We are Christians and my youngest daughter has gone to work as a live in nanny for a Jewish family. Your videos have really helped with joining in with the family. Thank you x
Though I am Ashkenaz, I absolutely _love_ so many of the Sephardic customs and traditions. While both of our traditions are special, it’s just amazing to learn about what makes us all unique. Judaism is definitely _not_ a monolith but is a tapestry of amazing people with varied backgrounds and traditions. 😊 Sara, I truly thank you for helping to share the beauty of Judaism with the world! Everything you do is bringing light into the world and showing them the beauty of HaShem and Judaism!!!! It is my fervent hope that your efforts will help people discover that Jews aren’t the ‘evil’ of the world, and thereby reduce antisemitism. The world is becoming increasingly antisemitic, which frightens me for my son, and it is my fervent hope that through exposure to Jews through social media (because of wonderful, brave creators like you) that antisemitism will be reduced after people can see we’re people just like them! 😊 TYSM for your creations on UA-cam!
I think children who are raised with this much faith, teaching, and family unity, must have a blessed life, unlike many who are not raised knowing G-d.
Your videos are always so calming, and as a non Jew I am always intrigued and fascinated by how lovingly and respectful you speak about your religion and everything connected to it. Thank you :)
I absolutely love learning about Jewish traditions. As a Christian, I feel a kinship towards God’s chosen people. I am so hungry to learn all that I can about your history and how intimately the Bible (Torah) and God’s teachings are woven into your everyday life. I feel as a Christian, we could do so much more to live “biblically”. Thank you for sharing your life with us and teaching all of us more about our Almighty Father!
I am a Christian but love learning about the Jewish faith. It just seems so comforting and such a warm faith to all. I must admit I’ve fallen down a proverbial rabbit hole and would love to learn even more. Thankyou for sharing!
I’m Jewish and know all the info in your videos(except for a few Ashkenazi/Sephardi differences) but your videos are so wonderful and comforting. I use your videos to help educate my non Jewish friends about Judaism. שנה טובה
Sara Malka, I would like to thank you. You have become an influence to me. I am attempting to be more modest, more religious, and just a better me. And I owe HaShem and you a deep debt. Todah Rabbah! L'Shanah Tovah!!!
I had tears in my eyes as your husband blew the shofar…. As a Christian, I so appreciate our Jewish roots. La Shana Tova, may your New Year be sweet and blessed.
Lots of wonderful guest appearances in this video! A huge thank you to you, your kiddos, and hubby for being so willing to step on camera and share your customs with us! Edit: Also, you have a great eye for camera angles! The visuals in your videos are always so steady and interesting to look at. I'm glad your talents are being put to use here on UA-cam!
Thank you so so much❤️ And thank you so so much too for your kind words about my editing ; it means the world to me as I knew nothing about editing when I started UA-cam so for you to notice and appreciate my editing is like a hot fudge on a sundae : delicious !!! Really thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing all of the customs and their meanings. I’m a Serbian Orthodox Christian, and we too, have a rich history of customs. Truthfully, my life would be so plain and less meaningful without it. I hope you and your family had a beautiful and blessed holiday.
Shalom! I'm also a Sefardic Jew, but I'm not Orthodox. It was very educational and interesting to know your family's personal traditions. שנה טובה ימתוקה
I absolutely love all your traditions. I'm Catholic but have a Jewish sister in law who hasn't been well for the past few years, so this year I plan to take over her duties including using your challah recipe. Thank you so much for this peek into your traditions. It's all so beautiful and your daughter is a treasure.

