    What a sweet story! Your future husband knew a good thing when he saw one, lol! My future husband did the same thing - he asked me to marry him on the first date, too. We've been married for 38 years this coming Friday.

    You are the only other person who converted for the exact same reasons as I converted. I wanted to convert as a child and my father told me if, as a young adult I wanted to convert, he’d help me anyway he could, my dad died when I was 17 but I still wanted to convert so I did it alone. Of course my rabbi turned me away twice but he knew I meant it. I’m still Jewish even though my husband is catholic. It’s in my soul…I cannot change my soul. Thank you for your videos because I truly cherish them. I’ve just begun to go through them and I’m a bit teary-eyed because I do cherish them. Never lose sight of your bliss...

    Chana, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago because it popped up on UA-cam. So glad it did. Boruch Hashem!! I have been frum all of my life although I did grow up modern orthodox and in my teens I decided to become more frum so I definitely went on my own journey and today we live in Lakewood, NJ. I have really been enjoying your videos. I was watching this video while eating breakfast this morning and I thought it was fantastic!! Couldn’t believe that your husband proposed on your first date!!! That’s amazing!!! I met my husband the traditional way with a shadchan. No cool story there but the work that my husband and I have put into our marriage over 21 years and the growth that we’ve experienced is certainly cool- Boruch Hashem!!! Anyway thanks for your videos and sharing your life with us.

    You are so open and honest and I am really glad that I just found your channel. I am slowly going thru your videos and I wanted to comment on the kitchen tour video where you talked about the fruit flies. (I already made a comment on the video so I didn't want to double post ) :)
    For our house we put apple cider vinegar in a small dish about halfway full. I cover it with plastic wrap very tightly and use a toothpick to poke maybe 10 holes all around. The fruit flies get attracted by the scent and crawl in thru the holes but can't get back out. If you don't want to use that method another one I saw was to wash all fruit that will be sitting out as soon as you get home from the grocery store. They explained that any fruits or veggies that we bring home have some amount of bugs so either wash right away or store in the refrigerator. Also to freeze any flours that as soon as you bring them into the house to kill any bugs. Yuk, enough talk about bugs ! Love your channel and now I am going back to the video :)

    • @jaroffireflies
      @jaroffireflies  3 роки тому

Getting married and having your first date is unusual.lol But it has worked for you, both of you seem very happy. BTW, my husband and I just completed our conversion to Catholicism. We are so happy about it but most of our friends and family are just puzzled. Loved the camping pictures...you are a great mama to take on camping with little ones.

      @Penelope New This is how my priest is! 🥰 He knew me and my now boyfriend liked each other before we were dating. He actually told us that we would make a beautiful couple and he’d love to see us get together one day. We had been considering dating, and the fact that our priest thought it was a good idea made us feel sure about it. It’s so great to have someone to guide you that loves and cares about you both but isn’t so invested in your lives that they can’t see your faults clearly.

    I am so happy to find this video because I was wondering how you and your husband met, so glad I found your channel and even though I’m not Jewish, I love the idea of the Sabbath and I was telling my husband that we should just practice 24 hours off the grid. 😊

      @@jaroffireflies You are so easy to listen to and I have always been so interested in the Jewish traditions (due to Orthodox neighbors) and I know that there are 613 rules in the Torah to follow and I am a Christmas & Easter Catholic; I think your religion is beautiful but I’m in my mid 60s and I don’t even go to church, so I will get my Jewish traditions from you, but we will do our 24 hour Sabbath because when you were telling the story about your early interest in conversion and that lady asked you to send her an email but she would not open it because of the Sabbath and you mentioned how refreshing that was, I understand because it’s a full-time & stressful job when I go through my emails so we’re definitely going to do 24 hours of no devices, but television, is not included because we cannot go through full withdrawal 😄
      Have a wonderful day

      @@jaroffireflies One more question, I know some orthodox Jews do not cut their baby boys hair until they are three years old and I don’t know the tradition behind it but wondering if you follow that too?
      I know my son was born with a full head of hair and I had to trim his bangs when he was five months old so jst wondering 🤷🏻‍♀️
