see such a family show the world how wonderful you are. You made my day! :)
I'm inviting you into my home for Erev Shabbat!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Hi Raquel, what a lovely way to welcome Shabbat. I've recently started looking into incorporating more of these traditions into my life. The more I dig into living scripturally, the more I feel called to do this.
Keeping the Sabbath is truly a delight and a blessing, and welcoming it with a little party is so much fun and special!! Let me know if you begin doing something like this and how it goes!! 💕
Ahh...this blessed me so much. I'm so thankful the Father led us to His good ways! It's so sweet to see your little family starting off in His truth. Our youngest is nine with our oldest being 22. We've only been in Torah a few years but I'm so thankful everyone's on board. Our 13 year old daughter is just finishing up our Shabbat dinner now and we are almost ready to eat. This was fun to watch as we prepare for another beautiful Sabbath! Shalom!
Yes!! What a blessing when the whole family loves the Father’s ways!! Shabbat shalom!!
Thank you for sharing! I have lived inbetween 1979/1983 at Nes Ammim, THE only christian kibbuts at Israël. How happy have we celebrated those years THE Erev Shabbath, with 200 persons, 2/3 Th of THE kibbuts.
Thank you Raquel! I have been keeping Sabbath since 2003, but not knowledgeable of how it is kept incorporating Jewish traditions, so I am really appreciating this video and your channel ❤
My kids have loved seeing the baby, they shout baby! every time. This is encouraging me to do something more special each Shabbat evening! I'm going to download your booklet :) Thank you!
Do you have a copy of your Shabbat booklet? I can't find it on your etsy shop.
I’m so sorry- my digital download expired & I don’t have internet at home to check it. I renewed the listing. You should be able to find it now! 😃 Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I hope you have been able to try out the Erev Shabbat party!!
Shabbat Shalom 😄👍
Beautiful. Yah bless you and keep you ❤
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing. May God bless you and your beautiful family.
I love this!! We are fairly new to Torah observance (1 1/2 years) , and watching other families to what we do is such a blessing!
Awesome!! Yes. I realized there were a ton of Torah theology channels, but there was a gap in the T. O. Christian lifestyle channels. A lot of people ask about how to practically live out what we're reading in the Scriptures. So, I'm just sharing how we do that! ☺ I see that you were making videos 2 years ago. Do you plan to get back into it?
@@WomenLivingTorah I do! We had a camera break, and shortly after that was when our entire world was turned upside down with our eyes being opened to Torah. Now that we are getting into a groove, I would love to start making videos again. I've watched several of yours now, and they are very inspiring! I found your video when you linked it in a Torah FB group, so thank you for sharing!!
Oh no! I understand that. Making YT videos is already a time commitment, but it gets much more difficult when life changes. (At least for me. I'm a very routine type person.) I have several of your past videos in my 'watch later' playlist, so I can't wait to check them out!
I am incredibly grateful you found these videos inspiring. YT has been a learning curve, and I just pray and hope that the enthusiasm I have for the Scriptures and the practical ways I live them out come across in the videos and bring God glory. 💕
So beautiful loved this
Stay all blessed
This is very good to see the evening meal celebration.
We have so much fun celebrating the Sabbath! It’s such a blessing!!
Beautiful celebration, thank you for including us in your family's tradition! I did, however, also want to squish that sweet, little baby the whole time! God bless ☺️
Oh I know!!!! Soooo sweetttt!!! 😍
Soo wholesome loved watching this , thank you for sharing 🌷
Shalom
How beautiful!
Thank you!! It’s just our way of celebrating the sabbath. 😊
Very sweet.
Beautiful, Shabbat Shalom
Thank you! Shabbat shalom!!
That was AWESOME!! Thank you for that video!
Thank you for watching!! Blessings!
