My grandchildren attend a school on the grounds of a Jewish synagogue even though we aren't Jewish. The security there is visible, but they do all they can to protect the children from knowing more than they need to know about why they are there. I've been praying for all the innocent children affected by this war.

A woman of deep faith in God,a doctor,speaks seven languages and finds time to cook a feast for her family! She is salt and light in this world!

having been raised totally secular, I never got religious guidance from my parents or have lovely traditions that were passed to me. watching your videos makes me feel like I have an aunt or big sister showing me her daily life step-by-step. when you call your subscribers the “frum it up family” it makes me smile feeling included in such a group. sending love from NDG

This lovely video got me through a very tough weekend. Know that you are spreading light in this very broken world. Peace. ❤

I am not a religious person. But I must say, I LOVE your channel. Your voice is so soothing. Your meal prep is easy to understand and follow. Last but not least, you are a very pleasant individual and you calm me. Thank you. And also, the knowledge I’ve been given about your religion is wonderful. Thank you. Bless you and your family 🇨🇦. Much love from Ontario

You lit the candle. Yes, let there be light...for you, your family, for those who experience antisemitism, discrimination in their lives, for thosel who live in warzones. Yes there is always light, G.oD, somewhere...everywhere, even in the darkness!! Thank you for your video!🌻

Hello! I am not Jewish but I love your videos. You are so chill and relaxed that it makes me calm to hear you. I bet you have a lovely bedside manner and it makes you an awesome doctor. It is so sad to hear of that your young children must be impacted by the war. I hope you all stay safe. I wish you and yours all the peace and joy that you can have. God Bless

My world would not be the same without you either. A few months ago I was going through a hard time and hearing you say that I was loved help get me through. This weekend I made Challah with you for the first time ever. In the video you went step by step and shared what to thank God for with every ingredient. I did it right along with you, including the prayer when removing a piece. I took the bread to church this morning (my husband is a Baptist Pastor) for a church dinner. I explained to everyone what all challah means and the prayers. Everyone loved it. Thank you, for without you, I wouldn’t have been able to make it. I am a Christian, but I totally respect you and my Jewish brothers and sisters. For I believe we are all brothers and sisters. I have been blessed to be able to visit Israel, the Holy Land. I long for the day I can go back. God has given me a great love for the Jewish race and I love to learn about your culture and customs. I have been and will to continue to pray for Israel and God’s chosen people. Love, prayers, and respect, Kelli in WV

My sister and my nephew & nieces live in Israel. It's a very worrying time for all. We are hoping that a peaceful resolution will soon come. Bless you and your family Sara, and thankyou for spending time with us x

I am a Christian living in Europe and there was not a day since the attacks started that I would have not prayed and thought of you and your family. Your beautiful personality always make my day and your videos touch my heart and help me to understand Jewish culture and a lot of things I learnt and still learning from the OT. I pray God always keep you and your loved ones in His protection. Much love from my family to yours.

It gives me great comfort to watch you. I am a widow and miss my dearest husband of 30 years. Know I am with you and Israel. God bless.

I am so sorry to hear your family is facing war. I am Ukranian, this happened to my family not too long ago and it was so heartbreaking, I couldn’t get my work done for two weeks. Thankfully my family is safe and I hope your family remains to be safe.

I love to spend time with you. Thank you for welcoming us into your home, and for spreading joy and kindness ❤

I am not Jewish but I love your videos! I hope you and your family are doing ok, it must be very hard. Much love to you 🫶

I love to spend some time with you! I have been a subscriber to your channel for over a year. I’ve enjoyed watching how you take care of your family as well as taking care of your patients. What an amazing woman you are! Your commitment to being the Psalms 31 woman is so inspiring and has been such a blessing to me. Thank you for sharing your culture and your traditions. I’m a Christian who has a deep love and respect for the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for through you all the world is blessed. May God bless you and your family, and comfort you in these difficult times. Shalom, shalom. ❤

Many times your weekly "I love you" is the only time I hear that sentiment. It means everything to me as I feel the genuineness of those words in your voice and the warmth of your company. Please know I love you and your family very much. Be safe. 🥰

My biological grandmother converted to judaism at a young age, and your videos are such a comfort and connection to her. Thank you. I pray for the continued blessing and safety of your family here and in Israel.

Hello! My favorite mocktail: Sugar-free cranberry juice and ginger ale (50/50) with a squeeze of orange juice. Add ice and voila! I enjoy your channel. I am Christian and am grateful to learn more about your way of life and 'home truths' which can be considered by anyone of any faith. Being kind and mindful is the basis of being a good person. Saying prayers to end the tragedy ongoing.