Lovely! Tears of love and gratitude and joy from listening and learning to this wonderful woman of God! May our Lord bless and refresh all on this channel! Happy 5785!! 🙏🏼❤️🇮🇱
I adored every minute of this video it's super informative and helps non jewish people better understand if still relate to Jewish coworkers and friends.❤ The food energetics scared me a bit in regards to the enemies but otherwise i do appreciate that you shared your wonderful customs and traditions. 💗
I am a catholic with spiritual interests in Jewish life, having been brought up in a Jewish neighborhood at one point and working with Jewish friends...I have always enjoyed both sets of holidays and incorporate them into my daughter's life to share with her friends, thus multi culture becomes easier for you to share and not judge...your youtube thoughts could not have come at a better time as my daughter and I just sat down to have her son put together Friday's menu...thank you for showing me some more ideas...each time I watch I think of my grandmother who worked with Jewish friends and how specifically she cooked and always brought to her table foods and the settings a special way...she never explained why until I was engaged and inherited their gifts from these friends and then understood her style of cooking and entertaining...thank you again for your content...my one question would be where do you purchase your clothing and head scarves 💚✨️
I LOVE NEW BEGINNINGS. I am a Catholic but have always loved the Jewish religion, I would convert but the rest of my family does not want to. So I have to seek comfort in learning through wonderful families like yourself. I loved how you took the time to explain each step, especially with the foods you eat and their meanings. I feel this is so important to help us understand and appreciate the effort you put into your special occasions. Thank you so much again for making us feel part of your world. Love and blessings from the uk 🇬🇧❤
The flower napkins are beautiful! I am not a religious person at all, but it’s been a wonderful learning experience watching your videos. Personally I don’t think I could remember all the rules, nor adhere by them on the daily, but I respect your way of life immensely. Also, you have a very soothing and beautifully gentle voice; it seems to match your soul. Love from Australia!
I have remembered the Shofar since I was a kid. I used to be a fundamentalist Christian and There was a group that would go to churches and demonstrate Jewish customs. I find that your rituals and community are amazing. Communities also have the Chaverim. What a great concept. I wish I had community like that. You are blessed to be a Doctor and have a beautiful family. I have no idea how you balance all that time. You are amazing.
I love new beginnings, and all I learn in your videos! Not only do I constantly learn about Jewish customs, beliefs, and traditions (I’m a Christian, but am enthralled by all you teach us), I also learn tons of helpful cooking and household tips! 😁 I’ve saved MANY of your videos for cooking/meal prep/housekeeping tips/tricks! Thank you for sharing your joy and faith with us! ❤ *PS, I always love your daughter’s tablescapes! What an artistic talent she has! 😊
Shanah Tovah dearest Sarah and family and the entire Jewish community, hope you have a wonderful new year. I love new beginnings, you’re a beautiful blessing for us , love you xoxo ❤
awww thank you so so much Sweet FAtima. I am grateful to G.od he. is helping you grow a fantastic community here on YOUTUbe, may you have much more success and may you grow 100000 folds this year! xoxoxox
I am so thankful to you for this beautiful experience sharing God’s love. I’m learning from a Rabbi about how both the Old and New Testament coexist and now as a non Jewish person understand my faith in a way I never had before. I bless you both and send love to all. ❤
Bonjour Sarah Malka, merci pour cette belle vidéo! En tant que musulmane, c'est toujours un plaisir de te voir et t'écouter ❤ et de voir à quel point nous sommes similaires! En dialecte marocain nous disons aussi Rass assana pour la nouvelle année et cela signifie aussi "la tête de l'année" ❤ Shana Tova
Thank you. It was such a trip in time. The horn… it’s like being taken back thousands of yours. Your culture is ancient. I’d say one of the oldest surviving. Wow, I’m very impressed. You must be doing something right. :)
My son says, “I love this show. I like the white dress. I especially like the bug show.” He loves your channel so much, and he finds your videos so relaxing. Thank you for sharing your traditions with us, and we hope you have a wonderful new year! ❤
I love the white dresses and head coverings! It’s modest and fashionable. The flower napkins your daughter makes add such a pretty touch to your table decor! I love new beginning’s.
Leah did a wonderful job with the tablescape! I love it when you said those placemats and chargers were from the Dollar Store, it shows what you can do with an eye for beauty. Give your daughter a hug for me!
I can’t quite put it into words, Sarah, but this video of your faith traditions touched me deeply! How incredibly blessed you are to have these rituals and perform them in such a loving a reverent way. I love news beginnings, and this can be a new beginning for all of us, as we work towards a stronger, more intimate relationship with God! Thank you for this beautiful video! ♥️
Awwww 🥹🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much : your words touched my soul and made my heart burst with happiness: thank you May G.od pave your way with success and closeness to Him
My husband and I are Christians but now are starting to observe Shabbat and the Jewish holidays. May I please ask you how do we prepare the fish heads?