Oh my goodness we are so sisters in Messiah Our Lord! I thought I was the ONLY one who decorates the table and try and celebrate the Sabbath. Thank you for this upload and I love the books. We put on music and dance and watch superbook with our kids after saying the blessing. The Sabbath really is an amazing gift from Our Father and it took me a while to see that, but I'm so very thankful He has blessed me to see it. 😊🌷🙏🏽❤️
Isn't it so much FUN?! I love that y'all dance!! My kids love Superbook, too! How old are your children? I'm so glad we are connected now, Keri! I am thankful to make a likeminded friend!!
I just saw your edited comment. Yes!! to the understanding of Sabbath as a gift. My husband and I first began keeping Sabbath about 6ish years ago. At first, it was kind of difficult, honestly, because our society is so geared around doing everything on Saturday. But the more we kept Sabbath, the more God opened our eyes to what a gift it is and allowed us to be far more productive the other 6 six days of the week when keeping Sabbath than we had been working 7 days of the week. Haha 😂
@@WomenLivingTorah how amazing my sister! We've been trying to observe Sabbath to the best of our ability for the last 6 months. It was EXTREMELY hard for me because I saw it as a burden and not blessing I must confess. Just striving to have everything prepared in time and the long blessings we said lol, but you are ABSOLUTELY right. Now keeping it is a time to spend with Yahweh intimately as a family and it really pushes me to strive to be more productive during the week because Yahweh has been so good to us and allows us a day to rest. ❤️
Absolutely. I love having the Sabbath EVERY week (now)! And actually, I have read (from a secular source) that *true* rest is achieved in two parts: deep play and relaxation. Relaxation is ceasing from work. Deep play is engaging in an activity that is challenging and absorbing.
God's day of rest has both components! Relaxation- we don't work. Deep play- we absorb ourselves and challenge ourselves with His Word.
So if you are newly keeping Sabbath, are you newly Torah pursuant?
@@WomenLivingTorah so so true! I like what you said about the relaxation and deep play. I noticed once I truly love into The Word, I would REALLY enjoy Sabbath. Which proves (although we already know and believe) God's Word is completely true. He said we would delight and I do now. My kiddos are 4 (Malachi) and 2(Makayla) and by the Grace of God, we are pregnant with our 3rd and due if He allows, in 3 months 🤗🤗 we are SUPER excited ❤️ and I can't believe I have SO much in common with you which blesses my heart. We are new to the Hebrew understanding of the Scriptures (His Law is still valid). It's really been a journey especially because we left a church we fellowshipped with for almost 6 years. But we are trusting Yahweh to lead us you know. That is super cool you and your husband have been Torah pursuant for 6 years. What a blessing. I bet you all have so much to pass on because I LOVED your study on Leah and joy being found in Yeshua and His Word ❤️ thank you for that. I'm so glad we have connected 😊
This was nice!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!! 💕
Precious! Such a good idea.
Thank you! We LOVE it. I'll share more about Shabbat in future videos, but one thing I love about our Erev Shabbat party is all the Scripture. My 3 and 2 year olds have so much Scripture memorized just because we sing it or recite it every week. Psalm 119:11, 'Thy Word have I HID in mine heart that I might not sin against Thee.' ♥ ♥
Thank you for watching!! I'm praying for your family, as you seek to walk according to God's Instruction!
Beautiful Video Raquel!
Thank you!! ♥ I appreciate you watching and commenting!
Shabbat shalom (when I am watching this, it's the sabbath)! I just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for inviting us into your home for Erev Shabbat. ❤
I look forward to watching your videos and learning as much as I can.
Shabbat shalom!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. 😊 I love sharing how our family lives out the faith and Word, and I am encouraged by all those in this community. Thank you for joining us!! 💕
Thank you for sharing!! I’ve been loving all of your videos! -Mari :)
Mari!! We missed you guys yesterday. I hope you're well.