Dear Sarah, Im a Sabbath Keeper who keeps the holy days and just love your channel. Thank you for all you do - your videos are so informative and relaxing. I too am a healthcare professional and really respect the many talents the good Lord has given you. Praying for Peace in Israel, for comfort, healing and protection for all., including your family and friends. Stay safe and well. Blessing on you and your family. Oh, long ago i put ‘Frum it up’ on my desk at work. It’s been a great conversation starter when people ask about it, and it is a great reminder at times i need a quick prayer and I remind myself to ‘Frum it up!’ xxx

I feel at peace just listening to your voice. Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful moments. 🩷 I’m praying for safety of Jewish people all over the world.

I am so glad to hear from you and to continue praying for your family and other Jews around the world. Thank you for showing your cozy Shabbat meal. It is the perfect time for cozy.

Hello again from small town Inola OK. I love to spend my time with you. My heart is breaking and my soul is devastated over what is happening to the Jewish and Israeli community, there and here. My prayers are with everyone affected by this, especially the innocent and the children on both sides. We too keep the Sabbath, but watching you makes me want to do it in a much better way. Congratulations on your subscriber increase and video views. Have a amazing and blessed coming week❤

I am writing from Israel, and would like to tell you how much I enjoy your videos; their content; the loving manner in which you speak; and the care you voice for the land of Israel, our traditions and the Jewish people May you and your family be blessed by Hashem, God.

Many thanks for sharing your time and taking us along on your Shabbat preparations! Please know that I will be praying for you and your family every day. I have been horrified for the unprovoked attacks that have led us all to this place in time. I am so sorry the ways this war is effecting you and your family. I truly do enjoy “spending some time with you”. May God’s peace and blessings be upon Israel and all of her people. 💞🙏🏻🕊

I truly love spending time with you. praying for all that are affected by this war anyone who loves God can’t also hate because God is Love

I love spending time with you Sara. Prayers up for your family and everyone affected by the fighting in Israel and Gaza. Whenever I watch one of your Shabbat prep videos I am a little awed at how much food you make and the ease with which you make it.

As always, I feel better after watching your videos. They are inspirational and relaxing. I proudly wear my Magen David necklace while at work at Target. So far, people have been positive. Many blessings to you and your family.

I love to spend some time with you! This was Leah's best table yet! The pumpkin shaped hallah on the festive napkins was super adorable!

While me and my family are not Jewish, we do follow the Torah, including the dietary laws and sure do appreciate your wonderful videos. It's even more special because you're living in Canada, where we are - so we know we are able to get most of the products that you feature in your meal prep. I have no idea how you can ease into Shabbat so calmly and prepping such exquisite culinary delights! I'm dashing around like a chicken with her head cut off to get the simplest meals ready before Erev Shabbat! Praying for safety and shalom for you and your family as well as other Orthodox Jews who are facing yet again, another season of overt antisemitism. Am Yisrael Chai!

Thank you for being one of the most delightful parts of my Sunday❤ I am grateful that you share your life with us! Continued prayers for you, your family and your loved ones!

I pray for you, your family and all Jewish people everywhere. May God keep you safe. I have had 2 wonderful Jewish doctors in my life. One saved my sight as a child , the other saved my life as an adult, thank God! You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I love to spend some time with you Sara ❤️ Your channel has been a comfort to me for the last few years and has helped me get through tough times. Thank you for sharing your beautiful culture to all of us and for being a calm, soothing presence. Sending love and thinking of you and your family during this times ❤️❤️