Lea did such beautiful work on the table! (Leah? Léa? Leia? Sorry, I’m sure I’ve spelled it wrong 😅) The flower napkins are a lovely, memorable detail and show how much care and thought she put into making the setting special for her family 😊
This was a really beautiful video. For Rosh Hashanah this year, I’m studying a sefer about the holiday itself and I’m really learning a lot. It’s called Rosh Hashanah: Its Significance, Laws and Prayers and it’s got a lot about how different Jewish communities around the globe celebrate Rosh Hashanah. I’ve always been of the opinion that diversity within the Jewish community is absolutely something to be celebrated, so when I saw that it made me a happy Jew. I’d love to see you do a bookshelf tour video sometime
I love new beginnings, and I especially love how your videos are always so fresh and.lovely...they lift my spirits....I marvel at the.warmth of your personality and how loving you are to strangers. You are a lovely example to follow. A blessed and sweet Rosh Hashanah to you and yours!
Another lovely video. I'm not Jewish, but I love learning. To be honest, when I heard the sounds your husband made, it made me cry. I was not expecting that. Very touching to know why it is done. ❤
Hello dear.. my name is Christina I'm from Egypt .. you are a super kind person and your sweet girl did amazing with the table.. God bless u all .. sending a hug from Egypt to u ❤❤
My favorite preparations you do before Rosh Hashana is the blowing of the shofars because the sound demands all our attention on G-d and I really like that. ❤ from Maryland 🇺🇸.
I really like the folded napkins your daughter created. Moreover the bed linens were brilliantly white. Most of all your exquisite white dresses were stunningly beautiful.❤
I love new beginnings! Please tell your daughter she did an outstanding job setting the beautiful table and that I Love her flower design napkins! I hope that you and your family will have a fruitful and happy new year. Sending love from Memphis~
What I found the most interesting, from a Christian perspective, is the way in which Shabbat and Rosh Hashanah overlap. On the Christian calendar, when holidays overlap with Sunday, then technically one or the other just gets superseded. But that works in part because there's less difference between celebrations like Christmas and regular Sunday observances, so you aren't missing as much (and I'm sure that a lot of Christians aren't aware that there is a substitution, they just assume they're combined.)
I love New Beginnings 🤍 How could I possibly pick a favorite part? 🤍I will say the sound and meaning behind the blowing of the shofar left me with tears. 🤍Also, your beautiful white dresses to sit at the King's table made me misty as well. 🤍Lea's beautiful table scape and folding of the napkins was lovely. So much talent in her hands and eyes. Thank you for bringing the beauty and richness of this holiday to us 🕊️🤍
Your daughter did a great job with the table. Learned many things. Not Jewish, but a spiritual Jew. I could listen to you all day. You are so calm. Thank you for sharing your spiritual journey. God Bless.
Joyous and blessed Rosh Hashanah to you and your family! Liturgical Christians will celebrate our new year in November with the First Sunday of Advent to begin lighting the blue candles in the Advent Wreath, one for each week, and a white candle in the center on Christmas Eve. In my family traditions we also have lights on the house to symbolize the light of the Messiah, with a special blue string around the door that we change to multicolored at midnight Christmas Eve. The liturgy used in churches changes and we enjoy a ton of beautiful Advent hymns, as well as Psalms, and other Scripture. The food, the decorations, the crafts, I love it all. I love new beginnings!
Your videos are like a trip to the spa for me! I loved watching Leah prepare the table, and especially the flower napkin. Wow! I’ve never heard the Shofar combination! I agree, it’s very spiritual; such an incredible connection to our ancestors. I just love learning about all the traditions! Wishing you and your family a most blessed Rosh Hosannah!
Since you light a lamp or candle for each family member, is it SO exciting to buy and start lighting another when you have a baby? It sounds so special
I love new beginnings! Your daughter set the table beautifully. Thank you for sharing not only the “what” but the “why” in your videos. I always look forward to your videos because of your calm demeanor and I know I will learn something new. ❤
I know that this is totally inconsequential, but you’re family is so beautiful! I don’t think we’ve seen your husband so clearly before and all I can say is that between the two of you, it’s no wonder your children are so gorgeous!