But, thank you!! I am excited about some videos on Purim and Passover coming up soon! I'm hoping to share my enthusiasm for Biblical living more and more through this channel! 😂 haha
Btw our son is named Malachi. How amazing is that 😍
Oh how neat!! Good choice. 😉 haha
So happy to find you! We are working on observing and practicing the sabbath as a family as well! It's been a journey for awhile now, one that we are just stating to get more serious/intentional about.💙
We need more of this
Thanks for watching!! I can’t believe this was already two years ago.... 😯 I do have a Erev Shabbat vlog planned for the summer Sabbath series, but with still settling in from moving, we’re not always home for a Shabbat prep day.... and then our Erev Shabbat party is very lacking. 😂 Things will settle back in time; it’s just the season of life!! 😃
So happy to discover this video! Your challah is just beautiful! What a lovely family you are? 💗 My children also love (and truly demand) a nice table and candles for Shabbat. Yours will have fond childhood memories I am sure!
Thank you! My daughter (3-almost 4) actually braided this challah! I told her where to place the strands, but she did all the marketing herself. She was very proud of herself!
And yes to the memories!! My son Malachi sees me take out our table cloth, and he yells, 'Shabbat!!!' Every. Single. Time. I love it!!!
I love the little books you made! I’ll have to do something similar! :)
Thank you! I'll be sharing how I made them in a future video (after Shavuot/Pentecost), so stay tuned for that! They add such a 'fanciness' to our party, as well as just a practical order of ceremony for our family and Shabbat guests. I am also planning to make a 'small child friendly' booklet, which I'll share, because my son tore his paper booklet up at 1 year old. Haha 😂
Yes. More details of how to. Thank you. I think I will start doing this.
It’s such a special way to welcome the Sabbath. 😊
@@WomenLivingTorah we did our very first last week. Thought about you the whole way. We got into our PJs. Headed to the dinner table. We lite up diy Mason jar candles the kids made. We read the day of creation #7 and commandments #4 from the bible like you did. I put instrumental music, which reminds me that we need to start remember songs. For dinner we ate veggy burger and homemade vegan sushi. It was awesome. We prayed before n after
@@jmarrero1124 That sounds so wonderful!! Thank you for coming back to let me know about it. 😃
Shabbat Shalom such a blessed family by Yahweh Yeshua Ha'maschiach Ruach Ha'kodesh
Thank you!
Shabbat shalom is a big blessing to you and you family
Thank you for watching and commenting!! Yes!! Sabbath is such a blessing!! 😃
Blessings...loved the video. We do some similar love to see more
Thank you, Deborah!! ♥ I will definitely be sharing more about what our Sabbath looks like and how we make it happen after Shavuot/Pentecost!!
The more I make videos and pray about this channel's direction and influence, the more I want it to be a vessel for sharing enthusiasm and practical ideas for Biblical living according to God's Instruction! You'll see a lot more of that in the coming weeks, Lord willing!
Thank you so much for being apart of this channel!!
Beautiful!!! Will you share your books? I’m fairly new to Torah Observance and would very much appreciate being able to make these!!! Please and thank you. Shalom
Hi! Thank you for watching!! 😃 I shared a flip through of these booklets in this video:

Thank you for watching and commenting! I’m so grateful. 😊 I would love to do a series about our Shabbat celebration. Unfortunately, our edit/upload situation is very complicated here in north Idaho. Our songs and blessings are definitely on my list I videos to make! 😃
i want more !
Awesome!! ♥ I have plans for Purim, Passover, and Pentecost videos coming up, so I hope you'll enjoy those! Then, before the Fall holy days arrive, I have plans for more videos all about how we keep Sabbath!
My desire is to spread enthusiasm and practical ideas for Biblical living! ♥ So much I want to share, so little time. 😂
Amazing! 🎉!!!Challah recipe ! And erev shabbat itinerary? Please share
My Erev Shabbat Siddur can be purchased as a digital download from my Etsy shop www.Etsy.com/WomenLivingTorah OR in print amzn.to/3JT9JFJ I also have a flip through video of an older Siddur on the channel, if you wanted to create your own. Just search my name with ‘erev shabbat Siddur flip through.’
For the challah recipe, I adapt this one: jewishfoodhero.com/joans-vegan-challah-recipe/ (I can’t have eggs. My husband can’t have dairy. So vegan it is… and I usually change it to sourdough, whole wheat flour, olive oil, and coconut sugar.)