Hi Sara. Like I mentioned before in my past comments,that I was born and raised Roman Catholic and also Italian. I love watching your videos along with Sonya’s prep. I love each and every meal you cook. let me tell you I have made your Moroccan fish recipe.it’s delicious and my family loves them. I will be adding this recipe for Christmas Eve menu,as we only eat fish dishes and no meat on that day..also I love watching your videos.Your Shabbat menu looks amazingly delicious. And I love to try new dishes.. in the last 6 months I have been following many videos about different religions.including Orthodox Jewish, Muslim and many more. And let me tell you I find that Orthodox Jews are very spiritual loving people. I love how you honour your Shabbat and many special holidays spiritually with so much meaning.. As a Catholic our sabbath day is Sundays. but it’s not the same anymore from when I was a child ,on every Sunday we always had a big family Meal as you probably know that our biggest meal of the day is around 1-2pm but it’s not the same anymore.Everyone is too busy with their children in sports shopping or working.. I wish the stores were closed on Sunday’s like they used to be when I was younger. anyways I just ed to say that I admire you very much. Also my thoughts and prayers are with all the Jew’s around the world and especially in Israel that the war will end asap and no more people getting hurt and or killed. In fact I feel that the war will end any day now.. and that we will have peace throughout the world.. We are moving into a new Era my dear Sara.just the way God wanted all his children to live in.With love, peace and prosperity. ❤❤❤❤❤ PS. Sono molto felice che tu parli italiano. And one day soon I will be in Montreal again and would love to meet you for a coffee.if that is possible.. your Italian friend from Hamilton Ontario.Ciao Bella…

I love spending time with you 🥰 As sad as it is that the school feels the need for a guard, it is better to have one and hopefully never need it. There are a lot of angry people out there and a lot of people that are not entirely in their right mind. Thank God that you are able to keep yourselves and your children safe.

Lovely video! My biggest fear watching you cook is that my husband and I will gain roo much weight! ;) I'm not Jewish, but you and your family have been especially on my mind, along with a number of real-life friends, for the past few weeks. May the God of Israel and the universe protect you and keep you safe!

I love watching your videos. You have such a soothing voice. I was raised catholic but my mother was an Ashkenazi Jew. My grandparents were born in Russia/ Poland. I really enjoy learning about my mothers side of my family. ❤❤

What a great video! The pumpkin-shaped Challah are a great addition! I’ll try your onion cutting method! I’m not Jewish, but I’m terribly sorry for what you’re all going through. I’m praying for you! ❤️

I am a noahide women started to study Torah with our rabbi in Jeruzalem about 2 years ago. And just want to let you know that our study group is trying to support the Jewish people by giving tsedaka, praying together and speaking up you and your family are not alone 🇮🇱🤍💙

I absolutely love spending time with you, as a nurse when I come home and settle down I put on your video and it is so relaxing and soothing.

I love to spend some time with you ❤ I really enjoy being in your kitchen while you prepare for Shabbat and your Daughter makes such a beautiful table. I do pray for you and your family both at home and all in Israel. Many blessings to you and your family

Thank you for continuing making videos. We all need to be strong in these challenging times - Shabbat brings joy to our hearts. Wishing you and your beautiful family a lots of blessings and spiritual power. Am Israel Chai ❤️

I wanted to say I love your channel. ❤️. I’m not Jewish but I find the channel, fascinating, informative, beautiful and soothing. I love your outlook on life and you have the best voice. 😊. Thank you for the videos. Sending prayers.

Praying with you for peace-in Jerusalem, in our homes, and in our hearts. Sending so much love your way. ❤

I love to spend some time with you, Sara Malka. Frum it Up kept me company through a dark time. You never know how deeply you touch lives! Am yisrael chai! Shabbat shalom.

I love to spend some time with you! Your videos are both informative and very calming and I eagerly look forward to each new one. Please know that you, your family, and the entire Jewish community are being remembered in our prayers daily. May G-d richly bless you.

I swear when you were cutting the lemon, I smelled it. lol I love spending time with you! As always, you are an inspiration and I am praying for your family and friends in Israel.

I am not Jewish - I am Catholic. We are living in a scary world and may God give us all the strength to survive anything we might face. My husband was Italian and I am from Polish/Slavish roots but when you compare all of our customs you realize that we came from one religion but depending on their circumstances people took different paths in their beliefs. The important thing to remember is to be kind and accepting of others. No matter what religious belief you have - that is what our God wants. You are an inspiration to all who listen and how fitting you use food - the one universal thing - to bind us all. I envy your organization and I pray every day for God to help me overcome my biggest downfall which is procrastination and no organizational skills - funny how we all struggle with some downfall. I will continue to watch you videos and hope just listening to you will somehow help me overcome my struggles. Blessings to you!

You have the most comforting voice. I imagine your patients and family feel so reassured just by that alone. It sounds like kindness and joy.

You are loved, I enjoy your videos so much thank you, I am not Jewish but I love to learn about how we as God's people live differently thank you

Love and prayers to you Dr. Sara,your family and all our Jewish brothers and sisters in Isreal and the USA. My daily prayers include all of you. I pray your family and friends in Israel and the world are secure and safe from harms way. Know that we stand with you.