Irish Catholic Me: as usual I’ve learned, appreciated, drew connections to your terrific post. The customs, brightness of whiteness, celebratory nature, your beautiful home and family - also saying a wee prayer for your neighbors with the majestic albeit loud ram’s horn being blown 100 times (hoping they’re Jewish too!), and the traditional food was fascinating, although you lost me on the fish heads :)
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EXPLANATION.. VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.. AND MAY GOD OF ABRAHAM ISAAC AND JACOB HELP AND HEAL EVERYONE AND BRING PEACE TO ISRAEL AND THE WHOLE WORLD. AMEN SHALOM ALELUYA ❤❤❤
The sound of the Shofar... made my skin tingle and my soul felt a thrill... as if it were a sound that has passed down through the millennia, calling not only to Jews but to all people. 💜
I love new beginnings! So educational! I only have one critique! Your videos aren’t long enough! I could watch your videos all day! Which I’ve done a few times! 😁❤️👍🌹🌹🌹🌹. I love listening to your videos as I work on my pricing of items that I sell in my Antique store booth! 😁❤️
Happy Rosh HaShanna. May your next year be great. What resonated with me: Eating a pomegrenade to pray to have as many merits as it has seeds. That does make sense to me.
I just wanted to share that I had a wonderful conversation with my 8 years old son. We were having our pizza Friday, and one of our sons choose a grape juice. During the meal my older son has started telling me a story about the kiddush and Sabbath and grape juice! ...I had my eyes wide open in disbelief. He was learning about Judaism at school! We had a wonderful conversation, I told him a bit more about Jewish traditions (which I've learnt from your channel ❤). We also learnt that the word synagogue comes from an ancient Greek word, and that's when we discussed our visits to some of Jewish historic sites in Poland and Greece. I am now wondering what group of Jews were/are prominent in Greece? Would that be Sephardic? Have a wonderful week my dear internet friend!
Tes filles sont de vraies artistes ! C'est toujours passionnant de regarder tes videos ❤ Un grand merci aux participants de ce video. Shanah Tovah to you , to all your family and everybody on this page ! ❤🙏
This is so interesting as someone who knows very little about your culture, it's wonderful how you still keep such ancient traditions alive and the meanings are so beautiful, thank you for sharing with us.
Wishing you and your family a G'mar Chatima Tova,Shana Tova umetuka,may you and your family merit to blessed with a year ahead filled with good health,parnassa,brachot,Simcha and all good things
I love new beginnings..........the table settings & the sounds of the Shofar are beautiful; thanks to your daughter & husband for sharing their talents.
I am so grateful that you are sharing this Rosh Hashanah celebration with us I am a Christian and my brother sent us a video of him blowing the 2 different shofar! So much we can learn of the Jewish prayer life and daily living. I am also visiting Israel next month. So excited just watching this video.
Growing up in an Ashkenazi family I love to see our similarities and differences and our mutual love for family and G-d! Have a blessed new year! May it be sweet and plentiful! BH!
Sara you are an inspiration to all your viewers. Our Lord works through you to glorify Himself by showing us the joy in our covenant with Him. Your videos have helped me - as a working mother it is easy to become complacent about the things in our life that overwhelm us. Remembering that this work is for a joyful purpose helps renew my love for my vocation. God bless you and your family - enjoy your High Holy Days and have a blessed new year!
WOW I'm blown away by so many rituals and intrigued at the same time. My ancestors complained about keeping ten little commandments of which they didn't keep!!! So, we the descendants had to pay their debts, but it will get better. I enjoyed watching!!!😊
You know I realize what Judaism does is constantly celebrate life and creates meaning and purpose to daily life. You are consciously practicing your beliefs daily in order to remain compliant. I appreciate that so much!
She did well with the flower napkin.
thank you so so much!
Yes. She is incredibly talented!!! 🥰

I’d love to see you do a bookshelf tour video sometime
I love new beginnings, and I especially love how your videos are always so fresh and.lovely...they lift my spirits....I marvel at the.warmth of your personality and how loving you are to strangers. You are a lovely example to follow. A blessed and sweet Rosh Hashanah to you and yours!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful & deeply meaningful holiday.
Another lovely video. I'm not Jewish, but I love learning. To be honest, when I heard the sounds your husband made, it made me cry. I was not expecting that. Very touching to know why it is done. ❤
The blowing of Shofar! You are such a blessing to me, Sara! G-d be with you and bless and keep you and your family!
Thank you so much! you are a blessing to me too sweet Elaine :) xoxoxox
I am Ashkenazi however, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing and hearing your explanations for the customs from the Sephardim.
Awesome, thank you!