Shalom!!
❤
Oh my all mighty God, i have never seen such a holly family before. You have to give them their place in your kindom and, fill this family with your blessings. These people are so inspirational. 👪❤️
Thank you for your prayers! You are so kind. God is the One Who makes us holy (kadosh- set apart) when we submit to His Spirit and His Instruction! I am so thankful!!
@@WomenLivingTorah sister may i ask you a question.. Why did god say more often make bread without yeast? What is the issue with yeast.
Hmm, I don't know that God does have a problem with yeast (leaven).
We read that God commands we NOT eat leavened bread on the seven days of the Feast of Unleavened Breads (Leviticus 23:6), which was to remember how the Israelites did not have time to wait for bread to rise when they hurried from Egypt (Exodus 12:39).
BUT- we ARE commanded to have *leavened bread* in our homes on the day of the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost).
Leviticus 23:16-17
Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; *they shall be baked with leaven;* they are the firstfruits unto the Lord.
With sacrifices, we see that sometimes God commands unleavened bread- and sometimes leavened.
The apostle Paul and Jesus/Yeshua used leaven to *metaphorically* describe sin/false doctrine. The disciples were actually confused in Matthew 16 by Yeshua's metaphor and thought maybe something was wrong with leaven, but Yeshua reminded them of how he fed the 5,000 and the 4,000 with leavened bread and the conclusion was:
Matthew 16:12
Then understood they how that he bade them *not beware of the leaven of bread,* but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Yeshua/Jesus has also used leaven in a *positive* metaphor, when He said:
Matthew 13:33
Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
In my opinion, from my understanding of the Scriptures, God does not have an issue with leaven/yeast. I hope these Scriptural references were helpful!!
@@WomenLivingTorah thank you very much for your commitment in explaining. Very helpful.. I'm an ex Buddhist and still studying the bible, some scriptures hard to understand. Recently found out that jesus is the way and i love him so much. Thank you very much once again, God bless you.
Wow!! Welcome to the family of Christ, Janith!! 💕 And you're welcome. I love discussing the Scriptures! His Word is so good, and the Spirit continues to teach me. (I certainly have to seek God for understanding of His Word, too!!)
I will be praying for you that God gives you knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of the Scriptures- especially when you come upon any difficult passages. Just keep walking with the Messiah as He walked and reading the Bible with humility. I'm so happy for you to have put your hope and faith in Yeshua/Jesus! 🎊 🎊
Hello, is there any way you could share with us your shabbat "manual"? Loved what I've seen in the video. Be blessed.
Hey, sister!! 👋 I have a video flip through of my previous version if you want to make your own & use it as inspiration. I also have an updated digital download in my Etsy shop: Etsy.com/shop/WomenLivingTorah, or printed versions can be purchased from Amazon: amzn.to/3ZbW15u
Many blessings!
Is it binding to cook our food on friday to observe the Sabbath according to the commandment.
Where can I get a little shabbot prayer book like yours?❤
Can you share your book?
I have plans to show how I make them, and hopefully, I'll have a website for a free download of what I put inside them for anyone interested. ☺ But I definitely would be glad to share, as soon as I can! (P. S. I live in a rural but high tourist area of north Idaho. My internet hardly works from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Please forgive me for the delays in responses to comments!)
I also would love to have a copy of your little book.
I did a flip through in this video. 😃 😃 Maybe one day soon I will have a free download, or even offer premade ones for sale.

Hi Raquel. I was watching some of your old videos for inspiration and tips. This june will be our year anniversary of celebrating and honoring shabbat. And after a year i still struggle so much with shabbat meals. Mostly trying to keep the food warm, or timing it perfectly out of the oven, or making sure the sauces dont stick will we finish what we have to do before we eat. Its very overwhelming and instead of being joyful and relaxed im stressing to make sure the food is properly heated. Is mostly my concern. We dont do complicated meals. And its still a struggle... the timing of everything. How do you handle that?