I love spending time with you. Your voice is so calm and gentle as you take us through your preparations for Sabbat. Your daughter set a beautiful table. My heart goes out to those suffering in this time of fear and war. I pray that peace can be reached soon.

I love to spend some time with you! Your videos are so calming and comforting and inspiring. Your voice, your message, the food, and your table always are so welcoming. I am not Jewish, but I see my Jewish friends suffering with family and friends in Israel and the IDF. I pray daily for everyone and an end to suffering. Thank you for continuing to post for us! I look forward to your videos so much ❤

I love spending time with you Sara! Thank you for another beautiful video. Your voice is so calm on your relaxing. Congratulations on the growth of your channel. May it continue to grow. My prayers are with you and your family and the entire Jewish community during these trying times. Shalom!

You are so humble. The success of your channel is because of you and all the hard work you put into your videos. Your positivity in each video is very rewarding to watch, plus we learn a lot. It is a given that your channel has become successful. How you fit all that work into your already busy schedule is quite remarkable. Prayers to your family.

Absolutely beautiful food you made. You are such a blessing to your family 🙏🏼and to me. May the Lord shine 🌞His face upon you

Thank you for this video, your Shabbat meal looks lovely. I continue to pray for the people whose families have been devastated by these terrible events and loss of life .

Thank you so much for sharing your life and traditions with us. I find these videos very soothing, positive and uplifting.

I love to spend some time with you! Thank you for the Q&A, and for sharing your Shabbat prep. I love the connection that can be made across the miles, across the spans of time, and from heart to heart, thank G-od!

I love to spend time with you! Your videos have blessed me and my family so much this year. We have been praying for you all and will continue to, especially your relatives in the service. May God keep you all safe and well.

I randomly stumbled upon your Mikvah video months ago and found it informative and fascinating. Though I am not Jewish I love watching your videos as I learn about your way of life. Plus your voice is so relaxing. Keep well and God's blessings.

I love to spend some time with you! Your family and all of the Jewish community are in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for spending another day with me! I look forward to your videos each week! 😊❤

I am sorry to hear that your kiddos have guards at school. Unfortunately being a mom in the US we have police presence at our schools and have had for many years. I hope your kiddos and you and husband stay safe. This violence breaks my heart!

I love to spend some time with you! Thank you so much for taking time to show us your wonderful celebrations and traditions and processes. Your calm and warm delivery is so nice to listen to. I pray for your family's safety and quick return to your 'normal' ways of life, and for Israel to know peace and security very soon.

You are such an amazing woman. You speak a gazillion languages, have a hundred different degrees, get up early before everyone else to pray for an hour, somehow have time to prepare all this food for your family, maintain a YT channel, be an intensive care Dr, raise a family - and do it all with love and a smile. You have raised the bar so high that the rest of us mere mortals can only stand by in slack-jawed awe. I feel so weak and stupid! 😂

Thank you for inviting us into your home. I thoroughly enjoy your videos! I am especially appreciative of how you eloquently explain everything in as much detail as possible. I am so thankful I found such a warm and inviting space to learn what life looks like from your prospective. My favorite part of this video was watching your daughter prepare the table. She really has a beautiful talent! 💓

Sara Malka, your videos bring me so much pleasure. I have thought about you and your family since October 7, praying for those who were attacked, Israel, and all Jewish people throughout the world in the face of such evil. I love to spend some time with you, and I pray for your continued success, you're a bright light in a dark world.

I love to spend time with you, Sara. I love learning about your Shabbat customs and holidays. I’ve been thinking about you and your sweet family and praying for your safety and for the safety of all those being affected during this scary time. I pray for peace and for God to bless all His children 🙏🏻

I love spending time with you! Lifting up prayers daily for you and your family and our extended family in Israel. Blessings of joy.

Thank you for another relaxing and beautiful video. I love to spend some time with you! You and your family here and abroad will be in my daily prayers until peace is restored. Our hearts go out to the people who are in the midst of all the suffering. Take care my friend.

As a Christian, I love Israel and the Jewish people. I am praying for the safety of the Jews here and abroad. You are not alone.

Thank you for sharing your time with us. Blessed Be, God is with you, your family, and all those in the conflict in Israel.

I am so sorry that their are people in this world who hate just because of a religious affiliation ! I have been praying for Israel and will continue to do so. Thank you for this beautiful video! May God bless you and your family.