I love new beginnings
That was lovely. L'shana Tovah!
Shabbat Shalom & Lashana Tovah! 🕊️🕎
Leah has set a most beautiful table! God bless.
The blowing of the Shofar was incredible ! 🌟 🌟🌟🌟
Hello dear.. my name is Christina I'm from Egypt .. you are a super kind person and your sweet girl did amazing with the table.. God bless u all .. sending a hug from Egypt to u ❤❤
My favorite preparations you do before Rosh Hashana is the blowing of the shofars because the sound demands all our attention on G-d and I really like that. ❤ from Maryland 🇺🇸.
I really like the folded napkins your daughter created. Moreover the bed linens were brilliantly white. Most of all your exquisite white dresses were stunningly beautiful.❤
Thank you so so much Cynthia: I will let the girls know ❤️
I love new beginnings! Please tell your daughter she did an outstanding job setting the beautiful table and that I Love her flower design napkins! I hope that you and your family will have a fruitful and happy new year. Sending love from Memphis~
What I found the most interesting, from a Christian perspective, is the way in which Shabbat and Rosh Hashanah overlap. On the Christian calendar, when holidays overlap with Sunday, then technically one or the other just gets superseded. But that works in part because there's less difference between celebrations like Christmas and regular Sunday observances, so you aren't missing as much (and I'm sure that a lot of Christians aren't aware that there is a substitution, they just assume they're combined.)

Beautiful Mother 🙏🏻
I love New Beginnings 🤍
How could I possibly pick a favorite part?
🤍I will say the sound and meaning behind the blowing of the shofar left me with tears.
🤍Also, your beautiful white dresses to sit at the King's table made me misty as well.
🤍Lea's beautiful table scape and folding of the napkins was lovely. So much talent in her hands and eyes.
Thank you for bringing the beauty and richness of this holiday to us 🕊️🤍
awwwww: your comment brought me to tears: thank you for your kindness, thank you for being here : your words really moved me xoxoxo
🤍
Your daughter did a great job with the table. Learned many things. Not Jewish, but a spiritual Jew. I could listen to you all day. You are so calm. Thank you for sharing your spiritual journey. God Bless.
Absolutely magnificent! So meaningful, I am catholic but am incredibly moved by the symbolism ❤ your daughter should be proud of her table setting👏🏻
Joyous and blessed Rosh Hashanah to you and your family! Liturgical Christians will celebrate our new year in November with the First Sunday of Advent to begin lighting the blue candles in the Advent Wreath, one for each week, and a white candle in the center on Christmas Eve. In my family traditions we also have lights on the house to symbolize the light of the Messiah, with a special blue string around the door that we change to multicolored at midnight Christmas Eve. The liturgy used in churches changes and we enjoy a ton of beautiful Advent hymns, as well as Psalms, and other Scripture. The food, the decorations, the crafts, I love it all. I love new beginnings!
I love new beginnings!
Many thanks for all your work enliggtening us! 💖💕🇨🇦
A very large BEAUTIFUL FLOWER UNDER THE CUP.
Your videos are like a trip to the spa for me! I loved watching Leah prepare the table, and especially the flower napkin. Wow! I’ve never heard the Shofar combination! I agree, it’s very spiritual; such an incredible connection to our ancestors. I just love learning about all the traditions! Wishing you and your family a most blessed Rosh Hosannah!
Since you light a lamp or candle for each family member, is it SO exciting to buy and start lighting another when you have a baby? It sounds so special
I love new beginnings! Your daughter set the table beautifully. Thank you for sharing not only the “what” but the “why” in your videos. I always look forward to your videos because of your calm demeanor and I know I will learn something new. ❤
I know that this is totally inconsequential, but you’re family is so beautiful! I don’t think we’ve seen your husband so clearly before and all I can say is that between the two of you, it’s no wonder your children are so gorgeous!
Irish Catholic Me: as usual I’ve learned, appreciated, drew connections to your terrific post. The customs, brightness of whiteness, celebratory nature, your beautiful home and family - also saying a wee prayer for your neighbors with the majestic albeit loud ram’s horn being blown 100 times (hoping they’re Jewish too!), and the traditional food was fascinating, although you lost me on the fish heads :)
I hear you the fish head is not the easiest part !!
Everything has a meaning and a purpose it also has order...