Aw, I feel your struggle! Meals have been my most stressful and difficult adjustment, and honestly, I just got it down this year! (And I’m six years in!) and I forgot I was going to make a video about this!
For Erev Shabbat (the evening that begins the Sabbath), I make the same meal almost every week (but I use different spices/veggies from week to week, so it isn’t boring!). Roasted chicken with roasted vegetables, salad, and challah with grape juice. I premake the salad and grape juice (or have my kids do it), and then because I do the same meal every week, I know exactly how long everything will take and when I need to ‘start’ it in order to finish at 6:00ish. I turn off the oven, but keep the chicken/veggies in; we do our erev Shabbat celebration, and then I bring it out of the oven.
If you were to do something like this, I think it’s important to choose a dish that won’t burn, dry out, or become excessively thick while it waits in the oven. I really like having the roasted chicken on a bed of veggies in a roasting pan with a lid (or a Dutch oven with a lid). All the juices and steam keep everything moist and warm without burning it.
Then, for the day of Shabbat, it depends on what your opinion is on cooking food for the day. I personally think it’s fine, but I also don’t want to stress about what to make, etc. So this is what I do:
I prep a frittata for breakfast, and then I cook it the morning of. I premake chicken and rice or dirty rice for lunch, and then reheat it with a lid. I usually do a dessert that doesn’t need reheating also. And then for dinner, I prep a soup and put it in my instant pot insert it in a pot. Shabbat morning, I put the insert into the instant pot or set the pot on my wood stove. Whenever we’re ready for dinner, the soup is ready.
That’s what I do... I hope it can help in some way.... 😊
I talk a little about meal prep in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/lKlzOcC4hhE/v-deo.html
Thank you for your video. I have a lots to learn. Can you do a video of making challah? Or please recommend me a video of making challah. Tried few times to make challah and failed. Thank you 😊
I can write a challah making video on my list, but in the meantime, I’ll try to find one for you.
Here’s the recipe I use (and I just tweak the ingredients, as needed):

Alright, here’s a video making & braiding challah! ua-cam.com/video/KYy6OCdqcEk/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing! Where did you find the materials in your booklets?
Thank you for watching! ☺ I bought the scrapbook paper and glue from Walmart. Ribbon I already had... They're simple, but fun! Stickers are really great to add, too. ☺
@@WomenLivingTorah Thank you for replying! Actually, I meant the song lyrics, prayers, etc! :)
@@BB-nx5dj Oh! Haha... my apologies. I chose the different Scriptures and typed them up. We have a little song book that I've typed up different Scripture songs we know. Periodically, I add to both. ☺
God bless this beautiful family in Yeshua's name.. How I can find the Shabbat prayers?
You can search online for ‘blessings for Shabbat,’ if you’re interested in the traditional Jewish prayers. What I do can be found in my Etsy shop @ www.Etsy.com/shop/WomenLivingTorah I also have a flip through of our Shabbat siddur in the Sabbath playlist. 😃 Many blessings!!
@@WomenLivingTorah Thank you! ❤
Can you share those prayer books? I’d really like to start honoring the Sabbath and doing Shabbat dinners but I only know one prayer and have no prayer books
I shared my siddur booklets in the video linked in this comment. These are not necessarily ‘traditional,’ though there are some traditional elements included. I hope this flip through of my booklets can be useful to you in creating yours! Blessings!! 😃

Raquel H- Women Living Torah thank you!
Raquel H- Women Living Torah are you kosher? Do your have a video on your families diet?
We eat Biblically clean meats, but we are not necessarily ‘kosher.’ For example, we eat meat and milk together. Also, some products made with unclean animals have been determined ‘kosher’ because they’ve gone through chemical processes, but we do not consider them to be Biblically clean. I haven’t made a video about that.... 😊
Raquel H- Women Living Torah new video 🙂
:)
Isn't the most high against traditions.
Thanks for the question! My understanding is that He is against traditions that take precedence over or that contradict His Instructions. Forsaking His commands for tradition is the issue, not the traditions necessarily (unless they contradict). 😊 Blessings!