Another beautiful video, Sara! Thank you for allowing us to spend time with you and your lovely family! ❤

Your voice is so calming no matter what you are preparing! It’s just melodious!💕I continue to pray for Israel and the Jewish people everywhere. Thanks for sharing.🌹

I truly love to spend some time with you! I'm a Christian and I want to send you all my love and prayers in this time of suffering. Jewish people are loved and appreciated! ❤❤

I love to spend some time with you! ❤️❤️❤️ I am so sorry about the anti-semitism in our area... and the rest of the world. I hope you can stay safe. Big hugs from my family to yours, Sarah

Dear Dr. Sara: The world has lost it's moorings. Please know that I am praying for you, and your family. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Shabbat meal with us. I love spending time with you. ❤

Im also orthodox and an ophthalmology resident from israel. I love your videos. I admire you for your success in combining medicine, family and religion in such a perfect way. Keep praying for us in israel❤

I love to spend some time with you! Thank you for your videos; I am learning so much about Jewish culture. Your daughter did a fantastic job decorating the table. The napkins were magnificent.

Leah is getting so artistic with her table settings!

I love spending time with you! You made my morning so very special!...Thanking God who is so very good! Prayers for all🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for this video, Sarah! I saved it to my phone. Great ideas! Please please be safe as this world has completely gone on it's head! I very much enjoy watching you and your family! ❤

I loved to spend some time with you...im about to start my conversion and Im loving the warmth you share through these videos, they truly make me feel good and hope one day I can have a lovely shabbat evening,

Leah your Shabbat table was beautiful this week as always! I wish hope and pray for Israel to be healed and hostages to be returned safely. Shabbat shalom to you for next week, and I am so truly sorry for what humanity is threatening your lifestyle with. 🙏 I LOVE to spend some time with you, even as a gentile!!!

May the Grace of God flow though to all of us sharing in this time together. We are loved and precious in the eyes and heart of our Creator, blessings to you and your family and extended family at this time.. ❤

I love to spend some time with you too, Sara! As always, a lovely, cozy, and interesting video😊. I was surprised and delighted to learn you'd worked with MSF! I was a paramedic for 21yrs before I became disabled and if I hadn't met and married my husband and started a family early in my career I would have definitely pursued a position with MSF or a similar group. I only speak 2 languages fluently (English and German) but I am learning Spanish too. I have always admired polyglots. I pray daily that this war ends soon and that everyone affected by it heals from the trauma. Although I am not Jewish we have several dear families in our lives who are, including my husband's lifelong best friend, and another friend is of Palestinian descent. All of them have family in Israel and we pray for them as well.

I love to spend some time with you. I liked the pumpkin challah! & the whole cozy chat. I am praying for your family & everyone affected by the war.

I loved this video. I always wanted to see how you keep the food warm for Shabbat. May you and your family stay safe at this terrible time. ❤️

I love to spend some time with you! It makes my week to sit with my after-dinner coffee and watch your videos. [Shhh...I'm supposed to be making my weekly menu plan, but this is more fun!] Sara, my prayers are with you and your family (extended family, too!). May God protect you all!

I love to spend time with you❤️. My heart is breaking right now for Israel and all the Jewish people around the world. I will keep your family members living in Israel and serving in the IDF in my prayers!

many blessings and much respect, and thank you for your sharing these wonderful recipes with us. As I've been saying since the early 70s, "No matter where I'm standing, I always stand with Israel."

I can't help but to think how it must hard to prepare all this delicious the food for those moms who don't like to cook 😂 It looks delicious, wish I could try. Congrats you're amazing ❤

I love to spend some time with you! Wishing you and your loved ones safety and health in this time of turmoil. Your foods look so healthy and delicious - looks like you've got the routine down and do it all with such apparent ease! Thank you for inviting us into your home and life.

Leah's table was beautiful I loved the folded napkins and the cute little pumpkin challahs. I hope you and your family continue to be safe. and I love your videos!

Always excited to spend time with you 💫 The lil challahs are so adorable. I love to spend time with you❤

I am a Cradle Catholic, spending time with you makes me feel so spiritually at peace! Thank you for all you do for your RU-vid family!

I love you and your family, I love all Jews. I stand with Israel. I pray for the hostages, for your soldiers and for the safety of all Jews. I speak out against antisemitism daily. Regards from Belgium.

I made my first Challah last week and boy did it come out tasty. Thank you for your videos and recipe. Every video you lost means the world to me and I thank you for sharing your life. This video made me feel warm and cozy inside. It also gave me ideas for my prepping and table decor. Thank you!!