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EXPLANATION.. VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.. AND MAY GOD OF ABRAHAM ISAAC AND JACOB HELP AND HEAL EVERYONE AND BRING PEACE TO ISRAEL AND THE WHOLE WORLD. AMEN SHALOM ALELUYA ❤❤❤
The sound of the Shofar... made my skin tingle and my soul felt a thrill... as if it were a sound that has passed down through the millennia, calling not only to Jews but to all people. 💜
I love new beginnings! So educational! I only have one critique! Your videos aren’t long enough! I could watch your videos all day! Which I’ve done a few times! 😁❤️👍🌹🌹🌹🌹. I love listening to your videos as I work on my pricing of items that I sell in my Antique store booth! 😁❤️
Happy Rosh HaShanna. May your next year be great.
What resonated with me:
Eating a pomegrenade to pray to have as many merits as it has seeds. That does make sense to me.
Bravo 👏 Excellent presentation ❤❤
@@AzuraTarazi thank youuuuuu❤️❤️❤️
I just wanted to share that I had a wonderful conversation with my 8 years old son.
We were having our pizza Friday, and one of our sons choose a grape juice. During the meal my older son has started telling me a story about the kiddush and Sabbath and grape juice! ...I had my eyes wide open in disbelief. He was learning about Judaism at school! We had a wonderful conversation, I told him a bit more about Jewish traditions (which I've learnt from your channel ❤). We also learnt that the word synagogue comes from an ancient Greek word, and that's when we discussed our visits to some of Jewish historic sites in Poland and Greece. I am now wondering what group of Jews were/are prominent in Greece? Would that be Sephardic?
Have a wonderful week my dear internet friend!
How lovely!
Shana tova !
PS Greek Jews were Sephardic mostly
I love new beginnings . . . and I love learning about customs that are new to me, and all the reasons for them. Thank you for sharing this! ❤
I'm so glad!
Tes filles sont de vraies artistes ! C'est toujours passionnant de regarder tes videos ❤ Un grand merci aux participants de ce video. Shanah Tovah to you , to all your family and everybody on this page ! ❤🙏
This is so interesting as someone who knows very little about your culture, it's wonderful how you still keep such ancient traditions alive and the meanings are so beautiful, thank you for sharing with us.
Wishing you and your family a G'mar Chatima Tova,Shana Tova umetuka,may you and your family merit to blessed with a year ahead filled with good health,parnassa,brachot,Simcha and all good things
amen amen amen and to you as well, shana tova u'metuka and G.mach chatima tova to you and your family
I wish I had those polishing gloves back when I was a child.
I love new beginnings..........the table settings & the sounds of the Shofar are beautiful; thanks to your daughter & husband for sharing their talents.
I am so grateful that you are sharing this Rosh Hashanah celebration with us I am a Christian and my brother sent us a video of him blowing the 2 different shofar! So much we can learn of the Jewish prayer life and daily living. I am also visiting Israel next month. So excited just watching this video.
I love new beginnings! Wonderful video again, Sara.. Thank you for sharing how you celebrate Rosh Hashanah with us. Much love 💕
Thank you sooo much! xoxoxo
Growing up in an Ashkenazi family I love to see our similarities and differences and our mutual love for family and G-d! Have a blessed new year! May it be sweet and plentiful! BH!
Sara you are an inspiration to all your viewers. Our Lord works through you to glorify Himself by showing us the joy in our covenant with Him. Your videos have helped me - as a working mother it is easy to become complacent about the things in our life that overwhelm us. Remembering that this work is for a joyful purpose helps renew my love for my vocation. God bless you and your family - enjoy your High Holy Days and have a blessed new year!
WOW I'm blown away by so many rituals and intrigued at the same time.
My ancestors complained about keeping ten little commandments of which they didn't keep!!! So, we the descendants had to pay their debts, but it will get better. I enjoyed watching!!!😊
What a beautiful table, she did a great job. I hope you all have a blessed, healthy, and successful year.
Of course Leah’s napkins are always beautiful. Wonderful place settings.
The ram sounds also very moving please say “Thank you “ to your husband.
Shalom Sarah
Feliz Rosh Hashaná
Obrigada por compartilhar esse lindo vídeo 👏🏻🤩😊
Thank you for sharing your life and home with me. I've been really struggling lately and your message of love has brought a bright spot to my life.
